JoJo Siwa has teased she may not be away from the UK for too long as she admitted to missing one of her Celebrity Big Brother co-stars - but it wasn't her 'soulmate friend' Chris Hughes.

The singer and former Dance Moms star made it to the final six in the popular ITV programme, before finishing in third place behind runner-up Danny Beard and winner Jack P Shepherd during the live final last Friday night (April 25).


It was then shortly after an appearance on This Morning, alongside former Love Island star Chris, on Monday (April 28), that JoJo was headed back to LA.


Taking to Instagram as she arrived back on home soil, JoJo gushed over her experience, and even gave 'Christopher' a special shout-out. Alongside a video compilation of her almost three weeks in the famous compound, she said: "Recap of my time in the Big Brother House.

"Quite emotional today as I’ve landed back in LA, saying goodbye to the U.K., and one of my favourite things that I’ve ever done in my life. The last 20 days I’ve faced some of the highest highs and lowest lows and it’s so crazy to think that all of them were public, but it’s honestly quite a beautiful thing.

"So very grateful for the love and support I received from you while I was in the house. Being so vulnerable and not know what the world will do or say was scary, but coming out of the house and seeing the absolute outpour of love and support that happened while I was in there was just wild and made me cry with tears of happiness. It makes me very emotional and just means so much. Thank you.

"I’ve learned so much about myself in the Big Brother House and wouldn’t change a thing about the journey. I wish I could go back in time and live it over and over again."

She went on: "To my perfectly dysfunctional functional family from inside the house…. Gosh do I love you guys. Thank you for becoming family, for all the good cooking, all the good chats, every laugh, every dance step, every hug, every cry, everything. This wouldn’t have been the same with any other people, so happy to have you all in my life forever now.


"Special shout to Christopher, Jack, Donna, Chesatron, and Danny… my sweetest fellow finalists, getting to know you all the most, I’m gonna miss the absolute ship out of you.

"I’d cry to hear one more time 'STOP IT' from Donna, one more Rat song from Jack, one more hug from chesatron, one more song from Danny, and one more 'mmmm' from Chris. When it was the six of us it really felt like a home, I’ll never forget the people you are and how much I love you guys."

JoJo rounded off by writing: "Been crying while trying to write this message so I’m gonna end it now, but truly an absolutely amazing time that I have nothing but the most love and gratitude for. Thank you again. Love Joelle."

But she has since returned to Instagram with another message in which she reflected on returning to the States and leaving the UK behind. Alongside pictures of her arriving to the airport, she wrote: "Back home. Tunning off of 20 hours of sleep total post leaving the house.

"Missing the U.K. May have good news of going back soon tho. In the mean time back to work. Not supposed to really say this yet but ready to start my next music video rehearsal literally tomorrow hahaha. Feeling exhausted but so GRATEFUL."

But JoJo also took to her Instagram Story to reference on of her housemates and despite all eyes being on her blossoming relationship with Chris, she tagged Coronation Street star Jack in a picture of a box of teabags alongside a mug of tea and said: "Miss u @jackpshepherd88."
