Yesterday, non-binary Kath claimed JoJo dumped them at the series wrap party after striking up a close friendship with Chris Hughes in the house.
JoJo is yet to publicly comment on Kath’s accusations of ‘love-bombing’ and ’emotional cheating’ but has shared posts promoting her upcoming tour and interactions with young Brit fans.
Having reclaimed ownership of her social media account from her mum Jesslynn, JoJo responded to the question: “I know you just came out of the Big Brother house but do you want anything?”
Lying on her hotel bed, she mimed: “Yeah I just want to stay in the UK. That’s all I want.”
There was no mention of her split from Kath, which took place just hours earlier.
Taking to Instagram yesterday afternoon, Aussie content creator Kath, 27, said they were in “complete shock” and felt “numbed out and humiliated”.
In an emotional video, they claimed JoJo had discussed marriage before the series began and said the US star had called them “the love of her life”.
They captioned the upload, “Egg on me I guess,” and were inundated with supportive messages from fans.
From the beginning of the series until last night’s final, Kath witnessed JoJo and Chris Hughes’ increasingly intimate and tactile behaviour.
There were nightly cuddles in bed, slow dancing and even canoodling in a hot tub all of which raised eyebrows among viewers and housemates.
Drag Race UK star Danny Beard even warned them: “You two need to either f**k or stop.”
Kath said they had “been hurt by what I saw, but wanted to work through it” in reference to JoJo’s close friendship with Chris, 32.
They added: “Before I could even get back to the hotel I went to the afterparty with, I guess my now ex, crazy thing to say, and was dumped in the party.
“I was told that there are confused feelings there, do with that what you will, and they had realised in the house that I wasn’t the person they wanted to spend the foreseeable.”
One supporter raged: “I’m fuming for you. Idk if it’s too soon to mention but let’s just say Karma IS a b*tch, let her cook.”
Another said: “I’m so sorry for both of you I think JoJo just needed to find herself and doing cbb she found part of herself, sending huge loves and hugs it so very sad but onwards and upwards beauts.”
A third posted: “Wow! I have followed you for years. You were far too good for this person anyways. You have left with dignity sending love.”
Another said: “I have been watching this unfold and I cannot imagine what you are going through – I’m so sorry Kath, you are such an icon for so many Australian lgbtqia+ members! You’re so much more than this.”
The pair reunited at the wrap party following dancer JoJo’s third placed finish.
Chris and JoJo were grilled about their closeness by hosts AJ Odudu and Will Best after leaving the house but insisted they were just good friends.
After the housemates received letters from home ahead of the final, JoJo cryptically told Chris in the bedroom: “I’ve been better. Give me 48 hours. Love you, appreciate you. You’re a special one.”
JoJo explained on Late and Live that receiving the letter from home left her discombobulated as she’d blanked out the outside world up until that point.
She said Chris reassured her it was normal and that with the final so close and that it was OK for her to let her mind drift to loved ones.
