MAFS star Lucinda Light slammed for supporting JoJo Siwa and Chris Hughes after Dance Moms star brutally dumped her Aussie girlfriend
Married At First Sight star Lucinda Light has been forced to backtrack on her recent Instagram post with controversial Celebrity Big Brother duo JoJo Siwa and Chris Hughes, amid mounting criticism over JoJo's brutal dumping of her Australian partner Kath Ebbs.
Lucinda was all smiles as she posed for a backstage photo alongside the Celebrity Big Brother UK finalists on Monday, amid mounting speculation that the pair could be more than 'platonic soulmates.'
The 43-year-old, who skyrocketed to fame on last year's MAFS season, shared a photo with JoJo and Chris to Instagram after appearing on British chat show This Morning, and praised them for being 'bold and brave'.
On Sunday, JoJo's girlfriend Kath Ebbs confirmed that they and JoJo are no longer together after the Dance Moms star called things off at the CBB afterparty.
'Just met these two radiant humans today at @thismorning for the first time! I didn't watch Big Brother, and... I was not across the breakup and their dynamic,' Lucinda began in her original caption.
'It's bold and brave going on a TV show like this and putting yourself out there. Congrats on making your way through and now to navigate it all on the out. Bless this mess. @itsjojosiwa & @chrishughesofficial!' she continued in her caption.
'Glad I got to say a cheeky hello today. May we all learn our lessons. May we walk humbly. May we forgive ourselves and each other. May we empathise. May we grow,' she finished the caption.
As Lucinda shared the post to her Stories, she shared some additional words: 'Platonic friendship love. You [two] are gorgeous.'
JoJo, 21, returned to her native Los Angeles on Tuesday, after a whirlwind press tour with Chris in the UK and shared Lucinda's post to her 11.2million Instagram followers.
Fans were quick to criticise the MAFS star's judgement on the relationship between Chris and JoJo and questioned whether the post was out of touch with the online support for Kath in Australia.
'Lucindaslight-ly out of touch with how much damage these two have publicly created,' one commented, prompting Lucinda to respond.
The reality star said that she hasn't seen any of the CBB series and wasn't up-to-date with JoJo's relationship status when she met her backstage.
'I'm not over any of it,' Lucinda replied.

'Lucinda you're the best, but these two aren't platonic,' another fan commented with a laugh-crying emoji.
'Oh Lucinda I love you, but I cannot support these pair, they're aren't good energy!' agreed another.
One fan simply wrote, 'Team Kath.'
The comments weren't all negative, though, with Sophie Monk also showing support for JoJo, who rocked an edgy look in a cropped denim jacket layered over a black studded corset.
'Aw I love JoJo with the bow bow,' the Love Island Australia host commented.
The sheer volume of comments prompted Lucinda to update her caption on Wednesday.
'Updated post! Just met these two radiant humans today at This Morning for the first time!' the MAFS star explained.
'I didn't watch Big Brother, and when I posted this I was not across the breakup and their dynamic.'
While Lucinda wiped her hands of the social media faux pas, she said that she stands by her original.
'Lots of you have opinions about what they did or didn't do — and I get it — but I've already shared this post and stand by it. Who am I to judge on the intricacies of it all - it's reality tv after all,' Lucinda wrote in the updated caption.

Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) NICK Knowles and his wife Katie Dadzie tore it up on the dance floor at their wedding reception last night. In clips shared to social media by guests at the lavish wedding, the newlyweds shook their stuff and showed off their impressive moves.

DIY SOS presenter Nick was decked out in his pink jacket while lingerie boss Katie sported her elegant blue floral gown as they swayed and gazed lovingly into each other's eyes. Ever the joker, Nick couldn't resist having a laugh and busted out some twerking at the end, while Katie jokingly shook her head. Katie then did a costume change and slipped into a white mini dress with match trainers and a glittery hat. Nick clearly liked what he saw, removing his jacket and spinning it around over his head. And despite having to pull out of Strictly Come Dancing due to injury last year, Nick proved he's still got the moves as he spun his wife around the floor. Later the pair let their hair down further by downing shots with their pals. There was also lots of entertainment for guests, with a carnival dancer taking to the stage at one point. Later, a band performed songs for the merry crowd. Nick and Katie spared no expense on the big day, which is rumoured to have cost six figures. Nick Knowles marries Katie Dadzie as bride shuns tradition in blue floral gown as pair celebrate wedding day They said 'I do' in the same venue that Rylan Clark married ex-husband Dan Neal in 2015. Katie and Nick got engaged in 2023 after getting together in 2021. They met when Katie's daughters befriended Nick's youngest son Eddie at a play centre. Nick has been married twice before. 9 They downed shots with pals Credit: Instagram / @elocin_home 9 The dancing went late into the night Credit: Instagram / @elocin_home 9 Katie accessorised with a sparkly hat Credit: Instagram / @elocin_home 9 Katie shunned tradition with her floral gown Credit: n.c He and first wife Gillian, who share children Tuesday and Charlie, divorced in 2000. He then got hitched to Eddie's mum Jessica Moor in 2012, but they called it quits in 2016. She said: "I think at the start, it was probably more irritating, especially for my family. But now those comments kind of just pass over me because we both know it's not true. "Nick works hard, he has what he has. I work hard, I have what I have and then we buy each other stuff. "So we're both really comfortable with where we are with that and you will always get it because there's an age gap.' She continued: "I know plenty of people who are together and the same age where someone's using the other one for money and they're not happy. "So as long as I know it's not true and he knows it's not true, I think that's, that's pretty much all that matters."

