Chris Hughes and JoJo Siwa confirm 'relationship' status as CBB stars speak out
Now, the pair of reality TV stars have finally spoken about their 'really strong bond' – but is it solely platonic?
Speaking to This Morning hosts Cat Deeley and Ben Shephard, JoJo revealed: 'Obviously we're close, obviously we're tight.'
While Chris added: 'The thing is, our friendship is like, it's just a really strong bond between two people, it's just a strong friendship.
'I think you can have a soulmate friendship, I think that's a thing and to me it's like that energy where it's not like the standard friendship you have with your friends but it's still a friendship, we are friends and it's just nice and that's why I found the whole… I found it strange because it's such a strong friendship.
'But having someone in there to go through an experience like that and have someone there every day when you're emotional when you're down, when you're happy, that is beautiful, that is a genuinely amazing thing.'
When JoJo was asked if she wanted to have a 'romantic' relationship with Chris instead of a 'platonic' one, she told Ben: 'Look, he is a great guy, it is platonic, we have a lot of fun together, life is life and I don't know any future of anything.
'But I'm really grateful for the dynamic that we have and our bond that we have and whatever life does life will do.'

Also on the interview on Monday morning (April 28), ITV presenter Cat praised JoJo for always being 'open and honest' while in the public eye.
She then asked the popular TikTok star for the 'truth' about all the 'reports' over the weekend regarding her personal life.
JoJo shared: 'Honestly when I went into the house, day one fun, day two fun, well day two wasn't actually that fun but then honestly day three I was in my own thoughts, away from everyone that I know, away from everything, and I sat with myself and from that point on I really realised things that I was okay with in my life, that I should have never been okay with in the first place.'
Cat interrupted: 'Do you mean your relationship?'
JoJo continued: 'So many things, that was one of them, but so many things.
'Obviously I wanted to hold them inside because I didn't want to air that out very publicly but there were countless things that I was like 'that's not something I was okay with and I don't need to be okay with and I'm not happy' and I knew as soon as I got out I wanted to fix things in my life and make the changes I need to make.
'I think you have this experience that's so exhilarated, it's 20 days but it feels like it's four and a half years and the first thing you want to do when you get out is just exactly what you need to do in your life to make it as great as you can.'

The former Dance Moms contestant added: 'I think I realised just how not great things were and that I was pretending they were great and it's been hard but it's been good, I'm very happy where I am now, I'm very grateful that I had you [Chris] in there for support even though you didn't know what was going on in my brain.'
JoJo then confirmed a conversation with her now ex-partner Kath Ebbs took place at the CBB wrap party which ended their relationship, but that 'wasn't the plan' as their ex originally declined to attend the event.
She added: 'They straight up asked me if I was happy and I said 'no' and one thing led to another and that conversation did take place there.'

