Chris Hughes’ brother Ben reveals if the star will stay in contact with JoJo Siwa after Celebrity Big Brother amid their very close bond and slams accusations of ‘game playing’

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.

During the latest episode Chris has backed claims Ella Rae Wise is ‘jealous’ of JoJo  during the show’s latest chaotic shopping task,

TOWIE star Ella, 24, has seemingly had her nose put out of joint amid her rivals incredibly close friendship blossoming in the house with tensions slowly boiling.

In the task, which saw the housemates become a family, Chris took a swipe at Ella with fans branding her ‘two faced’ as she chose JoJo as her least favourite housemate and the biggest game player. 

Taking to the diary room, the furious former Love Island star was quick to stick up for his new friend as he accused Ella of being ‘jealous’ of his and JoJo’s ‘matching energies’.

He said: ‘She isn’t sweet on JoJo so there might be a jealously thing there I don’t know, she likes to have her two pence worth and if she’s out of a conversation she wants to be in it.’

Chris also took a swipe at Ella earlier in the task when he told her to ‘use her brain’ while they tried to memorise a dance as toddlers in Big Brother’s nursery.
