Married At First Sight star Lucinda Light has weighed in on the drama surrounding JoJo Siwa and Chris Hughes’ friendship.
The 21-year-old Karma hitmaker’s super close bond with the Love Island star, 32, had set tongues wagging while they were on Celebrity Big Brother.
And soon after JoJo’s girlfriend Kath Ebbs confirmed that they and JoJo are no longer together after she called things off at the show’s afterparty amid her closeness with Chris.
Lucinda shared a photo with JoJo and Chris to Instagram on Monday after appearing on British chat show This Morning and praised them for being ‘bold and brave’.
‘Just met these two radiant humans today at @thismorning for the first time! I didn’t watch Big Brother, and… I was not across the breakup and their dynamic,’ she began.
‘Lots of you have opinions about what they did or didn’t do — and I get it — but I’ve already shared this post and stand by it. Who am I to judge on the intricacies of it all~ it’s reality TV after all.
‘It’s bold and brave going on a TV show like this and putting yourself out there. Congrats on making your way through and now to navigate it all on the out. Bless this mess. @itsjojosiwa & @chrishughesofficial!
‘Glad I got to say a cheeky hello today. May we all learn our lessons. May we walk humbly. May we forgive ourselves and each other. May we empathise. May we grow.’
It comes after Kath was spotted leaving the same London hotel JoJo is staying in following their split on Sunday.
According to The Sun, the Aussie influencer was seen departing before posing for selfies with fans, while JoJo was spotted separately and appeared downcast as she looked at her phone.
On Saturday, JoJo returned to social media and hinted at her desire to stay in the UK, following her blossoming friendship with Chris.
Her telling video came mere hours before Kath, who she has been dating since November, took to Instagram to confirm they had split at the CBB afterparty.
On Sunday, Kath acknowledged that the star ‘fell in love’ with Chris during their time together on Celebrity Big Brother.
JoJo had been in the house for 19 days and finished the show in third place, after Drag Race UK star Danny Beard finished in second and Coronation Street’s Jack P Shepherd was crowned the winner.
After revealing she had been brutally ditched by JoJo, Kath has now cryptically suggested that their former partner had ‘fallen in love in real time’ on television.
A fan of Kath posted a video discussing their break-up, saying: ‘Imagine watching your partner fall in love with someone else in real time. Cannot even begin to fathom that.’
Kath liked the comment, suggesting they felt the same.
Meanwhile, the pair, who insist their friendship is purely platonic, raised eyebrows among their fellow housemates and the viewing public over their closeness.
After JoJo revealed she no longer identifies as a lesbian in the CBB house, Kath shared a cryptic post seemingly aimed at her admission.
Kath, who uses they/them pronouns, shared a picture of two women in a protest holding a sign which read: ‘A day without lesbians is like a day without sunshine’.
JoJo confided in Danny about her sexuality following her ‘flirty’ relationship with her co-star.
She said: ‘I feel so queer. I’ve never – I think I’ve always told myself, I’m a lesbian. I think you – I think being here – I’ve realised I am not a lesbian, I’m queer.
‘And I think that’s really cool, I’m switching letters! I’ve dropped the L and I’ve gone to the Q baby! That’s what I love about sexuality.’
Fans are convinced the singer will now embark on a romance with Chris after dramatically dumping her partner Kath.
