JoJo Siwa dumps partner Kath Ebbs at Celebrity Big Brother after-party - will she date Chris Hughes instead?

The couple confirmed their relationship earlier this year, and US singer and former Dance Moms star Siwa referred to her non-binary partner Ebbs during the ITV reality show.

Siwa, who developed a strong friendship with Love Island star Chris Hughes while on the programme, came third during the final on Friday. Coronation Street star Jack P Shepherd went on to be crowned the champion of the 2025 series.

In an Instagram video, Neighbours star, presenter and DJ Ebbs said Siwa “asked to marry them before this social experiment”. They added they travelled to the UK, and went “to the live show to show up for my partner and support them in their experience”, and talk about their relationship.

“[I] went to the after party with my, I guess now, ex, crazy thing to say, and was dumped in the party,” they said. Ebbs claimed Siwa told them “they had realised in the house that I wasn’t the person that they wanted to spend the foreseeable” future with.

Racing presenter Hughes was the first to be evicted from the house on Friday, and after he left denied that he and Siwa had romantic feelings for each other.

He said: “She reminded me a lot of this, sorry I might get emotional now, but the thing that fascinated me most about her is not the stuff that she’s done, because I was still finding out stuff she’d done even yesterday, it was what she’s come through, and what she’s been through when she was a teenager.

“That’s similar to what my ex-girlfriend went through, so kind of seeing how they are both similarly as people, I mean in the respect that she’s come through a lot, and she is purely a nice person, and I’m saying the similarities are in the personality.”

Siwa revealed she was playing tennis with Hughes on Sunday, and said: “We absolutely love and adore him, he is in my life for forever now. I’m so incredibly grateful for him, he has helped me have my hard times in this house, he’s helped me get through them, but more importantly, he has helped me create my happiest times in this house.

“He is more than a friend, he is just such a special guy, I’m so lucky.”

At the time of publication, Chris Hughes is believed to be single for about three years, having been in several high-profile relationships prior to that.

During her time on the programme, she told RuPaul’s Drag Race UK star Danny Beard that she feels she is “queer”, after previously coming out as a lesbian. She said: “I think that’s the thing. I’ve always told myself I’m a lesbian, and I think being here I’ve realised, oh, I’m not a lesbian, I’m queer. And I think that’s really cool.”
