Chris Hughes gushes over JoJo Siwa as he proudly supports her during London gig
Chris Hughes was ever the proud partner as he watched JoJo Siwa's London concert on Monday night, smiling and waving to the singer as he gushed over her performance.
Chris Hughes looked proud as punch as he joined JoJo Siwa's mum, Jessalynn, to watch the singer's concert at Colours Hoxton on Monday night.
"The was one of the best shows I've ever seen," he told fans after the show had wrapped up, smiling for selfies as the crowd circled him. During the show, Chris, 32, filmed JoJo singing while also dancing along to her tracks from inside the DJ booth, where he laughed along with her mum.
And she wasn't afraid to point out he was there, even serenading him with one song as she covered Kim Carnes' Bette Davis Eyes, but changed the words to "Chris Hughes' eyes" and smiled over to him.
After serenading him and smiling over, 22-year-old JoJo said she had to 'compose herself' and couldn't perform feeling so giddy.
Describing Chris as 'someone special', JoJo even came on stage in a bedazzled Sunderland football top, an ode to the former Love Island star's team.
"This is for somebody special who's here tonight," said JoJo as she ran off stage to change into the top. Coming back out, she continued, "Over the last few weeks since coming out of big brother, actually in big brother too, I've learned a lot about Sunderland. Are you guys Sunderland fans?"
After being met with a flurry of booing, JoJo laughed and looked over to Chris, continuing, "Christopher, you're letting me get booed up here? You guys might not like it, but he does so let's pretend".
During the concert, which saw a packed crowd all go wild for JoJo and even chant Chris' name, the former Dance Moms star admitted she felt 'at home' in the UK.
"I want to say a massive thank you, not only for coming tonight, but for welcoming me into this country with open arms.
"I've been feeling a little weird today and I haven't spoken to anybody about it. I'm going to speak to you. I haven't felt completely like JoJo today. It's a good thing, something about being here, I feel a bit like Joelle," she told the crowd.
JoJo continued: "I feel happy as Joelle, normally I perform and I'm happy as JoJo but Joelle is going through something. But I feel happy."
She went on to say that the last two months since exiting the Celebrity Big Brother house have been the "best of my life", shouting to the crowd: "Thank god for Big Brother!"
JoJo and Chris struck up a close bond in the Celebrity Big Brother house back in April, with many fans speculating over whether they could be more than friends after watching them become tactile on the show. JoJo went onto split from her partner Kath Ebbs at the Celebrity Big Brother final's afterparty, which Kath announced on social media the day after.
In recent weeks, Chris and JoJo spent the pop star's birthday together in Mexico, with JoJo gushing about her new boyfriend in a social media post. "My heart is smiling so big with tears in my eyes," she wrote alongside a complication video. "This birthday week is one that I will cherish for the rest of my life. I can't quite put it into words... the best I can say is it's been the most magical week of my life, truly the way it feels."
The pair were later spotted kissing in Mexico and after Chris returned to the UK, the couple reunited at Heathrow Airport this weekend, with Chris surprising JoJo with a bouquet of red roses.

A friend reportedly told The Sun: 'Ouzy was really shocked and blindsided to see Sophie had signed up for Love Island.

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. 'It's weird for anyone though knowing your ex is about to go on Love Island and could fall for someone else on TV.' MailOnline has contacted Ouzy for comment. The former couple made a join appearance at the Beauty Awards in 2023, where the spoke about their budding romance. He told the publication on the red carpet: 'It's going really well. She's inspirational. We've been dating for a few months.' Sophie chimed: 'He's really kind, that's my favourite thing about him.' The stunning British influencer almost lost her life in a horrifying fire-breathing accident. Sophie will fly to the picturesque Spanish island for Love Island's twelfth series following a brush with death when she was 22. Sophie had been working as a firebreather for 18-months before she suffered horrific burns to her face and chest during a freak accident in the United States. She was performing at a huge event in Chicago when the venue's air conditioning blew flames she was expelling from her mouth back into her face, leaving her with serious, life-threatening burns. Sophie has since turned to modelling and influencing and has even written a book about her experience. She also works with Katie Piper 's foundation, which supports people living with burns and scars. The new series will kick off on Monday 9th June, one week later than previous years. The last season of the ITV dating programme - which was the second All Stars version - ended in February, and saw Gabby Allen and Casey O'Gorman crowned champions, before their split earlier this month. Fans will be happy to know that it's not long before they will get their Love Island fix. A post shared on ITV's social media featured a snap unveiling the return date, along with the caption: 'Mark your calendar, you're invited to this year's hottest meeting... 'Agenda: Initial coupling, strategic navigation of red flags, and identification of potential long-term partnerships.' The first trailer for the new series was released on Monday, and showed host Maya Jama in a meeting with Love Island bosses, in the hope of making the show's 10th Anniversary series its most explosive yet. Maya - who starting hosting the show in 2023 - is seen in a boardroom called Love Island HQ and says: 'Right, this year Love Island needs something bigger, something bolder. I want ideas.' One person asks: 'Move it to the Isle of Wight?' Another asks: 'What if we turn it into musical?' leading Maya to sassily question the move with 'Why?' Another says in Japanese: 'Love Island, on ice?' to which Maya replies: 'Never!' Unhappy with all the suggestions, Maya pushes the paper off her desk and shouts: 'No!' She adds: 'This year I want more drama, more bombshells, more break-ups, more make-ups. I want more twists. I want more twists than ever.'

