Celebrity Big Brother fans have pointed out that JoJo Siwa not only met, but posed with Jedward last year, despite insisting that she had no idea who they are on Wednesday’s instalment of the ITV show.
Dance Mom’s star JoJo, 21, who has been growing close to Love Island’s Chris Hughes, 32, spoke to Big Brother in the Diary Room on Wednesday after the housemates took part in a healing sound bath led by EastEnders‘ Patsy Palmer. After JoJo and Drag Race UK star Danny Beard engaged in a heart-to-heart after the US star put Danny up for eviction, the pair put their negative energy to bed as they talked it over in the garden.
However, while speaking to Big Brother, JoJo further called out Danny as she revealed that he had been calling her and Chris ‘the Jedward’s’. When asked by Big Brother if she knew who Jedward are, JoJo said that she had never heard of them in her life, but that Chris had told her that they were these “two annoying Irish twins”.

JoJo insisted that she didn’t have a clue who X Factor twins John and Edward Grimes were, but eagle-eyed fans have flocked to X to remind the star that she not only met them, but posed in a picture with them last year. The Dublin-born twins took to X at the start of the month to share the throwback snap of them posing with JoJo at a festival.
Alongside the snap, the twins wrote: “Last year we told@itsjojosiwa to do #CBB she’s our triplet with Jepic energy your welcome.” After JoJo’s confession, Celebrity Big Brother fans flocked to the post to let Jedward know what JoJo had said.
“I think she forgot,” one quipped. Another echoed: “Ummmm she’s literally just said she doesn’t know who you are on national TV.” Someone else added: “Not JoJo forgetting who Jedward are. Literally the most unforgettable twins on the planet.”

It comes after it was an awkward Tuesday morning for JoJo and Chris in the Celebrity Big Brother house, as Danny woke up to see them cuddling in bed together. Chris and JoJo’s close friendship has been a huge talking point in the house, as the pair have been getting close, giving each other massages and cuddling in bed. Although Chris is single, JoJo has been seeing her partner Kath Ebbs since November.
As he woke up, Danny looked over at the two in bed and asked if the pair had been in bed together all night. JoJo then revealed they hadn’t before Danny said he hopes she’s prepared for her partner to “throw some punches.” As JoJo nervously laughed she claimed Kath “wouldn’t care”.
Taking to X, formerly known as Twitter, one fan penned: “It’s interesting how JoJo seems sure that her girlfriend won’t care about her behaviour with Chris. Maybe they have an open relationship or they discussed boundaries before she entered the house,” while another wrote: “Not Danny saying JoJo’s girlfriend will punch Chris in the face!”
Kath has been silent on social media since comments about Chris and JoJo started, as some fans predict she won’t be in London for the final to support JoJo.
Celebrity Big Brother 2025 airs weeknights and Sundays at 9PM on ITV1 and ITVX.