Is ITV's Under the Bridge based on a true story? The real life case behind Reena Virk's tragic death
A chilling new drama, Under the Bridge,is set to air on ITV tonight (Friday 25th July). The eight-part series recounts the true story of Reena Virk, a 14-year-old who attended a party on an island in British Columbia, Canada, but tragically never made it back home. Seven teenage girls and a boy were implicated in Reena's murder. The story is told through the eyes of Rebecca and local police officer Cam Bentland (played by Lily Gladstone), pulling viewers into the complex world of the teenagers accused of murder - and uncovering some shocking truths along the way. "Under the Bridge is based on acclaimed author Rebecca Godfrey's book about the 1997 true story of fourteen-year-old Reena Virk (Vritika Gupta) who went to join friends at a party and never returned home," the official synopsis reads. "Through the eyes of Godfrey (Riley Keough) and a local police officer (Lily Gladstone), the series takes us into the hidden world of the young girls accused of the murder - revealing startling truths about the unlikely killer." As Under the Bridge airs read on for the devastating true story that inspired the series. It is. on 14th November 1997, a 14-year-old girl named Reena Virk was attacked by a group of teenagers in Saanich, Canada. Her body was discovered eight days later in a nearby river. In 2008, Reena Virk's father, Manjit, published Reena: A Father's Story, a memoir that explores his daughter's life and the tragedy of her death. He describes Reena as a young girl who often felt like an outsider and endured relentless bullying. Her relationship with her Indian Canadian parents was complex, shaped in part by their strict upbringing and devotion to the Jehovah's Witness faith. At age 14, Virk began spending time with a group of teenagers, including Nicole Cook. According to the book Under the Bridge, tensions escalated when Reena allegedly spread hurtful rumours about Cook - claiming she had fake breasts, wore coloured contact lenses, and had AIDS. On the evening of 14th November 1997, Virk attended a party with some of her friends where she was confronted by Cook, according to the TV show Bloodlust Under the Bridge. Virk allegedly called her a "b***h," which prompted Cook to put a cigarette out on her forehead. Cook and Missy Grace Pleich said that Cook's best friend, Kelly Ellard, and Pleich both started to hit and kick Virk. Then the rest of the group, including Warren Glowatski, joined in. Virk managed to escape, but was followed by Glowatski and Ellard, who continued the assault before drowning her in the Victoria Gorge waterway. They were later tried as adults, and both received life sentences. Eight teenagers were ultimately tried and convicted in connection with Reena's tragic death. Six of them, later dubbed the Shoreline Six, were found guilty of assaulting her. while Warren and Kelly faced murder convictions, held responsible for taking her life. Their convictions were changed to manslaughter. The Shoreline Six included Ellard, Cook, Nicole Patterson, Courtney Keith, Gail Ooms, and Reena Virk's best friend, Pleich. They received sentences ranging from 60-day conditional sentences to one year in jail. Several of the teenagers involved in the initial attack on Virk were given fictional names in the series. For example, Nicole Cook is portrayed as Josephine Bell, played by Chloe Guidry. This was the name given to Cook by Godfrey for her 2017 Vice article about the incident as a way of protecting her identity since she was a teenager (aged 15) when it happened. Under the Bridge starts on ITV1 on Friday 25th July at 9pm.

JoJo Siwa Cries at Chris Hughes's Compliment About Her Hairline
JoJo Siwa just experienced an emotional revelation thanks to a sweet compliment from her boyfriend, Chris Hughes. In a clip shared across her social media profiles on July 24, the 'Karma' singer burst into tears as Chris told her she had a 'really good hairline.' The comment struck a chord with the former child star, as she revealed the feature used to be the 'number one thing' she was once bullied for in the public eye. 'I'm drying my hair right now, and he goes, 'You have a really good hairline.' That's the number one thing I was bullied for as a child,' JoJo said in the video as she wiped away her tears. The Love Island alum then reassured her and doubled down on his compliment, as he hugged her, saying, 'I love you. You have a really good hairline, it's got so much hair.' Despite popular belief that her signature high ponytail caused a bald spot and a receding hairline, the reality TV personality clarified that a 'stress rash' from her Dance Moms days had actually formed on her head in 2022. 'No, it's actually not from the ponytails, because if it was from my ponytails—considering it went on this side—it would be this,' she said in a TikTok clip at the time. 'When I was little, I had a really bad stress rash right here on Dance Moms, and I would pick at it all day long.' JoJo added, 'I damaged every single hair follicle that has ever been right there.' She reflected on her vulnerable moment with Chris in her caption, in which she wrote, 'He had no idea of the 2017-2020 hairline memes that I'm not affected by on the daily anymore, but him saying this out of thin air literally finished healing a part of me.' 'It's almost like I had a band aid over it for the last 8 years and just was leaving it there scared to look under it to see if it's healed,' she continued. 'He removed it being like why do u have this on before I could even explain what it was. Lucky lucky girl I am. Don't even think I realize how lucky sometimes.'
