Chris Hughes<\/a>‘ close friend and former co-star Jake Quickenden<\/a> has shared his opinion on the former Love Island<\/a> star’s close friendship with JoJo Siwa <\/a>as he appeared in the audience of tonight’s Late and Live.<\/p>\n

JoJo, 21, and Chris, 32, have shared an extremely close friendship in the house, with some suspecting it may be something more. The two have been seen giving each other massages <\/a>and sharing cuddles in bed, but Jake has revealed that his friend is just “addicted to connection”.<\/p>\n

Jake and Chris first met on ITV’s Lorraine<\/a> and became close when they did The Real Full Monty <\/a>together in 2020. The pair have been close ever since, with Jake even admitting Chris makes him sleep in his bed when he stays over.<\/p>\n

Speaking to host AJ Odudu<\/a>, former X-Factor star Jake said: “He is addicted to connection. I did a show with him, he latched onto me and I couldn’t get rid of him. Still can’t get rid of him,” he laughed.<\/p>\n

“It was the same in Love Island with Kem,” Jake continued. “He finds his person and they’re his safety blanket.<\/p>\n

Speaking on JoJo and Chris sharing cuddles in bed together<\/a>, Jake said: “Even when I stop over at his house he won’t let me sleep in the spare room, he makes me sleep in bed with him.<\/p>\n

“He wants to have a chat and he wants to wake up and bring you a cup of tea. That’s just Chris.”<\/p>\n

AJ then asked Jake if he’d received a back tickle from Chris in bed like JoJo has, as father of two Jake laughed: “I mean I shut it down. I shut it down straight away! But he is really touchy feely.”<\/p>\n

In tonight’s episode, JoJo and Chris were seen taking their friendship even further as Chris was seen wearing JoJo’s bikini bottoms on his head<\/a> while he slept.<\/p>\n

Although the duo found it amusing, fans weren’t as impressed. Taking to X, formerly known as Twitter<\/a>, one fan wrote: Chris has Jojos bikini bottoms on his head.. don\u2019t tell me something isnt off.. this isn\u2019t a friendship nor normal. #CelebrityBigBrother<\/a>“.<\/p>\n

Another said: “Chris having JoJo’s bikini on his face [sick emoji]”.<\/p>\n

Celebrity Big Brother 2025 airs weeknights and Sundays at 9PM on ITV1 and ITVX.<\/strong><\/p>\n
