JoJo Siwa defends sweet Chris Hughes gesture to booing crowd at London gig
JoJo Siwa defended herself at a London gig tonight, when the crowd booed her for a grand gesture she dedicated to Chris Hughes.
Celebrity Big Brother viewers were left with their jaws on the floor during this year's dramatic series when the Dance Moms star, 22, and the Love Island alumni, 32, formed an unlikely, intense friendship.
The series saw them hugging in bed and whispering into the night, with JoJo's partner Kath Ebbs watching the whole saga unfold with the rest of the world on live TV.
The co-stars are rumoured to be an item following JoJo's abrupt split from Kath at the CBB afterparty, and after she and Chris were reportedly snapped kissing during a reunion trip to Mexico.
Now, JoJo has been filmed taking to the stage in London wearing a Sunderland AFC top, which is Chris' team, after they got bumped up into the Premier League for the first time in eight years this weekend.
In a clip posted by PinkNews, Jojo could be seen wearing the bedazzled football shirt.

After being booed by the crowd, JoJo said: 'You might not like it, but he does so just go with it.'
Chris attended the gig with JoJo's parents, according to MailOnline, who also reported she said of the shirt tribute: 'This is for somebody special who's here tonight.'
According to the outlet, she performed a cover of the Kim Carnes hit Bette Davies' Eyes, which was thought to also be a nod to the racing enthusiast after their performance of the song in the Celebrity Big Brother house. https://www.instagram.com/p/DJ4vgpyN4R9/?hl=en&img_index=1
This comes after Chris' ex and former Love Island star Olivia Atwood reacted to the pair's rumoured romance.
TikTok user Cimallow shared a video, saying: 'I'm sorry, I need to know what's Olivia Attwood's reaction to this Chris and JoJo thing.'
They continued: 'What in the Big Brother, Love Island, ITV, Dance Moms is going on, like. This is giving that Suite Life On Deck, like with Hannah Montana.
'I can't stop thinking about it. I feel like going from Olivia Attwood to JoJo Siwa is actually crazy to me.'

Olivia responded with the simple comment: 'She's really famous.'
Actor and presenter Kath Ebbs also seemed to respond to rumours their ex JoJo and Chris were an item, posting on their Instagram Story, 'The only thing I have to say is LOL' after the pair shared pictures together from their Mexico trip.
While neither Chris and JoJo have confirmed their relationship, JoJo was left stumped when asked bluntly if he was her boyfriend during an appearance on Lorraine.
Host Andi Peters asked if she had been given the Love Island treatment and pulled into the kitchen to ask if they could be exclusive.
'Christopher and I have had a lot of chats, [but] we've never gone into the kitchen and said, 'My head's not turning any way.' We've never had that portion of a chat,' she responded.

On This Morning, JoJo also said: 'I would say he is up there with one of my favourite people in the entire world. He makes me happier than I think I've ever been. He makes me feel so full as me. He's been a really good one that's been the most incredible addition to my life.'

Love Island: Meet Toni Laites, Who Has Made History As The First US Contestant In The Villa
Summer is here, and with it brings a whole new series of Love Island - and an excuse to stay inside and binge our fave show. This week, we were introduced to the new line-up of singletons who are looking for love, which include former fire breather Sophie Lee, personal trainer Aaron Buckett and Shakira Khan. Love Island producers have hinted that this season will be jam-packed with new twists and turns, and, if this week is anything to go by, they weren't exaggerating. Despite being only a few days into the new series, the villa has already seen the arrival of a new bombshell, Toni Laites. Host Maya Jama teased the arrival of Toni with a promo on social media that showed her receiving a voice note from a mysterious American girl. Now, Toni has entered the villa, becoming the first US contestant to take part in the show. Toni Laites is from Connecticut, and she works as a Las Vegas Pool Cabana Server. Although the show has only just started, Toni has already bought all the drama by becoming the first bombshell to enter the series. Toni is also the first ever American cast member to join the line-up, so we can't wait to see what's in store for the islanders as the dynamics evolve. However, Toni has said she's hoping to come out with friends of course' and doesn't 'want to be super messy' in the villa. She added: 'I guess I'm the party starter, I want everyone to have fun.' Toni Laites has opened up about her work as a Las Vegas Pool Cabana Server, calling it her claim to fame. 'I'm always the number one in sales at both hotels I work at. I'm a workaholic,' she said. 'You have to audition to get the job I've got – over a 1000 people applied. There's only 10 cabana servers!' She continued: 'For the audition they set up a fake pool deck, they tell you to load up trays and zig zag through the chairs. The trays are heavy with pitchers and our large cocktails are really large! I've definitely dropped drinks on people before, but on the whole I'm really good.' Love Island isn't the first time that Toni made headlines. She has ulcerative colitis, which meant she had to go to hospital the same day as her senior prom. 'They told me, 'You can't go' and then they said, 'Surprise, you're going to prom!' Nothing that exciting happens in Connecticut, so it was a big deal and a few articles were written about me,' she said. 'What I hope people see from me being on Love Island is that not all illnesses are visible. It doesn't have to hold you back, you can travel etc…I live my life day-to-day like anyone else.' Toni has described dating in America as a 'mess,' continuing 'I live in cities that are fast-paced and party places; Las Vegas and Florida [..] People are here for a good time, not a long time. I live in Sin City! I do love Las Vegas. I've met some of the greatest people I've ever met there. I'm willing to relocate, it would just break my heart to not have my job anymore.' When asked to describe any of her recent dates, Toni said they've been 'Really terrible.' She continued: 'The last date I went on was rubbish. He brought a friend, so I brought my sister. We said we're going to the bathroom and I blocked him and we ran out of the property. I like to be treated like a lady, going to nice spas in Vegas, being taken to nice restaurants. I'm still waiting to be taken on vacation for a date.' When it comes to her personal preferences, Toni says she wants to date a British guy because she's lived in three different US states and is still single. 'I have some British friends and they're pretty charming,' she said. 'I think all Americans love a good accent. British men are just more polite, with better manners.' At the end of the day, though, she says her requirements for a partner are pretty straight forward. 'Someone that can make me laugh – I'm super outgoing. And someone that's quite active. Maybe one day we could start our own family together,' she said. Yes! You can keep up to date with Toni's life at @tlaites20.

