JoJo Siwa is all smiles as she steps out in NYC ahead of her return to the UK to reunite with Chris Hughes
looked cheerful as she stepped out in Soho, New York City, ahead of her return to the UK at the end of the month.
The star, 21, revealed she is flying to London in a matter of weeks to reunite with Chris Hughes, 32.
The pair struck up an incredibly close bond while appearing on Celebrity Big Brother together last month, with fans questioning whether their friendship was purely platonic.
SCROLL DOWN FOR VIDEO
Fans have been sent into a frenzy over JoJo and Chris's connection as they are convinced they have a blossoming romance, after JoJo called time on her relationship with partner Kath Ebbs at the CBB wrap party last month.
The reality TV star was all smiles after telling fans she will be heading to the UK 'at the end of May' in a TikTok video.
The dancer, who is set to release her new song Bulletproof on Friday, was tight-lipped on the reason for her trip, as she shared the news in the latest episode of her Tea Time And Tea video series.
She said: 'I have a little bit of tea, little bit, and I'm not supposed to talk about this so if anybody asks you I didn't talk about this.
'But I got word on going back to London, and without saying anything, I'm just going to say... end of May.'
The post sparked a sea of delight from her newfound UK fanbase, who fell in love with JoJo during her stint in the CBB house.
One commented: 'WE'RE WAITING FOR YOU WITH OPEN ARMS.'
'Soooo if JoJo comes to London to perform - who fancies a big meet up?!!'
'Should have come back to the UK instead of NYC... should have taken that London flight when you were offered it! I've never watched CBB in my life until you were on it... now I miss it every night.'
'End of May!!! The UK is so ready for you to come home, we miss Joelle!'
'Sorry I just CHOKED on my own tea ARE YOU RETURNING TO THE UK?!'
JoJo shared the video after flying to New York to begin promoting her new song and music video, which will be her first since finishing in third place on CBB last month.
Last week, the former Dance Moms star continued to gush over her close bond with Chris as she shared sweet snaps of the pair to Instagram.
JoJo proved her admiration for the TV presenter is still as strong as ever as she mentioned him in a Q&A, while also commenting on her happy memories.
When one fan asked what her favorite picture of the pair was, JoJo uploaded a snap of them hugging in the house, with another seeing them on a FaceTime call together.
While another post saw her hint at her memories of their time together when asked what makes her happy.
She said: 'So many things... but currently something that's not very typical. I love replaying things in my head over and over that make me happy!!!!'
With another post showed JoJo practising her and Chris's dance to Dirty Dancing's (I've Had) The Time Of My Life song as she noted he'd yet to show up for rehearsals.
JoJo's stoked the flames of romance with Chris when she failed to shut down a possibility of a romantic future during an appearance at Stanford Speakers Bureau's A Night With JoJo Siwa.
The star was asked how she sees the relationship progressing, to which she said: 'I mean look, we have the absolute most fun together and he is an absolute gem that's come into my life.
JoJo's words were met with an abundance of 'awws' from the crowd and reacting to them, she said: 'Don't let him see this it will boost his ego!'
She continued: 'Genuinely something I love about him so much is that he has zero ego, he's a really incredible sweet man.
'I told him this on the last night, maybe it wasn't the last night but sometime. I said you're a vital part of my life that I didn't know was missing.
'But I'm happy that I don't have to anymore. So yeah he is an awesome guy and I think he will be around for a very long time.'
As the crowd wolf whistled at her response, JoJo told them to grow up.
Confirming that Chris is going nowhere, she said: 'He's a keeper, we'll keep him around, we'll see.'

BREAKING NEWS Alice Liveing is pregnant! Fitness influencer is congratulated by Carrie Johnson and Vicky Pattison as she reveals she's expecting first child - after concerning fans with A&E dash
Fitness influencer Alice Liveing has revealed she's pregnant. The vlogger, 32, shared the joyous news in an Instagram post on Sunday, with a video of herself cradling her growing baby bump and cuddling up to husband Patrick Murphy. Alongside the sweet video, Alice penned: 'Some news we wanted to share with you. 'I appreciate that the journey to get here can be a hard one. And seeing this news isn't always easy. My heart, and love go to anyone still there. 'I haven't wanted to hide this from you, but for various reasons and anxieties which I won't go in to now we've wanted to wait a little longer and I hope you can understand that.' 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. Alice continued: 'We're both so excited, and filled with hope and love for our next chapter, and can't wait to take you along with us. I'm due October so the countdown is truly on. 'Big big love and I cannot wait to get back to sharing so much more soon.' Alice was immediately inundated with well-wishes from her celebrity pals, with Vicky Pattison writing: 'Oh wow!!! This is incredible news congratulations ♥️'. while Boris Johnson's wife Carrie commented: 'Oh I'm so so so pleased for you Alice ❤️'. Katie Piper added: 'Huge congratulations so happy for you ❤️'; as Kirsty Gallagher penned: 'Congratulations lovely news ❤️' and Frida Redknapp commented: 'Wonderful and exciting news.' Alice's joyous news comes after she concerned fans by revealing that she was rushed to A&E after a routine GP check-up. The blogger, who rose to fame with her Alice-with-the-abs persona, took to Instagram Story last week to share the health update with fans. Alice revealed she had been taking to Accident and Emergency after a mystery ailment arose during a routine appointment. Sharing a snap from her hospital bed with a cannula in her arm, Alice wrote: 'What a weird old day. Routine GP appointment turned a quick trip to A&E. The NHS is amazing and I'm always in awe of everyone who keeps it running.' Alice added with another selfie: 'Not the dramatic day I was expecting, but also makes you 10x more grateful for everything.' Sharing that she had since been discharged, Alice posted a photo of lunch of anchovies, dill and caper on toast with the caption: 'Home and grateful for health.' But on Tuesday, Alice said the 'saga' was continuing as doctors were unsure what was wrong with her - but assured fans it wasn't life-threatening. 