Reprising her move from her performance in Mexico, JoJo changed the lyrics at the end of the song to ‘Chris Hughes’ eyes,’ sparking a huge cheer from the fans in attendance.

Footage streamed on TikTok then showed a beaming Chris laughing at the crowd’s reaction, before blowing JoJo a kiss.

The singer then confessed she needed to ‘stop smiling’ as she prepared to perform her next song, Guilty Pleasure.

Despite frenzied speculation around her relationship with Chris, JoJo was noticeably coy when grilled about their bond in Monday’s Lorraine.

Lorraine’s step-in host Andi Peters asked the star if they have had a chat, similar to how they do in Love Island, to make themselves ‘exclusive’.

JoJo laughed at the question and said: ‘Chris and I have had a lot of chats. 

‘We’ve never gone into the kitchen and the head is turning, we’ve never had that version. He’s the best man.’

JoJo and Chris were reunited on Sunday when she jetted to the UK, with the former Love Island seen waiting to greet her with a bouquet of roses. 

During her show, JoJo confessed she’d ‘learned a lot’ about Sunderland from Chris, with the star celebrating the team’s promotion to the Premier League on Saturday

Shortly after their reunion, Chris then shared a glimpse into the pair’s ‘perfect’ chilled night in as they watched Shrek and tucked into two large pizzas. 

Chris simply wrote: ‘Perfect Sunday’, followed by a smiley face emoji. 

The reality star later snapped a picture enjoying a cup of tea in bed with a chocolate pudding and a Dairy Milk chocolate bar. 

Just 30 minutes after JoJo’s interview on Lorraine, the star surprised Chris live on This Morning during his segment at an animal sanctuary. 

JoJo stood in the studio alongside Alison Hammond and Paddy McGuinness and spoke to Chris.

He exclaimed: ‘That’s my Joelle, I know that voice, that’s the voice that gives you energy in the morning.’

The pair chatted and revealed JoJo would be visiting the Cotswolds next week to meet his family. 

Alison asked JoJo: ‘I’m so invested in you and Chris, I’m loving this little relationship but just for the record, what is your relationship status with Chris?’

Earlier this week the pair couldn’t keep their hands off each other in new snaps uploaded by the singer – after ‘confirming’ that they are together with a kissing pool snap

‘I will say he is up there as one of my favourite people in the entire world, he makes me happier than I think I’ve ever been, he makes me feel so full as me, he’s a really good one who has been the most incredible addition to my life,’ JoJo gushed.

Over the weekend JoJo revealed she was missing Chris – just days after the couple were spotted sharing a kiss during a romantic, adults-only getaway in Mexico. 

The American dancer shared a cosy black-and-white pH๏τo of the pair strolling along a street together, with Chris wrapping one arm around her shoulder.

Posting the pH๏τo to her Instagram Stories, she captioned it: ‘Just a lil longer’ alongside a love heart emoji.  

Last week, the pair appeared to ‘confirm’ their romance after jetting to Florida with JoJo’s family to celebrate her 22nd birthday, as they were spotted kissing in a swimming pool.

It comes after on Saturday JoJo’s love life took a surprising new direction as she reportedly believes Chris is ‘the one’ and sees a long-term future with him.

A source exclusively told DailyMail.com that JoJo believes Chris would make ‘a tremendous father.’

JoJo — who recently declared she no longer identifies as a lesbian — is ‘telling people that Chris is the one in a dramatic twist in the way she has lived her life over the last few years,’ the insider said. 

‘She feels more alive than she ever has been with anyone else. With Chris, she realized that this is exactly what she has wanted for so long.’

The insider confirmed the romance, stating: ‘The rumours are true, they are a thing and it is going very well.’

More than just a fleeting romance, JoJo sees a long-term future with the reality star.

‘Another thing she has wanted for so long is children. And she feels that Chris would be a tremendous father if they decided to go down that route.’

The source added, ‘Things are happening at a breakneck pace to the outside eye, but to them it is going at a pace that feels absolutely right.’

Earlier this week the pair couldn’t keep their hands off each other in new snaps uploaded by the singer – after ‘confirming’ that they are together with a kissing pool snap.

On Wednesday, JoJo shared intimate snaps with Chris to her Instagram page as they spent time together on her special day. 

He treated her to a mountain of birthday presents, they enjoyed breakfast together on the morning of her big day and one snap even showed Chris with his hand high up on JoJo’s leg.

She penned in the caption: ‘This years birthday week was more magical than anything!

‘Full of surprises, family time, performing, chilling, laughing, loving, smiling, and good meaningful cries.

‘Absolutely beautiful, wouldn’t change a single thing a week I’ll remember for the rest of my life.’
