Abbie Chatfield has finally broken her silence on best friend Kath Ebbs’ devastating split from JoJo Siwa following her time on Celebrity Big Brother.
The radio star, 29, took to Instagram this week to share her fury over the situation, revealing she had been ‘livid for weeks’ after watching Kath get dumped by JoJo at the show’s afterparty.
‘You think you’re shocked?? IMAGINE HOW WE FEEL!!!!!’ Abbie wrote under a post discussing the drama, clearly siding with her heartbroken friend.
In another screenshot from a group video call, Abbie and several friends – including Kath – appeared visibly stunned as they reacted in real time to JoJo’s flirty friendship with fellow housemate Chris Hughes during the show.
Abbie wasn’t alone in her outrage, with fans also rallying behind Kath, flooding the comments section with support.
‘I’ve been waiting to hear your opinion on this,’ one follower wrote, while another added, ‘We forgot that JoJo is a bad girl and she’s done some bad things.’

Kath, who uses they/them pronouns, confirmed over the weekend that JoJo had dramatically dumped them at the Celebrity Big Brother afterparty – just hours after the show wrapped.
Heartbroken Kath later suggested that JoJo, 21, had ‘fallen in love in real time’ with former Love Island star Chris, 32, while still in the house.
She liked a fan’s comment which read: ‘Imagine watching your partner fall in love with someone else in real time.’
The drama began to unfold inside the Big Brother house, where viewers noticed JoJo and Chris growing increasingly close.
Some scenes sparked speculation over whether their bond was purely platonic.
JoJo herself sent shockwaves through the house when she revealed she no longer identifies as a lesbian, but as queer, confessing:
‘I feel so queer. I’ve never – I think I’ve always told myself, I’m a lesbian. I think being here – I’ve realised I am not a lesbian, I’m queer.’
She added: ‘I’ve dropped the L and gone to the Q baby! That’s what I love about sexuality.’

Following the finale, Kath has cryptically suggested that their former partner JoJo had ‘fallen in love in real time’ when she was on TV
Meanwhile, Kath posted a cryptic photo to their own Instagram showing two women holding a sign that read: ‘A day without lesbians is like a day without sunshine,’ appearing to subtly shade JoJo’s comments.
Fuel was added to the fire when JoJo, who finished third on Celebrity Big Brother, was seen leaving the finale stage without being greeted by a loved one – despite other housemates receiving warm reunions.
It later emerged that Kath was indeed at the event but refused to reunite with JoJo publicly following the break-up bombshell.
Opening up on social media, Kath admitted they felt ‘numbed out’ and described their whirlwind relationship with JoJo as ‘some version of love bombing’.
Fans now believe JoJo could pursue a romance with Chris, after Danny Beard, who finished second, joked on the show that the pair should either ‘f*** or stop’ amid their undeniable chemistry.
While Kath has already unfollowed JoJo on Instagram, JoJo has yet to do the same, still following Kath despite their split.
