Trisha Goddard has given her opinion on Chris Hughes and JoJo Siwa’s ‘close relationship’ in the Celebrity Big Brother house during an interview on ITV’s Loose Women

Trisha Goddard has addressed Chris Hughes and JoJo Siwa’s ‘close relationship’ in the Celebrity Big Brother house. The TV host appeared on Loose Women today for her first interview since being evicted from the house, and revealed that Chris had “made a beeline for Ella” when he first entered the show.

Denise Welch wasn’t holding back as she asked Trisha whether Chris fancied JoJo. Trisha hesitated as she responded: “Does a barnacle fancy the rock to which it’s connected?”

She continued: “When Chris first came into the house he made a beeline for Ella. Ella is a very very pretty girl and what have you. Then JoJo came in with her energy and I felt for Ella because suddenly it was [head whips]. And it’s very very intense.”

Asked by Kaye Adams whether she thought Chris had a game plan, Trisha responded: “I mean, she’s 21 and he’s 31. And I said to him: ‘I know you’re 31 it says that on your passport but you’re actually, if I’m being generous, 19’.”

Trisha then went on to talk about JoJo’s level of fame over in the US, explaining how she can’t do anything without security.

The chat show icon revealed: “In the house, unexpectedly I think she found a freedom to be a kid, to be a child. She’s 21, she had an old head on young shoulders because of the business side. But on the other side she was very, very young.”

Fans have been intrigued by Chris and JoJo’s close relationship. The pair are inseparable in the house and have even been seen cuddling and tickling each other’s backs in bed.

At the beginning of this week, JoJo was seen writing a secret message on Chris’ hand at night. The pair were then later punished for breaking one of Big Brother’s fundamental rules and were forced to speak only through a mega phone until further notice.

It’s not the first time Trisha has spoken out about Chris and JoJo’s friendship. During an interview on Late and Live she told hosts AJ Odudu and Will Best: “I think there are lots of different reasons why people form alliances.

“I had a talk with Chris after that and Chris is a 31-year-old man in a 19-year-old’s body, he admitted that. He and JoJo have really connected.” She added JoJo could be “free” in the house and be herself, and that she and Chris “clicked”.
