Chris Hughes is 'addicted to connection' as ex co-star says 'I cant get rid of him'
Chris Hughes ' close friend and former co-star Jake Quickenden has shared his opinion on the former Love Island star's close friendship with JoJo Siwa as he appeared in the audience of tonight's Late and Live.
JoJo, 21, and Chris, 32, have shared an extremely close friendship in the house, with some suspecting it may be something more. The two have been seen giving each other massages and sharing cuddles in bed, but Jake has revealed that his friend is just "addicted to connection".
Jake and Chris first met on ITV's Lorraine and became close when they did The Real Full Monty together in 2020. The pair have been close ever since, with Jake even admitting Chris makes him sleep in his bed when he stays over.
Speaking to host AJ Odudu, former X-Factor star Jake said: "He is addicted to connection. I did a show with him, he latched onto me and I couldn't get rid of him. Still can't get rid of him," he laughed.
"It was the same in Love Island with Kem," Jake continued. "He finds his person and they're his safety blanket.
Speaking on JoJo and Chris sharing cuddles in bed together, Jake said: "Even when I stop over at his house he won't let me sleep in the spare room, he makes me sleep in bed with him.
"He wants to have a chat and he wants to wake up and bring you a cup of tea. That's just Chris."
AJ then asked Jake if he'd received a back tickle from Chris in bed like JoJo has, as father of two Jake laughed: "I mean I shut it down. I shut it down straight away! But he is really touchy feely."
In tonight's episode, JoJo and Chris were seen taking their friendship even further as Chris was seen wearing JoJo's bikini bottoms on his head while he slept.
Although the duo found it amusing, fans weren't as impressed. Taking to X, formerly known as Twitter, one fan wrote: Chris has Jojos bikini bottoms on his head.. don't tell me something isnt off.. this isn't a friendship nor normal. #CelebrityBigBrother".
Another said: "Chris having JoJo's bikini on his face [sick emoji]".

Ex On the Beach's Helen Briggs and Chet Johnson marry two weeks after shock engagement
Helen Briggs and Chet Johnson are officially newlyweds after they walked the aisle just two weeks after getting engaged, and two months after welcoming their fourth child Ex on the Beach couple Helen Briggs and Chet Johnson, who shot to fame in 2016, have officially tied the knot just two weeks after they shared their surprise engagement with their followers. The couple featured on the MTV reality show a decade ago and are now proud parents to four young children. The couple had only just welcomed their fourth child, Honey, in June, just weeks before they announced their engagement. Helen, 30, and Chet, 35, also share Ocean, five, Elvis, four, and two-year-old Peach. After their engagement, they revealed that their big day wasn't far away. DJ and former Geordie Shore star Joel Corry confirmed that they had tied the knot after he shared a short clip of the sweet couple following their romantic ceremony. It comes after David Beckham speaks 'as a father' in 'family' announcement after latest Brooklyn snub. The blushing bride opted for a short, white lace dress paired with a bridal headpiece and some white stilettos, while the groom cut a smart figure in a black suit and a classic bow tie. The couple shared their engagement announcement with a sweet video where they sat on a sofa and explained that they were entering a new 'chapter' of their lives. They also shared the sweet story of their engagement, revealing it was Helen who popped the question. Chet said in the video: "I was at the gym, and I get this phone call and she's like. 'Do you want to get married?' and I'm like, 'What do you mean, do you want to get married?'" Helen then said: "If anyone knows me, I always said 10 years and I'll decide if I want to get married or not." They added the caption: "Today is our 10 year anniversary… & the beginning of something even more beautiful. In a couple of weeks, we are saying 'I do" We can't wait for this next chapter…." Friends and fans flooded the comments to send their congratulatory messages, including former Love Island star Katie Salmon, who said: 'love to you guys!! 10 years!! Been a blessing to watch you grow into the most amazing wholesome real family. Happy for you all'. One fan added: 'Arrrrr congratulations love following you too. You're both so real and so much fun', while another said: 'I love this!!! You do your wedding how you both want to! The important thing is the marriage, not the wedding'. While the couple are stronger than ever, it hasn't all been plain sailing as Helen accused Chet of cheating on her back in 2023. Chet denied the accusations and the couple reunited shortly after. Helen opened up on the split on Instagram when she was asked about her relationship in a Q&A. She said: "So this question gets asked a lot so I would only like to address this once. Chet and I are back together. We went through hell and back this summer over an allegation which didn't turn out to be true. I jumped the gun and put a statement without even reading between the lines.' "Chet always denied the allegation and later down the line cleared his name,' she added. "Putting a statement out there was a hasty decision on my behalf, because the evidence I had was nil and void and led to me accusing Chet of something he actually didn't do. I don't know why I let these trolls get to me and try and ruin my relationship. Chet and I are working hard to get back on track for the sake of us as a couple and our family, and this is the last time I will speak on this matter."

