JoJo Siwa's ex Kath Ebbs wants to "heal in peace".
Kath - who is non-binary and uses they/them pronouns - has responded to people "constantly" trolling them over their ex's newly confirmed romance with Chris Hughes, who she met during her time in the 'Celebrity Big Brother UK' house.
In a series of posts on her Instagram Story, she wrote: "Last month was mental health month and this month is pride...
"I wish people would put themselves in someone else's shoes for a moment before indulging in this kind of online toxicity.
"Better yet to a person that literally did nothing wrong. I'm so sick of being gaslight over and over again by said people and the public. It needs to stop.
"You don't need to choose sides, instead you could do me the courtesy of letting me in heal in peace."

Kath, 27, urged their critics to "be obsessed with those that are screaming for attention", while pointing out they have "never asked for any of this".
They wrote: "People constantly troll me and telling me to 'get over it' whilst simultaneously not getting over it themselves.
"Go be obsessed with those that are screaming for the attention, they love it and they are build for it.
"I'm not and never asked for any of this. My only crime was being in a committed loving relationship and then humiliated on a world stage. How does that make me a horrible person?"
Kath said they are trying to "weather the storm", while insisting they don't owe anyone an explanation from their point of view.
They continued: 'I've been working so hard to hold my own everyday through this.
"Using the tools I have to weather the storm, stay sane and sit knowing I don't need to share the truth of it with the world because those that actually matter in REAL life know exactly what happened and that should be all that matters to me."
Kath was in a relationship with JoJo when she entered the house, but their relationship ended at the 'Celebrity Big Brother' wrap party.
Asked if their bond is platonic or romantic, JoJo paused for some time before she told The Guardian newspaper this week: "It's not platonic any more, and it's been a beautiful development, a beautiful connection, and I'm absolutely head over heels for him and he's the same way."

JoJo dismissed speculation her relationship with Chris is a "PR stunt".
She said: "Clearly, you've never been around us. I won't ever speak for him, but for me personally, the happiness in my life just radiates off of me right now. Literally yesterday, I was massaging my cheeks; I've never [before] been in pain from smiling so much."

Doctor describes 'flood of the dead' in Gaza hospital
Rossel Mohrij, a reconstructive surgeon based at a hospital in Oxford, has worked in Gaza twice since Israel's genocidal assault on the Palestinians began nearly two years ago. The 38-year-old said she worked mainly with children during her time at the Nasser Hospital in Khan Younis in December 2024. She said the volume of patients at the hospital, where mass graves were found last April, would 'shut down any major hospital here in a couple of days'. Her co-workers would come to the hospital 'soaking wet because they slept in tents that offered no protection from the elements', Mohrij told a press conference in London on Thursday. They would also survive on just one meal a day and did not know 'whether their family would still be alive at the end of their shift', she added. (Image: AP Photo/Mohammed Dahman) Mohrij said: 'I remember operating with a local surgeon whose phone wouldn't stop ringing. I asked him to pick it up, his wife was calling him to tell him that their son – who had been detained by the IDF for months – had been released; tortured, injured but still alive. 'In the UK, we would take time off for a sprained finger, let alone having your son detained not knowing whether he's alive or dead.' She described how operations were carried out with 'blunt instruments' and without basic hygiene supplies like sterile dressings – and said doctors were reduced to using vinegar to clean infections. One night, said Mohrij, she was approaching the end of her day when a bomb struck a school near the hospital at around 11pm at night after the surgeons had cleared their list of patients for the day. READ MORE: 'Israel herding Palestinians into concentration camps,' says Gaza aid chief She said: 'What came into the emergency department that night is beyond anything I've ever seen, I will carry it with me forever. A flood of the dead, dying, the dismembered, people searching through the chaos, through faces, through limbs, looking for their loved ones. 'Children too stunned to cry, too shattered to speak, staring at their missing body parts.' One child had lost his limbs and 19 members of his family, added Mohrij. She said: 'What do I say to that child when he wakes up? 'You've lost your leg, you've lost everyone you love.'' Mohrij, who works at the John Radcliffe Hospital in Oxford, went on to describe her and colleagues gathered at the foot of a bed where a young boy was lying after being injured in a bombing. (Image: Getty Images) She said: 'He was stuck in the rubble so presented late with severe burn injuries to his legs. They were so severe that the blood supply to his legs were restricted. 'Me, some other visiting surgeons, some local surgeons stood at his feet, debating how to make his death less excruciating. He did not understand our words but I guess he felt our despair. We quietly covered his face with a white cloth to block the world out. He died the next morning.' Another patient had suffered an injury to his foot through bombing and, though his wounds were clean, he had caught an infection, she said. Without any means of investigating and because he was 'severely malnourished' he suffered from multiple organ failure and died within days, Mohrij said. She added: 'He would have lived here or in any moderately equipped hospital.' Mohrij noted that the conditions she described were the situation at the end of last year adding: 'I can't even imagine how bad things are now with no aid and no proper functioning hospitals.'

