She said: 'Gosh lots of things, but the first thing that comes to my mind is the way he treats everyone... Strangers, friends, family, me, literally everyone.

She wrote: 'London… processing the last few days. The last 2 nights were more than just concerts — they were moments I will never forget. 'There's no way to quite explain how content and how happy I have been feeling personally and professionally. 'I don't feel the need to convince anyone because for the first time since I was 17 I'm not trying to convince myself of that. 'To everyone who has shared kind messages and words of love, I see you all and I feel you all. Thank you for opening your hearts and supporting mine. Means the absolute world to me, the concerts…. hearing you sing, seeing you dance/jump around, crying together, it all means so much and hits deeper and deeper every time.' She concluded: 'I'm so excited to be able to do this all summer on tour, gosh gonna be a beautiful time. Hopefully see you there:) just a lil post dump of a beautiful first 3 days I've had in London. Perfect time with perfect people in a perfect place'. The Dance Moms star also shared a glimpse into her chilled date night in with Chris as he cooked for her at his home.

In another post, JoJo shared a series of pictures from her tour dates as she revealed it is the first time in five years that she is 'not trying to convince herself' that she is happy in her 'personal and professional' life It comes after Chris revealed his relationship status with JoJo , after the singer confirmed their romance with a sweet on-stage tribute. The ITV star had a simple one-word answer when asked whether he and JoJo were in a relationship. The presenter answered: 'Happy. That's my relationship status - happy. Yeah, I'm just happy that's good. I'm happy with that.' However despite the guarded answer, Chris still gushes about his close relationship with JoJo, admitting she's become his 'favourite topic of conversation.' He said: 'She's just just my favourite human and somebody I can literally talk about relentlessly.' Chris, who recorded the Q&A three days before he and JoJo were reunited on Sunday, also said he was 'missing her' and was struggling with 'separate anxiety' after flying back to the UK following a week with her and her family in the US. On Wednesday, JoJo took to Instagram to emotionally reflect on her London shows, admitting she has never felt so 'content and happy,' and described her first few days in the UK as 'the perfect time with perfect people in a perfect place.' Her post included a slew of snaps from her performance, including a sweet image that showed herself and Chris embracing backstage. She captioned her post: 'London… processing the last few days. The last 2 nights were more than just concerts — they were moments I will never forget. 'There's no way to quite explain how content and how happy I have been feeling personally and professionally. 'I don't feel the need to convince anyone because for the first time since I was 17 I'm not trying to convince myself of that.

