Fans will remember earlier this year American star JoJo Siwa entered the Big Brother house for the celebrity edition, before taking third place.
After the show, the 22-year-old ended her public relationship with then girlfriend Kath Ebbs, later confirming her new romance with fellow housemate Chris Hughes. During their time on the show, JoJo and Chris appeared to grow closer as their bon strengthened, sparking rumours amongst fans.
Since their Big Brother stint, the two have gone from strength the strength. Now, JoJo has returned to the iconic house for Big Brother’s Late and Live.
But she soon became emotional as host Will Best asked: “Are you alright mate, are you having a little cry?”
JoJo replied: “I’m having a big cry.”
Composing herself, she said: “That’s where it all happened. I’m fine, I’m fine, we’ve got to move on. This is crazy.”

Will added: “Ever the professional.”
JoJo went on to say: “This is crazy. It’s overwhelming for a lot of reasons, to see how this backstage is, but to see them in the hot tub, first of all get out of my hot tub, that’s my hot tub.
“But they’re just chilling right now. It’s fascinating because they don’t know they’re being watched.”
And fans instantly took to social media to share their support. Taking to X, one person wrote: “JoJo Siwa crying in the camera runs was not on my bingo card this evening. Anyone who didn’t know her and Chris Hughes are still together and thriving is going to be floored.”
Another said: “That was SO sweet. JoJo’s a gem.”
A third added: “Help? JoJo Siwa is crying behind a mirror in the Big Brother House???”
A fourth penned: “Jojo Siwa CRYING at being in the camera runs observing the housemates.”
Another commented: “Jojo getting emotional watching from the cameras runs.”
One fan echoed: “Not JoJo full on crying in the camera runs.”
Big Brother continues tonight at 9pm on ITV2 and ITVX.
