Chris Hughes branded ‘unsettling’ by ITV CBB viewers as he takes ‘step too far’ with JoJo Siwa friendship
Celebrity Big Brother viewers have called for Chris Hughes to be removed from the show following his latest controversial interaction with JoJo Siwa.
The 32-year-old former Love Island star shocked audiences during Monday night’s episode when he asked the 21-year-old American singer to lick chocolate off his shorts.
The incident has been branded “unsettling” and “a step too far” by outraged fans following a string of “creepy” behaviour habits from Hughes towards Siwa, who is openly gay and in a relationship.
During Monday’s episode, Hughes pointed to chocolate on his shorts and said to Siwa: “Oh, right lick that off please. That’s got to come off.”
He directed her where to start, adding: “Imagine that wasn’t chocolate. Lick it, you freak.”
The camera then focused on Siwa’s head near his crotch as she attempted to remove the chocolate.

Siwa claimed she needed to “bite it off” and later insisted she did a “pretty good job on my behalf”, which Hughes agreed with.
The interaction didn’t end there, with Hughes subsequently showing Siwa an ingrown hair on his groin, which she then pulled out for him.
This latest incident comes just one day after Hughes admitted he “would kiss” Siwa during a bedroom conversation.
The scene, which aired on Sunday night, began with Siwa asking if Hughes would like tinned spaghetti for dinner.
Hughes suggested they could eat it “like Lady and the Tramp,” referencing the Disney scene where two dogs share spaghetti.
When Siwa declined, Hughes leaned close to her face and touched her lips with his finger and said: “It is my finger, don’t you worry. Would I ever? Probably would, actually.”
Siwa responded: “I know. Sucks to be you,” before viewers flocked to their X accounts to slam his behaviour.
“I am a Chris and JoJo friendship defender but Chris is going too far, at the end of the day, she is over a decade younger than him and has made her lack on romantic interest clear,” one viewer wrote on X.
Another commented: “So Mickey gets removed for being disgusting with the women but telling JoJo to lick his shorts isn’t disgusting?”
“It’s actually time for Chris to go… his behaviour towards Jojo is very odd and I am done pretending like it’s normal,” said a third.
Some have questioned whether Hughes is “trying to crack America” by associating with the US star.
Siwa has been open about having a partner back in the US, 27-year-old Kath Ebbs, leaving many to remain uncomfortable with the age gap and what they perceive as Hughes ignoring Siwa’s boundaries.
