JoJo, 21 - who fled the UK wearing her co-star and "soulmate" Chris Hughes' clothes - had switched up from his grey hoodie.
Yet, after their blossoming connection in the Celebrity Big Brother house, which left viewers confused over their seemingly "flirty" behaviour, she kept Love Island alum Chris' neon wool hat firmly on.
She pulled on a pair of sunglasses and threw a rucksack over her shoulders as she wheeled two suitcases through the terminal.
Her mum Jessalyn, 50, strolled ahead as they prepared to head home.

Yet one person who wasn't on-hand to welcome JoJo was her former partner Kath Ebbs.
Kath, 27, revealed they had been dumped by the Dance Moms alum during the wrap party for the ITV reality series.
It came despite the fact the pair had been "discussing marriage" - with Kath's best pal then sticking in the knife on the real reason for JoJo's decision.
Taking to Instagram on Saturday, Australian content creator Kath, said they were in "complete shock" and felt "numbed out and humiliated" after being dumped by JoJo.

A day later, Kath was pictured for the first time since the split.
They had told how dancer JoJo had "fallen in love" with the Love Island alum during their time in the compound.
Watch as Chris Hughes and JoJo Siwa get VERY close on cosy night out
After posing a video all about their break-up, one fan of Kath's commented on their clip to say: "Imagine watching your partner fall in love with someone else in real time. Cannot even begin to fathom that."
Appearing to confirm that this is exactly how they were feeling, Kath, who identifies as non-binary, liked the comment in question.

It is the most telling sign yet that Kath has been negatively affected by JoJo's bond with Chris.
OPENING UP
Yet now JoJo has clarified the pair's relationship status in an interview on Monday's This Morning.
JoJo Siwa and Kath Ebbs' relationship
We look back at JoJo Siwa's romance with Kath Ebbs:
JoJo Siwa went public with hers and Kath Ebbs' relationship in January 2025.
The Dance Moms star had been introduced to 27-year-old Australian content creator Kath by a mutual friend called G-Flip six months earlier.
JoJo had split with her girlfriend Dakayla Wilson in November 2024 and it is believed she hooked up romantically with Kath soon after.
Speaking in March at the 36th Annual GLAAD Media Awards, JoJo said of her relationship: 'I am so happy. I am in a very mature relationship, and it's beautiful. It's taught me so much about life.
'It's taught me so much about love and respect, and it's a beautiful thing.
'It's different in more ways than I can count. I wouldn't even know what to say the biggest is 'cause just everything is so different and special.'
Kath even claimed they had talked about marriage together.
However, JoJo's romance with Kath abruptly hit the skids on April 25, 2025, at the Celebrity Big Brother wrap party.
JoJo dumped Kath at the bash after spending 19 days in the CBB house - where she had grown close to Love Island star Chris Hughes.
Speaking about where Chris and JoJo go from here, regarding their "close" friendship, Chris said they have a "really strong bond" - calling it a "soulmate friendship".
Chris said: "Our friendship, it's hard to explain... it's just a really strong bond between two people, it's just a strong friendship.

"I think you can have a soulmate friendship, that's the thing.
"To me, it's that energy when it's not the standard friendship you have with your friends, but it's still a friendship, we are friends.
"It's nice, I found it strange because it was such a strong friendship.
"Having someone in there to go through an experience like that and have someone there everyday when you're emotional, when you're happy... that was beautiful, that was genuinely an amazing thing."

Ben then grilled the pair and asked if it was just "platonic" or if it could develop into something "romantic".
JoJo laughed and said: "He's a gorgeous boy, look, he's a great guy, it is platonic, we have a lot of fun together.
Life is life and I don't know any future of anything but I'm really grateful for the dynamic that we have and the bond that we have.
"Whatever life does, life will do."

