Celebrity Big Brother viewers were left with their jaws on the floor during this year’s dramatic series when the Dance Moms star, 22, and the Love island alumni, 32, formed an unlikely, intense friendship.
The series saw them hugging in bed and whispering into the night, with JoJo’s partner Kath Ebbs watching the whole saga unfold with the rest of the world on live TV.
The co-stars are rumoured to be an item following JoJo’s abrupt split from Kath at the CBB afterparty, and after she and Chris were reportedly snapped kissing during a reunion trip to Mexico.
Now, JoJo has been filmed taking to the stage in London wearing a Sunderland AFC top, which is Chris’ team, after they got bumped up into the Premier League for the first time in eight years this weekend.
In a clip posted by PinkNews, JoJo could be seen wearing the bedazzled football shirt.

Chris and JoJo’s close relationship has continued outside the Celebrity Big Brother house
After being booed by the crowd, JoJo said: ‘You might not like it, but he does, so just go with it.’
Chris attended the gig with JoJo’s parents, according to MailOnline, who also reported she said of the shirt tribute: ‘This is for somebody special who’s here tonight.’
According to the outlet, she performed a cover of the Kim Carnes hit Bette Davis Eyes, which was thought to also be a nod to the racing enthusiast after their performance of the song in the Celebrity Big Brother house.
However, she tweaked the lyrics to say ‘Chris Hughes’ eyes,’ after which he blew a kiss in her direction while the crowd cheered.

JoJo and Chris raised a few eyebrows while on the show, and they are only getting higher. This comes after Chris’ ex and former Love Island star Olivia Atwood reacted to the pair’s rumoured romance.
TikTok user Cimallow shared a video, saying: ‘I’m sorry, I need to know what’s Olivia Attwood’s reaction to this Chris and JoJo thing.’
They continued: ‘What in the Big Brother, Love Island, ITV, Dance Moms is going on, like. This is giving that Suite Life On Deck, like with Hannah Montana.
‘I can’t stop thinking about it. I feel like going from Olivia Attwood to JoJo Siwa is actually crazy to me.’
Olivia responded with the simple comment: ‘She’s really famous.’
Actor and presenter Kath Ebbs also seemed to respond to rumours their ex JoJo and Chris were an item, posting on their Instagram Story, ‘The only thing I have to say is LOL’ after the pair shared pictures together from their Mexico trip.
While neither Chris nor JoJo has confirmed their relationship, JoJo was left stumped when asked bluntly if he was her boyfriend during an appearance on Lorraine.
Host Andi Peters asked if she had been given the Love Island treatment and pulled her into the kitchen to ask if they could be exclusive.
‘Christopher and I have had a lot of chats, [but] we’ve never gone into the kitchen and said, “My head’s not turning any way.” We’ve never had that portion of a chat,’ she responded.
On This Morning, JoJo also said: ‘I would say he is up there with one of my favourite people in the entire world. He makes me happier than I think I’ve ever been. He makes me feel so full as me. He’s been a really good one that’s been the most incredible addition to my life.’
