Chris quit the US version of "Celebrity Big Brother", telling Us Weekly in February about the decision, "It was a lot of fun, but it was hard. At some point, it just became hard not to talk to family. And for me, it became hard to be disconnected to the outside world."
"I don't think I was so ready [or] realized what that felt like when you have cameras on you 24/7, except for when you're going to use the bidet. That's really it. I didn't realise how much I missed my family and friends and my loved ones and girlfriend."
