Chris Hughes’ brother Ben has revealed if he believed that his sibling will ‘absolutely’ remain friends with JoJo Siwa after they leave Celebrity Big Brother.
The duo have set tongues wagging amid their blossoming connection, with Chris even branding her his ‘girlfriend’ despite JoJo already having a partner, with housemates and viewers alike concluding Chris’ interest in JoJo was disingenuous and branding him a ‘game player’
During Sunday’s Late & Live Ben was just one of the celeb’s family members to phone in and he quickly come to the defence of his beloved brother.
When asked if Chris and JoJo would remain friends he said: ‘Absolutely, I think their friendship has actually threatened the other housemates a little but which we have started to see’.
‘I’ve also said all the way though that they have shown a similar sense of humour and energy which Chris has repeated the words I have been using in the Diary Room during tonight’s episode, so i do think they will remain friends’.
Hitting back at accusations Chris was a ‘game player’ he took a swipe at guest and former housemate Tiffany Pollard saying: ‘I do think he can hold his head high and continue being himself, it’s not an act despite what tiffany may think’.

Earlier in the episode Angellica Bell, 49, once again took a swipe at Chris during the latest task – days after ‘exposed’ his game plan.
When asked who was the biggest game player, she quickly opted for the former Love Island star saying: ‘I’m going to say Chris because he has been in a reality show before and he’s quite good at assessing situations and assessing people and working a room’.
She previously speculated that he may be playing a strategic game in order to win the series.
Reflecting on the karaoke night, she said: ‘It’s great having moments where we can all let our hair down, and enjoy ourselves.
‘And you sort of forget it’s a game, and you can see it. It’s not that people are mean or anything, but as we get further in the game, I am paying more attention.
‘I think Chris is clever, he knows how to win friends and influence. He just knows what to do, or how to say things,’ she added.
