JoJo Siwa offers glimpse inside romantic cottage staycation with Chris Hughes
JoJo Siwa's relationship with Chris Hughes is only going from strength to strength, with the lovebirds enjoying a staycation in the Cotswolds this week. The Dance Moms alum, 22, met Love Island star Chris, 32, in the Celebrity Big Brother house, both making it to the final before Jack P. Shepherd was crowned winner. Their closeness was one of the biggest talking points of the series, as they were frequently seen snuggling in bed and sharing intimate conversations. While both parties maintained their bond was merely 'platonic' for a while, something shifted post-CBB, with JoJo ending things with partner Kath Ebbs, 27, at the wrap party and spending more time with Chris, who even flew to Mexico for her. And now that they have finally explicitly confirmed that they are, indeed, in a romantic relationship, it appears JoJo and Chris are keen to show it off. This week, the pair switched off from their hectic schedules and retreated to the countryside. Wake up to find news on your TV shows in your inbox every morning with Metro's TV Newsletter. Sign up to our newsletter and then select your show in the link we'll send you so we can get TV news tailored to you. Taking to Instagram with a round-up of their getaway, JoJo posted a series of sweet pics to her 11.3million followers. 'Nothing beats wholesome & pure days like these', her caption began. She proceeded to detail each photo, with the first image showing Chris lifting her up and throwing her over his shoulder. 'Christopher being Christopher', she jokingly described it. Further pics included them shopping for sweets for her to take home to relatives across the pond and JoJo making tea inside their cottage. They also strolled hand-in-hand to greet the horses at the stables before riding, and tucked into a full English breakfast spread. JoJo's last photo was of her hand holding Chris's tightly. Describing the close-up romantic shot, she wrote: 'The one thing that can make everything better 🤍' The post quickly garnered thousands of likes, with fans flocking to the comments as they adjust to the 180 her life has taken since entering the doors of the CBB abode. 'Seeing Jojo in a UK kitchen is so strange and wholesome, I love it!!!! ❤️', commented @hollyr1991. 'I'm so happy that you are happy, that you are going on adventures of your choosing and thriving. You have given us so much joy, the least we can do is root for you with our whole hearts', wrote @sithprincessanakin. Also showing their approval, @krista93x said: 'You can tell how safe you feel in the UK around Christopher. We love this for you Joelle ❤️' 'Come to U.K. permanently pls, we need more jojo ❤️', begged @abbyyrose07. To view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to a web browser that supports HTML5 video TV star Chris took to his own social media with snapshots from the trip, one being himself and JoJo smiling alongside a horse. 'Missed the countryside, happy faces all round', he wrote. Their lovey-dovey posts come after JoJo announced that not only were they officially dating, but she's also calling Chris her boyfriend. During an interview with Capital FM this week, the Karma hitmaker said: 'I'm sure it's no secret to people, I am in a lovely relationship with a sweet boy named Christopher Hughes.' She also previously opened up to The Guardian about Chris, confessing: 'It's not platonic anymore, and it's been a beautiful development, a beautiful connection, and I'm absolutely head over heels for him and he's the same way.' JoJo was also keen to silence critics of their romance, particularly those accusing them of using it as a PR stunt. 'Clearly, you've never been around us,' she hit back. 'I won't ever speak for him, but for me personally, the happiness in my life just radiates off of me right now. 'Literally yesterday, I was massaging my cheeks; I've never [before] been in pain from smiling so much.' As for Chris, he has repeatedly played coy when quizzed on his blossoming romance with JoJo, but recently declared that his relationship status is 'happy'. He's also getting on with JoJo's parents like a house on fire, as she has shared Chris is 'best friends' with her dad in particular. Asked by fans during a Q&A at a dance class in London earlier this week when the switched flipped from friendship to something more, JoJo admitted that not knowing is one of her 'biggest frustrations' in life right now.

I don't know the moment that it [clicks fingers].' More Trending She added: 'It was never like a light switch happened; it was just… You know what I mean? And so I genuinely don't know! It's serendipity!' Regardless, she maintains that she is 'very, very happy where [they] are currently'. 'I mean I literally smile every single second of every single day now.' Got a story?

