Chris Hughes' ex addresses his ‘flirty behaviour’ towards JoJo Siwa as viewers call out ‘inappropriate’ comment

Following the Love Island alum's 'flirty behaviour' towards fellow Celebrity Big Brother star JoJo Siwa, Chris Hughes' ex has spoken out.

Hughes and Siwa - the latter of which first rose to fame on US reality show Dance Moms - have formed a close bond during their time in the Big Brother house - especially after Chris defended JoJo against Mickey Rourke's homophobic remarks.

The pals have since been seen laughing in bed while Hughes, 32, tickled 21-year-old Siwa's back, and were recently punished for sharing secret messages, which the 'Karma' singer wrote out on Hughes’ hand with her finger.

Although the Dance Moms star is gay and in a happy relationship, some viewers have speculated that 'there could be something there' between the housemates with others have accused them of 'game-playing.'

Now, Hughes' ex and Love Island co-star Olivia Attwood Dack has weighed in on his relationship with Siwa during her KISS Breakfast Show that she hosts with Pete Wicks.

During Tuesday's (15 April) show, she said: "I'm getting tagged in thousands [of comments] because obviously Chris and I used to date. We're going back like six or seven years, but we did."

She admitted that the 'clips look like there could be something there' but added: "I guess it's how you interpret it.

"The internet is going two ways - the internet is going that there’s something there, there might be feelings from one side or the other.

"The other side of the internet is asking is Chris playing the game - she has a lot of followers, she’s very famous…"

Earlier this week, Chris' brother Ben Hughes also spoke out about the pair's closeness during an appearance on Lorraine, saying: "I actually think that maybe they’ve formed a great friendship due to the fact that Chris stood up for JoJo.

"I think JoJo is in a solid relationship, Chris will know that and I just think that they’ve got each other's backs."

But, his behaviour towards the singer in a recent episode has been called out as 'creepy' and 'uncomfortable.'

In the episode, a few of the remaining housemates gathered round the sofa to play a memory game.

They each listed one item which they would get from a supermarket with the person whose go it was needing to remember each item in order from the entire group as they went along.

When it came to JoJo's turn, she successfully recount every single item.

"That was really good, really well remembered," Chris congratulated her, before randomly adding: "That's a big turn on, that."

"What?" JoJo asked as he repeated: "A big turn on, that."

Viewers rushed to social media to share their thoughts on the 'creepy' remark, with one saying: "Why is Chris telling JoJo that was a turn on? This is so creepy!"