Chris was later forced to defend what some deemed his "creepy" age gap with JoJo following their cosy display on a post-show night out.
This followed their intimate displays in the spy house, which saw JoJo and Chris secretly hold hands in the bedroom.
Chris then asked JoJo to lick his shorts in a move some found bizarre while he also stripped naked in front of the actress before heading for an off-camera chat.
Chris even offered to have JoJo's babies in another shock remark.

Michelle Keegan makes explosive ITV return after decade with role alongside Hollywood star
Actress Michelle Keegan returns to ITV for the first time in eight years, starring as a detective in The Blame, a dark new psychological thriller Michelle Keegan is stepping back into the spotlight and back onto ITV – for the first time in nearly a decade – as she prepares to star in the gripping new psychological thriller The Blame. The series marks a major career moment for the 38-year-old actress, who recently welcomed her first child, daughter Palma Elizabeth Wright, with husband Mark Wright in March. The six-part drama will see Michelle in a commanding lead role as DI Emma Crane, a detective investigating a mysterious and tragic death that unravels into something far more sinister. According to ITV, the case 'spirals into a tangled web of lies, institutional cover-ups, and moral compromise.' It comes after Michelle's husband Mark, 39, shared a big 'disappointment' after their family holiday with baby daughter Palma. READ MORE: Mark Wright warns Olly Murs 'you've got to stop' after huge transformation Michelle's return to ITV is particularly notable as she first rose to national fame on the network's long-running soap Coronation Street, where she played fan-favourite Tina McIntyre from 2008 until 2014. Her last project for ITV came in 2017, when she portrayed Tina Moore, the wife of football legend Bobby Moore, in the critically acclaimed three-part drama Tina and Bobby. Now, eight years since she last worked with the broadcaster, Michelle is not only coming back with an epic lead role, but she's doing so opposite none other than Douglas Booth. The 33-year-old actor is widely known for his roles in Mary Shelley, The Limehouse Golem, and Netflix's fantasy juggernaut The Sandman. Booth plays DI Tom Radley, working alongside Michelle's character as the two detectives are drawn deeper into a high-stakes investigation that tests both their moral boundaries and professional loyalties. While fans are thrilled by the casting, husband Mark Wright may have mixed feelings about Michelle teaming up with Booth, often dubbed a Hollywood heartthrob. Since stepping away from ITV, Michelle has built an impressive portfolio across different networks and genres. She starred in the hit comedy-drama Brassic on Sky, took on a dramatic lead in Ten Pound Poms for BBC One, and reached a global audience with her most successful project to date, Netflix 's Fool Me Once. The Harlan Coben thriller smashed records with an astounding 107 million views in its first six months on the platform, firmly cementing Michelle's status as a leading lady in British television. The Blame is based on the debut novel of the same name by Charlotte Langley and promises to deliver suspense, drama, and emotional depth. Alongside Michelle and Booth, the cast features heavyweight talent including Harry Potter's Ian Hart and Line of Duty star Nigel Boyle, known for his chilling role as DCS Buckells.

