The photo has been circulating on social media ever since Hughes quickly removed it. In the now-viral image, he kissed Siwa on the forehead while holding her head. The 22-year-old dancer placed her hand on the television personality's chest while he was without a shirt. According to the Mirror, he titled the message "Sleeping beauty".

The now-deleted message from Hughes comes in the midst of mounting romance rumors between him and Siwa. After bonding on Celebrity Big Brother UK, the pair initially caused dating rumors. The Karma artist revealed she was no longer a lesbian in an April episode. She remarked, "I feel so odd."

At the time, Kath Ebbs and Siwa were dating. But the two went their separate ways after the former left the successful reality show. Although it was rumored that they broke up because of the dancer's close friendship with Hughes, she refuted the rumors in a May cover article for Us Weekly.

About her relationship with Hughes at the time, Siwa stated, "Obviously, naturally, we still speak all the time," adding, "Now to be out of the house, we just exist, and it is what it is." We are content because we have each other. We have a wonderful little unique friendship.
