JoJo Siwa Says ‘No One Backed Me’ on Celebrity Big Brother Decision

by Coco

JoJo Siwa revealed that she went against the wishes of her team to join Celebrity Big Brother UK, following her instincts instead of their advice.

Speaking to PEOPLE at Universal’s Epic Universe Celestial Carpet Opening in Orlando, the 22-year-old star said, “Nobody on my team wanted me to do it. Everyone tried to discourage me from doing it.” But she followed her gut, believing it was the right move. “For some reason, I was really set on doing it,” she said.

Siwa, who became famous after appearing on Dance Moms, finished her time on season 24 of Celebrity Big Brother UK in April. Before entering the house, she told her mother, “I think this is going to be the best thing I’ve ever done in my life.” She added that she wasn’t referring to her career, but to her personal growth — and believes she was right.

During the show, Siwa built a close bond with Love Island alum Chris Hughes. The two sparked speculation about a possible romance after spending a lot of time together in and out of the Big Brother house. On the show, she also clarified her sexuality. Speaking to fellow housemate Danny Beard, she said, “I’ve dropped the L and I’ve gone to the Q baby!” explaining that she now identifies as queer rather than lesbian.

After the season ended, Siwa and Hughes appeared on the UK morning show This Morning on April 28. She addressed the dating rumors, saying, “He’s a gorgeous boy… It is platonic, we have a lot of fun together.” She continued, “I don’t know what the future holds, but I’m grateful for the bond we have.”

Still, recent events suggest the connection may be turning romantic. On May 22, The Sun shared a photo that appeared to show Siwa and Hughes kissing in a hotel pool in Mexico, although the image wasn’t clear. The day before, Siwa posted an Instagram carousel that featured Hughes multiple times. One photo showed the two sitting closely, with her leg resting on his and her head on his shoulder.

At the Epic Universe event, Siwa reflected on where she is in life. “I’m in such a great place. I’m so, so happy,” she said. “I told someone recently, ‘I don’t think humans are meant to feel this happy.’ And they told me, ‘No, I think you are.’ That felt really good.”
