Celebrity Big Brother star JoJo Siwa dumped her partner of seven-months, Kath Ebbs, at the wrap party of the ITV show after growing close to housemate Chris Hughes

JoJo Siwa’s ex Kath Ebbs has issued a stark warning to the Dance Moms star saying ‘attacks on my character are not something I take lightly.’ Australian actress Kath, 27, said that they were dumped by JoJo, 21, at the Celebrity Big Brother afterparty when they flew to the UK to celebrate JoJo making it to the final of the ITV show.

However, after JoJo developed an incredibly close bond with fellow housemate and former Love Island star Chris Hughes, 32, she said that she had ‘many realisations’ while being immersed in the experiment.

When the final came around after her three weeks in the house, JoJo told the media that she had a realisation that she actually wasn’t as happy as she thought she was and being on the show made her look at her life and what she wanted from the future.

JoJo, who had been dating Kath for seven months before entering the Celebrity Big Brother house, called off their relationship on Friday night during the TV afterparty. Naturally, after travelling half-way across the world to celebrate their partner, Kath was left blindsided and heartbroken by JoJo’s decision to dump them on the night – and they have faced a lot of hate online since – especially due to JoJo and Chris’ incredibly close friendship.

In a statement, Kath told the Mirror: “It’s really unfortunate that my relationship with this person is being reduced to untrue allegations about what happened at a party. The public has only heard one side of the story. Attacks on my character are not something I take lightly, especially from someone I cared for deeply and shared a committed relationship with.”

It comes as JoJo landed back to her hometown of LA this week. Upon arrival, she appeared to make a cutting dig at Kath. Just days earlier, Kath went public with the news that JoJo ended their relationship at the CBB wrap party. Posting on Instagram, the Australian content creator described the moment as a “complete shock,” saying they felt “numbed out and humiliated” by the split.

While back in the US, JoJo hinted that her time in the house prompted deep self-reflection. “Can I be honest? No,” she said when asked if she was happy to be home. “I want to go back, I want to go back.”

Pressed about what she learned during her time on the show, she subtly alluded to her personal life, saying: “Probably [that I] learned more about myself… I think that I had a lot of things in my life I wasn’t happy about. And being there forced me to change that, and that’s good. I needed that.”

While JoJo was finding clarity inside the CBB house, Kath was navigating heartbreak on the outside. They later hinted on social media that JoJo’s connection with fellow housemate Chris played a role in the breakup. One commenter remarked, “Imagine watching your partner fall in love with someone else in real time,” to which Kath quietly affirmed by liking the post.

Though JoJo has yet to directly confirm romantic feelings for the Love Island alum, she’s been vocal about the tight-knit relationship they formed. “It was incredible, it was life changing, it was magical,” she said about the Celebrity Big Brother experience. “I got to meet a best friend,” she added, referencing Chris as she loaded her luggage into a car.

The pair’s close bond sparked plenty of speculation, and during a recent appearance on This Morning, Chris offered clarity. “It’s a soulmate friendship,” he explained. “It’s not your typical friendship, but it’s still a friendship. We’re friends.”

JoJo echoed the sentiment, saying, “He’s a gorgeous boy, look, he’s a great guy… it is platonic, we have a lot of fun together.” She added thoughtfully, “Life is life and I don’t know any future of anything but I’m really grateful for the dynamic that we have and the bond that we have. Whatever life does, life will do.”

Both Claudia Winkleman and Kate Middleton are a known fan of Johnstons of Elgin, and Princess Kate’s green jumper looks like it was straight out of Claudia’s Traitors wardrobe

Royal fans were delighted when Prince William and Kate Middleton made two public appearances earlier this week, as they headed on a two-day visit to the Isles of Mull and Iona. Whilst taking the ferry across to the Isle of Iona, Princess Kate opted for a countryside-ready outfit – and it looked like she’d been taking notes from Claudia Winkleman’s iconic looks on The Traitors.

Claudia’s chic country outfits have become the star of the BBC show – which is also filmed in Scotland – and she helped make Johnstons of Elgin’s cashmere pieces a coveted wardrobe staple. Kate is also no stranger to the brand’s luxurious cashmere pieces, having previously worn several cosy jumpers from them in the past.

During her ferry ride the Princess of Wales was seen wearing a moss green V-neck jumper, and although we can’t say for sure, it looks just like Johnstons of Elgin’s Classic Cashmere V Neck in the shade olive green. The cosy jumper is priced at £425 and is made from 100% two ply cashmere, with a relaxed fit and V-neckline.

Kate teamed her green jumper with a broderie anglaise blouse, tweed blazer, skinny jeans and a pair of heeled ankle boots – all of which have been worn by Claudia on The Traitors. One of Claudia’s most sought-after pieces from this year’s series was her Cashmere &amp, Wool Gun Club Shacket, which also hailed from Johnstons of Elgin.

Although the exact pattern of Claudia’s jacket is now sold out (it was filmed last year, after all), you can still grab her cashmere shacket in a similar grey and charcoal check, or in a beige herringbone print. If you want to copy Kate’s green jumper but your budget won’t quite stretch to the £425 Classic Cashmere V Neck, we found some other more affordable picks.

This Estheme Cashmere Jumper V-Neck Linen In Khaki Green is £115 from Elizabeth Rose and comes in a deep green shade similar to Kate’s. Elsewhere, this Lewis Lambswool V Neck Jumper from Schoffel is £120, and whilst it’s technically from the men’s section, it’s perfect for getting that laid back, relaxed look that Claudia has.