Full list of Covid symptoms including three unusual ones as new variant reaches UK
Full list of Covid symptoms including three unusual ones as new variant reaches UK The new Covid variant has spread through several countries and now reached the UK The new strain was first detected in January (Image: Getty Images ) Brits are being warned to watch out for three unusual symptoms that could be a sign of a new Covid strain which has been detected in the UK. These symptoms are not typically associated with the virus and could lead to misdiagnosis. More than five years on from the start of the pandemic, Covid-19 continues to spread globally, with the virus mutating multiple times to produce new variants. The latest strain, NB.1.8.1, has already spread across several countries, with seven cases identified in Northern Ireland. First detected in January, this new strain is a sublineage of the Omicron variant, and the Health Protection Surveillance Centre reports that the number of Covid cases linked to it has jumped from 3.7 per cent to 33.3 per cent in just five weeks. The World Health Organisation has classified NB. 1.8.1 as a "variant under monitoring", due to its rapid global spread, with the strain now accounting for over 10 per cent of sequenced Covid infections worldwide, and dominating in China and Hong Kong. The new Covid variant, also detected in the US and Australia as well as holiday hotspots like Egypt, Thailand, and the Maldives, may be more transmissible than its predecessors, according to Dr Lara Herrero, research leader in virology at Griffith University. Three lesser-known symptoms While coughs, sore throats and loss of taste or smell are familiar signs of Covid, the NB. 1.8.1 strain might bring less recognised symptoms too. Stay informed on the latest health news by signing up to our newsletter here . Article continues below "Reports suggest symptoms of NB.1.8.1 should align closely with other Omicron subvariants," Dr Herrero said, noting that some cases could exhibit gastrointestinal issues. As The Independent highlighted, these could include: Diarrhoea Constipation Nausea This could lead to confusion over whether someone is suffering from Covid or another illness. However, Dr Herrero explained that people may experience typical symptoms such as a sore throat, fatigue, fever, mild cough, muscle aches and nasal congestion alongside the more unusual symptoms. Full list of symptoms a high temperature or shivering (chills) – a high temperature means you feel hot to touch on your chest or back (you do not need to measure your temperature) a new, continuous cough – this means coughing a lot for more than an hour, or 3 or more coughing episodes in 24 hours a loss or change to your sense of smell or taste shortness of breath feeling tired or exhausted an aching body a headache a sore throat a blocked or runny nose loss of appetite diarrhoea feeling sick or being sick If you think you have Covid, NHS advice is to minimise contact with others despite no legal self-isolation requirement, especially if you're displaying symptoms. Article continues below You can continue your usual activities when you feel better or do not have a high temperature. However, if you test positive, you should: Try to stay at home and avoid contact with other people for three days after the day the test was taken if you or your child is under 18 years old – children and young people tend to be infectious for less time than adults Try to stay at home and avoid contact with other people for five days after the day you took your test if you are 18 years old or over Avoid meeting people who are more likely to get seriously ill from infections, such as people with a weakened immune system, for 10 days after the day you took your test

JoJo Siwa reveals the moment she and boyfriend Chris Hughes turned into lovers as she shares plan to get matching tattoos
has revealed the moment her bond with boyfriend Chris Hughes grew from friendship to romance. The dancer, 22, and Love Island star, 32, confirmed that they were dating earlier this week following weeks of frenzied speculation. JoJo and Chris first formed a close friendship in the Celebrity Big Brother house in April, but the singer revealed that her feelings for him changed when she returned home to the U.S.. Speaking on Gyles Brandreth's Rosebud podcast, JoJo gushed that she was 'lucky' he felt the same way about her. She also shared her plans to get a matching tattoo with Chris, as well as inks paying tribute to her time in the CBB house. Asked what first attracted her to Chris, JoJo said: 'When he first walked in, he was the only person that I knew what they looked like before coming into the show. I was "Oh that's the Chris guy". 'Initially the first thing that I took in about him was he was a good hugger. I liked his hug. That felt like a nice embrace. And he smelt good – "he seems cool". 'We just kind of bonded right away and it started very much so as friends. 'I wasn't looking to fall for him. He wasn't looking to fall for me. We just were having so much fun together. Whenever one of us was down it was the other one of us that helped. 'Everybody got to see when he was there for me at the beginning. There was a day – it was Easter – and he was having a really, really rough day. 'And he was in the diary room for a really long time and I was freaking out, because I was like "Something's wrong". 'Everyone was like 'calm down', and I was like "No, something's wrong". 'And he came out of the diary room and he was like "I had a stomach ache". And I looked at him and I was like "you're not good". And I just gave him a hug. JoJo continued: 'We had a talk and he really opened up and he wasn't ok, he really wasn't ok. I was able to be there for him. We had more fun than I've ever had in my life in that house.' Reflecting on when she left the CBB house, JoJo added: 'Leaving the house, you're in this bubble of Big Brother, so leaving the house I wasn't sure what was going to happen. 'But I had all these realizations of my life, things that I wasn't happy (about), that I was being ok with that I should never have been ok with. ''I'm not happy, so I need to handle things'', and I did very quickly once I got out of the house. 'Then over a little bit of time I realized that I started to feel something for Christopher that I never intended, but I couldn't not feel. 'And I'm a very, very lucky girl because he was feeling the same thing.' JoJo continued: 'We were watching Who Wants to be a Millionaire? And the answer to the winning question was serendipity and somebody replied "and do you know what serendipity is, it's you and JoJo". 'And we googled it and both of us freaked out because that was the million dollar question. 'The word serendipity is Christopher and I's favorite word now. If you read the definition of it, it's essentially finding love when you're least looking for it. It's beautiful. I don't know how the universe did align for Chris to come into my life.' Sharing her hopes for the relationship to 'last a lifetime,' JoJo gave more details on getting a matching tattoo with him, with a nod to the ring that he gave her in the CBB house, which she wears on a necklace. She told Gyles: 'The Chris tattoo, I said in Big Brother that I would get this bamboo stick. And I said that I would get a little bamboo stick tattoo, and I want to get two other tattoos from the Big Brother house of memories that I have from in there. 'I would get that because as much as that relates to Chris, I can deem it not bad luck by placing more on Big Brother.'
