And, if you need a quick refresher, here’s a quick TL;DR: JoJo was dating Kath (who uses they/them pronouns) when she went on Celebrity Big Brother UK, where she met and quickly bonded with former Love Island star Chris. Kath accused JoJo of “emotionally” cheating on them during her time on the show, and shortly after they called it quits in April, JoJo ended up soft-launching a romantic relationship with Chris (who she’s still currently dating) in June.In a recent plot twist nobody saw coming, Kath admitted that they were actually a fan of Chris when he was in the Love Island villa in 2017. During an interview on The Mitch Churi Chat Show podcast, Kath shared that they told their ex to form an alliance with Chris in the Big Brother house.View full post on Instagram “I was so sad, ’cause I loved him on Love Island,” Kath said of JoJo’s relationship with Chris, as the host added, “That’s hard.” “I know,” Kath continued, adding, “But I thought it was hilarious, ’cause we got the [Big Brother cast] lineup before she went in. And we’re going through it…I was like, ‘I love reality TV. I watch everything. I know everything about things I shouldn’t know about.’” Kath had asked JoJo if they could see the cast list, which included Chris. “I go, ‘Perfect. He’s so funny, I love him.’ I watched him on Love Island. I was showing her clips on TikTok,” Kath explained, adding that they had actually advised JoJo to befriend Chris in the Big Brother house.

He is your straight white man, ’cause he’s a little bit fruity.’ And she was like, ‘Great,’ and I was like, ‘Great,’” the content creator dished. Things seemingly took a turn as JoJo—who was still romantically linked to Kath—met Chris on the show. They quickly bonded when they had a heart-to-heart about gender identity and sexuality, and the Dance Moms alum claimed that she and Chris were nothing but platonic. At the same time, Kath alleged that JoJo had “emotionally” cheated on them, and they eventually broke up in April. “Then, as I was watching [Big Brother], I was like, ‘That’s not what I meant!’” Kath said during the pod, adding that they initially thought JoJo was trying to impress them by becoming friendly with Chris.
