Jojo Siwa parties with Chris Hughes after partner flees Celebrity Big Brother party

JoJo Siwa and Chris Hughes have been pictured partying together at the Celebrity Big Brother afterparty.

The 21-year-old Dance Moms star has unknowingly found herself at the heart of some Celebrity Big Brother drama after she formed an intense bond with fellow housemate Chris.

The pair’s friendship raised eyebrows among viewers who struggled to see the relationship as platonic, with some even accusing JoJo of cheating on her partner, non-binary actor Kath Ebbs, 27.

Now, new photos seem to show Kath leaving the Celebrity Big Brother wrap party alone.

This comes after Kath came to JoJo’s defence following axed contestant Mickey Rourke making homophobic comments towards her.

In recent weeks, trolls have been flooding Kath’s social media with comments claiming Jojo is cheating on them with Love Island star Chris, 32.

In an earlier episode, Jojo opened up about her gender identity, saying that she had realised she is ‘queer’ rather than a ‘lesbian’.

It came before she was moved to tears when her partner Kath left her a message saying she was ‘keen’ to speak to her, instead of saying ‘I love you’.

Now, Jojo’s mother, Jessalynn Siwa, a professional dance instructor from Iowa, has provided an update on the pair’s relationship.

Taking to Instagram, she said: ‘Hey… I can finally tell you all Kath is there in London and they had a private reunion at the show off camera and this is what they wanted.

‘Trust me, I would have been there but JoJo wanted her girlfriend there not her mommy.

‘All good troops 🙂 all good I promise. Love, Dance Mom Jess.’

Responding on Reddit, DeltaWillow said: ‘Just because Kath is there doesn’t mean they are good, I hope it does or at least they work it out, but this isn’t by Jojo or Kath this is PR from her mum.’

roseyposey19 added: ‘Kath is better than me if they take her back, and I’m saying that as the biggest Jojo fan now.’

Dance Moms began airing in 2011, with JoJo joining the show in 2014 alongside her mother Jessalynn.

Elsewhere on the show last night, Celebrity Big Brother runner-up Danny Beard reflected on how Mickey’s homophobic comments made him seem like a ‘lost little boy’.

‘Mickey had some abhorrent, awful views actually but I saw this little lost boy in there, this child that needed care and mother came out,’ he said.