Shakira is slammed by Love Island fans for double standards as she randomly kisses Blu after getting annoyed at Harry for flirting with Helena
Love Island fans were left baffled on Wednesday when Shakira Khan and Blu Chegini unexpectedly kissed in the hideaway at the end of the episode. Tuesday's recoupling saw Shakira choose to couple up with Harry Cooksley, despite Blu and Connor Phillips also showing interest in her. Things took a turn between the pair when Harry had a cheeky chat with Helena Ford, whispering 'hideaway' in the air hostess's ear before putting his hand on her leg - antics which left Shakira furious. However just moments later, Shakira was taken to the Hideaway by Blu where she then shared a sneaky kiss with him. The switch-up baffled viewers, who called Shakira 'hypocritical' for her 'double standards'. 'She is moving mad,' they claimed. 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. Taking to X, formerly Twitter, viewers wrote: 'Shakira doesn't have a right to be mad at Harry when she's talking to Ben and Blu & also kissed Blu, I think she wanted to pick him last night,'; 'Harry inviting Helena to the hideaway, Blu and Shakira kissing in the hideaway after she was mad at Harry for touching Helena …. Omfgggg I LOVEEEEE this mess,'; 'Shakira: It's made me put my guard up. Shakira 10 minutes later.... [kissing gif],'; 'Shakira is mooooving maaad fam,Harry turn your head brudda your ting is eazyyy,'; 'Please I approve what shakira did. she's just a hypocrite for getting upset with Harry. They're not married abeg and Harry ain't it anyway. So let her do her worst,'; 'Shakira you weren't happy about your man flirting but you've gone and gave out two kisses,'; 'Shakira bombshelling more than the actual bombshell dkm,'; 'Shakira did all that crying just to kiss blu in the hideaway…??,'; 'But shakira you was mad at… and now you're… and went back for seconds….?'; 'I like shakira but girl telling Harry he was out of line touching Helegna leg and yours but the going and kissing blu is so shady,'; 'Shakira saying she'd be respectful and then kissing blu in the hideaway. love to see it,'; 'Shakira calling harry disrespectful for holding a leg then happily kissing blu doesn't add up.' Taking to X, formerly Twitter, viewers wrote: 'Shakira doesn't have a right to be mad at Harry when she's talking to Ben and Blu & also kissed Blu, I think she wanted to pick him last night' Love Island fans are set to enjoy the X-rated sex scenes happening in the famous Hideaway for the very first time in five years, according to bosses' comments. 'If sex happens, we'll show it. The Hideaway will be open 24 hours,' Mike Spencer, Love Island's Creative Director said. He added: 'We need to keep the show fresh and exciting. After 10 years, the stats speak for themselves. The show will continue to thrive.' Although the usual play of Love Island is to couple up with one other person from the opposite sex - bosses are hoping for potential throuples in the villa this year as they ' tear up the rule book' and install new furniture to create drama. The Love Island villa was left extremely shaken during Tuesday night's show as Sophie Lee was axed from the show, and two new bombshells arrived. Following the arrival of first bombshell Toni, who surprised the singletons at the close of Monday's episode, Semi pro footballer Shea Mannings and fitness influencer Remell Mullins are the latest arrivals. Following the arrival of first bombshell Toni, Semi pro footballer Shea Mannings (left) and fitness influencer Remell Mullins (right) are the latest arrivals Shea, who is a Scaffolder from Bristol, revealed he has a young son, and he will be taking that 'into consideration' when coupling up. He added: 'She needs to be bubbly and we need to have that initial spark. She needs to have a nice personality - like I think I have - so that we match together.' Meanwhile, Remell is a Self Improvement Content Creator who boasts a massive 18million likes and half a million followers on TikTok. Remell shared he is looking for 'a bubbly, confident, ambitious and fun girl' with 'a nice smile, nice teeth and someone that can keep me on my toes.' When asked where he might be found in the villa in the morning, he replied: 'I might be cooking a nice high protein meal, I might be doing my skincare routine, something to level up.' Sophie Lee NAME: Sophie Lee AGE: 29 FROM: Manchester OCCUPATION: Motivational Speaker and Author WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING FOR? Someone who is fun, spontaneous, who has a lot of jokes and who is attentive. At the moment I'm only finding ones draped in red flags and 'do not cross' signs IF YOU WERE THE CEO OF SOMETHING, WHAT WOULD IT BE? I'm the CEO of empowerment. I want women to feel beautiful and validated in themselves and feel their best self. NAME: Dejon Noel Williams AGE: 26 FROM: London OCCUPATION: Semi-pro footballer and personal trainer WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING FOR? Someone who is beautiful on the inside and out, looks after themselves and is healthy CLAIM TO FAME? My dad being an ex-professional footballer. I've met all kinds of famous people through him. When I was younger it was weird because he was just my dad, but we'd go to a game and fans were asking for photos. I've met David Beckham, he was really nice. Megan Moore NAME: Megan Moore AGE: 25 FROM: Southampton OCCUPATION: Payroll specialist WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING FOR? I'd like to meet someone who is tall, with a nice tan, nice eyes and a nice smile. He needs to have a good fashion sense and a really good, funny personality that I can get on with HOW WOULD YOU DESCRIBE YOUR LOVE LIFE? Bankrupt, right now. But we're going to make sales and get on that corporate ladder and be booming. Profits, profits, profits! NAME: Tommy Bradley AGE: 22 FROM: Hertfordshire OCCUPATION: Landscape Gardener WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING FOR? A girl who is very ambitious, with a big personality, caring, but also someone that doesn't take themselves too seriously. I don't know if that's asking for too much, but I want a bit of everything.