Lou Teasdale says she dumped Andy Carroll despite claims he ended things
Influencer Lou Teasdale has denied reports that former England striker Andy Carroll broke up with her, claiming instead that she was the one to end the relationship. The split comes just over a year after the pair began dating and a few weeks after reports that they were questioned twice by police in Greece following heated rows during a Mykonos getaway. Carroll, 36, has now unfollowed Teasdale, 41, on social media and removed all photos of her from his Instagram. This comes after previous rumours that Carroll was set to propose to Teasdale. According to a source quoted in The Sun, the ex-Liverpool and Newcastle forward had grown frustrated with Teasdale's 'influencer lifestyle' and constant social media posting. 'He told her it was over this week. He's single now,' the insider said. But it seems like things might not be that simple. A conflicting source told the Daily Mail: 'It was Lou who ended her relationship with Andy, she walked away a few days ago, it was very much her choice to end their romance. 'She isn't interested in pointing the finger or blaming him and hoped to deal with their split in private, before he blocked her on Instagram and deleted their photos together. 'Lou is very upset by how everything has played out and the arguments between them were especially difficult for her to go through. 'However, Andy wants Lou back and flew to Ibiza via private jet on Tuesday just to find her, even though he has no idea where she's staying. 'He will think it's a romantic gesture but for Lou, she's unimpressed and just wants to be away with her family, she's not interested in any of his attempts at a reconciliation. 'All she has done all year is love and support Andy, her feelings haven't gone away, but Lou has to protect herself now and ending the relationship is the only way to move forward.' The couple's relationship had appeared solid as recently as late July, when they were seen together at an Oasis concert. But their Greek holiday weeks earlier told a different story. Witnesses say the first argument erupted at the Nikolus Tavern, where Carroll allegedly appeared drunk and was overheard swearing at Teasdale. Police were called, but allowed him to leave after speaking privately. Later that night, officers were reportedly called again to their hotel amid claims of property damage, with staff alleging a door was broken. According to The Daily Mail, Carroll was taken to the police station for questioning, but he was not arrested, and no further action was taken. Teasdale left the hotel and stayed elsewhere for the night. Both Carroll and Teasdale downplayed the incidents at the time, describing the restaurant row as 'a private disagreement' blown out of proportion and insisting no one was arrested or charged. The incident was confirmed by a hotel employee, who claimed Carroll broke the door. A joint statement from the couple given to The Sun said: 'Whilst having a private dinner in a restaurant on a quiet holiday in Mykonos, we had a heated discussion of the sort that most couples have had on occasion. It quickly became apparent to the police that there was no reason for them to be there. 'We went outside the restaurant with them together as they insisted they wanted to 'look after' us. 'As far as we are concerned, the situation has been blown out of all proportion by an interested member of the public. No one was arrested and no one was charged with anything. We are very happy, in love and looking forward to our future together and we are disappointed that a private disagreement has become a public matter.' Carroll's return to the UK last month with National League side Dagenham & Redbridge marks the end of a two-year stint in France. Friends say he now wants to focus on football and his five children, three of whom he shares with ex-wife Billi Mucklow. Carroll confirmed his separation from Towie star Mucklow last September. After nearly 10 years together, Carroll and Mucklow tied the knot in 2022, but the former couple split last year after a turbulent marriage, which had already survived a near-scandal in 2022 when Carroll was photographed asleep next to two women during his stag party. More Trending On the day that the news of Carroll's separation from Teasdale broke, Mucklow took to social media to show she was all smiles in a brown bikini while on holiday with her family. A source told Metro in April that rumours of Carroll's possible engagement to Teasdale were not surprising to Mucklow: 'Billi isn't surprised that Andy is rushing down the aisle again. Her marriage to him didn't last very long and he moved on so quickly with Lou that nothing he does is surprising to her anymore. 'Her main focus will always be the children and moving on with her own life.' View More » Once Britain's most expensive footballer after his £35 million move to Liverpool in 2011, Carroll's personal life has often made more headlines than his career in recent years.