'The saga continues today because basically they're not quite sure what's going on,' she said. 'At some point I'll obviously talk about it all, but only when I've actually got a clue what the situation is. 'Anyway, it's not crazily dramatic or life-threatening so I'm fine. I'm just obviously worried and want some answers.' Getting candid about her health last year with The Sunday Times, she reflected on her previous 'Alice-with-the-abs' persona, which saw her front her Instagram content with a muscular yet tiny frame. But Alice revealed that her weight dropped so low, her periods stopped. Despite becoming a hugely successful cookbook author and receiving publishing deals that celebrity chefs would envy, Alice has revealed that her dedication to so-called 'clean eating'; left her sleeping badly, with thinning hair and 'terrible' skin. She has revealed she was 25 years old and had just met her now-husband Paddy when she visited a fertility specialist to find out why her periods had stopped; but she was shocked by the doctor's assessment. 'She told me, "You're not eating enough and doing too much exercise, your body is in a state of stress and if you carry on you won't be able to have children." Those words changed my life,' Alice said. But on Tuesday, Alice said the 'saga' was continuing as doctors were unsure what was wrong with her - but assured fans it wasn't life-threatening Following the news she might struggle to conceive, Alice began following a programme to gain 10kg which saw her exercising less and eating more. However, as she slowly put on weight, the influencer has revealed she struggled to always stick to the programme and fell back into 'bad behaviours' from time to time. As she changed her life, so too did her career, and Alice dropped 'Clean Eating' from her Instagram title in 2017. Now Alice's page is full off encouraging images of a woman of a healthy weight encouraging others to improve their strength and fuel their bodies accordingly. She has just penned her newest book, Give Me Strength (which is also the name of her fitness app) but has revealed the process of writing it was 'painful'. Alice said: 'I bear a lot of responsibility for perpetuating a potentially damaging narrative.' She added she didn't realise what she was doing was 'wrong' but added she can now 'own her mistakes'. Looking back on her life as Clean Eating Alice, the influencer revealed she was often exhausted and in private, avoided social events that involved food or made excuses about having already eaten when she did attend dinners. Despite this, Alice would pretend differently online and sometimes posted snaps of enjoying pizza with her friends on Instagram (even though she had ordered a salad for dinner). 'That's the bit I feel guiltiest about — I was lying, being disingenuous,' she said, adding that her previous Instagram life was 'smoke and mirrors'. The influencer tracks her issues with food back to being a student at theatre school. After a year of boozing and eating junk food, as many students do, Alice claims one of her tutors told her she should be 'conscious of her body' if she ever wanted to pursue showbusiness seriously. The words clearly stung as Alice took a personal training course, began dieting, and dropped from a size 12 to a size 8 within months. She opened her Instagram account alongside her body transformation and it rapidly gained several thousands of followers. At 22, and, in her words, with 'no qualifications to write a book', she was offered 'life changing money' to author books on clean eating and weight loss. Now, as Alice embarks upon a new mission encouraging people to be healthy rather than to 'eat clean' she has suggested that some people within the 'fitspo' community are struggling with the same food issues she once had to deal with. However for Alice herself, she finds 'joy' in both life and food.

Katie Piper reveals dine and dash date left her with £740 restaurant tab after doing a runner
Katie Piper has revealed a date once left her with a £740 restaurant tab after running off due to her facial disfigurement. The British author and TV presenter, 41, was the victim of a horrific acid attack set up by her ex-boyfriend when she was 24 - leaving her with severe scarring to her face, neck, chest, arms and hands. Speaking at the Hay Festival, Piper recalled the shocking moment a man she had met in a bar invited her to the famously expensive Japanese restaurant Nobu in central London, before doing a runner. 'We'd met on a night out. I'd had pioneering treatment with incredible results, so when I would go out somewhere with dark lighting, where people were very drunk, often they weren't able to see what I fully looked like,' she said. 'So I met this guy and we messaged for quite a long time. He suggested we go out for dinner. I hated going out for dinner because I had a lot of oesophageal damage and often I'd choke when I ate, so the whole idea of eating in front of someone on a first date was nerve-wracking, but I agreed.' The date took place in summer so it was daylight, the star said, and she realised straight away the man had not realised she had a facial disfigurement when first meeting her in the bar. The date had chosen the dinner location and ordered a three-course meal, Piper added. 'He said, ''I've seen some people I know over there, I'm going to go and say hi to them and I'll be back''. He didn't come back.' Piper, now happily married and a mother-of-two, said she ran through 'ridiculous excuses' as she sat at the table, considering if the man might have suddenly become ill. She didn't have a lot of money at the time - living on disability benefit after the attack - but ended up paying the £740 bill on her own. Shockingly, Piper said the man got back in touch with her years later after seeing her on Strictly Come Dancing, not to offer an apology but to joke: 'We must catch up!' The mother said she wishes she had replied with a more assertive response but simply replied: 'Lol yeah, let's do that. Haha.' Since the attack, Piper has been a fierce advocate for the well-being and inclusion of survivors of burns and traumatic scarring. She believes in the importance of improved after-care, rehabilitation, and a world where scars do not hinder a person's quality of life.
