Jojo Siwa and Chris Hughes join the great Jaffa Cake debate at BST Hyde Park
Celebrity couple Chris Hughes and Jojo Siwa declared their allegiances in the age-old 'is it a biscuit or a cake' debate about Jaffa Cakes with custom T-shirts in an appearance outside BST Hyde Park
The UK's most hotly contested debate is back on the table - and Chris Hughes and Jojo Siwa are the latest celebs ready to tuck in.
The Celebrity Big Brother stars, who recently confirmed they are dating, were spotted looking loved up as they appeared outside BST Hyde Park today. But it wasn't just their chemistry that was turning heads. The duo weighed in on an age-old British question, dressed in T-Shirts declaring their allegiance in the 'is it a biscuit or a cake' debate. Chris, 32, was spotted in a tee proclaiming 'Cake? Behave it's a Biscuit' while 22-year-old Jojo sported one of her trademark rhinestone tees, this time quoting an updated version of one of her iconic song lyrics: 'I Don't Really Care Bout' What They Say Jaffa Cakes Are Biscuits'.
Jojo and Chris met on Celebrity Big Brother in April this year and initially insisted they were just good friends.
But their relationship blossomed and in the last few weeks they've been spotted on a glamorous trip to Mexico and a romantic retreat in the Cotswolds.
Jojo, who found fame as a child star on Dance Moms, described herself as 'absolutely head over heels for him.' She has already met his parents and says she hates being apart from him.
The Jaffa Cake argument has been raging for decades with millions of Brits, including celebrities, taking sides.

Dave Grohl 'spotted' at Glastonbury as anticipation builds for Neil Young's set
Glastonbury 2025 has kicked off this week and music enthusiasts can expect to see some of their favourite musicians across the festival All eyes will be on Neil Young tonight as he headlines the Pyramid stage - and speculation is raging if the rocker will bring out any special guests. Rumours are sweeping the festival - especially after unconfirmed reports Dave Grohl was spotted on site. The Foo Fighters front man is a massive Young fan and credits the rocker as inspiring his previous band Nirvana. Grohl has said previously: "Not only is Neil a hero today because he's always walked it like he's talked it, and he has the history and integrity of a real legend, he's amazing, but, he's an incredible songwriter." Could anyone else take to the stage with Neil? Well some fans wonder whether Jon Bon Jovi could make an appearance after spotting him at Queen's Club for the tennis last week. The star has covered Young's song Rockin in the Free World before, and like Grohl, is a huge fan of the Canadian legend. Bon Jovi has form for duets - he was due to join Bruce Springsteen on stage at his BST Hyde Park show in London in 2023, but had to pull out after recovering from vocal surgery. Of course, Neil is playing BST too in two weeks - so could any potential Glastonbury duet be a warm-up to that too. While the BBC iPlayer is geared up to stream live from the main five stages, Neil Young's act was not expected to air – but that has since changed. A BBC spokesperson previously said: "On Saturday on BBC iPlayer, our Glastonbury Channel and five streams for the main stages will bring a range of live performances to audiences." They added: "At the artist's request, we won't be livestreaming Neil Young's set. Our plans, including those for our TV highlights shows and on-demand coverage, continue to be finalised right up to and during the festival." But, the star later had a change of heart as a BBC spokesperson later told the Mirror: "We are delighted to confirm that Neil Young's headline set from Glastonbury on Saturday will be broadcast live to audiences across the UK on the BBC." BBC iPlayer is due to offer over 90 hours of performances over the festival with live streams from the five main stages - Pyramid, Other, West Holts, Woodsies and The Park. This means that viewers are able to create their own list of must-see acts and plan their weekend watching schedule. Sets from the Pyramid Stage will be available to stream live in Ultra High Definition and in British Sign Language. While those who prefer to listen on the radio can tune into BBC Radio 6 Music, BBC Radio 1 and 1Xtra, BBC Radio 2, BBC Radio 4 and BBC Sounds. Saturday's line-up has a mystery act listed as 'Patchwork' performing from 6.15pm to 7.15pm on the Pyramid Stages. Speculation is rife that it could be anyone from Haim to Pulp to Chappell Roan but no one has been confirmed yet.

