It seems like “Celebrity Big Brother UK” just turned the thermostat up; again. This time, it’s thanks to Chris Hughes and JoJo Siwa, who took a spontaneous hot tub plunge that left viewers blinking, laughing, and kinda wondering if this was the start of the show’s next iconic duo. Yep, the unlikely pair ditched their regular fits for swimwear and brought some cheeky energy to the tub.
JoJo + Chris = Vibes
JoJo Siwa has been pure entertainment since the moment she stepped into the house, and Chris Hughes? Equally chaotic in the best way. So when the two decided to strip down (bathing suits, people… relax) for a late-night soak, it was less about drama and more about good old-fashioned fun. According to Daily Mail (which has video of the hot tub moment), Chris joked about the “nipple count” and JoJo matched his energy with a playful “only in the UK” vibe. That level of mutual unbothered confidence? Kind of a power move.
Despite the camera zooming in on JoJo’s hand on Chris’ thigh at one point, there wasn’t anything remotely scandalous going on; especially compared to some of the stuff we’ve seen on the show in the past. It was just two housemates vibing, laughing, and maybe distracting everyone from the usual tension. Instead of forced showmance energy (please, no more of that), we got a genuinely fun, flirty-but-wholesome moment. Like, if friendship bracelets had a hot tub form, this would be it.
Harmless or Headline-Worthy?
So, was it over-the-top? Sure. But that’s the point. This is “Celebrity Big Brother UK,” not a book club. The internet, as usual, couldn’t agree as to what was really going on though.
One fan commented on X, “It’s just Chris and JoJo in the hot tub now, he’s giving her a leg massage… 👀😂,” while another posted, “That is not friendship behaviour, obviously something going on between them. I’d be furious if I was her partner, I’d be removing her from social media and packing her bags by now.”
Another viewer wasn’t having it: “Oh for gods sake it’s not like that can ppl stop sexualising them pls.” Someone else agreed, adding, “Programs like this are scripted and are focused on Chris and Jojo to keep people watching to see where their friendship goes and it won’t go anywhere because Jojo doesn’t like men.”
One thing’s for sure: JoJo and Chris are making this season way more fun to watch. It’s not every day you see a former “Love Island” guy and a pop-star-turned-reality-queen joking around in a hot tub like it’s Tuesday night at the community pool.
No one got hurt, nothing got weird (well, depending on your definition of weird), and it made for some genuinely meme-worthy TV. Keep the banter coming, please.
