Olivia Attwood has broken her silence on her ex-boyfriend Chris Hughes' close relationship with JoJo Siwa in the Celebrity Big Brother house.
The former Love Island star, who dated Hughes after they met on the show in 2017, has shared her thoughts on the pair's growing bond that has set tongues wagging.
Hughes and Siwa have struck up an incredibly close friendship since entering the house, with viewers becoming increasingly confused about the nature of their relationship.
The duo have been seen cuddling in bed, holding hands and even developing a secret sign language, which has now landed them in trouble with Big Brother.
LATEST DEVELOPMENTS:
Speaking on KISS Breakfast with Pete Wicks, Attwood revealed she hasn't been watching the show directly due to her early morning starts.
"I'm consuming it through TikTok. I'm getting tagged in thousands because obviously, Chris Hughes and I used to date," she explained.
"I mean we're going back like six, seven years ago but we did."
Despite not tuning in live, Attwood has been keeping up with her ex's antics through social media.
She shared that Hughes is "having a big storyline on the show" with his "very close friendship with JoJo Siwa."
The reality star noted that while Siwa "has a girlfriend" and they are "just friends at the moment," some clips have caught her attention.
"Some of the clips look a little bit... it looks like, I don't know, like there could be something," Attwood admitted.
She pointed out that internet opinion is divided on the relationship.

"I guess it's how you interpret it - yes, the internet is going two ways. The internet is going there's something there, there could be feelings from one side or both."
However, she also highlighted the alternative theory circulating online.
"There's another side of the internet that's going is Chris being smart? She's got a lot of followers, she's very famous."
This suggestion that Hughes might be strategically forming a bond with Siwa due to her celebrity status has fuelled further speculation.
When co-host Pete Wicks brought up the megaphone rule after Hughes and Siwa were told off for speaking secretly, Attwood didn't hold back.
"Oh god. And they both already do. That is gonna cause friction in the house," she quipped.
Wicks added: "Chris Hughes through a megaphone - that's the ratings going down for a little bit."
The pair have now been scolded for their clandestine communication and ordered to speak through a microphone if they want to chat to one another.
Attwood took to social media with a one-word response, sarcastically captioning a screenshot of Kiss' schedule set to discuss Hughes and Siwa: "Perfect", alongside three laughing emojis.
In Monday's episode, viewers saw Siwa writing a secret message to Hughes on his hand, breaking the show's rules by communicating in code.
Big Brother revealed to the housemates: "At 1:59am in the bedroom, JoJo wrote messages on Chris' hand in secret. Chris gave JoJo his hand and said, 'you can write it out'."
Siwa then reportedly wrote on Hughes' hand and said "It makes sense, think about it."
The incident prompted Big Brother to issue a punishment, announcing they could only speak through megaphones.