Meghan Markle shrugs off twerking backlash with carefree beach snap
Meghan Markle has shared a carefree beach snap after she was accused of 'over-sharing' in a 'cringeworthy' video of her twerking to celebrate her daughter's birthday Meghan Markle has brushed off backlash surrounding her "cringeworthy" twerking video with a carefree beach snap. The Duchess of Sussex spoke of 'running into the weekend' as she frolicked in the water in her most recent Instagram post on her As Ever account. The 43-year-old was pictured prancing in the water on a sunny beach, sporting a flowing white sundress as she revealed her excitement 'for all the good to come'. Just hours earlier, she had shared a series of heartwarming photos featuring herself, Prince Harry, and their children - six-year-old Archie and four-year-old Lilibet - during a memorable family trip to Disneyland. Sharing the montage with her 3.7million followers, the mother-of-two described their two-day visit as "pure joy" and expressed gratitude to the park for the special experience. She also highlighted the fun-filled moments the family enjoyed, from thrilling rides to indulging in delicious treats. Offering a glimpse into their life in the U.S., she included a sweet photo of Archie and Lilibet meeting Elsa from Frozen for the first time, along with a touching shot of Prince Harry and Lilibet sharing a ride together. This latest social media update follows an earlier post that raised eyebrows - a lighthearted but awkward video of her and Prince Harry dancing in a hospital room in an effort to induce Lilibet's birth. The candid video, which runs for more than a minute, also features Harry, who is seen dancing in and out of the frame. He is beckoned in by Meghan as the pair dance together, with the duke appearing at the end with the hood of his grey hoodie up as he continues his dance moves. Meghan is wearing a black maternity dress and cradles her large bump as she dances, as well as lifting her skirt above her knees, raising her hands in the air and wiggling low with her hands on her hips and legs. The release of the footage is one of the more unusual ways a member of the royal family has marked a royal birthday. Earlier, the duchess posted never-before-seen intimate family photos of 'Daddy's little girl and favorite adventurer' Lili. Meghan shared a black-and-white snap of herself cuddling the princess, who was sat on her lap, with the pair both sporting windswept hair, seemingly on a boat. Another image showed Meghan tenderly cradling newborn Lili as she enjoyed skin-to-skin time with the new addition to her family in 2021. In a later post, she described how Lili's relationship with Harry was 'the sweetest bond to watch unfold'.

Our community members are treated to special offers, promotions and adverts from us and our partners. You can check out at any time. More info Matt Peacock, the noughties playboy known for dating Katie Price and marrying Jodie Marsh, is barely recognisable these days. The former heartthrob, who was a fixture in the tabloids two decades ago, has traded his glamorous lifestyle for a quieter family life. Now 42, Matt has undergone quite the transformation, swapping his signature bleach blonde locks for a more natural brunette look. He's still modelling, but his life off-camera is centred around his wife Rachael, whom he married in 2016, and their daughter Lily, born in 2018. A glance at Matt's Instagram reveals a mix of fitness shots, shirtless poses, and sweet family photos featuring his daughter and their two dogs. Despite stepping away from the limelight, Matt and Rachael maintain connections with their celebrity friends.

He even posted pictures from Ryan's 40th birthday celebrations last June. Matt's modelling career kicked off when he signed with Boss Model Management, landing several high-profile campaigns, reports the Mirror. He's currently represented by Model Team. Matt and Katie Price began dating shortly after she welcomed her first son Harvey with ex Dwight Yorke in 2002. (Image: Phil Harris) (Image: @mattpeacock27/Instagram) The then 24 year old star was spotted by 18 year old Matt at a car show where she was striking poses as a model. The two soon entered into a whirlwind romance and even did a joint interview for a high-profile magazine. However, their relationship was fleeting, lasting merely two months before coming to an end following a significant dispute. According to friends, Matt found it tough to cope with the limelight during their time together. Matt's subsequent entanglement was his marriage to Katie's rival Jodie Marsh, tying the knot on the reality TV spectacle Totally Jodie Marsh: Who'll Take Jodie Marsh Up The Aisle? in 2007. Their wedding took place amidst the buzz of Brentwood's Sugar Hut nightclub, but the union was short-lived, with Matt confessing later that Jodie seemed more interested in his past liaison with Katie rather than him. Matt later found himself with glamour model Rhian Sugden, their romance spanning a year before they called it quits. Rhian later made headlines again due to a text message scandal involving TV star Vernon Kay in 2010. Come 2020, Matt shared his personal fears about potentially losing his career because of hair loss. Speaking to The Manchester Evening News, he confessed: "Losing my hair had been knocking my confidence for a few years and it was really affecting my day-to-day life. "I felt so much pressure to look good and keep the modelling jobs coming in to pay my bills and keep a roof over my family's head. Social media can be a big problem too, with such an expectation of perfection. We live in such an image-obsessed world. I went for a hair transplant and it has truly changed my life."
