JoJo Siwa shared an adorable on-stage tribute to Chris Hughes as she took to the stage for her first show in London on Monday. The singer, 22, and Love Island star, 32, have set tongues wagging with their close bond, and they enjoyed a passionate reunion at the airport when JoJo flew to the UK on Sunday. And as JoJo performed her first of two shows at Colours Hoxton, she revealed a sweet nod to Chris, who was watching on from the back with her parents, Jessalynn and Tom Siwa. The Dance Moms star revealed a rhinestone-covered Sunderland football shirt, the team Chris supports, after they were promoted to the Premier League on Saturday , telling the crowd: 'This is for somebody special who's here tonight.' Earlier in the show, JoJo also shared an adorable nod to Chris as she performed a cover of the Kim Carnes hit Bette Davies' Eyes.

Reprising her move from her performance in Mexico, JoJo changed the lyrics at the end of the song to 'Chris Hughes' eyes,' sparking a huge cheer from the fans in attendance. Footage streamed on TikTok then showed a beaming Chris laughing at the crowd's reaction, before blowing JoJo a kiss. The singer then confessed she needed to 'stop smiling' as she prepared to perform her next song, Guilty Pleasure. Despite frenzied speculation around her relationship with Chris, JoJo was noticeably coy when grilled about their bond in Monday's Lorraine. Lorraine's step-in host Andi Peters asked the star if they have had a chat, similar to how they do in Love Island, to make themselves 'exclusive'. JoJo laughed at the question and said: 'Chris and I have had a lot of chats. 'We've never gone into the kitchen and the head is turning, we've never had that version. He's the best man.' JoJo and Chris were reunited on Sunday when she jetted to the UK, with the former Love Island seen waiting to greet her with a bouquet of roses. Shortly after their reunion, Chris then shared a glimpse into the pair's 'perfect' chilled night in as they watched Shrek and tucked into two large pizzas. Chris simply wrote: 'Perfect Sunday', followed by a smiley face emoji. The reality star later snapped a picture enjoying a cup of tea in bed with a chocolate pudding and a Dairy Milk chocolate bar. Just 30 minutes after JoJo's interview on Lorraine, the star surprised Chris live on This Morning during his segment at an animal sanctuary. JoJo stood in the studio alongside Alison Hammond and Paddy McGuinness and spoke to Chris. He exclaimed: 'That's my Joelle, I know that voice, that's the voice that gives you energy in the morning.' The pair chatted and revealed JoJo would be visiting the Cotswolds next week to meet his family. 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?'