I'm so excited to be able to do this all summer on tour, gosh gonna be a beautiful time. Hopefully see you there:) 'Just a lil post dump of a beautiful first 3 days I've had in London. Perfect time with perfect people in a perfect place.' JoJo then shared a snap on her Stories that showed she'd spent the evening with Chris at his home, after he cooked dinner for them. During her performance in London on Tuesday, JoJo appeared to confirm their friendship with Chris had blossomed into romance, before breaking down in tears as she told fans she feels 'incredibly loved.' The star once again performed her cover of Bette Davies' Eyes, and changed the end of the song's lyrics to sing ' Chris Hughes ' Eyes.' Admitting she'd changed the end of the song because it made her 'happy,' she added: 'I'll tell you this much, if it's not obvious, that ending lyric is very much true,' sparking a huge cheer from the fans in attendance. Chris had attended JoJo's first show in London the previous night, but the star admitted he couldn't attend Tuesday's performance. So instead, the dancer revealed she'd brought along the orange beanie he'd given her while in the house, after she caught Christopher singing one of her hits while she was still asleep. She told the audience: 'This morning I woke up and all I heard was [sings Nobody Can Change me] he was singing, so I figured today I'd bring a little bit of him while I sing this next song.' As the show came to a close, JoJo then broke down in tears at the crowd's reception, and emotionally told her fans that after once feeling she was 'one of the most hated people in the world,' she feels 'so special and so loved.' She said: 'London can I just say, as Joelle a very serious thank you I'm going to take my last two minutes to get a little deep with you all. 'I've gone through a lot of phases in my life, it's crazy what I'm about to say out loud. 'Since I was nine, I've gone through phases of my life where, at times, I have been one of the most hated people in the world. 'I'm not asking for sympathy, it's OK, but I've been hanging onto things that are out of my control. 'It was really really bad when I was 14. But, right now, personally and professionally I feel incredibly loved. 'And it just, nights like this, I don't cry that often, nights like this it just it really hit me, and I can be up here an sing my songs and commit to the bit, but I just want you to know inside my heart is smiling. 'And I feel like, I just feel so grateful because in my life right now, in roms like this and at home I feel so loved and I feel so special. 'I wanna take a second, and remind everybody if you're doing through a hard time, I promise it gets good, just keep pushing troops.' The previous evening, Chris was filmed beaming at JoJo and blowing her a kiss as she performed her on-stage tribute to him. The Dance Moms star then revealed a rhinestone-covered Sunderland football shirt, the team Chris supports, after they were promoted to the Premier League on Saturday, telling the crowd: 'This is for somebody special who's here tonight.' The pair were then spotted leaving the venue together, with Chris going onto share a cosy snap of himself and JoJo cuddling in bed watching Dumb and Dumber. Despite frenzied speculation around her relationship with Chris, JoJo was noticeably coy when grilled about their bond in Monday's Lorraine. Lorraine's step-in host Andi Peters asked the star if they have had a chat, similar to how they do in Love Island, to make themselves 'exclusive'. JoJo laughed at the question and said: 'Chris and I have had a lot of chats. 'We've never gone into the kitchen and the head is turning, we've never had that version. He's the best man.' JoJo and Chris were reunited on Sunday when she jetted to the UK, with the former Love Island seen waiting to greet her with a bouquet of roses. 'I will say he is up there as 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 a really good one who has been the most incredible addition to my life,' JoJo gushed. Over the weekend JoJo revealed she was missing Chris - just days after the couple were spotted sharing a kiss during a romantic, adults-only getaway in Mexico. The American dancer shared a cosy black-and-white photo of the pair strolling along a street together, with Chris wrapping one arm around her shoulder. Posting the photo to her Instagram Stories, she captioned it: 'Just a lil longer' alongside a love heart emoji. Last week, the pair appeared to 'confirm' their romance after jetting to Florida with JoJo's family to celebrate her 22nd birthday, as they were spotted kissing in a swimming pool. It comes after on Saturday JoJo's love life took a surprising new direction as she reportedly believes Chris is 'the one' and sees a long-term future with him. A source exclusively told that JoJo believes Chris would make 'a tremendous father.' JoJo - who recently declared she no longer identifies as a lesbian - is 'telling people that Chris is The One in a dramatic twist in the way she has lived her life over the last few years,' the insider said. 'She feels more alive than she ever has been with anyone else. With Chris, she realized that this is exactly what she has wanted for so long.' The insider confirmed the romance, stating: 'The rumours are true, they are a thing and it is going very well.' More than just a fleeting romance, JoJo sees a long-term future with the reality star. 'Another thing she has wanted for so long is children. And she feels that Chris would be a tremendous father if they decided to go down that route.' The source added, 'Things are happening at a breakneck pace to the outside eye, but to them it is going at a pace that feels absolutely right.' Earlier this week the pair couldn't keep their hands off each other in new snaps uploaded by the singer - after 'confirming' that they are together with a kissing pool snap. On Wednesday, JoJo shared intimate snaps with Chris to her Instagram page as they spent time together on her special day. He treated her to a mountain of birthday presents, they enjoyed breakfast together on the morning of her big day and one snap even showed Chris with his hand high up on JoJo's leg. She penned in the caption: 'This years birthday week was more magical than anything! 'Full of surprises, family time, performing, chilling, laughing, loving, smiling, and good meaningful cries. 'Absolutely beautiful, wouldn't change a single thing, a week I'll remember for the rest of my life.'
