Olivia Attwood has spoken out about Chris Hughes’ very close relationship with his buddy JoJo Siwa. The duo have landed themselves in hot water for sharing secret messages on Celebrity Big Brother – as fans can’t get over their ‘ weird ’ bond.

Olivia, 33, and Chris, 32, started dating when they met on Love Island in 2017, and went on to reach fourth place before calling it quits on the outside a year later.

While it’s been a few years since they were together, Olivia has kept a close eye on Chris’ antics in the Big Brother house, and spoke about the drama with buddy Pete Wicks on their KISS radio show.

The I’m a Celebrity star said of the JoJo speculation: “I’m getting tagged in thousands because obviously Chris and I used to date – we’re going back like six or seven years but we did.”

Olivia then shared her own theories on the relationship between Chris and JoJo, saying that the “clips look like there could be something there.” She cryptically added: “I guess it’s how you interpret it.”

She then bolstered the rumour that Chris might have ulterior motives, saying: “The internet is going two ways – the internet is going that there’s something there, there might be feelings from one side or the other. The other side of the internet is asking is Chris playing the game – she has a lot of followers, she’s very famous…’

In tonight’s episode, tensions are high in the house as Big Brother outs JoJo and Chris’ secret messaging, revealing to the housemates: “At 1:59am in the bedroom, JoJo wrote messages on Chris’ hand in secret. Chris gave JoJo his hand and said, ‘you can write it out’. JoJo then wrote on Chris’ hand and said ‘It makes sense, think about it.'”

The close pals were served a punishment of only talking through megaphones to avoid more secrets, but the other housemates don’t think the punishment is fitting.

“I told you they’ve been having secret conversations,” Ella-Rae Wise said, while Daley Thompson raged: “But that’s not a punishment, that’s a punishment for us. They’re laughing because they’re annoying us.”

While the housemates were fuming to hear JoJo and Chris dominate attention with megaphones, fans at home have been more focused on figuring out what their secret message was.

On X, formerly known as Twitter, one fan speculated: “She spells out ‘HOT’ he was surprised why she was on the floor I think she was trying to tell him she’s too hot.”

Another fan said: “JoJo could have noticed how Ella has been acting towards Chris and was telling him, and spelling it out so nobody would hear.” Meanwhile, many others thought it was some form of declaration of love for Chris.
