JoJo Siwa and Chris Hughes share pictures together days after dancer dumped ‘humiliated’ partner following ITV CBB saga
JoJo Siwa, 21, and Chris Hughes, 32, have both shared pictures together only days after the US dancer split from her partner Kath Ebbs.
Siwa and Hughes sparked wild speculation among fans during their time on ITV Celebrity Big Brother with a steady stream of intimate and flirtatious interactions.
Both reality TV stars have previously insisted they “loved” each other purely as friends.
However, 28-year-old Ebbs confirmed her split from the US star on Saturday in an emotional post on Instagram – revealing that Siwa had ended their relationship just hours after leaving the Celebrity Big Brother house.

Coronation Street legend Jack P Shepherd emerged as the winner of this year’s Celebrity Big Borther, with Siwa and Hughes finishing as runners-up.
After attending the after-party with her then partner, Ebbs took to social media to reveal Siwa had told them the relationship was over.
In her Instagram video, Ebbs said they had been left “hurt” and “humiliated” to be “dumped” by Siwa at the event.
“Hello, internet… I don’t even know where to begin,” Ebbs began in the clip.
They continued: “I’m filming this in a complete state of shock, which I know is probably distressing.
“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.”
Siwa’s ex continued by saying 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 in 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).”
