Chris Hughes 'ready to pop the question' to JoJo Siwa as they make future plans

Chris Hughes is reportedly ready to "pop the question" to JoJo Siwa as their whirlwind romance heats up. The pair met just a few months ago on Celebrity Big Brother and struck up a firm friendship.

Chris and JoJo started off as friends and soon became more when they left the house and JoJo split from her partner, Kath Ebbs. The Love Island star is said to be smitten with JoJo and they are both "besotted" with each other.

"Chris is smitten. He can't believe his luck. He and JoJo have got the most lovely thing going on here. It came from nowhere but they are so in love already – it has happened so quickly," a source said.

"Anyone who knows Chris says that they can see him popping the question at any moment – it has been a whirlwind, a fairytale. The love is real and it is wonderful for anyone who knows Chris to see. She is besotted, too, things are moving very fast."

Chris and JoJo, of course, met on Celebrity Big Brother and formed an unlikely friendship. However, it soon blossomed to more and there is talk that JoJo might make a move to the UK to be with Chris.

"This is the problem when they get an American to take part in a British reality show. People get together but they live so far from one another and it is hard. There is a bit of a dilemma here," the insider told the Mail Online.

"Does Chris move to the States or does JoJo come here? They know they are going to have to make a decision at some point because the thought of being apart from one another for too long is terrifying for them."

JoJo has also been forced to hit back at claims that her relationship with Chris is a publicity stunt. Speaking last month, she said: "I’m sure it’s no secret to people, I am in a lovely relationship with a sweet boy named Christopher Hughes."

In another interview, she added: "It’s not platonic anymore, and it’s been a beautiful development, a beautiful connection, and I’m absolutely head over heels for him and he’s the same way.”

When asked about if it was for PR purposes, she hit back: "Clearly, you’ve never been around us. I won’t ever speak for him, but for me personally, the happiness in my life just radiates off of me right now." She added: "Literally yesterday, I was massaging my cheeks; I’ve never been in pain from smiling so much."
