JoJo admitted to Andi Peters, who is filling in for Lorraine Kelly, that Chris is the “best” person she’s met in a long time.
Andi asked the star if they were “exclusive”, a reference to Love Island terminology, where a couple become closed off to one aother.
Discussing her friendship with Chris, Andi asked: “Your boyfriend?”
JoJo laughingly replied: “No… It’s so funny to me how straight up people get nowadays!”
Referencing Chris’ time on Love Island, Andi asked if Chris had the ‘exclusive chat’ with her yet: “Has he had that chat with you yet?”
JoJo responded: “Christopher and I have had a lot of chats… We have never gone into the kitchen and said, ‘My head’s not turning in anyway.’”
Andi jokingly said: “He’s letting us down there!”
JoJo replied: “Chris is doing the furthest thing besides letting us down, he couldn’t let me down even if he tried, couldn’t let anybody down, he’s the best man.”
Talking about her recent birthday celebrations, JoJo revealed Chris surprised her by flying to Orlando, Florida to be with her: “It was beautiful, I got to be with my family in Orlando.
“He actually was with me, Christopher was, and he got to spend time with my family which was beautiful. I wasn’t aware that he was coming, it was a surprise.”
Now in the UK to promote her new single and London shows, JoJo spoke about how Chris surprised her at the airport with flowers: “He was like, ‘I want to come pick you up’ and I was like, ‘Alright, I love that.’ He was really worried because I landed early and he was like, ‘I’m not going to be there, take your time because I really want to be there waiting for you,’ it was very sweet.”
JoJo spoke about the flowers Chris gave her at the airport: “They were discount flowers and there’s this adorable clip of him, and it melts my heart and makes me so happy, of him peeling off the sticker right as I’m coming.
“What’s even better now is I think everybody deserves to know that those flowers exist in a blender bottle, on his table.”
“He’s the best.”
JoJo then shortly later appeared on ITV’s This Morning with Alison Hammond and Paddy McGuinness.
JoJo surprised Chris live on the show, as he filmed a special segment at Barby Keel Animal Sanctuary.
He gushed: “That’s my Joelle, I know that voice, that’s the voice that gives you energy in the morning.
“Let me tell you, it’s just what I needed today.”
Paddy jokingly asked: “How do you know JoJo gives you energy in the morning, what’s going on here?”
Chris replied: “I did see her in the morning, every morning for about three weeks on [Celebrity] Big Brother… Paddy, if you want to see a face in the morning to give you energy and wake you up, she’s the perfect one so we wouldn’t change it for the world.”
JoJo responded: “The sweetest boy.”
When JoJo asked how Chris was doing on the farm, Chris revealed JoJo will be visiting the Cotswolds to spend time with his family: “This takes me back to the Cotswolds which you’re going to come to with me next week to see the family.
“Next week we have some time off, she’s taking some Chris time, ‘Christopher time’ as she calls it and we’re going to have a lovely time together.”
Alison asked JoJo: ‘I’m so invested in you and Chris, I’m loving this little relationship but just for the record, what is your relationship status with Chris?’
JoJo shared: “I will say he is up there as one of my favourite people in the entire world, he makes me happier than I think I’ve ever been, he makes me feel so full as me, he’s a really good one who has been the most incredible addition to my life.”
Not realising Chris was still able to hear her, Chris replied: “We can all hear it, it’s absolutely stunning.”
JoJo continued: “My point is, he’s just the best and I’m very, very lucky to get to be around him often.”
Despite keeping tightlipped on her relationship status, JoJo and Chris appeared to confirm they’re an item after they were spotted kissing in a swimming pool last week.
The Celebrity Big Brother pair have become inseparable since their stint in the ITV house, with Jojo flying back to the UK to be with Chris after their romantic trip in the States.
With Chris looking loved up as he greeted Jojo with flowers at the airport, the pair were seen hugging and holding hands as they made their way through the terminal.
The couple then whisked themselves away to his home for a “perfect Sunday” which Chris shared snippets of on Instagram.
Among the photos, Chris shared a photograph of two pizzas, with the pair sitting on the sofa watching Shrek together.
Jojo also followed suit while at the airport, posting a picture of Chris with her mother Jessalynn, declaring them “My [heart].”
Since leaving Celebrity Big Brother last month, the pair remained in contact and over the last two weeks have been jet-setting together.
Chris joined Jojo and her family and friends for her birthday, with the pair partying in Mexico before heading to Orlando, Florida, for the launch of Universal’s Epic Celestial Carpet Opening Celebration.
Photos later revealed the pair were kissing each other while playing in a hotel pool in Orlando.
The insider told The Sun: “JoJo and Chris looked very loved-up and as they snogged in full view of other holidaymakers.
“They spent their time at the hotel holding hands and looked like a giddy couple in the early throes of love. It was nice to see.
“They were very hands on, not entirely different to how they were on TV just a bit more intimate.
“JoJo seemed totally relaxed, really in love and not in any way the JoJo we see when she’s on stage. They’re just totally comfortable around each other.”
Despite their loved-up display at the hotel, the duo have been dodging questions about the status of their relationship.
JoJo, who declared herself the ‘CEO of gay pop’ split from her partner Kath Ebbs at the CBB after-party after spending 19 days in the house – where she had grown close to Chris.
Jojo had praised her love for Kath during her time in the house, who she had been dating for four months, and came out as gay back in 2021.
However, over the course of the show, she noted she had become confused – both with her gender, thinking she may be non-binary, and her sexuality, admitting she preferred the term ‘queer’ rather than lesbian.
