Celebrity Big Brother star JoJo Siwa has admitted she is “happy” with the changes she has made in her life since coming out of the house and set the record straight on her split with partner Kath Ebbs.
During her time on the show, Siwa and Chris Hughes formed a close friendship, which led to many viewers beginning to wonder whether it was more than a platonic relationship.
She addressed the fact that she no longer thought she was a lesbian with Danny Beard and admitted she thought she was queer.
Siwa’s partner Ebbs had disappeared from social media, the more people commented on the “weird” and “creepy” friendship they had formed.
As the final came to an end and Jack P Shepherd was crowned the winner, it was soon revealed that Siwa had dumped Ebbs at the afterparty, leaving them devastated.
Issuing a statement on Instagram, Ebbs said: “Hello, internet... I don't even know where to begin. I'm filming this in a complete state of shock, which I know is probably distressing.

"I feel so numbed out right now and so disoriented, I feel like the only thing I can do to place this situation is address it after two weeks of sitting back and watching things unfold without being able to get any clarity from the person it involved."
She explained she had felt “love bombed” by Siwa before her ITV stint and claimed the former Dance Moms star had "adored" them "behind closed doors".
Ebbs explained: "(I was) met with being further humiliated in the fact that... the story goes right now that in the last eight hours, I flew here and I went to the live show to show up for my partner and support them in their experience and then later on address the feelings of hurt and then work through them like all relationships do.
"But before I could even get back to the hotel - it's crazy - I went to the after party with my now ex and was dumped at the party. I was told that there are confused feelings there, do with that what you will - and that they realised in the house I wasn't the person they didn't want to spend the foreseeable (with)."

She later took the video down from her social media account, before Siwa broke her silence and claimed she was staying in the UK through a funny TikTok video.
Today, Siwa finally addressed the breakdown of her relationship during an appearance on This Morning and told Ben Shephard and Cat Deely: “I knew as soon as I got out I wanted to fix things in my life and make the changes I wanted to make.
"The first thing you want to do when you get out is exactly what you need to do to make it as good as you can.
"I was pretending things were great... It's been hard, but I'm very happy with things now.”
Shephard replied: “You did it very quickly, your ex has talked about that,” before she added: “I'll be honest, that was not a plan.
“Not an intention, not supposed to happen. I was told they weren't wanting to attend,d and then they decided they want to… They straight up asked me if I was happy. I said no.”
