This Morning fans swiped ‘he’s trying too hard’ as Chris Hughes bagged a brand new hosting role and wasted no time bringing up JoJo Siwa. 

The reality TV star, 32, left the Celebrity Big Brother house on Friday in sixth place and has already started a new venture. 

Chris hosted a ‘win some dosh’ segment on Thursday’s instalment of the ITV show.

Based in Weston-super-Mare, Chris got members of the public involved in completing light-hearted challenges to win cash. 

At one point, someone wore a mask of JoJo Siwa’s face and Chris commented: ‘JoJo Siwa, the legend.’

However, the segment wasn’t well received by some viewers who took to social media to share their thoughts.

‘Jojo the legend??? Omg this guy #thismorning.’

While some were pleased to see Chris and commented: ‘So glad it’s Chris who is giving away money…’ 

During the segment, Chris proved to be a good sport and participated in the ice bucket challenge trend. 

He sat down while a member of the public tipped a bucket of ice and water over his head and then proceeded to nominate hosts Cat Deeley and Ben Shephard to also participate who completed the challenge at the end of the show.

Chris made headlines over the close friendship he formed with American star JoJo during their time in the Big Brother house. 

They appeared together on This Morning on Monday and opened up about their тιԍнт bond. 

The celebrity housemates and viewers were left confused as to what was going on with the pair after Chris, who is straight, and JoJo, was in a relationship at the time.

To add to the speculation, Dance Moms star JoJo then dumped her partner Kath Ebbs, 27, at the CBB wrap party on Friday night after finishing in third place. 

Addressing the speculation on This Morning, JoJo confirmed that they have parted ways and went on to say about her friendship with Chris: ‘Obviously we’re close.’ 

Chris added: ‘Our friendship is, it’s hard to explain. It’s just a really strong bond. A strong friendship. You can have a soul mate friendship. I think that’s a thing.’

Ben asked if she wanted anything more, to which JoJo said: ‘Look, he’s a great guy. It’s platonic. We have a lot of fun together. I don’t know the future, whatever life does, it will do.’

JoJo also revealed more details about her split from former partner Kath Ebbs.

‘Honestly when I went into the house, day one was fun, day two fun, but then day three I was in my own thoughts, away from everyone I know and outside opinions.

‘I sat with myself and really realised things I was okay with in my life I never should have been okay with. So many things.

‘Obviously I wanted to hold them inside, didn’t want to air it out publicly. There were things I knew I shouldn’t be okay with and I’m not happy.

‘I knew as soon as I got out I wanted to fix things and make the changes I needed to make.

‘The first thing you want to do is exactly what you need to make it as good as you can.’ 

Recounting how the pair ended things at the show’s wrap party, she elaborated: ‘I’ll be honest, that was not a plan or my intention. It wasn’t supposed to happen like that. 

‘They weren’t going to come, then an hour into the party they attended, one thing lead to another, they asked if I was happy and I said no. The conversation took place there.’