New Doctor Who rumours have fans worried show is 'out of ideas'
Fans of Doctor Who have shared their concern that the beloved BBC show is 'running out of ideas' following a new rumour that former Time Lord David Tennant is set to reprise his role on the show. As its two-part series finale concluded last week, The Doctor (Ncuti Gatwa) sparked a shock regeneration while tapping into the heart of the TARDIS to shift reality itself. In doing so, he succeeded in saving Space Baby Poppy, pulling her into a reality where Belinda Chandra (Varada Sethu) had always been her mother. However, this use of his Time Lord energy came at a cost – and, after bidding farewell to Belinda, the Doctor began to regenerate into his Sixteenth form. (Re)enter Billie Piper, whose face replaced Ncuti's in a blast of regeneration energy. 'Oh hello,' grinned the one-time Rose Tyler as the end credits rolled, seemingly taking his place as the Sixteenth Doctor. Wake up to find news on your TV shows in your inbox every morning with Metro's TV Newsletter. Sign up to our newsletter and then select your show in the link we'll send you so we can get TV news tailored to you. But is all as it seems? As speculation blazes on that this new 'Doctor' may not be all she seems, another rumoured return has fans worried that the show is becoming far too reliant on its own past. In a rumour reported by The Sun, Billie's casting is set to facilitate a return from another face from recent history – former Tenth Doctor David. 'There is talk about a possible one-off project to celebrate the 20th anniversary. David and Billie were a hugely popular partnership and he brought in a golden age of Doctor Who,' an insider told the tabloid. 'With the anniversary of the reboot this year, there have been some ideas floated about, with the thought of maybe bringing David and Billie back together for one last hurrah.' If (and it's a big if!) true, this would be the third time David has returned to the role since his exit in 2010. Following a crossover episode with Matt Smith in 2013, David officially regenerated back into himself in 2023, becoming the Fourteenth Doctor for three special episodes. Reacting to this speculative news on X, fans shared their fears for the show's future, with IanOTimelord writing: 'No, no, no. [series showrunner Russell T Davies] needs to go if true. He's run out of ideas. The brand is wounded.' 'The current show runners appear to have run out of ideas then?' said Squarepush33279. 'I wish the good writers made a comeback' joked and_catch_fire. 'Russell needs to move on!' exclaimed CHG3899. With Doctor Who's return date yet to be confirmed by either the BBC or its overlords at Disney, it remains unknown why Billie is back… or who she's really playing. In the end credits to Saturday's episode, both Ncuti and Thirteenth Doctor Jodie Whittaker were given their formal title, while Billie got a more cryptic 'introducing' credit. This has led to speculation that she may not be playing The Doctor at all… which is possibly for the best, if previous statements are anything to go by. 'I don't think the Doctor should be a woman,' she told HELLO! back in 2009. She added: 'Forgive me, I know it's not a feminist thing to say, but it's like saying, 'Let's make James Bond a woman'. It's a man's role.' Thankfully, she changed her tune eight years later, just in time for Jodie to take on the role. 'I think it would be great [to have a female Doctor] given the spirit of the world at the moment. I think it would be timely,' Billie said. A popular fan theory suggests that Billie/Rose's return to Doctor Who may have something to do with the 2005 episode The Parting of the Ways. In the series finale's climax, Rose unleashed the heart of the TARDIS to save the universe from Dalek extermination. With the energy she had absorbed set to kill Rose, The Doctor (played by Christopher Eccleston) took it into himself – causing his regeneration into David Tennant. Rose and her new Doctor quickly hit it off, sparking a romance between the Time Lord and his companion which was cut short when she became trapped in an alternate reality with only her mum and the Doctor's Meta-Crisis doppelganger for company. Since then, she has returned to the franchise for three spin-off audio adventures, as well as a surprise cameo (but not as Rose!) in 2013's Day of The Doctor crossover. Our Deputy TV Editor Tom Percival shares his thoughts… While David Tennant has shown an impressive dedication to Doctor Who (returning not once but twice), an imminent return seems unlikely. The Rivals star has been pretty emphatic that after the 60th anniversary, he's keen to take a break from the show, and to be honest, I think that's the right attitude. One of the big issues with the series in recent years is its reliance on nostalgia. With that in mind, I fear bringing him back for a third time risks making Doctor Who into the David Tennant show and robbing the series of its identity. As the 11th Doctor once said, 'We all change when you think about it… And that's okay, that's good. You've got to keep moving.' This has led some to wonder whether the events of The Parting of the Ways are still in play, leading to some residual 'Bad Wolf' energy in Ncuti's surprise regeneration. Billie herself has kept quiet on the specifics, instead celebrating her return to the franchise with a post on Instagram. More Trending 'A rose is a rose is a rose !!!' she wrote as she posted a series of pictures to her account – including snaps of herself as Rose Tyler. She then signed off with a cartoon wolf hidden among two rose emojis. Might this comment hint at her character's true nature? Only time will tell.