JoJo Siwa reveals she and Chris Hughes want to start family very soon
Big Brother star JoJo Siwa says 'I absolutely would love to have babies' as she discusses her future plans with boyfriend Chris Hughes after shutting down pregnancy rumours Dance Mom's star JoJo Siwa has hinted at her plans to start a family, which 'aren't that far away', with her boyfriend Chris Hughes as their whirlwind romance grows stronger. The couple met in the iconic Celebrity Big Brother house in April, and viewers watched their bond begin a loving friendship that eventually grew into something more. Not long after the show ended, the two revealed they started dating and have been sharing intimate details about their romance with fans online ever since. After travelling to the UK to promote her new song Raspy, JoJo opened up about her future and revealed she 'craves' motherhood in the future. It comes after David Beckham speaks 'as a father' in 'family' announcement after latest Brooklyn snub. When asked about whether she wants children, JoJo, 22, told The Sun: 'I crave them, I absolutely would love to have babies, it's absolutely in my future and I don't think it's that far away.' The dancer added: 'I'm at a place in my life where my career by no means is slowing down, but my career is at a point where it works and it runs and I know how to do everything that I'm doing and I'm not learning anything new, so I'm at a great place with that. 'Obviously I have a great boy in my life, there are a lot of things to happen before then, but definitely want kids.' JoJo's family admission follows after Chris, 32, opened up on their close relationship last month in a chat with US Weekly where he discussed the pair getting married. Chris said: "When you're besotted with each other and in love with someone, I think it's fun to look forward to those things." He added: "Of course, I want to get married to her, I would never shy away from that. And one day I want to have children. We both come from extremely loving families and very wholesome families who care for you so it would be nice to reciprocate that going forward. One day I'd love to have children, it would be an absolute dream for sure." Last month, JoJo hit out at the claims that she was pregnant to her 46 million followers on TikTok as she shared a video of herself plugging her cover of Bette Davis Eyes. The rumours began on TikTok after a video of Chris appearing to affectionately stroke JoJo's stomach sent fans down a rabbit hole and videos of fans discussing the rumours are being posted in their tens. JoJo decided to shut down the rumours by playing a game of Two Truths and A Lie, and asked fans which statement is a lie: '1) I've never smoked a [cigarette] 2) I'm pregnant 3) This song comes out on Spotify Friday.'

Molly-Mae Hague's sister finally ends Tommy Fury feud after doubts over romance
Molly-Mae Hague's sister Zoe has been spending time with Tommy Fury and her niece Bambi - suggesting the family are all getting along nicely after awkward past exchanges Molly-Mae Hague's sister has had a change of heart over Tommy Fury. Zoe is now supporting the Love Island star's reignited romance with boxer Tommy - after previously sharing her fears the relationship was unsalvageable. Reality show fans will recall watching Molly-Mae and Tommy, both 26, fall for each other on ITV back in 2019. They then enjoyed one of the strongest romances in Love Island history - moving in together soon after leaving the villa, welcoming a baby daughter named Bambi in January 2023, and getting engaged six months later. But fans were shocked in August last year - when Molly-Mae revealed the unthinkable - that her romance with Tommy had come to a crashing end after months of speculation about the state of their relationship. By the beginning of this year, however, the couple appeared close together. It comes after Andy Carroll 'splits from Lou Teasdale due to her demands' weeks after public row. READ MORE: Gemma Collins' plans for 'mystical' wedding on hold again as she makes blunt admission And in May they confirmed they were giving their romance another try. Molly-Mae's sister Zoe, however, had expressed her fears that the relationship was doomed - with her damning opinion being aired in the reality couple's Amazon reality show, Behind It All, in May. Now, three months on, it seems Zoe, Molly-Mae, and Tommy are all getting along swimmingly. Taking to social media over the weekend, the trio shared footage and photos of themselves working out in a gym together - alongside toddler Bambi. Zoe and Bambi could be seen performing burpee exercises together, while further content showed the toddler watching her dad, Tommy, running on a treadmill in the same gym. Molly-Mae shared content alongside an amusing caption, writing: "I think she may feel the same about the gym as I do," drawing attention to Bambi's unimpressed expression while watching her dad exercise. The happy family scenes come just a few short months after the Love Island stars confirmed they were back together. A source previously said of the reunion: 'It sounds extreme, but Molly feels much more reassured when Tommy checks in. It all helps with trust, honesty and transparency between the two of them. "Tommy has been very dedicated so far — if he's on a train, he will FaceTime the moment he gets off. It's the same with any flights that he takes or hotels he's staying in. 'Tommy dutifully phones Molly the minute that he arrives anywhere. And then she likes him to also show her where he is. This has been going on for months now, and Tommy's friends are impressed that he has agreed to it whole-heartedly.' The strict rules were laid down after Tommy had opened up about his relationship with alcohol. He said last year: 'The reason why me and Molly broke up was because I got addicted to alcohol and I couldn't be the partner that I wanted to be any more. 'It kills me to say it, but it's true, I couldn't. I loved a pint of beer, loved to drink, and it is what it is.' Following the confessions, Zoe had shared her concerns over her sister getting back together with the boxer. She said in scenes that aired in the Amazon reality show: "I would always, always, always, 100% be there for her,' Zoe insists in a tense on-camera exchange. 'But, yeah, I do worry for her, and my relationship with her if they would get back together. Definitely. I just want us to get on. I actually don't hate you in the slightest. Like, I feel like you actually hate me." Molly-Mae then hit back: 'No, I don't hate you. But I feel that anger from you towards me, from like, years and years of us sometimes having arguments.' But Zoe refused to back down, warning: 'I think she potentially needs to look into the future and think what's best for her and Bambi. She's got a long, rocky road ahead, unfortunately.' Molly-Mae has even had to hit back at her own fans - who have accused Tommy of not doing enough for his daughter and suggesting Zoe has been more present for her. In an emotional video post, Molly-Mae told her followers: "I've seen so many comments saying 'Zoe is more the dad' I only vlog when I am not with Tommy, I am with Tommy literally 80 per cent of the week and he is with Bambi the majority of the week. "But I vlog when we are here and he is at his because it's just something that I am not ready to like open up with yet and like flinging the camera around like when we're a family. I just think like we're not there yet and still figuring out life and living situations. I'm not ready to vlog like we used to."
