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.
