Since leaving the house, they have been seen together and recently shared photographs of them together on Instagram, suggesting they are in a relationship.
‌
Siwa, 22, told Channel 4's Sunday Brunch: "She (Siwa's mother) does love him. My parents think the absolute world of him and him and my dad are like best friends.
"Chris was actually telling me that yesterday they went to the spa together. They're literally best friends.
"Mum, she absolutely adores him. I love watching her watch us because I've never seen my mum so happy.

"It feels like we're a family. It feels like he's been in my family for however many years. It feels like they just all get along as well as I do.
"I think there will definitely be a lot more time spent here, and I think from him as well, a lot more time spent over there, but we both have families, you know, on either end."
The 22-year old singer is known for her songs Karma and Guilty Pleasure, which she released in 2024, while sports presenter Hughes, 32, appeared on the third season of the ITV reality TV series Love Island.

Speaking about her decision to join Celebrity Big Brother, she said: "I didn't even question a yes or no. I knew it wasn't even a question. It was an immediate yes.
"I think for me, growing up on reality TV, it almost feels like a little bit of home to me, and it just feels like it's just fun.
"And right before I went in, I told my mom, I was like, I think this is gonna be the best thing I've ever done. And she's like, what do you mean? And I was like, I don't know, something tells me, like for my personal, like for my life, it feels like it's gonna be the best thing I've ever done and by a landslide it has been.
