A lighthearted disagreement unfolded within the Celebrity Big Brother house after Chris Hughes attempted to justify his choice of dining companion for a Chinese takeout, prompting JoJo Siwa to playfully correct him.
Following an announcement that Chris Hughes, Trisha Goddard, and Danny Beard could redeem their initial rewards, Hughes opted for a lavish Chinese feast. After selecting eleven dishes, Big Brother allowed him to invite one housemate to share the meal. Initially expressing his desire to include JoJo Siwa, citing his wish for her to experience “a proper British Chinese,” he then pivoted to suggesting Jack P Shepherd due to concerns about Shepherd’s stress surrounding a potential eviction.
Hughes approached Shepherd with the offer, explaining, “Mr. Platt, Big Brother asked me to name one person to share my Chinese with. I went with my head and not my heart, and you look stressed. It’s a feast of eleven dishes; it could be your last night.”
Upon Siwa’s arrival in the kitchen, she playfully questioned Hughes’ decision, remarking on his choice to exclude her from the celebratory meal.
Hughes attempted to clarify his reasoning, stating, “You know I love you—they said you get to have one person for a Chinese and 99 percent of my head and heart wanted to choose you.”
Siwa swiftly interjected with a humorous, “But the other one percent made you not choose me. I’ll remember that. Congratulations, you deserve it. It means I get a little two-hour break to do my hair in peace.”
As Hughes sought further explanation outside, he likened the situation to having an extra ticket to a football game and being told someone wanted to attend. Siwa immediately responded with a firm, “I am not your girlfriend.” Hughes quickly conceded, adding that while his decision was primarily logical rather than emotional, he noticed Shepherd appeared stressed.
Siwa reassured him of her acceptance but playfully warned, “Look, I’m glad you came and told me; it’s fine, but I will remember this.”
The exchange sparked reactions from viewers who praised Siwa for establishing clear boundaries. Some comments included:
- “Okay, this isn’t Love Island babes.”
- “Well damn, not Chris ‘pulling JoJo for a chat’ it’s not that deep.”
- “Chris already making hypothetical about Jojo being his gf. Okayyyyyy.”
Others observed the dynamic between Hughes and Siwa, with one user stating, “THEY’RE FRIENDS! He was like this with Kem just not as touchy.”