For something extra affordable, the Khaki V-Neck Stretch Jumper from Roman Originals is just £25. Whilst it’s not made from cashmere, it has a soft touch finish and a slouchy “boyfriend fit” that makes it a winner.

Beyoncé officially kicked off her Cowboy Carter tour this week, and although she won’t be heading to the UK for another month, it’s the perfect chance to get your outfit prepped.

Of course, you can wear whatever you want to the concert, but with the cowboy theme front and centre, why not have fun and play around with some western fashion? And arguably, the most prominent piece of cowboy fashion is cowboy boots.

I’m heading to the tour in June, and I’ve already got my boots ready and broken in so I can dance all night long. The pair I’ve opted for are New Look’s Black Faux Leather Boots, priced at £59.99. I’m a big fan of New Look boots for their comfort and affordability.

Graham Norton has put his luxurious London home up for sale for a cool £4.5million after admitting he wanted a change and said he was ‘ finally feeling brave enough ‘ to make that step

Graham Norton has put his luxury London home on sale for nearly £5million. The Eurovision host has reportedly decided to put the four-bedroom home up for sale and it is being listed for a huge £4.95million.

The sprawling property is on the banks of the River Thames and he has been living there for two decades but Graham is believed to fancy a change. The incredible property is four storeys tall and has a stunning view of the river as well as a riverside garden.

The property features no less than two reception rooms and five bathrooms and it has some stunning double height ceilings as well a rather unique feature; an internal patio courtyard garden, the Mail Online reports.

Speaking about making the decision, he told The Sunday Times recently: “We’ve been thinking about it for a couple of years and I finally feel brave enough to make a huge change to my life.

“My favourite times have definitely been enjoying a drink sitting by the river on a summer’s evening. My least favourite memory in the house was that time one of the dogs got stuck in a neighbour’s shrub.”

The stunning property is described by estate agents Knight and Frank as a” beautifully presented and unique home “which is” in a prime and central Wapping setting “and is” incredibly rare “to the market.

The property has the charm and character of a period Georgian town house whilst there is also lots of open space – mainly thanks to the additional detached former warehouse, which gives it a loft-like space.

Describing the property, they write:” This Georgian home offers versatile space over four floors, comprising eight main rooms and currently features a welcoming and generously sized entrance lobby, two reception rooms, a principal suite with a vast ensuite bathroom that occupies the entire top floor, there are two double bedrooms both with ensuite shower rooms, a further double bedroom, a guest W/C, and a well-planned kitchen.

“The rear adjoining building incorporates extensive space over two floors, offering double heights ceilings, lots of natural light and plenty of charm. There is large open plan living accommodation dominating the upper floor which has vaulted ceilings, views of the river and direct access to the rear garden. The lower part features a shower room, a useful large storage room and a lounge.The generously sized riverside garden is owned and well-maintained by the residents’ management company.”

Beloved broadcaster Sir David Attenborough made a candid confession about ‘ nearing the end of his life’, but still hopes of reaching his 100th birthday, partly due to his diet

Sir David Attenborough is set to mark his 99th birthday in a few days, but has acknowledged that he is “nearing the end of his life”. While he has expressed his desire to reach his 100th birthday, the legendary broadcaster has credited some of his enduring health and vigour to his brilliant diet.

While he hasn’t fully adopted a vegetarian lifestyle, Attenborough, who turns 99 on May 9, drastically scaled back his red meat consumption, a move he believes could be contributing to his impressive longevity. Back in 2017, Attenborough shared insights into his eating habits and revealed: “I have certainly changed my diet. Not in a great sort of dramatic way. But I don’t think I’ve eaten red meat for months”.

He also admitted: “I do eat cheese, I have to say, and I eat fish. But by and large, I’ve become much more vegetarian over the past few years than I thought I would ever be”.

Studies have consistently shown that plant-based diets can help extend life by staving off chronic diseases. They also reduce one’s carbon footprint – a matter very dear to the environmentalist, reports the Express.

Red meat includes beef, lamb, mutton, pork, veal, venison and goat. Eating too much processed meat and red meat probably increases your risk of bowel (colorectal) cancer, according to the NHS.

Some meats are high in saturated fat, which can raise blood cholesterol levels if you eat too much of it. Having high cholesterol raises your risk of coronary heart disease.

Despite maintaining a healthy diet and staying mentally sharp, Attenborough confessed to Anderson Cooper in a 2021 interview that he fears cognitive decline as he gets older, with the prospect of becoming “helpless” due to a condition like Alzheimer’s being among his greatest concerns.

He also confided to the Telegraph about his concerns regarding ageing, saying he is “coming to terms” with the possibility of memory loss as he grows older. This week, the wildlife guru made a candid admission and touched on his mortality in his latest captivating documentary, Ocean with David Attenborough, as he nears his 99th birthday.

“When I first saw the sea as a young boy, it was thought of as a vast wilderness to be tamed and mastered for the benefit of humanity. Now, as I approach the end of my life, we know the opposite is true. After living for nearly a hundred years on this planet, I now understand that the most important place on Earth is not on land, but at sea”, he revealed.

He also voiced his deep worries about the deteriorating state of the ocean, confessing: “Today, it is in such poor health I would find it hard not to lose hope were it not for the most remarkable discovery of all”.

However, Attenborough clung to optimism, asserting that marine environments can bounce back strongly. He insisted: “If we save the sea, we save our world. After a lifetime of filming our planet, I’m sure nothing is more important”.
