Chris is well aware Jojo is a lesbian and has a partner and I think insinuating he is trying to flirt with her is so weird sorry.
’A third shared: ‘Can we please stop with this Jojo and Chris love affair story. It’s so damaging to the lesbian community. They’re clearly just vibing on the same personality.
’people being confused by Jojo and Chris’ relationship but like that’s a whole lesbain and Chris is the closest thing she has to a twink gay boy best friend in there #CBBUK pic.twitter.com/ZooVSMULmK— harrie ☭ (@emopunkgrrrl) April 13, 2025 I genuinely don’t get everyone talking about Jojo and Chris, if that was a gay man and a straight woman no one would be shipping them and see it as a normal friendship but it’s just because you can’t accept lesbians genuinely aren’t attracted to men #CBBUK #CBB— Kerri (@alvernorris) April 13, 2025 before people get weird people that are friends like chris and jojo are allowed to have platonic intimacy & it doesn’t need to be s/xual or even romantic #CBBUK— teej (@badmedlakarma) April 13, 2025 Can we please stop with this Jojo and Chris love affair story.
It's so damaging to the lesbian community. They're clearly just vibing on the same personality. #CBBUK #LateAndLive— Shaun Angus (@shangusxo) April 14, 2025 A fourth added: ‘I’m sorry but I’m not here for the JoJo and Chris slander.
People can have close friendships like that and there not be anything behind it. Jojo’s a lesbian. Chris has always been overly friendly with everyone.
Leave them be.’JoJo and Chris have been seen cuddling in bed and sending each other secret messages, with the singer writing a message on the presenter’s hand (which was actually a rule break in the Big Brother house).You can see what punishment faces JoJo Siwa and Chris Hughes in the next episode of Celebrity Big Brother UK at 9pm on Virgin Media One.
