But X Factor star Jake, 36, said Chris had no idea who JoJo was before he entered the house.
He also revealed that Chris is just as affectionate with his friends on the outside as he is with the US star.
Jake said: "He's had some criticism for no reason, if I'm honest, but I know Chris.
"Chris isn't intelligent enough to have a game plan and I love that for him.
"When we did Full Monty, he latched on to me and I latched on to him because we got on.
"And I feel like that's what he's doing in the house, he, he's found somebody that he gets on with who has a similar personality and similar humour, and he's made friends with them, and people have kind of took that as or playing a game or whatever, but he's a lovely kid."
Jake then dropped the surprise revelation that Chris forces him to share a bed with him when they have 'sleepovers'
Speaking to The Sun on behalf of WhichBingo, Jake said: "When I go round his house, he doesn't let me sleep in, in a different bed, he makes me sleep in his room.
"He gets separation anxiety if you leave him for like 2 minutes, he can't do anything by himself.
Tell us now', demand Celebrity Big Brother fans as JoJo teases off-camera conversation with 'special' Chris Hughes
"When I was watching last night and he's cut his foot and he's like to Jojo 'oh will you come help me?' That's exactly what he'd say to me.
"I'd be like 'oh mate, come with me. You're an adult, go by yourself.
"But that's what he's like, he's touchy feely, he's flirty. And he flirts with me just as much
"Honestly would have not had a clue who Jojo was. His best mate is a horse - all he does is talk about horses, go golfing and watch sport on TV."
In tonight's episode, fans were convinced that JoJo's relationship is on the rocks after spotting a "snub" in partner's letter from home.
JoJo's note was from her mum, Jess - but included a message from the Dance Moms star's parter Kath.
JoJo had Chris read her letter from her mum.
He read to the group: 'Hi JoJo, we're having so much fun watching you in the Big Brother house.
"The most important thing to tell you is a message from Kath because I know you really miss them the most. 'Kath's keen to see you when you get out'...'
"I've had so much fun with Kath whilst you're away, we've had lots of phone calls and Facetimes and they even came to my house to watch the launch of the show.
"I'm happy you're making such good friends and I'm happy you've chosen to see the good in everyone in the house."
But despite the excitement of receiving letters, JoJo appeared to take issue with hers.
JoJo said in the Diary Room: 'I think I've tried to keep myself distracted from missing sweet Kath.
"I said goodbye to them at the airport and it was a really hard goodbye.
'And then they were the last person I talked to before I gave up my phone for the Big Brother house.
"God, I love that little sucker. I do.'
JoJo continued: 'I do have beef to pick with them though, they didn't even say in the note that they love me.
'I will not let them live that down. I will say, 'where was my 'hi sweetheart', where was my 'I love you' where was my 'I miss you'?'.
'Like happy you're keen to see me when I get out of here, keen to see you as well, but come on baba, give me a little something something.'
Viewers raced to their X/Twitter platform to say they're convinced JoJo's partner Kath is furious at her.
One shared a meme of pop star Adele looking annoyed and wrote: "JoJo's partner sat at home right now like 'me? The drama?"
A second posted a picture of furious looking Patsy Palmer from her CBB exit interview and quipped: "JoJo's partner watching Chris read out the cryptic message about him."
A third commented: "If ITV are truly on it, they should bring out JoJo's partner for the finals."
A fourth said: "JoJo after hearing that her girlfriend is 'keen' to see her..."
Over the past few weeks, JoJo and Chris have grown close and enjoyed a string of intimate moments.
It comes as a source told The Sun: 'JoJo and Chris have been the talking point of the series, with the 'will-they won't-they' narrative.
'Even if it's purely platonic, as they claim, fans are convinced Kath must be furious about the endless physical contact, at least.
As the pair's friendship has developed, they have been seen sharing a bed, writing secret messages on one another, and cuddling on the sofa.
Chris has even offered to have JoJo's babies, despite the singer having a partner on the outside.

