The pop star, 22, who recently performed two shows in London, beamed with happiness as Chris, 32, wrapped his arm around her. 6 6 6 6 The happy couple were enjoying a meal with their family and friends and posed for a photo which showed them cosying up together. The lovely snap comes after the pair drove fans wild with an intimate backstage moment in a post to TikTok. JoJo gave fans an inside look into her pre-show routine and was seen in the video warming up and spending time with her dancers. Later, the pair were hugging each other, holding hands and putting bracelets on each other. Former Love Islander Chris also learnt her hit song Karma and is videoed singing the lyrics alongside her. JoJo also sent fans wild at her recent London gigs this week after she told them onstage she had 'never felt so special and so loved'. She also went on to change the lyrics of Bette Davis Eyes to ' Chris Hughes' eyes' as he looked on, giddy and red-faced at a music venue in Shoreditch. Chris could not attend the second of her two-night run there — but JoJo didn't miss her moment to shout out to him, singing to his orange beanie which she had placed in the crowd. It comes after Chris made the 12-hour flight from the UK to Mexico to support JoJo as she performed to fans in Mexico City. He later posted cosy snaps of them together online.

When JoJo later returned to London the pair had a emotional reunion at Heathrow airport as JoJo flew in from Los Angeles — Chris greeting her with a large bouquet of red roses. The two have set tongues wagging ever since getting close while competing on this year's series of Celebrity Big Brother and have been crossing oceans to spend time together since the show ended. However, earlier this week, Chris gushed about his "favourite person," JoJo as they enjoyed a cozy home dinner that he cooked for her. Chris opened up about his relationship with the US pop star, as they appeared to confirm their loved-up status. After doing two gigs in London, JoJo headed to Chris' property in Surrey where he whipped her up a scrumptious dinner. "Back cooking," Chris wrote on his Instagram stories over a photo of ingredients including flour, chicken stock and parmigiana cheese. He cooked a creamy chicken dish and his next slide showed the "empty plates" of the satisfied JoJo who'd consumed his meal. Before their cozy dinner together, Chris gave plenty of details about his relationship with JoJo, including how he had "stomach rumbles" due to his "separation anxiety" from being away from the singer. 6 6

Justin Bieber Dragged For Saying He Would Have 'Got Rid' Of Wife Hailey If She Wasn't 'Hot' In Resurfaced Clip
Hailey Bieber's fans are furious at her husband, Justin Bieber, over a resurfaced video in which he made "disgusting" comments about her. The pop star also garnered the ire of fans after he admitted that he once told her that she'd never land a Vogue magazine cover during an argument. Hailey Bieber recently sold her Rhode Beauty line for $1 billion, and Justin Bieber opted not to share any comments regarding her business achievement, likely due to recent backlash over the Vogue cover. Justin continues to receive backlash over his actions towards his wife, with the latest incident stemming from a resurfaced video showing him making "disgusting" comments about her body. The couple tied the knot in 2018 and welcomed their son, Jack Blues, in August of last year, but their relationship has been plagued by rumors of marital discord and potential split amid Justin's recent controversial actions. In the video, Hailey and Justin are sitting in a car as the "Baby" singer faces the camera, and jokingly calls her "clueless," noting that he only listens to her because she's his wife. "If you weren't so hot, I would've gotten rid of you a long time ago," he added, prompting Hailey to say, "Oh, too bad for you." Fans of the businesswoman on social media were furious over the comments, as some tagged them "inappropriate." "Justin, that is a RUDE and DISGUSTING thing to say to your wife. You aren't hot, btw. Disrespect a woman like that? Red flag," a fan wrote. Another fan said that what Justin told Hailey was "a crazy thing to say to your gf/fiance/wife." A third person noted, "No words. That man would never see me again, or he would never see the light of day again." "She gets treated this way by her husband AND gets the worst internet hate I would have SNAPPED," another X user said of the old video. One more person commented, "I don't particularly care for Hailey, but she deserves so much f-cking better than him, oh my God." The unearthed clip comes after Justin faced backlash for sharing that he told Hailey she would never be on the cover of Vogue. The 28-year-old had just graced the cover of Vogue Magazine and was in celebratory mode, but was overshadowed by Justin's controversial comment, which was meant to celebrate her. In his post, the singer explained why Hailey's appearance on the cover of the prestigious fashion publication was a full-circle moment for him. "Yo this reminds me when Hailey and I got into a huge fight. I told Hails that she would never be on the cover of Vogue," Justin said. "Yikes, I know, so mean. For some reason, because I felt so disrespected, I thought I gotta get even." He continued, "Think as we mature, we