Three big names top Amazon's James Bond casting wishlist
Amazon MGM are reportedly circling three huge names to replace Daniel Craig as James Bond. The long-running franchise made a monumental step towards its next instalment this week, with the appointment of Denis Villeneuve as director. Announcing that the Dune filmmaker would be helming the next film in the series, head of Amazon MGM Studios Mike Hopkins said: 'We are honoured that Denis has agreed to direct James Bond's next chapter. 'He is a cinematic master, whose filmography speaks for itself.' Since then, speculation has gone into overdrive as to who might play Villeneuve's Bond – with some suggesting he might tap up Dune collaborator Timothée Chalamet to take the role. According to Variety, the studio and producers have their own wishlist in mind – and it's between actors Jacob Elordi, Tom Holland and Harris Dickinson. 28-year-old Jacob hit the stratosphere as the star of the 2023 hit Saltburn, appearing opposite Barry Keoghan as the object of creepy Oliver Quick's affections. With the publication reporting that producers are looking for an actor under the age of 30, Jacob certainly hits the bill in that respect. While Jacob is an Australian, that shouldn't count against him in playing British instruction Bond – underrated 007 George Lazenby was an Aussie too. If Jacob is successful, this should more than make up for him missing out on a starring role in James Gunn's upcoming Superman reboot. Marvel Cinematic Universe star Tom Holland, 29, previously threw his own name into the hat, admitting that he'd 'love' to play Bond. 'I'm just putting that out there,' he teased in 2021, adding: 'I look pretty good in a suit.' And, as the MCU's own Spider-Man, Tom is no stranger to explosive franchise filmmaking. English actor Harris, 29, has had a strong run of hits recently, starring in Triangle of Sadness, The Iron Claw and Babygirl in the last three years alone. As of April this year, Harris's odds were listed as 9/1 to score the elusive license to kill. 'The 28-year-old already has a very impressive portfolio of work and has received critical acclaim for his acting alongside Nicole Kidman,' said Betfred spokesperson Robert Ford. Earlier this year, it was announced that Harris will step into the shoes of another British icon – playing John Lennon in Sam Mendes' upcoming Beatles biopic. With producers circling their Bond, speculation has also been rife as to who might be the next Bond girl. While some speculated that Zendaya could appear opposite Villeneuve's future Bond, her Dune: Part 2 co-star Florence Pugh has edged her out of the top spot. According to the Midsommar star is the favourite to be the next Bond girl, at odds of 8/1. 'I think everyone's always interested in playing a spy, right?' she told Digital Spy. 'That's something we grow up admiring, which is so strange, but it's just a very clever and quick world that we all want to be a part of.' As the only name formally attached to the new film, Villeneuve has responded to the announcement of his new gig, promising that the franchise is in safe hands. More Trending 'Some of my earliest movie-going memories are connected to 007,' he said in a statement released soon after the news broke. 'I grew up watching James Bond films with my father, ever since Dr. No with Sean Connery. I'm a die-hard Bond fan. To me, he's sacred territory. He described the opportunity 'a massive responsibility, but also, incredibly exciting for me and a huge honour.' Got a story?

Superman's original cast now from homeless horror to immense family tragedy
As new Superman remake is about to hit cinemas, we take a look at the personal and professional struggles of the original stars of the acclaimed 1978 movie directed by Richard Donner A new Superman is soaring into UK cinemas, with the cast following in the footsteps of movie legends. Sadly, this piece of Hollywood history hasn't always been a happy one, with many former stars plagued by tragedy. In this latest retelling, relative newcomer David Corenswet will star as the Man of Steel, in a blockbuster epic that follows Clark Kent's early days at the Daily Planet. The 31-year-old actor is joined by The Marvellous Mrs. Maisel's Rachel Brosnahan as love interest Lois Lane, with British actor Nicholas Hoult stepping into the role of arch nemesis, Lex Luthor. The first major release in the new DC Universe, overseen by Marvel's former Guardians of the Galaxy visionary James Gunn, superhero fans can catch Superman in UK cinemas from Friday, July 11. Those who've followed Superman's adventures from the very beginning will no doubt be reminiscing over the original 1978 blockbuster and the stars who made cinema goers believe that a man really could fly. Here, the Mirror takes a look at what happened to the cast in the iconic film that breathed life into the superhero franchise. Christopher Reeve Handsome actor Christopher Reeve played the Man of Steel in all four movies. His final Superman movie, The Quest for Peace, was released in 1987. Reeve was so linked to the character that it was difficult for him to get lead roles in other films. The movies he did get a lead role in, sadly, did not do well at the Box Office. Then tragedy struck on May 27, 1995, cutting short his leading man status, when Reeve suffered a riding accident. He was thrown off his horse, breaking his back and paralysing