CBB's JoJo Siwa has private reunion with partner Kath Ebbs off camera

JoJo Siwa had a private reunion with her partner Kath Ebbs off camera after leaving the Celebrity Big Brother house on Friday.

The singer, 21, finished up in third place during the grand final and while the other contestants were publicly greeted by their loved ones by the side of the stage, no one was there to meet JoJo.

And while it looks as though the star was snubbed by her partner amid the furore around JoJo's closeness with Chris Hughes, Kath was actually backstage after reportedly refusing to reunite with their love on camera. 

The Karma hitmaker has raised eyebrows with her 'intimate' friendship with former Love Island star Chris, 32, with Kath going on to receive cruel online abuse over the pair's super close bond.

Amid worries over the pair's relationship, JoJo's mum Jessalyn confirmed on Friday that Kath did indeed make the trip over from Australia to greet JoJo, but they preferred their reunion to be 'off camera'.

Alongside a video of JoJo dancing, Dance Moms star Jess penned on both TikTok and Instagram: 'I can finally tell you all Kath is there in London with JoJo and they just didn’t want their reunion on camera - so it was private off camera. 

'For those extra worried …I would have been there in a heartbeat but JoJo wanted her girlfriend there not her mommy. all good troops, all good, I promise :) Love Dance Mom Jess.'

While Kath wasn't seen greeting their girlfriend onstage, it's been reported that they had issued demands to Big Brother bosses for the finale in which they refused to be photographed in any way.    

A source told The Sun: 'Kath has surprised everyone by coming to meet JoJo when she leaves the house tonight, but [they] gave Celebrity Big Brother bosses strict orders that [they] wont be in any camera shots - filmed or still camera - nothing.

'[They're] stressed and has demanded [they] remain backstage out of sight.'

The insider added that while everyone was greeted by family and friends by the side of the stage, JoJo was 'whisked away' in a car.

MailOnline have contacted Big Brother representatives for comment.

It was feared that Kath wouldn't make the final amid fears over their relationship with JoJo, with fans speculating that they had dumped the star following the 'cold' letter they wrote the star this week.

Following the housemates receiving a letter from their loved ones after completing their latest task, viewers believed there was a cryptic message to be deciphered from JoJo's partner's 'cold' words.

The note, which was read out by Chris, had been penned by the dancer's mum Jessalynn but included a brief note from Kath. 

It read: 'The most important thing to tell you is a message from Kath because I know you really miss them the most. Kath's "keen to see you when you get out".

Racing to X fans speculated:  'The stark difference in JoJo's letter compared to the others': 'JoJo's letter from home "You're Dumped"': 'JoJo's letter was a THREAT': 'I mean honesty, I get her over analysing this letter, It was the "Kath's keen to see you when you get out: in quotation marks. The fact that JoJo is overthinking show she's 2nd guessing how she's behaved in the house with Chris'.

Kath's message in particular appeared to stick with JoJo, as she later told Jack P Shepherd: 'I honestly like, I'm finding myself really analysing that note and like I don't like it.' 

Talking about reading JoJo's letter in the Diary Room, Chris said: '...I nearly started crying before I said anything, just where it said, ''Dear JoJo''. 

'And it was nice, her partner's in there, her mum's in there. Two very important people. It was an honour; it was an honour to read out her letter…'

Later in the diary room, JoJo confessed: 'I think I've tried to keep myself distracted from missing sweet Kath. 

'I said goodbye to them at the airport and it was a really hard goodbye. And then they were the last person I talked to before I gave up my phone for the Big Brother house. God, I love that little sucker. I do.'

'I do have beef to pick with them though, they didn't even say in the note that they love me. I will not let them live that down. I will say, 'where was my 'hi sweetheart', where was my ''I love you'' where was my ''I miss you''?'. 

'Like happy you're keen to see me when I get out of here, keen to see you as well, but come on baba, give me a little something something.'

JoJo had previously shared that Kath had promised to fly to the UK from Australia to meet her in the CBB final.

However, in recent days, Kath has faced cruel online taunts from trolls claiming their partner has been 'cheating' with Chris, forcing them to disable comments on Instagram.
