Chris Hughes is sharing his love for JoJo Siwa.
On the April 25 finale of Celebrity Big Brother UK, Chris addressed rumors that the pair may be developing a romantic connection after viewers saw them kiss on the cheek, cuddle in the house and give hugs of support.
However, Chris, 32, clarified that his love for the 21-year-old is platonic.
“We’re just messing around—we’re being kids,” he said of their physical affection. “JoJo was like a pure rock to me. She was someone I can have fun with.”
In fact, Chris went further in defending their dynamic, sharing, “From a friendship point of view, yeah, of course I love her.”
“Why would I not want to get on with people when I’m in a house?” he continued. “If I want to spend time with a person who makes me feel like I’m at home, makes me feel happy and forget that we’re filming a TV show, we’re having fun, I’ll do that—because that’s very normal. It was just a friendship, which is only going to get stronger.”