him from the neck down and needing a ventilator to breathe. The father of three's documentary Super/Man: The Christopher Reeve Story (available to watch on NOW TV and Sky Documentaries), following his life and career before and after becoming disabled, was lauded by critics. Reeve died in October 2004, aged 52, after going into cardiac arrest. Margot Kidder Margot Kidder played Daily Planet reporter Lois Lane, Clark Kent/Superman's love interest, in a role that cemented her as a Hollywood legend. Already established in Tinseltown, she'd appeared in movies The Amityville Horror, Some Kind of Hero and Black Christmas. She had a significantly reduced role in Superman 3 due to tension with the new director, Richard Lester, after Richard Donner was fired by producers. The actress dated Superman 3 co-star Richard Pryor while making Some Kind of Hero in 1982. Sadly, Kidder struggled with bipolar disorder in later years and suffered from an extreme manic episode in 1996, which left her homeless for four days. She was found by police in a paranoid, delusional state. She was found in a stranger's back garden in Glendale, California. Kidder was dirty and disoriented, with her two front teeth missing. She described it herself as "the most public freak out in history." A passionate campaigner for mental heath charities, the three-times married actress was still working up to her death, starring in "The Vagina Monologues" on Broadway. She passed away aged 69 in May 2018. Her death was ruled a suicide after taking an alcohol and drug overdose. Kidder was mum to daughter Maggie, now 47. Gene Hackman The multi-award-winning actor played Superman's arch enemy, Lex Luthor, in three of the four films. A veteran Hollywood star, his movie credits include The French Connection, Unforgiven, Mississippi Burning, The Poseidon Adventure and A Bridge Too Far. Already an Academy Award-winner and three-time nominee when he played Lex Luthor, he also received two BAFTAS and three Golden Globes. Hackman was found dead, aged 95, at his home in New Mexico in February this year. His cause of death was given as heart disease and complications from Alzheimer's. He was found dead close to the body of his wife, Betsy Arakawa. Betsy was ruled to have died around a week before her husband, who may not have been aware of her death due to his progressive Alzheimer's disease. Marlon Brando The actor credited as being one of the most influential in film history played Superman's father, Jor-El, in the original movie and was paid 2 million dollars for his role of about 10 minutes. On screen, son Reeve was not impressed with Brando. In a TV interview, when asked if it was exciting to work with Brando, Reeve replied: 'Not really. No. I had a wonderful time, but the man didn't care. He just took the $2 million [salary] and ran.' Reeve also said in another interview he did not 'worship at the altar of Brando', and explained he was frustrated by Brando's "lack of professionalism" on set. After Superman, he starred in Apocalypse Now, The Freshman, A Dry White Season, The Brave and Free Money. In addition to The Godfather trilogy, he was lauded for his appearances in The Ugly American and Last Tango in Paris. In his personal life. The three-times-married actor suffered immense tragedy. His son, Christian, shot his half-sister Cheyenne's boyfriend in 1990 and was imprisoned for ten years. Brando admitted in court that he had failed his son and daughter. Grief-stricken Cheyenne later died by suicide in 1995. Brando became a recluse in later life and died in July 2004 from lung failure, aged 80. It was three months before Christopher Reeve's death. Ned Beatty Ned Beatty played Lex Luthor's sidekick Otis. He had previously appeared in hit films All The President's Men (1976) and Network ( 1976). Along with Kidder, Beatty was highly critical of Richard Donner's sacking from directing "Superman II," and he chose not to reprise his role in later films. Later appearing in movies such as Friendly Fire, Touched, he also starred alongside Gene Wilder in the 1976 railroad comedy Silver Streak. One of his most popular roles in recent years was voicing Lots o'Huggin' Bear in the 2010 film Toy Story 2. Beatty, who had eight children from four marriages, died, aged 83, in June 2021 from natural causes. Terence Stamp The British actor made a cameo appearance in the first Superman movie, before returning to play arch villain General Zod in Superman II. He also starred in Chessgame, Link, and Wall Street and received critical acclaim for his role in The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert. Stamp also appeared in The Hunger, The Haunted Mansion, Wanted, and Valkyrie, alongside Tom Cruise. The actor was a notorious ladies' man and dated the likes of model Jean Shrimpton and actress Julie Christie. At the age of 64, Stamp married Elizabeth O'Rourke in 2002, who was 29 at the time. The couple divorced in 2008. In 2011, Stamp stunned Radio 2's Graham Norton yesterday with a below-the-belt Superman anecdote. The actor was telling him about filming Superman with Marlon Brando. Stamp said, 'One day he came over and said, 'You see those two girls? They want your d***'. I said, 'What about your d***, Marlon?' And he said, 'They've had my d**k.'' Norton interrupted and said, 'We are live.' Stamp is now 86 and lives in London. Superman is released in UK cinemas on Friday, July 11.