Basketball legend Michael Jordan aiming to win £2.9m top prize in new sport but faces lie detector test if he wins
Scroll down to see how Jordan fared Ocean basket Basketball legend Michael Jordan aiming to win £2.9m top prize in new sport but faces lie detector test if he wins MICHAEL JORDAN has been eyeing a stunning £2.9million prize for winning a fishing competition. Dubbed the "Super Bowl of fishing", the White Marlin Open is a competition that has been running for more than half a century. Advertisement 4 Michael Jordan has been involved in the worlds richest fishing competition Credit: Instagram @bigrocktournament 4 MJ went out on his 82-foot Bayliss Catch 23 for the White Marlin Open Credit: Splash 4 Jordan is often seen in Harbour Island puffing on cigars Credit: Getty 4 He has also competed in other fishing contests Credit: Instagram @bigrocktournament It has earned its name thanks to the high stakes involved, which can rival the US Masters with well over $100m (£74m) paid out to winners of the competition since it was founded by Jim Motsko in 1974. This year, the top prize will land a cool $3.9m, with basketball icon Jordan among those hoping to catch a place in history, according to The Times. However, sailing in his £11m 82-foot Bayliss named Catch 23 off the coast of Maryland last week, he was not the only billionaire competing among the 200 plus boats in the water. The world's richest fishing contest is not without its dangers, with spray from the waves of the sea hitting his boat's 40-foot tower as he and nine anglers tried to wrestle a white marlin to shore - and a 71lbs fish proving to be a particular challenge. Advertisement READ MORE IN SPORT WHAT THE TRUCK! Erling Haaland shows off new superfast truck which has six-figure price tag The minimum participation fee is around £1,250 ($1,700) - though that means the top prize you can take home is £37,000 ($50,000) - but some pay more than £74,000 ($100,000) to buy in. And it is also laid out by strict rules, with fishermen needing to get their catch alone. Indeed, other than to prevent an angler from falling into the big blue, any touching of them during the fierce battle with the fish would result in the catch no longer being eligible for weighing at the scales. Boats are also under curfew, only being able to fish in three out of the five days - seven in 2025 due to adverse weather - and can only start to fish after 8am. Advertisement BEST ONLINE CASINOS - TOP SITES IN THE UK Furthermore, any fish brought to the scales on Harbour Island must be hooked before 3.30pm, with the scales closing at 9.15pm. And finally, the crews of the winning boats must also face a polygraph - lie detector test - to try and ensure fair competition. Inside Michael Jordan's $70 Million Private Jet: The Ultimate Flying Sneakerhead Experience The tests are run by former professionals, including some ex-police officers, and is a rule everyone signs up for before heading out to ocean. Advertisement However, the rule came under a fierce legal challenge in 2016 when Phil Heasley was disqualified for a failed test after reeling in a 76.5lb white marlin that was set to earn him £2m ($2.8m). The challenge went to the US District Court, with Judge Richard Bennett ruling in favour of the White Marlin Open after upholding the tournament's right to use a polygraph. Madelyne Motsko, daughter of the competitions founder, said of the test: "We introduced it well over 20 years ago. "It just got to the point where, with the number of boats, it became a hard thing to police. So we thought it was a way to ensure a baseline level of integrity, and we use it for our big-money winners." Advertisement On Heasley's case, she added: "That ended up being a whole two-year process. "But these are the rules that you need to follow and they are important because everyone who comes here needs to know that everything's above board; we pay out what we're supposed to pay out and there are no integrity issues. "They know if they're putting their money up, that it's going to go to the rightful winner. In the history of fishing tournaments, that's not always been the case. "So we fought very hard in court, spending a ton of money, to protect that reputation." Advertisement The biggest blue marlin at the contest, caught by the crew of the Barbara B, tipped the scales at a whopping 929.5lb and fetched just shy of £914,000 ($1.24m). Jordan himself - seemingly more in the contest for the thrill than the cash - saw his Catch 23 net $389,000 in what was the second-biggest white marlin - said to have a steak-like texture with a stronger taste - by a difference of a single pound. He had landed in his private jet on Tuesday and joined the rest of the Catch 23 crew at the dock alongside the Sunset Grille, where he is often seen smoking a cigar. He has been a frequent visitor of Ocean City in recent years, though Saturday was his first time he had made it to the scales, with Harbour Island said to have gone wild as he waved to the crowd as his boat came in to dock. Advertisement Tuna is also on the menu for anglers, with the winning 188lb tuna being worth $764,000 to Sea Hab and second-place 186lb tuna only being caught after a 5 and a half hour struggle. Many of the fish caught in the competition are released back to sea, due to having to be of a certain size to even qualify for the scales. Prize-winning fish are typically cut up and shared across local shelters, providing meals for the less fortunate.
