Chris Hughes lined up for huge new Big Brother job – and JoJo Siwa could be joining him

CHRIS Hughes is lined up to host the Big Brother visualised podcast when the show returns this year.

The former Love Island star, 33, found love with dancer JoJo Siwa, 23,  in the Celebrity Big Brother house last year.

It follows the cancellation of live spin-off show Big Brother Late & Live after three series last Autumn. 

A source said: “Chris is super popular online and bosses know he would be a ratings winner.

“He and JoJo have a legion of fans and have become part of the special group of people who have found love in the house.

“ITV has seen the success of the Love Island podcast this year and want to replicate that with Big Brother.”

They added: “JoJo is currently tied up with other commitments but would be welcome on to the show should the dates work for her.”

Back in November, The Sun revealed how spin-off Late and Live had been axed after three years.

The spin-off previously aired straight after the main show and saw presenters Will Best and AJ Odudu discuss the house antics with an audience of fans, a panelist of celeb guests and axed housemates.

TV sources shared how the decision was made after the show’s ratings had dropped.

Assuring that it wasn’t a reflection on hosts AJ and Will, they said: ITV still loves Will and AJ and think they are the right people to host the main show.”
