Alison Hammond's comment on JoJo Siwa and Chris Hughes: sparking a storm online
This Morning's Alison Hammond stirred up some controversy with her recent comment about JoJo Siwa's relationship with Chris Hughes. After JoJo set things straight about her friendship with Chris, fans weren't too pleased with Alison's remark, calling it "crass."
JoJo Siwa and Chris Hughes first caught everyone's eye when they appeared together on reality TV's hit show, Celebrity Big Brother. Their cozy moments, which included kissing and hugging, got people talking, mainly because Chris, at 32, was ten years older than JoJo. At that time, JoJo was dating 27-year-old Australian influencer Kath Ebbs, but they've since parted ways.
Chris Hughes and JoJo Siwa on live television
During a live segment on Monday's episode, Alison Hammond and her co-host, Paddy McGuiness, chatted with Chris Hughes, who was reporting live from Bexhill. Chris was there interviewing Barby Keel, a 90-year-old woman who runs an animal sanctuary.
Before Chris signed off, Alison and Paddy introduced JoJo Siwa, who had just been on another morning show, where she once again clarified that Chris wasn't her boyfriend.
When JoJo saw Chris on screen, she excitedly shouted, “Hey Christopher!” Chris couldn't hide his delight and replied, “That's my Jo, I know that voice. It just gives you a morning energy boost, I tell ya, just what I needed!”
Paddy McGuiness joined in with a playful jab, saying, “Can I just ask, how do you know JoJo gives you energy in every morning? What's going on here? Hello! Hashtag awkward.”
Alison dives deeper
Clearly intrigued, Alison chimed in, “Honestly, I'm so caught up in you two. I don't care what anyone says, I need details. I love this little relationship; it seems beautiful! But seriously, what are things like between you and Chris right now?”
JoJo hesitated a moment before admitting, “He really stands out as one my favorite people in this whole wide, crazy, wonderful planet.” That's when Alison jumped in with, “With benefits.” The phrase “friends with benefits” typically hints at a non-committed, intimate relationship.
JoJo, ever composed, continued expressing how much joy Chris brings her.
Social media reacts
Alison Hammond's comment didn't go unnoticed, with social media ablaze in response. One fan tweeted, “I love a good joke and all, but that was a crass comment by Alison re JoJo and Chris.” Another chimed in, “Leave JoJo alone. That was uncalled-for Alison #ThisMorning.”
Some folks are just tired out by all this speculation. A comment read, “WHY would anyone be invested in that JoJo Siwa & Chris stuff?” Another fan sighed, “Please stop this JoJo & Chris segment.” Someone else found it downright “nauseating,” urging ITV and This Morning, “Drop it, it's not cute, it just embarrasses everyone.”
JoJo's on-stage surprise adds fuel
The rumor mill revved up even more when JoJo mixed up lyrics during a gig in Mexico. In a twist, while singing Kim Carnes' classic "Bette Davis Eyes," JoJo cheekily sang “Chris Hughes' eyes” instead, sending relationship rumors flying once again.
