"During their time on CBB the pair were faced with insults from disgraced housemate Mickey Rourke, whose inappropriate comments led to him being removed from the house. In one episode, The Wrestler star Rourke suggested to "Karma" singer Siwa that he would be able to turn her straight. After she rebuffed his insinuation, he then told Hughes that he will be "vote the lesbian out real quick". Hughes was extremely compassionate towards Siwa following the incident, ensuring she was never without a warm embrace."
"In an Instagram post shared in October to mark their first red carpet together, Hughes called out the culture of bullying in reference to the abuse Siwa faces. Siwa responded, writing: "Thank you, baby. Beautiful week with you." Siwa even began changing the lyrics from "Bette Davis Eyes" to "Chris Hughes' Eyes" while performing her cover on tour, meaning much of the LGBTQ+ community was belting out his name."
Chris Hughes is 33 and celebrates his birthday on 22 December, sharing the date with Meghan Trainor and Chris Olsen. He is a horse racing pundit and former Love Island and Celebrity Big Brother contestant who also appeared on Celebrity MasterChef. Hughes dates JoJo Siwa, whom he met on Celebrity Big Brother, and has become prominent within the LGBTQ+ community for his support of her. He publicly defended Siwa after Mickey Rourke's insulting comments and consistently provided comfort and protection. Hughes called out bullying on social media, and Siwa honored him by altering song lyrics during performances.