I'm A Celebrity star 'signs up' for latest edition of Celebrity Bake Off
A former star of I'm A Me Out of Here has reportedly signed up for the latest edition of the Bake Off in a Stand Up To Cancer special The latest famous face to be signed up for the Great British Bake Off is said to have been confirmed. Former I'm A Celebrity star Babatunde Aleshe has reportedly agreed to another reality TV show following his stint in the jungle. The comedian, 38, starred on the ITV show Down Under in 2022, and is now said to be ready to test his culinary skills. It's claimed Babatunde will take part in the Stand Up To Cancer special of the hit Channel 4 show. "Babatunde is guaranteed to be hilarious and will no doubt have plenty of banter with Paul, Noel, Caroline and Alison," a source said. Speaking to the Sun, the TV insider continued: "'He's not known for his prowess in the kitchen so there's sure to be some panicky moments laced with the good humour he's known for. "His energy on the Gogglebox sofa has always been pure positivity and very infectious, and bosses are hoping he'll bring that to the tent." Other names reportedly signed up for the unique edition include JoJo Siwa. Hot on the heels of her Celebrity Big Brother appearance - where she met Chris Hughes - the Dance Moms star is claimed to be set for another UK reality TV show. The 22-year-old American singer boosted her profile on the opposite side of the Atlantic in April when she was a contestant on ITV's Celebrity Big Brother - she already had a huge stateside following. Now it has been reported that JoJo will be popping up on Channel 4 and testing out her culinary skills. A source claimed:"This is a bit of a coup for the Bake Off because Jojo is currently one of the most talked about young stars on TV right now. "She's barely had time to catch her breath, leaving CBB last month amid huge media attention and heading straight into another huge show this month. It's also a fantastic gig for her because although she already has a fanbase over here, the cookery contest also introduces her to a wider British audience," the source added to The Sun. "Plus she got plenty of experience of cooking in front of the cameras while she was on Celebrity Big Brother, though this time she won't have hunky Chris to distract her." JoJo and Chris' budding friendship stole the show in the Big Brother house. Speculation was rife they were more than just friends, with JoJo revealed to have dumped fiance Kath Ebbs at the wrap party. Snaps have since emerged of the singer kissing the 32-year-old former Love Island star while they were on holiday together in Mexico. They have continued to pair special mentions to each other on social media following their exit from the CBB house.

New Love Island star exits ITV show after bosses learn of past arrest
One Love Island star has left the ITV villa after bosses learned of his past arrest. The star, who was released with no further action, said he 'fully cooperated with the police investigation' A new Love Island star was recently removed from the line-up of the upcoming series after bosses learned of his past arrest. Kyle Ashman, who was due to take part in the dating series airing this month, is no longer entering the Spanish villa following news of his recent arrest coming to light. Earlier this year, the 23-year-old water operative was arrested and quizzed by police with another person over an attack in Stafford, which Kyle said he had no involvement in a recent statement. After being quizzed by police, he was released with no further action. Speaking on his exit, Kyle said: "I fully cooperated with this police investigation and made it very clear that I had no involvement in this incident. I am not a violent person and any suggestion otherwise is a mischaracterisation." ITV also released a statement on his departure saying: "For personal reasons, Kyle will not be entering the Love Island Villa as planned. Staffordshire Police had previously said: 'We were called to a social club on Riverway, Stafford, at 7.40pm on Friday, February 28 following reports that someone had been glassed outside and a fight was taking place. Some of the men involved were wearing masks and were carrying weapons. 'Two men went to hospital after suffering injuries at the scene. Both have since been discharged. A man and a woman suffered minor injuries at the scene but did not want any medical treatment. 'Officers have reviewed CCTV footage and have been actively carrying out enquiries to find out more about what happened. A 22-year-old man, from Stafford, was arrested on suspicion of wounding and affray. Another man, also 22 and from Stafford, was arrested on suspicion of affray. 'Both were questioned in custody and bailed with conditions while our enquiries continue.' The police later confirmed both suspects were released with no further action last month. Meanwhile, when Kyle was meant to enter the villa, he shared his expectations from the show and shared how he flirted with women. He said: "I just go with it, find something to compliment a girl on and go from there." The star went on to say he was looking for "someone that's fun, confident and just themselves".
