"Well, I'm a girl that's practiced celibacy throughout her dating life," she told The Sun. "Yeah, it's gonna take a really hot guy. "Celibacy has been part of my journey, and I think for me, I did try and date when I was going through my accident, or going through having treatment, things like that, and I just wasn't ready." - Sophie was referring to when she was scarred badly after being burnt in a terrifying accident. Continuing to talk about her celibacy journey, the new Islander said: "For my personal preference anyway, sex and intimate times, I'm giving you a part of my body. "I'm giving you a part of my soul, my mind, body and soul. If I'm not in a place where I feel confident in that, then that's a me problem. That's not a him problem. He's just living a single life, or whatever. That's why I did celibacy." Talking about the last time she had sex, and also how long she once abstained from nookie for, she said: "The longest stint was two years. "Even now, I've done celibacy for eight-and-a-bit months. "And I'm proud of that, because it means it's something that I want to do. "If I want to have sex, I want to do it, not because I'm there thinking, maybe I should do it, because he might like me more, or, everyone else is doing it, am I not normal?

"While they aren't dating anymore, he thinks she's an amazing girl and they ended on good terms. "It's weird for anyone though knowing your ex is about to go on Love Island and could fall for someone else on TV.'

JoJo Siwa reveals her 'favorite thing' about new BF Chris Hughes as they enjoy a romantic dinner at home
JoJo Siwa has revealed her favorite thing about her new lover Chris Hughes in a new Instagram post on Thursday after confirming their romance. The Love Island star, 32, and dancer, 22, formed a close bond after meeting in the Celebrity Big Brother house last month, but have kept coy when grilled about their status. However, JoJo has now shared her 'favorite' thing about Chris, during a Q&A with her 11.3million followers. JoJo said: 'Gosh lots of things, but the first thing that comes to my mind is the way he treats everyone... Strangers, friends, family, me, literally everyone. 'I've never seen somebody who acknowledges everyone in the room the way that he always does. Everyone gets a hello, everyone gets, how are you doing... and it's genuine. Beautiful beautiful soul he is'. In another post, the dancer shared a series of pictures from her tour dates as she revealed it is the first time in five years that she is 'not trying to convince herself' that she is happy in her 'personal and professional' life. She wrote: 'London… processing the last few days. The last 2 nights were more than just concerts - they were moments I will never forget. 'There's no way to quite explain how content and how happy I have been feeling personally and professionally. 'I don't feel the need to convince anyone because for the first time since I was 17 I'm not trying to convince myself of that.' JoJo continued 'To everyone who has shared kind messages and words of love, I see you all and I feel you all. Thank you for opening your hearts and supporting mine. Means the absolute world to me, the concerts…. hearing you sing, seeing you dance/jump around, crying together, it all means so much and hits deeper and deeper every time. 'I'm so excited to be able to do this all summer on tour, gosh gonna be a beautiful time. Hopefully see you there:) just a lil post dump of a beautiful first 3 days I've had in London. Perfect time with perfect people in a perfect place'. The star also shared a glimpse into her chilled date night in with Chris as he cooked for her at his home. JoJo filmed the Love Island star cooking a creamy chicken dish as he got her to taste a bite off a spoon before they sat down to eat and she revealed she 'ate every bite'. The sweet date comes after Chris revealed his relationship status with JoJo , after JoJo confirmed their romance with a sweet on-stage tribute. The reality TV star had a simple one-word answer when asked whether he and JoJo were in a relationship. Chris answered: 'Happy. That's my relationship status - happy. Yeah, I'm just happy that's good. I'm happy with that.' Despite the guarded answer, he still gushes about his close relationship with JoJo, admitting that she's become his 'favorite topic of conversation.' He said: 'She's just just my favorite human and somebody I can literally talk about relentlessly.' Chris also said he was 'missing her' and was struggling with 'separate anxiety' after flying back to the UK after spending a week with her and her family in the U.S.. During a recent performance in London JoJo appeared to confirm that her and Chris were romantic before breaking down in tears as she told fans she feels 'incredibly loved.' The star once again performed her cover of Bette Davies' Eyes, and changed the end of the song's lyrics to sing ' Chris Hughes ' Eyes.' Admitting that she'd changed the end of the song because it made her 'happy,' she added: 'I'll tell you this much, if it's not obvious, that ending lyric is very much true,' which sparked a huge cheer from the fans in attendance. Chris had attended JoJo's first show in London the previous night, but the star was unable to attend Tuesday's performance. So instead, the dancer revealed she'd brought along the orange beanie he'd given her while in the house, after she caught him singing one of her hits while she was still asleep. She told the audience: 'This morning I woke up and all I heard was [sings Nobody Can Change me] he was singing, so I figured today I'd bring a little bit of him while I sing this next song.' As the show came to a close, JoJo then broke down in tears at the crowd's reception, and emotionally told her fans that after once feeling she was 'one of the most hated people in the world,' she feels 'so special and so loved.' She said: 'London can I just say, as Joelle a very serious thank you I'm going to take my last two minutes to get a little deep with you all. 'I've gone through a lot of phases in my life, it's crazy what I'm about to say out loud. 'Since I was nine, I've gone through phases of my life where, at times, I have been one of the most hated people in the world. 'I'm not asking for sympathy, it's OK, but I've been hanging onto things that are out of my control.' On stage, JoJo continued: 'It was really really bad when I was 14. But, right now, personally and professionally I feel incredibly loved. 'And it just, nights like this, I don't cry that often, nights like this it just it really hit me, and I can be up here an sing my songs and commit to the bit, but I just want you to know inside my heart is smiling. 'And I feel like, I just feel so grateful because in my life right now, in roms like this and at home I feel so loved and I feel so special. 'I wanna take a second, and remind everybody if you're doing through a hard time, I promise it gets good, just keep pushing troops.' At the previous evening's show, Chris was filmed beaming at JoJo and blowing her a kiss as she performed her on-stage tribute to him. The star then revealed a rhinestone-covered Sunderland football shirt, the team Chris supports, after they were promoted to the Premier League on Saturday, telling the crowd: 'This is for somebody special who's here tonight.' The pair were later spotted leaving the venue together, with Chris going later sharing a cozy snap of the pair in bed watching Dumb and Dumber. JoJo reportedly believes Chris is 'the one' and sees a long-term future with him. A source revealed that JoJo believes Chris would make 'a tremendous father.' The insider said JoJo - who recently declared she no longer identifies as a lesbian - is 'telling people that Chris is The One in a dramatic twist in the way she has lived her life over the last few years.' The source added: 'She feels more alive than she ever has been with anyone else. With Chris, she realized that this is exactly what she has wanted for so long.' The insider confirmed the romance, stating: 'The rumors are true, they are a thing and it is going very well.' More than just a fleeting romance, JoJo sees a long-term future with the reality star. They added: 'Another thing she has wanted for so long is children. And she feels that Chris would be a tremendous father if they decided to go down that route. 'Things are happening at a breakneck pace to the outside eye, but to them it is going at a pace that feels absolutely right.'
