JoJo Siwa has issued a heartfelt message to her Big Brother housemates after admitting she’s realised she’s ‘not a lesbian’.
In an episode preview ahead of Celebrity Big Brother: Live Final airing on ITV this evening (25 April), the 21-year-old Dance Moms star and her five other remaining housemates celebrated by having a fancy dinner and reflecting on their time in the house.
Joining JoJo were the likes of singer Chesney Hawkes, drag queen Danny Beard, comedian Donna Preston, Corrie star Jack P. Shepherd, and former Love Islander Chris Hughes who all gathered round for one final cheers to Big Brother.
Looking back on the experience, Donna gushes: "I’m very very grateful and appreciative of my time in here, being with you lot is making me really happy and it’s filling my heart."
Meanwhile, Chesney reflects: "I feel like we’ve learned a little bit about each other, and we’ve learned a little bit about ourselves. I know personally I'm going away a better person for it."

"I can honestly say I’ve loved it, literally just the time of my life," Jack beamed, while Danny echoed: "You guys have been so amazing to me, and I cannot wait to go home and watch this on repeat."
Chris likewise chirped: "I love every single one of you individually; a dysfunctioning, functioning family, that’s what we are."
And JoJo issued the heartfelt message: "I’ve felt so beautifully included, accepted and so I just want to say a big thank you for everyone being a little different piece of my pie."
The housemates spent the rest of their final night dancing the night away and, for one last time, Big Brother concluded the antics saying: "Good night, celebrity finalists."

JoJo has been incredibly brave in taking fans along with her when it comes to her sexuality, as she recently opened up to Danny about now wishing to identify as 'queer'.
During a private chat in the bedroom, she told the RuPaul's Drag Race UK winner: "I feel so queer."
"I'm queer!" Danny responded, prompting JoJo - who is in a relationship with non-binary partner, Kath Ebbs, 27 - to confide in them saying: "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," she shared.
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."
LGBTQ+ charity Stonewall, defines 'queer' as 'a term used by those wanting to reject specific labels of sexual orientation and/or gender identity'.
Hosts AJ Odudu and Will Best will be crowing the winner of Celebrity Big Brother this evening.
