Chris Hughes shocked his followers after posting an intimate photo of himself and JoJo Siwa in bed... before swiftly deleting it.
Their chemistry first ignited during Season 24 of Celebrity Big Brother UK, where the pair’s flirty interactions — including JoJo licking chocolate off Chris’ shorts and cuddling in bed — had viewers glued to their screens.
By the end of the series, JoJo had split from her partner Kath Ebbs and stunned fans by revealing she was no longer a lesbian.
Since then, they've taken their bond from the Big Brother house to real life. Just a week ago, the duo reunited in London.
Chris was spotted greeting JoJo at the airport with a bouquet of flowers, later embracing her as they walked arm in arm.
At one point, JoJo rested her head on Chris’ chest as he wrapped his arm around her.
Despite the public PDA — including sharing a kiss in a pool in Mexico — JoJo still refuses to label Chris as her boyfriend.
When asked about exclusivity, she admitted: “We have had a lot of chats.”
Well, things may have been taken up a gear.
The Love Island star, 32, recently posted — and swiftly deleted — an intimate photo of himself cuddled up with JoJo, 22, in bed.
The shot, which didn’t stay on social media for long, was enough to send fans into a frenzy.
In the cozy snap, Chris is seen kissing the Karma singer’s forehead while she sleeps on his bare chest. “Sleeeepinnn beauty,” he captioned it.
Before it disappeared, quick-fingered fans managed to screenshot and share the image widely across platforms.
The bed selfie isn’t the first cozy moment they’ve shared online. Earlier this week, Chris posted another shot from the bedroom showing the pair watching Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?
Just hours before, Chris had teased he was preparing a romantic dinner. A follow-up photo revealed their candlelit setup with bowls of food, roses on the table, and a warm ambiance perfect for date night vibes.
While JoJo has yet to confirm their relationship status, she hasn't held back when it comes to talking about their connection.
Appearing on Channel 4’s Sunday Brunch, JoJo shared just how close Chris has gotten with her family.
“She [Siwa’s mother] does love him. My parents think the absolute world of him and him and my dad are like best friends,” she said, cited by the Mirror.
“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.”
She added: “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.”
And the feeling seems mutual, with Chris meeting JoJo’s mom and manager Jessalynn while supporting her during her tour in Mexico.
JoJo also addressed how the pair are managing their relationship from opposite sides of the Atlantic.
“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,” she explained.