Taking hours to do my hair NAME: Alima Gagio AGE: 23 FROM: Glasgow OCCUPATION: Wealth Management Client Services Executive WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING FOR? A tall man with a handsome face. You know when you just look at a guy and they have that Disney prince look to them? That's it WOULD MAYA HIRE YOU FOR YOUR FLIRTING SKILLS? I think she'd hire me because I'm a good flirt. I always ask guys on a night out to guess which country I'm originally from. If they get it right, they can get my number. But they never guess correctly so it works really well if you don't want to give a guy your number. I'm originally from Guinea Bissau. If they're close and I really fancy them, I'll give them my number anyway. NAME: Ben Holbrough AGE: 23 FROM: Gloucester OCCUPATION: Private Hire Taxi driver WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING FOR?

That's exactly why I'm here. NAME: Helena Ford AGE: 29 FROM: London OCCUPATION: Cabin Crew WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING FOR? Somebody funny or Northern. I feel like Northern people have much more banter than Southerners. If you look through my previous dating history, you'll see I clearly go for personality. You can pretty much laugh me into bed. WOULD MAYA HIRE YOU FOR YOUR FLIRTING SKILLS? I would say hire but then quickly fire soon after. It would only be a temporary contract. NAME: Megan Forte Clarke AGE: 24 FROM: Dublin OCCUPATION: Musical theatre performer and energy broker WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING FOR? Someone who doesn't take themselves too seriously and has a sense of humour. If they're not bad looking, that's always a plus. I love a boy that's a bit pasty, like Timothée Chalamet. I don't mind scrawny, or a bit of a 'dad bod'. I'm 5ft1 so any height really. CLAIM TO FAME? Me and my friends made a Derry Girls TikTok for Halloween and it went a bit viral around Brighton. Sometimes I get stopped in the street about it. I've also done Panto. NAME: Blu Chegini AGE: 26 FROM: London OCCUPATION: Construction Project Manager WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING FOR? Someone who is family oriented, has a lot of love to give and a lot of love to receive. Personality goes a long way. WOULD MAYA HIRE YOU FOR YOUR FLIRTING SKILLS?

Shakira Khan NAME: Shakira Khan AGE: 26 FROM: London OCCUPATION: Construction Project Manager WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING FOR? Someone who is tall, charming, witty, with big arms, a good smile and just really funny. HOW WOULD YOU DESCRIBE YOUR LOVE LIFE? Booming, but they're all frogs.

I like dark eyes and I don't mind a dominant woman. WOULD MAYA HIRE YOU FOR YOUR FLIRTING SKILLS? Definitely hire. I ask girls if they want to go halves on a baby. It doesn't work, but it gets them laughing. It's an ice-breaker, not a serious question of course! NAME: Toni Laites AGE: 24 FROM: Connecticut OCCUPATION: Las Vegas Pool Cabana Server WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING FOR? I'm looking for darker hair, definitely muscular but not too muscular. Super fit. Clean hair cut. Someone that can make me laugh - I'm super outgoing. And someone that's quite active. Maybe one day we could start our own family together. I WANT TO DATE A BRITISH GUY BECAUSE...
