Jojo Siwa has opened up on a major change she has made for fellow Celebrity Big Brother star Chris Hughes, as romance rumours continue to swirl.

The weekend programme hosted by Tim Lovejoy and Simon Rimmer featured an array of guests, including Adolescence star Ashley Walters, Suzi Ruffell, Gemma Whelan, Dominic Skinner, ALT BLK ERA alongside the former Celebrity Big Brother star.
There were some slightly awkward exchanges in the opening stage of the show as the hosts engaged with their guests. This included debating whether or not summer had officially started in the UK. June 1 marks the meteorological start of summer but the panel decided to debate this, reports the Mirror.
Before beginning any cooking segment, Tim Lovejoy decided to have a chat with a number of the guests. This included asking about Ashley Walters experience filming Netflix hit Adolescence and acknowledging that ALT BLK ERA were making their live television debut.

He also asked about Jojo Siwa's 'foray into the UK' and acknowledged that she had been 'living in our newspapers' ever since her appearance in the ITV reality series Celebrity Big Brother. While on the show, the former Dance Moms star got close with former Love Islander Chris Hughes.
Tim acknowledged that there had been "lots of gossip" about the pair. They have been pictured numerous times ever since their time on the show had come to an end.
Jojo surprisingly acknowledged that there is actually one major change that has occurred in her life as a result. She admitted: "Chris has made me into a Sunderland fan. Ha'way the lads!"
Referencing Tim's black and white top she added: "He would not be happy with the colours you are wearing right now."

Asking her about Sunderland's recent playoff success and promotion to the Premier League, Jojo decalred: "Oh baby, we've been waiting eight years. I've been singing the songs with my arms out. A fan actually made us matching bracelets but they were black and white."
She continued: "Chris said he wasn't sure he could wear it because it's Newcastle colours. So this sweet fan actually made us new ones but in Sunderland colours."

Steph Waring admits 'I lost my s**t' as she recounts 'hysterically crying, shaking and begging' as she got sacked from Hollyoaks after 28 years in 'frantic' meeting
Stephanie Waring has recalled 'hysterically crying, shaking and begging' when she was sacked from Hollyoaks. The actress, 47, starred in the Cheshire soap on Channel 4 for 28 years from 1996 to 2024. Hollyoaks was hit by stringent budget cuts last year and cut down from five to three instalments a week, letting go of staff too. Stephanie's character, Cindy Cunningham, was axed by bosses and the star has delved into how she reacted in her book, Breaking The Script. She recalled how she had a meeting with two producers who broke the news to her by reading a written statement. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new Showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. The star described how she struggled to process what was being said to her and as it sank in, she felt emotional at the departure of her beloved character. She wrote, 'But as the statement neared its close, before the final words were even spoken, I felt a tear roll down my cheek. I was shaking as I looked at the two of them.' 'Then it happened. 'And with that said, we will be losing Cindy from the show. I'm so sorry, Steph.' The world stopped for a second as I replayed those words in my head. Then… I lost my s***.' She was particularly heartbroken that her staple character would not be featuring in the big anniversary special. Stephanie went on to write, 'What? No! You mean you're not taking me to the 30th?' I blurted out, referencing the upcoming anniversary of the show – a milestone that meant so much to the long-standing cast. 'I don't understand. No, I don't understand. I don't understand!' I was frantic. 'But I've been so loyal. Please, no. This is my life. I love my job – please, no!' She described how she was 'hysterically crying' and added: 'I repeated myself, hoping one of them would see my distress and take it all back. Had they made a mistake? My world felt like it was imploding.' She signed her new contract which started from April 27 and her character departed in July. However, the short notice made her feel like she 'had swallowed a grenade' and she admitted to 'a few expletives rolling off my tongue like bullets'. Afterwards, she ran out of the room and found comfort from Kirsty Leigh Porter and Jennifer Metcalfe, who starred as Leela Dexter and Mercedes McQueen in the show. Since leaving the soap, Stephanie has gone on to become a 'certified mind-body coach', according to her social media. Her new book, Breaking The Script, was released earlier this week.

Tom Felton reprises Draco Malfoy character for Harry Potter play
The Surrey-born actor, who starred in all the film adaptations of JK Rowling's fantasy novel until the last movie in 2011, will make a comeback as Harry Potter's school bully on Broadway at the Lyric Theatre in New York later this year. The production said he was the 'first actor from the films to reprise' their role on stage, and this will be Felton's Broadway debut. He said: 'Being a part of the Harry Potter films has been one of the greatest honours of my life. A post shared by Tom Felton (@t22felton) 'Joining this production will be a full-circle moment for me, because when I begin performances in Cursed Child this fall, I'll also be the exact age Draco is in the play. 'It's surreal to be stepping back into his shoes – and of course his iconic platinum blond hair – and I am thrilled to be able to see his story through and to share it with the greatest fan community in the world. 'I look forward to joining this incredible company and being a part of the Broadway community.' Felton, 37, made his West End debut in the supernatural thriller 2:22 – A Ghost Story in 2022. He will begin his run in Harry Potter And The Cursed Child on November 11 for a limited 19 weeks, the production said on Thursday. Producers Sonia Friedman and Colin Callender said: 'It's not lost on us that this is a cultural moment charged with nostalgia, evolution, and emotion. 'Tom's return to Hogwarts bridges generations of fans and breathes new life into a beloved story. We're beyond thrilled to welcome Tom back 'home' but also into a new family: our Broadway company. 'We can't wait to see him inhabit this role once again with the same depth, gravity, and humanity he has always brought to Draco.' The play, written by Adolescence co-creator Jack Thorne, began in 2016 in London and has had a Broadway run since 2018. It was co-devised by Rowling, and is set 19 years after the events of the seventh and final book, with Ministry of Magic employee Harry and his wife Ginny Weasley waving off their youngest son Albus Severus to school. The two-part play, which stretches over five hours, sees Albus struggle at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry with the weight of his family legacy and go to extreme and dangerous lengths to right the wrongs of the past. Since the ending of the film franchise, Felton has been in 2011's Rise Of The Planet Of The Apes and had recurring roles in the TV series Murder In The First, The Flash and Origin. He has also used his voice in the Harry Potter video games, based on the movie, and featured in the special Harry Potter 20th Anniversary: Return To Hogwarts alongside Daniel Radcliffe, Rupert Grint and Emma Watson, who played Harry, Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger. The seven Harry Potter books are set to be brought to the small screen by HBO, with production beginning at Warner Bros Studios Leavesden in summer 2025. The young stars have been cast with Dominic McLaughlin as Harry, Arabella Stanton as Hermione, and Alastair Stout as Ron, while the new Draco has not yet been confirmed. Earlier this year, British actor Paapa Essiedu and US star John Lithgow were confirmed as the cruel Professor Severus Snape and Hogwarts headmaster Professor Albus Dumbledore, respectively. Also joining is Welsh comedian and actor Paul Whitehouse as the magic-less Hogwarts caretaker Argus Filch, and Hot Fuzz actor Nick Frost as the friendly groundskeeper Rubeus Hagrid.
