JoJo Siwa has opened up about what actually happened with her ex-partner, Kath Ebbs, at the Celebrity Big Brother wrap party as she has finally broken her silence on the split.
Anyone tuning into the hit reality TV series this past month will no doubt know all about the absolute chaos that this season has been this year, with JoJo and former Love Island star Chris Hughes being one of the biggest talking points.
Now, for some context, viewers had speculated whether JoJo, 21, and Chris, 32, were too ‘flirty’ with each other and the online speculation was only fuelled when Kath took to social media to issue a statement revealing that JoJo 'dumped' them right after leaving the Big Brother house.

But the latest update in the saga has now seen JoJo speak alongside Chris during a segment on This Morning earlier today (28 April), when presenter Cat Deeley asked the Dance Moms star: "You've grown up being on TV shows. You understand it. You're very open and honest. There's been so many different reports over this weekend, what's the truth?"
JoJo replied: "So many things, that is one of them, but so many things. And then I, you know, obviously I wanted to hold them inside, though, because I didn't want to air that out very publicly.
"But there were countless things that I was like, that's not, you know, something that I should be okay with and I don't need to be okay with and I'm not happy, and I knew as soon as I got out, I wanted to fix things in my life and make the changes that I needed to make."

Looking at Chris - who JoJo has been very close to throughout CBB - she added: "I'm very grateful that I had you in there for support and for comfort. Because even though you didn't know what was going on in my brain, you were still obviously and still obviously are like support."
Presenter Ben Shephard then interjected: "You did it very quickly. I mean, you sort of made those changes at the wrap party, by all accounts. And your ex has sort of come out and talked about that as well. So that's obviously gonna shine the light on it."
"Yeah," JoJo replied. "I'll be honest, that was not a plan, that was not an intention, that was not supposed to happen like that."

Sharing details about what apparently went down during the wrap party, she carried on: "Initially, I was told that, you know, the wrap party was something they didn't want to attend. And then about an hour into the wrap party, they decided they wanted to, and so I was genuinely just going to have a conversation before, and then it just led to another.
"They straight up asked me if I was happy, and I said no. And, you know, one thing led to another, and that conversation did take place there."
Ben then asked if JoJo's relationship with Chris was a 'catalyst' in the decision, to which Chris responded: "Our friendship is just a really strong bond between two people, which is just a strong friendship.

"And I think you can have, like a soulmate friendship. I think that's a thing. And to me, it's like that energy of where it's not like the standard friendship that you have with your friends, but it's, you know, it's still a friendship.
"You know, we are friends and it's just nice, and I found it strange because it was such a strong friendship. But having someone in there to go through an experience like that and have someone there every day when you're emotional, when you're down, when you're happy, that was beautiful.
"Like that is a genuinely an amazing thing. And probably my favourite thing I got from the whole show."
Ben then asked if JoJo would like the friendship to turn 'romantic' to which she explained: "Look, he's a great guy. It is platonic. We have a lot of fun together. Life is life, and I don't know any future of anything, but I'm really grateful for our dynamic that we have, and our bond that we have, and whatever life does, life will do."
