The more comical the action at women's Euros, the more woke BBC get – one pundit's pearl of wisdom was red card offence
A SIMPLE equation is at play with the BBC and ITV's coverage of the women's Euros – the funnier the football gets, the more earnest the pundits must become. To the point, when things go really haywire, they sound more like they're dissecting Garry Kasparov versus the Deep Blue chess computer than the latter stages of a football tournament. 7 BBC's pundits during the England/Sweden game 7 Pundit Gabby Logan for BBC Sport Credit: Instagram/gabbylogan 7 Ian Wright during ITV's coverage of England/Italy semi-final Credit: Pixel8000 A sly reference to the exquisite mayhem of the England/Sweden penalty shoot-out, in Zurich, on BBC1, which has to be a contender for the...

Chris Hughes, 32, shares baby plans with girlfriend JoJo Siwa, 22, as 'besotted' star gushes over romance
has opened up on future baby plans with his girlfriend JoJo Siwa as he gushed over their romance. The former Love Islander, 32, found love with the singer, 22, on Celebrity Big Brother earlier this year - shocking fans with their unlikely romance. And it appears their relationship is going from strength to strength as the 'besotted' hunk revealed their hopes for children. In a chat with US Weekly, Chris said: 'We genuinely speak to each other about this, I would be lying if I said we didn't. 'When you're besotted with each other and in love with someone I think it's fun to look forward to those things. Chris continued: 'Of course I want to get married to her, I would never shy away from that. And one day I want to have children. 'We both come from extremely loving families and very wholesome families who care for you so it would be nice to reciprocate that going forward 'One day I'd love to have children, it would be an absolute dream for sure.' It comes after Chris revealed the nickname JoJo has for his private parts in a shocking X-rated confession. The star told E! News this week in a new interview: 'She calls my balls Jimmy and Timmy. So she must like Jimmy and Timmy,' adding that she loves 'the rhyming lingo.' He also sweetly described JoJo as the 'love of his life' in the chat after confirming they were officially in a relationship last month. Chris said: 'She's literally the love of my life, but she's also my best friend. Like, we sit and do nothing together.' He also explained that the pair only formally had their first date together recently as they prefer to spend time in each other's company instead. He recalled: 'We went up to Malibu and we went for a lovely dinner and it was like a date night. On the way back - it was like an hour drive home - we parked up and we said to each other, 'That was actually our first proper date together.'' The star told E! News this week in a new interview: 'She calls my balls Jimmy and Timmy. So she must like Jimmy and Timmy,' adding that she loves 'the rhyming lingo' The TV star explained that the experience further solidified the belief that he and JoJo are the ideal match for each other. JoJo revealed last month that she had 'so many thoughts' about marrying Chris. Speaking to TMZ, JoJo said: 'He is my favourite person in the world... It's beautiful, it kind of radiates. He's my favourite person and I am very grateful and very happy.' The former Nickelodeon star also rubbished suggestions that the pair's romance was merely a 'PR stunt'. She told The Guardian newspaper: 'Clearly, you've never been around us. 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.' However, JoJo does understand why others are intrigued that she and Chris are together. She said: 'People can see our chemistry, and they got to see it develop. I think everyone's just curious, and I can't blame them.'
