Ebbs’ conspicuous reposting suggests they are still struggling to come to terms with the collapse of their relationship with Siwa.
Throughout her time on the show, Siwa sparked a close relationship with fellow housemate and TV personality Chris Hughes, 32. The pair shared a number of intimate and flirtatious interactions throughout the series, prompting fans to speculate on a potential romance.
While on the show, Siwa 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.”
After the show’s wrap party, Ebbs took to social media to share they had been “hurt” and “humiliated” by Siwa in a brutal dumping
“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,” Ebbs began. “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.”
Referencing the flirty scenes on the show, Ebbs said they were “hurt by what I saw”, but they “wanted to work through it and get clarity”.
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).”
Elsewhere, Siwa and Hughes address the situation while speaking on This Morning. Discussing her time on the show, Siwa revealed her relationship on the outside was “One of those things” she had realised she was “not happy” with.
When quizzed about a potential relationship with Hughes, she awkwardly suggested: “He’s a great guy, it’s platonic and we have a lot of fun together. But life is life… I don’t know what the future will be.
The pair have continued spending time together after their CBB exit, going for drinks with friends and paying tennis together.
