"They spent their time at the hotel holding hands and looked like a giddy couple in the early throes of love. It was nice to see. They were very hands on, not entirely different to how they were on TV just a bit more intimate.

“JoJo seemed totally relaxed, really in love and not in any way the JoJo we see when she’s on stage. They’re just totally comfortable around each other."

When asked how they would describe and define the connection, JoJo gushed: "You kind of can't define it, it's very special." To which Chris agreed: "Yeah, I would struggle to describe it. If you want adjectives, I'd go for....." C before laughing it off and saying: "Oh.... why am I speechless. What is going on. God."

Chris then told the presenters that he went to watch one of JoJo's recent shows in Mexico and called it 'pretty cool' before confirming that the Dance Moms star would be jetting back to London to spend more time with him amid ongoing rumours that the pair are romantically involved.
