Celebrity Big Brother finalist Jojo Siwa has revealed she has ‘beef’ with partner Kath after a message from home fell short of expectations.
The 21-year-old TV personality had a turbulent start to her time in the house when axed contestant Mickey Rourke was slammed for homophobia for saying he would turn her straight.
On the outside, her partner, non-binary actor Kath Ebbs came to their girlfriend’s defence by calling out Mickey and the awful language he had used.
The pair have been publicly dating since the start of the year, but Kath had to shut down their Instagram comments after it was flooded with trolls claiming Jojo was cheating on them with Love Island star Chris Hughes, 32, who Jojo has grown close to in the house.
In last night’s episode, Jojo poignantly opened up about her identity saying that she had realised she is ‘queer’ rather than a ‘lesbian’.
And now in tonight’s episode, she was moved to tears after sharing how much she missed her partner Kath and her confusion over her lack of ‘I love you’ in their message to her.

The housemates received letters from their loved ones, including Jojo, whose letter from her mum was read out loud by Chris.
It reads: ‘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”…’
Although it was a sweet sentiment, Jojo later found herself slightly upset by the content, admitting to Chris that she ‘didn’t like’ what she had heard, although Jack P. Shepherd tried to reassure her.
In the diary room, she explained exactly what she meant.
‘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.’
The Dance Moms star added: ‘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.’
After her emotional confession, she spoke to Chris about the mixture of feelings the letter had brought up as he comforted her.
‘I feel very grateful. I feel very confused. I feel very happy. I feel a bit rocky. I feel guilty for how happy I’ve been. Like I’ve been so happy,’ she said, as the two said they loved each other.
She then cryptically added that she would tell Chris something ‘in 48 hours’ when the contestants are finally released from the house.
In an interview with People about her relationship with Kath, JoJo has previously said: ‘It’s taught me so much about life. It’s taught me so much about love and respect, and it’s a beautiful thing.
‘It’s different in more ways than I can count. I wouldn’t even know what to say the biggest is ‘cause just everything is so different and special.’
JoJo’s sexuality is not the only aspect of her identity she has been grappling with during her time on the series.
After exchanging secret messages with Chris last week, Big Brother forced her to reveal what they had been discussing and she revealed she had been contemplating her relationship with her gender.
‘It’s something that I’m not ready, necessarily, to be open about or upfront about, but it has to do with gender and how do I feel. Let’s put it this way… Oh my god, this is a lot…’ she said,visibly upset.
Then continued: ‘Essentially, you have female, you have male. I’ve met a lot of females, love them, don’t feel like them. Met a lot of males, love them, definitely not them. Met a lot of people in my life that are nonbinary, and these beautiful nonbinary people are who I feel the most like and…
‘I don’t know, it’s not something I want to say about myself yet, but it’s something that is confusing, and that’s probably why we were talking about it last night.’
Elsewhere in tonight’s episode, Donna was made to be a delivery driver bringing various challenges to the housemates, prompting Big Brother to ask Jojo what the weirdest thing she had ever been sent was.
As someone who has been in the public spotlight since she was a child, there has been a negative aspect to her early fame, including a shaking experience with a stalker.
And she managed to consume an entire pot of spam in under five minutes.
Celebrity Big Brother continues on ITV at 9pm.
