JoJo Siwa's partner Kath Ebbs has been cruelly taunted online after trolls accused the dancer of cheating with Chris Hughes on Celebrity Big Brother.
The Dance Moms star, 21, who came out as pansexual in 2021 and has described herself as gay in recent interviews, has been dating Kath, who is non binary, since November.
But JoJo has raised eyebrows in recent days after growing close to her CBB housemate and Love Island star Chris, 32.
The pair have been seen cuddling in bed at night with Chris stroking JoJo's back - and fans watching on live stream spotted her sleeping on the floor next to his bed.
And now trolls have taken to the comment section of JoJo's partner Kath's latest Instagram post, cruelly branding Chris and JoJo 'the UK's favourite couple'.
But others have leapt to the defence of JoJo, saying that the connection with Chris is purely platonic and slamming viewers for questioning the dancer's sexuality.

Taunting Kath, trolls wrote: 'Chris and Jojo are the UKs favourite couple now❤️,'; 'Girl you gotta ditch yo cheating ass gf,';
'Jojo is publicly cheating on you on live television,'; 'Jojo cheated with Chris Hughes. Imagine all the other things behind closed doors,';
'Yeah cos me and my platonic male friends lie in bed and tickle my back and say they missed having me in bed in the morning. Sooo friendly.'
Leaping to the young star's defence and comforting Kath, fans said: 'No way you guy are coming in kath’s comments to taunt her about jojo (lesbian btw) getting close to a straight man. they’re freaking friends?? platonic relationships exist and it’s very odd to try and get kath riled up,';
'I'm so sorry people are so cruel in your comments. You know who Jojo is in your heart! People love to make dramatic situations out of nothing. Sending you love and light!! Block the haters out,';
'Pls bc it's really not fair to be in Kaths comments like that when you don’t know their views on intimacy in friendship. They’ve said they are okay with it check out their podcasts,';
'Hey, please don’t say things like that when it seems chris was the one being all flirty w her. dont make accusations when it could just be platonic.'
JoJo's time in the house got off to a traumatic start when she was the subject of a horrific homophobic tirade from since-removed housemate Mickey Rourke.

The Hollywood actor, 72, was booted from the show on Saturday after exploding into a foul-mouthed rant amid an aggressive altercation with Chris.
But before this he had already reduced TOWIE's Ella Rae Wise, 24, to tears with a disgusting sexual comment and made a series of homophobic jibes to JoJo - which resulted in nothing more than a warning.
Last week after just one day in the house Mickey had insinuated he would be able to 'make JoJo straight' during their time in the house and used a homophobic slur to describe her.
Then last night Ella broke down in tears after Mickey joked about 'coming in her' after she gave him some instructions from Big Brother.
Fans have been in uproar over the decision-making, writing on Reddit: 'So he wasn't even kicked out over the s**t he did to JoJo. Wow.',
'So it wasn't even over the JoJo s**t? But of course they'll take the threats seriously when it's towards a man.
'lmfao at the number of men replying to me 'but but but that's how warnings work! Why should he be taken seriously he's so old and his brains are scrambled!!!!'
'Y'all always wanna jump on the 'not all men' train but y'all never wanna f***ing say s**t when it comes to men acting like this.',
But others have leapt to the defence of JoJo, saying that the connection with Chris is purely platonic and slamming viewers for questioning the dancer's sexuality
'It's a f***ing disgrace that this wasn't done for his threat towards JoJo Siwa.',
'Yeah that's genuinely so pathetic and disgusting on production's part. He shouldn't have ever gotten a warning in the first place, he should've been kicked out immediately.',
'So him threatening JoJo to 'turn her straight' only warranted a warning, but when his behaviour is directed toward a man it's too far?',
'The very first thing he did on the show was sexually harrass the (woman) host- and that was before he even entered the BB house. He should've been removed days ago.',
'He should have been ejected the first time. Better late than never, but come on.'
ITV declined to comment when contacted by MailOnline for comment.
