UPDATE: |JoJo Siwa accuses Celebrity Big Brother co-star of spreading drama and declares ‘I hate gossip’ News

The pop singer has been one of the most popular constestants on the ITV reality show

JoJo Siwa has accused one of her Celebrity Big Brother co-stars of spreading drama as she declared that she ‘hates gossip’.

The first eviction of the latest season of the ITV reality show saw former MP Michael Fabricant sent home over actor Mickey Rourke and Coronation Street’s Jack P Shepherd.

Mickey went on to become the second person to leave, after he was removed from the house by Big Brother over instances of ‘inappropriate language’ and ‘instances of unacceptable behaviour’.

Monday night’s (April 14) episode will see the 11 remaining famous faces revealing their nominations for Tuesday’s (April 15) eviction.

With the nominations always revealing what the housemates really think of one another, TV personality and singer JoJo has accused TOWIE’s Ella Rae Wise, of spreading drama about her and Chris Hughes.

JoJo and Chris’ friendship has left viewers surprised, with Love Island’s Chris seen scratching the former Dance Moms’ star’s back in bed on Sunday (April 13).

Explaining her choice to nominate Ella, JoJo said: “I find that conversations with Ella… (are) very forced and (I) feel like I really have try to come up with something to talk about. I feel like I’m really on eggshells.

“I overheard her say something today when I was in the garden with Chris – (she said) something about me and Chris whispering at night.

“And so that got me thinking, (she is) trying to spread drama in a way, and, I don’t know, I feel like it’s an interesting dynamic, I don’t like gossip.”

In a clip shared on Celebrity Big Brother: Late And Live, JoJo said that while she enjoys ‘silly gossip’, she doesn’t like when things turn ‘catty’.

“It’s not for me, and I don’t think it’s for this house, I think it can kill the vibes,” she said.

The pair’s friendship began when Chris defended JoJo, who has a non-binary partner, after Mickey said he would ‘vote the lesbian out real quick’.

Meanwhile, Chris’ brother Ben appeared on Good Morning Britain on Monday to have his say on his friendship with JoJo.

Ben said: “I actually think that maybe they’ve formed a great friendship due to the fact that Chris stood up for JoJo.

“I think JoJo is in a solid relationship, Chris will know that and I just think that they’ve got each other’s backs.”

Filling in for Lorraine Kelly, presenter Kate Garraway joked: “Literally, as it turns out.”

Celebrity Big Brothers airs at 9pm on ITV1 and ITVX.
