Chris Hughes broke down in tears in the Celebrity Big Brother Diary Room last night over his burgeoning friendship with JoJo Siwa.
During face to face nominations, he faced accusations that he was using the US popstar as part of a strategy to advance further in the show.
"I'm exhausted in this house," he admitted to BB. "I think I'm too normal and live a stress-free life. I avoid negative energy in my day-to-day life. And I'm happier for it. I just don't get it. If you have things to say, just air it.
"People enjoying themselves and having fun – that's just life. I don't really like the environment much any more. I hate toxic stuff in life. I hate horrible energy – it just brings you down. You can feel when energy shifts and it's not nice. I don't want to be emotional and sad, but you can't help it sometimes.
"People have made me feel like I can't have a friendship with JoJo. Or feel like I have to justify a friendship with JoJo – because we get on and we have fun. I'm actually really sad."
The scenes play out in tonight's episode of Celebrity Big Brother on ITV1 and ITVX at 9pm.
