JoJo Siwa’s partner Kath Ebbs issues four-word message that leaves her very confused
JoJo Siwa’s partner shared a four-word message which the dancer then had 'beef' with as she reaches the final in the Celebrity Big Brother house.
In tonight's episode (24 April) the Dance Moms star opens up a letter from her beau, Kath Ebbs, 27.
Ebbs identifies as non-binary, and while JoJo maintained that she was gay, her time on the reality TV programme made her realise she’s 'not a lesbian' and she now identifies as 'queer'.
During a private chat in the bedroom, she talked to CBB housemate and RuPaul's Drag Race UK star Danny Beard about it all.

She explained: "I feel so queer."
"I'm queer!" Danny responded, leading to JoJo sharing: "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 said.
She added: "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."
According to the LGBTQ+ charity, Stonewall, 'queer' is 'a term used by those wanting to reject specific labels of sexual orientation and/or gender identity'.
Ahead of the show's final, JoJo was read out a letter from her mum, as part of an emotional tradition which sees contestants being sent heartfelt letters from their loved ones.
Close pal Chris Hughes read out JoJo's letter, which said: "The most important thing to tell you is a message from Kath because I know you really miss them the most. Kath's keen to see you when you get out."
But after hearing the message from her partner, JoJo was left overthinking the 'keen to see you' part.
JoJo said to her housemate and Corrie star Jack P. Shepherd: "I honestly like, I’m finding myself really analysing that note and like I don’t like it."
"As in, are you trying to find a hidden message or something?" he asked.
JoJo explained to Big Brother in the diary room the reason for her issue, stating: "I think I’ve tried to keep myself distracted from missing sweet Kath.
"I said goodbye to them at the airport and it was a really hard goodbye. And then they were the last person I talked to before I gave up my phone for the Big Brother house. God, I love that little sucker. I do."
She explained: "I do have beef to pick with them though, they didn’t even say in the note that they love me. I will not let them live that down. I will say, where was my 'hi sweetheart', where was my 'I love you' where was my 'I miss you'?’.
"Like happy you’re keen to see me when I get out of here, keen to see you as well, but come on baba, give me a little something something."
Celebrity Big Brother continues tonight from 9pm on ITV, ITVX, STV and STV Player. It will be followed by companion show Late & Live on ITV2 and ITVX from 10pm.
