JoJo Siwa’s partner Kath Ebbs has confirmed their split as they revealed the singer dumped them at Celebrity Big Brother afterparty in bombshell video amid Chris Hughes ‘close’ bond.
JoJo, 21, finished in third place during the grand final of Celebrity Big Brother on Friday, and while the other contestants were greeted publicly by their loved ones at the side of the stage, no one was there to meet JoJo.
And now Kath has taken to Instagram on Saturday to break her silence as she confirmed the couple are no longer together and JoJo called things off at the afterparty on Friday night.
While it appeared the star had been snubbed by her partner amid the furore surrounding JoJo’s closeness with Chris, Kath was reportedly backstage – having refused to reunite with JoJo on camera.
Addressing the situation publicly for the first time, Kath admitted they feel they have been victim to ‘some version of love bombing’ as they admitted to feeling ‘numbed out’.
Meanwhile Kath – who uses they/them pronouns – is also no longer following JoJo on Instagram.

However, JoJo is still following Kath back on the social media platform.
MailOnline has contacted Kath and JoJo’s representatives for comment.
Speaking in full Kath began: ‘Hello internet. I don’t even know where to begin. I am filming this in a complete state of shock.’
She continued: ‘I honestly feel so numbed out right now and disorientated that I feel like the only thing I have to do in this situation is to finally address it after two weeks of sitting back watching certain things unfold and not being able to get any clarity from the person who it involved.
‘I guess in an odd way, I don’t know whether to call it love bombing or whatever but it seems to me I have experienced a version of that.
‘Being told I am the love of someone’s life, being asked to marry them before this social experiment.
‘Being adored throughout behind close doors. Being hurt by what I saw but wanting to work through it and have a conversation and get clarity.’

JoJo and Chris have continued to raise eyebrows over their ‘flirty’ friendship in the house.
The pair have been seen massaging one another, with JoJo licking chocolate off Chris’ shorts, and Chris even admitting he wanted to kiss JoJo, as well as jokingly referring to her as his ‘girlfriend’ and playing with her hair.
The Dance Mom star also revealed she no longer identifies as a lesbian after RuPaul’s Drag Race star Danny called out her closeness with Chris.
As Danny got out of the hot tub, he looked over to see Chris and JoJo reenacting a scene from ‘Titanic’, telling them: ‘You two either need to f*** or stop.’
While they both laughed the comment off, Danny continued: ‘And your bird is about to pull you when you get out, you’ll have a front page spread in The Sun.’
This came just hours after Danny made similar comments to JoJo about her relationship with Kath, which began in November last year.
JoJo and Kath were first linked in when the Karma singer visited Australia for the TikTok Awards just weeks after her split from dancer Dakayla Wilson.
Kath then flew out to Los Angeles to live with JoJo in Los Angeles in January.
Looking over at Chris and JoJo cuddling in bed, Danny asked: ‘Did you sleep together in that bed?’, to which she replied: ‘No!’
He added: ‘I’d be prepared for your girlfriend to throw some punches,’ to which JoJo replied: ‘Oh god no, she won’t care.’
Clips that weren’t aired during the main show, saw Chris and JoJo in bed together with the reality star lying on her chest before they pulled the duvet over their heads.
‘I think we can all finally agree that this is more than a friendship,’ one viewer reacted on TikTok.
The Dance Moms star and former Love Island star have continued to raise eyebrows over their ‘flirty’ friendship in the house with Chris even referring to her as his ‘girlfriend’

‘This feels like cheating…Why are people supporting this? She has a partner. Why is she cuddling him in bed and letting him kiss her cheek?’ wrote another.
‘Kath must be suffering so much watching her girlfriend cheat on her on national television,’ another person penned.
In another telling moment on-screen, JoJo admitted, ‘ I think I feel a bit guilty for not missing home as much as I thought I would.’
Celebrity Big Brother came to an end on Friday night, with Jack being crowned the winner and Danny finishing as runner-up.
Corrie star Jack couldn’t contain his shock as hosts AJ Odudu and Will Best revealed that he received the most votes from the public during Friday night’s live final.
In his first exclusive interview, Jack told AJ and Will that he was ‘blown away’ by his victory and ‘didn’t expect it’, admitting he had JoJo ‘nailed’ as the winner.
Talking about how he went from the most-nominated housemate to the winner, the soap star admitted: ‘I figured that I might annoy a few people and they might not know how to work me out but I guess I was liked by the end.’
Before Jack’s interview, Drag Race star Danny exited the iconic house after being revealed as the second-place star.
He got emotional as he opened up on how much he loved his time in the house as ‘himself’ without the wigs and makeup.

Meanwhile, Dance Moms star JoJo looked elated as she got a podium finish on the ITV show in third place.
Speaking to AJ and Will, she revealed she thought ‘everyone was going to hate her’ and is ‘so grateful’ for finishing in third.
Talking about her letter from home, JoJo admitted: ‘For me, I felt like the whole time in the house I was all in there then when I got the letter my brain went running outside the house and I felt so disconnected.’
She added: ‘Being away from everything you know and the super publicness of my life, I’ve always seen what people had to say about me and felt a pressure.
‘You can’t hide in there, you’re down to your most vulnerable self but now I’m terrified to watch it.’
Just before, comedian and actress Donna walked out of the door in fourth place to huge cheers from the crowd chanting her name.
Donna was told she received the fewest amount of nominations out of all of the housemates – just two throughout the series.
When asked about her odd nomination reasons, the star admitted: ‘I think I was a bit naughty, wasn’t I? I honestly didn’t have anything bad to say about anyone.’

And opening up on her close friendship with Danny, she sweetly quipped: ‘As soon as I saw Danny I knew he was my comfort blanket and I knew I was going to be amazing friends with him.’
Chris and Chesney were evicted from the house in sixth and fifth place.
The Love Island star was told by AJ and Will that he would be the first to leave the house at the beginning of the live final.
Then, just moments later the One And Only hitmaker was revealed to be in fifth place, following behind Chris.
As he was interviewed by Will and AJ, Chesney emotionally quipped: ‘I’m trying not to cry, I keep seeing my wife.’
Throughout the night, the vote kept being frozen to evict the housemate with the fewest votes, with the viewers then being given five new free votes each time.
The remaining six finalists had an emotional last dinner together on Thursday night, where they talked about their memories in the house, before enjoying a disco.
During their speeches, JoJo described Chris as ‘a vital part’ of her life that she didn’t know was missing, with Chris describing the Dance Moms star as ‘his person’.
Meanwhile, Danny said it was ‘amazing’ to conquer the experience as himself and as ‘Daniel’.

After the nail-biting live final, fans rushed to X to react to Jack being crowned winner, writing: ‘Jack drinking tea all season and wins the whole thing. Legendary. #CBBUK #CBB #CelebrityBigBrother.’
‘What do you mean Danny didn’t win…#cbb #cbbuk.’
‘He was the most real of them all. I’m so pleased for him.’
‘The British public making someone with a dry sense of humour and a tea addiction the winner of celebrity big brother feels weirdly patriotic #CBBUK.’

Celebrity Big Brother and Celebrity Big Brother: Late & Live are available to watch on ITVX.
