Afterwards, he played football for the Gloucestershire club Bourton Rovers F.C. making 13 appearances,[10] as well turning out for his local cricket side Bourton Vale CC, and for the celebrity Tailenders cricket team against a Test Match Special XI,[11] and was a golf clothing ambassador.[12] He was also a brand ambassador of charity Campaign Against Living Miserably, which led to him releasing his own bottled water brand named L'Eau de Chris through Topman.[13]

As part of Chris & Kem, he charted at number 15 on the UK Singles Chart with the song "Little Bit Leave It".[14] A year later, he starred in a reality series with his then girlfriend Olivia Attwood, Chris and Olivia: Crackin' On.[15] In the same year, he signed on for a game show, You Vs.

Personal life[]

In January 2019, Hughes took a live testicular exam on This Morning, wherein he also revealed having undergone several testicular operations since discovering a varicocele at age 14.[22] The reason behind the live exam was to assist others by spreading cancer awareness.[23]

In January 2019, he began dating Little Mix ex-member Jesy Nelson.[24] The couple split up in April 2020.[25]
