Celebrity Big Brother's JoJo Siwa 'crying' as she says 'goodbye' after Chris Hughes relationship update
She said she felt 'emotional' to have left the UK as she headed back to America just days after making the final of the hit reality show
Celebrity Big Brother star JoJo Siwa has said she felt 'emotional' to have left the UK as she headed back to America just days after making the final of the hit reality show.
The singer and former Dance Moms star made it to the final six in the popular ITV programme, before finishing in third place behind runner-up Danny Beard and winner Jack P Shepherd during the live final on Friday night (April 25).
But it's JoJo's relationship with fellow housemate Chris Hughes that has been the talk of Celebrity Big Brother 2025, with speculation that their friendship blossomed into romance while on the show.
At the weekend, JoJo's partner, Australian actor Kath Ebbs, said in a video posted to social media that Siwa had ended their relationship at the Celebrity Big Brother after party.
The 21-year-old has since told ITV’s This Morning that the break up "was not supposed to happen like that" and that her partner had initially said they would not be attending the wrap party.
She said: “When I went into the house, day one, fun. Day two, fun. Well, day two actually wasn’t that fun… day three, I was now in my own thoughts, away from everyone that I know, away from outside opinions, away from everything.
"And I sat with myself and from that point on, I really realised things that I was okay with in my life that I should never have been okay with."
Shortly after the interview, alongside former Love Island star Chris, on Monday's (April 28) show, JoJo was headed back to LA. Taking to Instagram as she arrived back on home soil, JoJo gushed over her experience, and even gave 'Christopher' a special shout-out.
Alongside a video compilation of her almost three weeks in the famous compound, she said: "Recap of my time in the Big Brother House. Quite emotional today as I’ve landed back in LA, saying goodbye to the U.K., and one of my favourite things that I’ve ever done in my life.
"The last 20 days I’ve faced some of the highest highs and lowest lows and it’s so crazy to think that all of them were public, but it’s honestly quite a beautiful thing.
"So very grateful for the love and support I received from you while I was in the house. Being so vulnerable and not know what the world will do or say was scary, but coming out of the house and seeing the absolute outpour of love and support that happened while I was in there was just wild and made me cry with tears of happiness. It makes me very emotional and just means so much. Thank you."
"I’ve learned so much about my self in the Big Brother House and wouldn’t change a thing about the journey. I wish I could go back in time and live it over and over again."
She went on: "To my perfectly dysfunctional functional family from inside the house…. Gosh do I love you guys. Thank you for becoming family, for all the good cooking, all the good chats, every laugh, every dance step, every hug, every cry, everything. This wouldn’t have been the same with any other people, so happy to have you all in my life forever now."Special shout to Christopher, Jack, Donna, Chesatron, and Danny… my sweetest fellow finalists, getting to know you all the most, I’m gonna miss the absolute ship out of you. I’d cry to hear one more time 'STOP IT' from Donna, one more Rat song from Jack, one more hug from chesatron, one more song from Danny, and one more 'mmmm' from Chris. When it was the six of us it really felt like a home, I’ll never forget the people you are and how much I love you guys."
JoJo rounded off by shared: "Been crying while trying to write this message so I’m gonna end it now, but truly an absolutely amazing time that I have nothing but the most love and gratitude for. Thank you again. Love Joelle."
