More recently, the latest Celebrity Big Brother series took the world by storm when it aired earlier this year, when Coronation Street’s Jack P Shepherd took home the crown just months before his lavish wedding to Hanni Treweek.
However, it wasn’t Jack who stole the show, infact, it was former Love Island star Chris Hughes and JoJo Siwa. The pair struck up an extremely close friendship – although they insisted they were just that. As soon as they left the famous house, JoJo broke up with her partner Kath Ebbs and she shortly went public with Chris.
It’s not uncommon for those in the house to begin a romantic relationship, with Jordan Sangha and Henry Southan, striking up a relationship during the 2023 series.
However, the couple announced their shock split in April, as Henry shared a statement which read: “After a lot of thought, Jordan and I have decided to go our separate ways. “It’s incredible sad, and we’re both hurting, but we know it’s the right step. We’re so grateful for the love and support you’ve shown us – thank you.”
Henry added: “Please give us some space as we figure things out privately.”
Jordan also shared his own statement as he sadly wrote: “An unfortunate announcement. After many times, memories, and precious experience, Henry and I have parted ways.
“I want to than everyone who has supported us. We will always remain close friends. Cheers x.”