We tried the new Edinburgh Gordon Ramsay Sunday menu and had some thoughts
Our community members are treated to special offers, promotions and adverts from us and our partners. You can check out at any time. More info Edinburgh has countless world-class restaurants offering food for any craving you might need to satisfy, but sometimes the thing you want most is a classic Sunday roast. A good roast is homey and familiar yet still manages to surprise you with new flavours or a fresh twist on the classic meal. For a top notch Sunday roast, look no further than Gordon Ramsay's Bread Street Kitchen and Bar. Nestled at 4 St Andrew Square beside Dishoom, the centre city eatery is now a staple of Edinburgh's fine dining portfolio, offering a gourmet menu with the best of British traditional cuisine. Founded in 1998, Gordon Ramsay Restaurants operates nearly 40 locations nationwide and approximately 100 globally. The chain recently launched a brand new Sunday set menu so I went down to St Andrew Square on a Sunday evening for a taste of their roast. The new set menu comes with the option of two courses for £35 per person or three courses for £40 per person. This will leave something of a dent in your wallet, but rest assured the portions were generous and the quality was well worth the price, especially if you opt to throw in five quid extra for another course. As a vegetarian, I admit the menu shrinks considerably, but the meatless options left me satisfied and are suitable even for pickier eaters. (Image: Edinburgh Live) For a starter I ordered the the red pepper gazpacho. Presentation was tidy and colourful. The chilled soup was exactly what you want from a gazpacho - light, refreshing, and herby. It carried a heavy garlic punch that balanced with the blended red peppers. When my main dish arrived I posed for an obligatory photo shoot to the chagrin of surrounding diners. I ordered the one vegetarian offering on the Sunday set menu: the celeriac Wellington. I'll admit the celeriac root inside the Wellington shell was an interesting choice. As a vegetarian, I'm familiar with vegetables being disguised as meat in ways that usurp the traditional dish - such as spicy cauliflower wings, or portobello mushroom burgers. I wasn't sure how the celeriac root held up in this regard, being slightly tough in texture. (Image: Edinburgh Live) However, the Wellington shell was stuffed with fragrant chopped mushrooms and the dish was served with heavenly cream sauce that redeemed the off choice of vegetable. It was also accompanied by mash and buttery spinach which allowed for the perfect bite when combined with the Wellington. For meat-eaters, my friend ordered the steak which she demolished in minutes and called "incredible". I didn't try it myself we'll just have to take her word for it. For my final course, I went for another classic with the sticky toffee pudding. This was one of the best sticky toffee puddings I've ever had, which was impressive given that I was already full to the brim and wasn't sure if I could fit dessert. (Image: Edinburgh Live) As a nightcap my guest and I ordered two espresso martinis which arrived with a powdering of cacao powder. They were slightly sweet for my liking but gave a nice kick of caffeine after the big meal. Overall, the meal was a solid Sunday roast. The vibe was fancy yet casual, a good option for a fine dining experience that is more accessible to families and dates. If you're seeking a homey roast for an upscale evening out, the set menu is one to watch. To make a booking, head to the Gordon Ramsay Bread Street Kitchen & Bar website here.