realize that we're not helping anything by getting even... we're honestly just prolonging what we really want, which is intimacy and connection." Justin concluded his post by writing a message directly to Hailey, which read: "So baby u already know but forgive me for saying u wouldn't get a Vogue cover cuz clearly I was sadly mistaken." Hailey scored a major win on Wednesday when she sold her Rhode beauty brand for $1 billion. She took to her Instagram account to make the announcement, noting that she'll now serve as the company's founder, Chief Creative Officer, and Head of Innovation following its sale. In her post, she made no mention of Justin but thanked her "amazing Rhode team" as well as her "Rhode community. After her announcement, she was seen arriving at West Hollywood restaurant Alba on Wednesday to celebrate the success, but was without the company of her husband. Justin also raised eyebrows when he reposted the announcement to his Instagram account, but declined to write anything in the caption, nor did he praise her for the feat. He additionally uploaded a separate carousel of images that showed them cozying up together. Hailey's career milestone came after an insider shared growing concern over the state of their marriage. One of the sources alleged that the tension between the duo has increased exponentially in the wake of the singer showcasing several questionable behaviors on social media and in public. "I don't know how long they will be together or if they'll wait until things explode, but the situation is getting more unbearable week after week," the insider told The Sun. Although all of this tension isn't apparent when the couple is out in public, they reportedly "avoid being in the same room" when they are at home. "Then they also travel a lot separately," the insider added about the couple who tied the knot in 2018. "They mostly do their own thing when they have time off. The situation is explosive."

Miley Cyrus reveals she got down and dirty on the Hollywood Walk of Fame while filming secret music video for her new album Something Beautiful
She's one of the biggest popstars in the world. But even Miley Cyrus isn't afraid to get down and dirty, quite literally, as she revealed the behind the scene secrets on filming her latest music video for her track Walk Of Fame. The Flowers hitmaker, 32, filmed on the filthy and famous Hollywood Walk of Fame in the middle of the night and has admitted she was left 'completely covered in, I don't even know what.' Appearing on Jimmy Hill's Capital Show on Thursday evening, Jimmy expressed his worry as he said: 'Something slightly concerned me, though, Miley, that I've got to bring up, track nine, a song called Walk of Fame. 'You're rolling around on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. And if you don't know, it's quite a dirty street, did they wash it down for you first? Was it sanitised?' 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. Confirming she received no special treatment, Miley said: 'They did not. And actually, I had to keep wiping my hands clean because every time I would go like this, you would see that they were completely covered in, I don't even know what. Don't think about it. She also revealed they had to film in the middle of the night to avoid attracting attention. 'We had to shoot it, kind of like very on the fly, because we shot it at about three o'clock in the morning. 'The whole song is about not being able to kind of walk down the street and in this anonymous way. So how could I ever do that in what I'm wearing with music blaring? 'So we had to go when there was very little people out on the street. So we shot that in the middle of the night. And as if you've been to the Walk of Fame, it's not the greatest place in the middle of the night.' Jimmy joked: 'No, I love the idea of somebody driving past and then telling their friends afterwards,'I saw Miley Cyrus rolling around on the street at three in the morning' because nobody would ever believe that.' Miley added: 'That definitely happened. And I'm happy there was no crashes because there was a lot of people driving by and looking out their window going, 'am I seeing what I think I'm seeing?' 'But yeah, once I got up off the ground, my executive producer of this album, he goes, 'Wow, you were really going for it. That's kind of gross.' 'I didn't even really think about it being gross, because you're doing anything for the bit at that time. And if he tells you, it's gross, it's actually gross.' It comes after Miley revealed the shoot even led to a 'brutal knee infection' as she opened up about health complications while on Jimmy Kimmel earlier this week. 'I filmed this video in October, and by November, at Thanksgiving, I was put in ICU (intensive care unit), for a moment, just for a moment. 'But it's mostly because it was Thanksgiving. There was a lot of people in the ER (emergency room), you know, people choking on turkey legs or whatever. 'And my leg began to disintegrate within some way around the kneecap area. The doctor goes, "You have any idea why you would have such a brutal infection on your kneecap?" And I just saw myself' she said while mimicking dance moves from the video. 'And I had to tell him. And to have a surgeon look at you and say, "Yuck".. They open up like cadavers, like they see inside the guts of humans, and they're looking at me, telling me I'm disgusting.' Miley's ninth studio album Something Beautiful was released on Friday with the film premiering for one night only in the US and Canada on June 12 and June 27 internationally. Listen to The Capital Evening Show with Jimmy Hill on Monday to Thursday from 19:00 - 22:00 across the UK and on Global Player

