It wasn't long until Chris and JoJo became official, and despite living across the Atlantic, they're relationship has been going from strength to strength. So strong, that JoJo recently revealed that her brother had asked Chris to be a groomsman at his upcoming wedding.

Fans were left in shock by the unlikely pairing, but no one was more shocked than host Will Best.

Speaking about the relationship between the pair in a chat with the Mirror and other press, Will said: "Some of them really come out of no where. And I even thought they were going to go nowhere," in reference JoJo and Chris.

"It turns out they have gone somewhere!," he exclaimed, as AJ added: "They've gone to a wedding together recently."

"They'll be going to their own flipping wedding in a minute, I wouldn't be surprised!", Will added.

However, Will insists that it's not part of ITV's plan to create love stories – they just happen. He said: "It's so unplanned. ITV have a very successful very well known show based around people in a house dating.

"They're not desperate to have a love story, they come out of nowhere! Some of them really come out of no where."

Will added: "I don't know what it is, but when you put people that have been carefully chosen into such an extreme environment, there's going to be extreme reactions, and I guess it makes sense that those reactions are romantic."

Chris and JoJo aren't the only love story created by the show since moving to ITV in 2023.

During the first civilian series, fans watched Jordan Sangha and Henry Southan's unlikely love story unfold. The pair stayed together for over a year beforesadly calling it quits at the start of the year.

But will there be yet another love story this series? Here's to hoping!