'Coldplay's Chris Martin made me an offer on FaceTime but there was issue'
Hip-hop star Chiedu Oraka shared a video of the hilarious moment he was invited to support Coldplay by Chris Martin - but he was unwilling to accept until one stipulation was met Coldplay singer Chris Martin offered a Hull musician an offer he couldn't refuse, but there was one problem. Chiedu Oraka shared a video of the moment the 48-year old icon contacted him via FaceTime with an incredible request. "This is Chris Martin from Coldplay, am I catching you at a good time?" the star respectfully began. After confirming it was fine, Chris told Chiedu he "loved" his music and that his band would really like him to support them on their Music Of The Spheres tour dates at Craven Park, which are scheduled to take place in Chiedu's home city on August 18 and 19. "If it was Coldplay and Chiedu Oraka, we would just be so happy," Chris continued. "Would you consider it?" Seemingly undeterred, however, Chiedu quickly interjected to quip: "Chris, we're going to have to have a proper conversation - you are coming to my city, mate, and I can't have you pronouncing my name like that - you are butchering it. "I'm not having it - remember, you are coming to my city. Remember, if I accept, you are closing the show for me. How dare you insult me by butchering my name like that! Appearing to be taken aback somewhat, Chris put his head in his hands before attempting to pronounce the name once more. Failing, however, Chiedu continued: "No. I am only letting you close the show for me if you pronounce my name correctly." Adopting a Nigerian accent, Chris' third try appeared to go down much better. "Yeah - you even put the Nigerian twist in there," a laughing Chiedu hailed the effort. "So you'll do it?" asked Chris looking for confirmation. "You will let us close for you? Because as you know, there is no 'Hull' without 'u'." "I will let you close for me," Chiedu affirmed. "I like what you did there!" Meanwhile, Chris cheekily closed: "My name is Ch-ris - the 'h' isn't silent." Writing in response, one to the video call, one TikTok user joked: "You nearly stopped his big break there, love local artists supporting each other." A second shared: "Love how Chris is so cute and humble and can take a joke." A third wrote: "This is amazing! So happy for you! No Hull without U! Love it! He's a top bloke."

Love Island fans call out Ben over bizarre claim as he's DUMPED by Shakira
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) LOVE Island fans poked fun at Ben after an intense conversation he had with Sabrina in the Spanish villa during Friday's episode. The model from Gloucester was paired with Mancunian beauty, but their relationship was rocky from the outset as Sabrina constantly questioned their chemistry. Sign up for the Entertainment newsletter Sign up 3 Ben and Sabrina are no longer an item on Love Island Credit: Eroteme 3 Fans mocked Ben for saying he agreed with Sabrina's decision Credit: Eroteme Earlier this week, she was accused of leading Ben on in the ITV reality series, but during the latest installment, dumped him outright. Sabrina gave a range of reasons for her decision, including telling Ben that he "dulled my sparkle." "We don't speak of anything of note," she told him as the pair argued. Fans watching at home noticed that Ben looked devastated during the chat, but then thought it was bizarre that he outwardly agreed with Sabrina's reasoning. "Nah Ben looked like he was abt to cry when Shakira said he dulled her sparkle," one Love Island fan wrote on X, formerly Twitter. Another added with a meme of a someone wearing multiple masks: "Ben telling Shakira he's on the same page as her." And a third wrote alongside a skull emoji: "Ben pretending he felt the same way as Shakira." A fourth person commented: "Talk about different pages… not sure Shakira and Ben are even in the same book." Even though she's now flying solo in the Love Island casa, Shakira may be rekindling her fling with Harry after the pair had a conversation about their future. "I wanted to see how you were feeling, I think initially you were number one and I f****d it," Harry told her. Love Island game of 'spin the bottle' kicks off as Shakira snogs Harry - and Megan's left furious over Tommy's kiss with co-star They also discussed his romantic indecision as he is paired up with Helena, but also seems interested in Yasmin as well. Sabrina told Harry: "It was you, and still is you. But it's your behaviour for me that I can't tolerate." And Harry pressed her for the potential for a second chance: "If that could possibly be arranged?" He also told Sabrina: "You're the one," despite his moves on Yasmin and Helena. But the pair seem like they're definitely going to get close again as a teaser clip for Sunday's episode shows them snogging. The preview showed the Islanders playing a messy game of 'spin the bottle' on Sunday. In the teaser clip's edit, it seemed as though the Islanders were asked to snog who they'd most like to be coupled up with. It then cut to Shakira smooching Harry as Helena and Ben looked at their current love interests with disgust.