From Dubai to Eurovision glory: JJ reveals his next big move after contest win
Standing in front of the mirror at home in Dubai and singing Hannah Montana songs, 13-year-old Johannes Pietsch dreamt of one day becoming a pop star. 'I've always believed that you can never dream too big,' Pietsch, now 24, tells The National. 'And that nothing is unreachable.' Better known by his stage name JJ, he realised that dream two weeks ago when he was crowned the 2025 winner of the Eurovision Song Contest. JJ's high-pitched operatic pop number, Wasted Love, had been a bookies' favourite ever since he was named as Austria 's representative in the long-running competition in January. Twenty-six performers – out of an initial 37 – performed in the finals in Basel, Switzerland. Each performer represented a country from the European Broadcasting Union, and contestants were voted through to the finals by television viewers. 'It was a crazy feeling to win for Austria,' JJ says, still on a high from his win. 'It was a really long show and a lot of intense waiting. But when we finally got the points it was euphoric. I was going through a roller coaster of emotions.' The son of an Austrian father and Filipina mother, JJ was born in Vienna, but spent 15 formative years in Dubai where his father ran an IT business, before the family moved back to Austria. 'I had a pretty great childhood in Dubai,' says JJ, who went to the German International School. 'In Dubai we always had the latest in everything, from gadgets to the newest toys – everything that we saw coming from the States [was] in Dubai a week later. 'And I remember how much fun we had as kids. It was so diverse, a lot of different cultures meeting at one place. That was really nice.' It was also in Dubai where JJ's love for music was nurtured. 'We had karaoke parties every weekend at our house and that's where I started singing,' he laughs. 'The first song I learnt to sing was Because of You by Kelly Clarkson. 'And my dad was a big fan of classical music so the next morning we'd be listening to Bach, Beethoven, Mozart, and that's when I continued to develop my interest in classical music as well.' His blend of classical and pop music with operatic flair, set JJ apart from the competition at Eurovision, which is known for sparkly outfits, cheesy Europop lyrics and flamboyance. He says he learnt to sing falsetto at his parents' karaoke parties. 'After going through puberty, I realised that I still had a high singing voice. At first, it was just a cool party trick to imitate a soprano, but as I got better, I continued to work on that and eventually decided that I wanted to pursue a career in opera.' After moving back to Vienna as a teenager, JJ took part in reality shows including The Voice UK in 2020 and Austrian talent show Starmania in 2021. He also attended the opera school at the Vienna State Opera where he now performs. Last year, JJ and his collaborators wrote Wasted Love, a song about unrequited love that showcases his unique falsetto voice and blends classical music with techno beats. They sent the song to ORF, the Austrian public broadcaster, which selects the country's representative for Eurovision, and JJ was eventually picked following an audition. At Eurovision, which began on May 13, JJ, along with Sweden's three-man band Kaj, quickly became odds-on favourites to win. But it was during rehearsals for the grand final on May 17, that he began to think he actually had a chance in winning. 'My biggest competitors were Sweden, and they came up to me and said that they were blown away by my stage performance. And then the audience was also cheering even louder when I came on stage. 'That's when it started to click. I was like: 'Oh, so we could actually win, because the people are more hyped for me than they were for Sweden'. 'Then I just thought: 'OK, I'll just enjoy it and give my everything and we will see who wins.' 'But I must say, Sweden did an amazing job on their performance. I really respect them so much. They are the loveliest people, the three of them, and we have a great friendship too, so it wasn't really like a competition in that sense.' JJ is a little exhausted from the press tour following his win, but grateful for everything. For now, he's looking forward to a holiday in July, before he returns to the studio to make new music. He's also in discussions for a potential tour. 'I want to say thank you so much to everybody for all of their love and support. It's been really overwhelming how much love I've been receiving from every single part of the world,' he says. 'And the entire Filipino community in Dubai, I've been feeling so much love from them, and also the locals in Dubai and all of my friends that I still have there. I can't wait to finally bring new music to all of them and hopefully come for a tour to the Middle East. I would love to come back. That would be amazing.'
