At night, the pair have been seen talking in bed, and even get in trouble in tonight’s episode after she wrote something on his hand with her finger, while laying on the floor next to his bed.
Some believe she wrote ‘E HEARTS YOU’ – in reference to housemate Ella Rae Wise – and before entering the house JoJo made it clear her feelings were with her non-binary partner, Kath.
Speaking on Paul Brunson’s We Need to Talk podcast just two hours before she entered the house, JoJo opened up about her s3xuality journey, saying she was ‘still on one for sure’.
Regardless she said: “I have the most amazing, beautiful partner, they are incredible human being who I don’t know how I snagged them at all.

“With Kath, I just trust them beyond trust.”
JoJo even admitted she dreamed of starting a family, saying: “I just want to be a mom… I’ve had a very maternal instinct for a very long time, since I was 12”
JoJo came out at 2021 – at a time when she was known for her love of rainbows and high blonde ponytail, amassing millions of fans online.
She reflected on the time as both positive and negative, saying: “Elton John called me, got my phone number and called me… He just wanted to say how proud he was of me and congratulations.”

“I thought it was all positive, and then I scrolled, and I was like, ‘holy s**t,” she added. “And my thought wasn’t ‘woah, people are being so mean to me’, it was ‘woah, people are really h0m0phobic, still.'”
Since being in the Celebrity Big Brother house, JoJo has been confronted with more comments about her s3xuality, with Mickey Rourke telling her “four days with me and you won’t be gay anymore”.

She stood her ground, responding to the 72-year-old: “I can guarantee I’ll still be gay and I’ll still be in a very happy relationship.”
When Mickey later made h0m0ph0bic remarks and language about JoJo, Chris jumped to her defence, telling him he “couldn’t do that” before comforting JoJo in the aftermath.
Mickey was given a formal warning and three days later was removed from the house over a separate incident with Chris.
Since their their friendship has intensified – to the point JoJo’s partner Kath has been targeted by trolls online.
While initially defending JoJo and praising their girlfriend for showing ‘grace’ to Mickey after his comments, she’s not posted online in three days as she hides from cruel taunts.
Celebrity Big Brother continues tonight at 9pm on ITV and ITVX.
