Following the news that Chris will be appearing on the next series of Celebs Go Dating, Gambling News have tipped the reality TV star to head into the jungle later this year.
The former Love Island star is now 4/1 to appear on the next season of I’m a Celeb.
Jose Del Pozo, spokesperson for Gambling News, said: “Chris Hughes has wasted no time since leaving the Celebrity Big Brother house filling in for Christine McGuinness on the next series of Celebs Go Dating, and we think a trip to the Jungle later this year is on the cards.
“We’ve priced Hughes at 4/1 to make an appearance on I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! later this year, with stints on Strictly Come Dancing (5/1) and Celebrity Masterchef (8/1) possibilities also.
“We make it 7/1 for Hughes to get his own reality TV show whilst starting a relationship with CBB housemate Jojo Siwa seems more likely at 6/1.”
Chris made headlines when he grew close to fellow CBB housemate and US singer JoJo Siwa.
The pair caused controversy with their flirtatious back and forth on the show with JoJo having a partner on the outside.
They fuelled romance rumours with their touchy-feely friendship and late-night bedtime chats.
JoJo, who admitted her time in the house made her realise she was no longer a lesbian, then split from her partner Kath Ebbs on the finale night.
JoJo and Chris claimed they were “platonic soulmates” amid speculation on the outside – but didn’t reject the suggestion there could be romance further down the line.
The pair are already eyeing up plans to sign a big money deal that will see them work together on a new TV project.
A source told The Sun: “Chris and JoJo are being bombarded with lucrative offers since becoming the stand-out housemates of the series.
“There’s a lot of speculation they’ll end up doing a TV show together – with ITV keen to capitalise on their natural connection and bond.
“It’s early days as no one expected them to have formed this kind of relationship, but the public are so invested it would be mad for ITV not to take advantage of it.”
Chris is already back on the television after landing a new job following his CBB stint.
He made his telly comeback by presenting a competition segment live from Weston-super-Mare for ITV’s This Morning.
Chris was put in charge of Dosh On Our Doorstep on Thursday morning’s show.
This Morning hosts Cat Deeley and Ben Shepherd handed over to Chris, who was surrounded by a group of bikini-clad viewers, soon after the programme got underway.
Chris told the pair: “I’m ready to hand out cash!”
