Celebrity Big Brother star JoJo Siwa has insisted her partner Kath Ebbs ‘won’t care’ about her friendship with Chris Hughes, after the pair were accused of sharing a bed in Wednesday’s show.
The Dance Moms star, 21, and the former Love Island star, 32, have continued to raise eyebrows over their ‘flirty’ friendship in the house, with JoJo also admitting earlier this week that she no longer identifies as a lesbian.
In the wake of the friendship, JoJo’s partner Kath Ebbs has been cruelly taunted online, with trolls accusing the dancer of cheating with Chris, forcing them to disable comments on Instagram.
In the opening minutes of Wednesday’s episode, JoJo jumped into bed with Chris mere minutes after waking up, leading Danny Beard to question whether she’d been there all night.
JoJo quickly said ‘no,’ and Danny quipped that she better be prepared to her partner to ‘throw some punches.’
Laughing, JoJo insisted that Kath ‘wouldn’t care.’

Later in the episode, fearing the prospect of Chris being evicted from the house, JoJo opened up to housemate Donna Preston about their friendship.
As Chris complained that he’d cut his foot, he asked JoJo to come and help him ‘wash it,’ before heading into the house.
Donna turned to JoJo and said: ‘What is he gonna do without you?’
‘I don’t know,’ JoJo replied, with Donna noting that they were ‘like a married couple.’
‘Do you know what? I kinda love it. It feels like a child. Like a baby,’ JoJo said.
Donna then asked what they’ll do without each other when the series ends, and the dancer said they’ll ‘still be in each other’s lives.’
She then admitted that Chris has filled the gap for her ‘mum, dad and brother,’ while she feels she’s filled the space for his ‘friends and family’ on the show.
It comes after JoJo revealed she no longer identifies as a lesbian during the ITV show earlier this week.

The Dance Moms star has been raising eyebrows over her ‘flirty’ friendship with housemate Chris.
Now JoJo has opened up about her sexuality having previously told housemates ‘I like girls’, in a conversation that led to homophobic remarks from Mickey Rourke, 72.
During Tuesday night’s livestream, following a triple eviction that saw Patsy Palmer, Ella Rae Wise and Angellica Bell given the boot, JoJo was seen confiding in RuPaul‘s Drag Race star, Danny Beard.
During a private chat in the bedroom, she confessed: ‘I feel so queer,’ as Danny responded: ‘I’m queer!’
JoJo, who is in a relationship with influencer Kath Ebbs – continued: ‘I’ve never – I think I’ve always told myself, I’m a lesbian. I think you – I think being here – I’ve realised I am not a lesbian, I’m queer.’
JoJo continued: ‘And I think that’s really cool, I’m switching letters! I’ve dropped the L and I’ve gone to the Q baby! That’s what I love about sexuality.’
After hugging, Danny – who identifies as non-binary and uses the pronouns they/them – quipped: ‘And you know what British people love more than anything? To queue!’
The term queer is typically described as an ‘umbrella term’ for people who consider their sexuality to be something other than heterosexual.
This includes people who are attracted to their own and opposite sex and can extend to non-binary and transgender people.
LGBTQ charity Stonewall define it as ‘a term used by those wanting to reject specific labels of sexual orientation and/or gender identity’.
JoJo came out as pansexual in 2021 but has described herself as gay in recent interviews.
Celebrity Big Brother continues on Thursday at 9pm on ITV1 and ITVX.
