Celebrity Big Brother star JoJo Siwa, 21, dumped her partner Kath Ebbs just hours after the ITV show’s finale on Friday night, Ebbs has claimed.
Ebbs has stayed relatively quiet on the social media front during Siwa’s stint in the Big Brother house thanks to the young performer’s bond with housemate Chris Hughes, 32.
Despite being in a relationship during her time in the house, Siwa engaged in a number of intimate and flirtatious interactions with Hughes.
However, both reality TV stars insisted they “loved” each other purely as friends – but that hasn’t stopped Ebbs facing relentless trolling about Siwa’s behaviour.

Ebbs has now broken her silence on the ordeal, saying in an Instagram video she’s been left “hurt” and “humiliated” to be “dumped” by Siwa at the Big Brother after party.
“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.”
Ebbs went on to say they’d experienced a version of “love bombing” by Siwa prior to her Big Brother stint.
Ebbs claimed Siwa has suggested getting married after the show and had “adored” them “behind closed doors”.
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 I guess 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).”
Ebbs wrote in the accompanying caption of the post that they had “egg on me”, before being supported by hundreds of supporters in the comments section.
Despite her flirty encounters with Hughes in the Big Brother house, Ebbs didn’t confirm whether or not he played a direct part in Siwa’s decision to end the relationship.
Siwa often brought up Ebbs while in the Big Brother house, admitting she was missing them and was eager to see them again.
However, cracks began to show when Siwa questioned Ebbs’ contribution to the letter she received from home.
Siwa was upset that Ebbs had only said she was “keen” to see her when she left the Big Brother house, with no mention of “love” or other heartfelt messages.
The 21-year-old singer and dancer was comforted by Hughes after receiving her letter from home.
During Friday’s finale, Hughes finished in sixth place behind Chesney Hawkes, Donna Preston, Siwa, Danny Beard, and eventual winner, Jack P Shepherd.
Siwa finished in third place, but caused quite a stir with her finale ensemble due to a number of political messages she’d incorporated into the design.
