Celebrity Big Brother star Chris Hughes is reportedly being lined up for Celebs Go Dating.

After model Christine McGuinness quit the new series of the E4 reality show just days after jetting out to film in Ibiza, the former Love Island star is said to be stepping in.

There have been weeks of speculation about his close bond with CBB housemate JoJo Siwa, and now Chris, 32, could be joining the dating show after a few years being single.

‘This is set to be a great coup for Celebs Go Dating,’ a source told The Sun.

‘The agents will be eager to get to know the real truth about Chris and what he is looking for following his connection with JoJo.’

Christine had been filming the programme in Ibiza, but got overwhelmed with the attention on her love life following her divorce from Paddy McGuinness.

She said in a statement: ‘I joined Celebs Go Dating with great intentions but have realised that dating on a public platform and the attention that brings is just too soon for me.

‘They’ve said the door is always open for me, which I’m so grateful for, but for now I’m returning home to my family.’
