Chris Hughes breaks down over Celebrity Big Brother jibe after JoJo Siwa suspicions
Chris Hughes broke down in tears on Celebrity Big Brother after he was accused of playing a game with his friendship with JoJo Siwa amid growing speculation
Chris Hughes broke down in tears as he was accused of 'game playing' by his Celebrity Big Brother co-stars. Before he exited the house, Daley Thompson dropped a bombshell about game players.
Before his exit, Daley spoke to Ella Rae Wise about his suspicions about JoJo Siwa and Chris Hughes playing a game with their friendship. Ella then shared her concerns with both Danny and Donna.
"Daley just basically said that you've got to be careful. There are two reality stars in here that do reality every single day," she said, "He said they know what they're doing, if they pair up, they're going to take a lot of air time from people. And it's going to be very fixated on them both. And just to be mindful."
In a clip shared on Late and Live, Chris cried as he admitted he felt down about the comments. He said: "I’m literally in here, I’m just living, I’m just being me. I had toxic stuff and I had bad energy, it just brings you down."
Later, his brother Ben called in to Late and Live and insisted it wasn't an act. Asked if their friendship would remain out of the house, he said: "I think their friendship has threatened the other housemates bit.
"I think they have a mutual energy and Chris repeated that in the Diary Room. I think they will keep their friendship." It was then that the others joked that they only spells good news for Chris' followers.
Speaking about his own feelings towards it, Chris said: "Does Daley think I've become friends with certain people in here to benefit? Daley would be referring to mine and JoJo's friendship. I'm fine with that. I know that mine and JoJo's friendship is genuine.
"I'm fine with other people looking at it from that perspective. When you've been somewhere for two weeks, naturally you're going to gravitate towards people. That's just life."
Ella then replied: "What we've got to take into consideration is that there's people in here that have caring sides, and there's people in here who wouldn't want you to be used for your platform. That's why I feel it struck a chord in Daley because he felt for you - he doesn't want anyone to use you as a stepping stone."
In a rare admission about his feelings about JoJo, Chris described them as "two peas in a pod".
"If she left the house ever and I'd be stuck in here that would genuinely be crushed. I guess she's like my person in here. When you walk into a party you don't know anyone, there's someone you want to see in the room that makes you want to feel at ease," he said.
"It makes me feel happy it makes me feel comfortable and it allows me to be me, it really brings out me, I like me, I like being me and I'll always be me and it takes someone to get you. We're like two peas in a pod."
