After forming a close connection in the house, they confirmed their romance after weeks of speculation.
Chris, 32, and JoJo, 22, have now taken a big step in their relationship - and their families are involved too.
A source told The Sun: 'JoJo, her entire family and Chris are off on their first family holiday together onboard the Star of the Seas.
"The mega-ship boasts a full-blown water park, non-stop entertainment and more deck space than you can shake a sun lounger at - and weirdly, Chris isn't worried about spending so much time with his inlaws on the ocean.
"It's taking things to the next level - they're really serious about each other.'
The pair have been inseparable over the last few months since meeting on the ITV show.
US star JoJo recently shared an intimate loved-up photo of herself and Chris - while revealing the "best thing" about dating him.
In the picture, she is seen lying on top of Chris, 32, as the pair float on a lilo in a pool.
Written over the sexy snap, she answered fan questions, with one asking her: "What's the best thing about dating Chris?"
JoJo replied: "No matter what I am feeling he is always there to help me with that feeling.

"He is the most fun to be around and he's not only good to me but he's good to everybody. Genuinely I think he's the nicest person I know.
"Also all of the universe signs are fun to spot out.
"Honestly while I was answering this question one of our songs came on the loudspeaker of where I'm at right now."
Meanwhile, Jojo's ex, Kath Ebbs, went public with their new romance.

Meanwhile, Basic Instinct star and ladies' man Michael, then 53, had separated from first wife Diandra Luker, who he eventually divorced in 2000, and had done a stint in rehab for booze and drug issues in 1992. But Catherine, now 55, recalled: 'We've been married 25 years, it's something to celebrate. And they said it would never last!

She is now starring as Morticia Addams in the second series of Wednesday, which was released on Netflix this week, and will be filming season three on their big day. But Michael, now 80, doesn't mind waiting a few weeks for a party. Catherine said: 'I've been working a lot this year and he's been so supportive.

In 2009, they returned to New York. Showing off her moves Catherine said: 'Our children are truly wonderful. It's that fine balance of not putting them in a gilded cage of protection, of allowing them to make mistakes, of guiding them.' Wednesday, which launched in 2022, also stars Jenna Ortega in the title role and Luis Guzman as Morticia's husband Gomez. Advertisement It became a huge hit for the streamer and won four Primetime Emmy Awards. Catherine admits that she relates to the Addams family, saying: 'It's a family who have issues, and we all relate to that.

Morticia and Wednesday have a strained relationship in the show, but Catherine says that she and real-life daughter Carys share a close bond. The actress reveals Morticia's parenting style involves 'nurturing and then having discipline'. Carys has experienced a small dose of her parenting style. Catherine said: 'I did give her side-eye the other day. I rolled my eyes, and she went, 'Don't Morticia me, Mom'. I thought it was a wonderful new line that kids can say to their mothers, 'Don't Morticia me'.' Advertisement In addition to her happy off-screen marriage, Catherine said she is lucky to have a great on-screen hubby in Luis. She added of the Puerto Rican actor: 'We don't rehearse our chemistry, it just seems to really show up. We did this movie called Traffic 25 years ago and had a great friendship. 6 The couple defying critics together in 2019 Credit: AP:Associated Press 6 Catherine at last month's Wednesday premiere Credit: The Mega Agency Advertisement 'We enjoy each other's company and respect each other as artists.'

'Secret weapon' She said: 'I'm a dancer and Luis moves very well. He worked so hard to get those moves.' Catherine revealed that one scene with Jenna in Wednesday sees her dust off another old skill — the sword-fighting she mastered for The Mask Of Zorro. Advertisement She revealed: 'Jenna and I had so much fun. I did sword-fighting in Zorro, so, excuse the pun, it was my secret weapon.' The new Wednesday features a host of stars, including Brits Billie Piper, Joanna Lumley and Thandiwe Newton, plus US actors Steve Buscemi and Haley Joel Osment. It's a journey of learning and loving and fun, and the prospect of reaching a 25-year anniversary is really quite thrilling.

She was invited on to the series after clips of Wednesday dancing went viral when fans set them to Gaga's track Bloody Mary. The megastar singer flew to Ireland to film scenes and Catherine says she was a joy to work with. Advertisement She explained: 'To have a woman of that calibre within our environment, it's so incredibly amazing. 'When I met her, she was humble, gracious, creative, collaborative and a woman who is just, you know, it exudes from her — greatness. She doesn't know it. 'She's a wonderful artist.

He claimed on two separate occasions bags of white power, suspected to be cocaine, were found in a smoking area and also in the men's toilets.

Advertisement It comes after The Sun on Sunday revealed last week The Sun on Sunday revealed last week the BBC had launched an inquiry into allegations of cocaine abuse on Strictly by two stars. BBC bosses have hired external lawyers Pinsent Masons to speak to former contestants, professional dancers and crew. We told how one star accused another of being 'off their face' on drugs. And a celebrity had told how it was 'well known on the show that two stars took cocaine . . . it was talked about widely among the cast'. Advertisement Now, in the latest claims, the long-serving former production crew member, told The Sun on Sunday: 'Strictly is full of partying and drug -taking. BBC launches inquiry into damning allegations of drug consumption on flagship show Strictly Come Dancing 'The main partying is on site at Elstree after filming of the live show has finished. Boozing and drug taking goes on until 3am, sometimes 4am. 'The smoking area outside is a hive of activity. Cocaine gets taken there.

Advertisement He claimed the annual show filmed at the Blackpool Tower Ballroom was 'a particularly big celebration' for the cast and crew. He said: 'Blackpool was always a big party night. I was offered cocaine by a star at an after-show party. Lots of people would go back to the hotel. 'It was a closed-off party, just for the cast and crew. It went on until 5am, even to 6am, it was insane. People were wired and you could see it in their eyes. 'There was lots of champagne and Prosecco too, loads of bottles of it.' Advertisement He added that he thought it was 'well known' on the programme that one of the stars took cocaine, and that he felt they needed help. He said: 'They had a real problem with cocaine, lots of people spoke about it.' Referring to these latest allegations, a BBC spokesman said: 'We have clear protocols and policies in place for dealing with any serious complaint raised with us. 'We would always encourage people to speak to us if they have concerns.' Advertisement 3 The BBC is preparing to air its 23rd series of Strictly next month Credit: BBC Last night, a BBC source said they would look into the ex-worker's allegations and asked us to put him in touch with them — after the former worker said he was considering talking to the investigation team. It came as the BBC is prepared to launch its 23rd series of Strictly next month. The Corporation is hoping for a scandal-free show after previous ones were hit by numerous controversies. Advertisement They included Sherlock actress Amanda Abbington accusing Giovanni Pernice of bullying her and Graziano Di Prima being sacked for kicking his celebrity partner Zara McDermott. Last weekend, The Sun on Sunday revealed drugs allegations were made in a legal submission to the BBC in March, by law firm Russells, on behalf of celebrity contestant Wynne Evans — who was axed from the Strictly live tour after he was recorded making an inappropriate sexual comment. It was understood others have also reported to the BBC allegations of drug taking on Strictly. A source said: 'It's been an extremely difficult time for everyone connected to Strictly but, to be fair, the BBC acted promptly on The Sun's drug allegations and brought in external lawyers to help with their investigation. Advertisement 'They're clearly determined to clean up the show, which of course is a hugely popular family show, so it's no real surprise they are taking these allegations seriously and holding a proper inquiry. 'With the new Strictly series about to start, and the latest crop of celebrities being unveiled soon, the BBC will want it all to run smoothly.'
