“We make it 7/1 for Hughes to get his own reality TV show whilst starting a relationship with CBB housemate Jojo Siwa seems more likely at 6/1.”
Chris made headlines when he grew close to fellow CBB housemate and US singer JoJo Siwa.
The pair caused controversy with their flirtatious back and forth on the show with JoJo having a partner on the outside.
They fuelled romance rumours with their touchy-feely friendship and late-night bedtime chats.

JoJo and Chris claimed they were "platonic soulmates" amid speculation on the outside - but didn't reject the suggestion there could be romance further down the line.
