JoJo Siwa 'dropped by record label' as Chris Hughes romance steps up
Celebrity Big Brother star JoJo Siwa has reportedly been dropped by her record label Columbia Records and is now said to be looking for a new place to call home
JoJo Siwa has parted ways with her record company Columbia Records according to recent reports. The Dance Moms star, currently linked romantically to her Celebrity Big Brother housemate Chris Hughes, is understood to be seeking a new label.
Speculation grew as she independently released her latest single Bulletproof. Previously, she was part of a star-studded roster of talent at the label which includes the likes of Miley Cyrus and Halle.
However, a recent check reveals that JoJo's name no longer appears on the official website artist list. This comes after her release of the single Karma and an EP titled Guilty Pleasure with the label last year, reports the Mirror.
"JoJo has been dropped by Columbia Records... she self-released her latest song Bulletproof whereas Karma was done with the label. She has been in London on the lookout for a new record company to sign with and playing gigs hoping to impress the right people," a spokesperson shared with the Mail.
Regardless of the setback, JoJo's touring schedule remains uninterrupted with US dates continuing later this month, where her new reported boyfriend Chris Hughes expected to be cheering her on from the audience. The pair have been spending a lot of time together, sending fans into a frenzy at their outings, as they appear to be getting closer than ever.
JoJo, who recently turned 22, opened up about the close relationship she shares with 32-year-old Chris since they left the reality TV show. During a chat with Capital Breakfast's Jordan North earlier in the week, she expressed her deep affection for Chris.
She shared with the host: "You know what's interesting? As hectic as life is, and as much as that noise goes on, I feel like Christopher and I discovered this beautiful house together.
"And this house is earthquake proof, and it's fireproof, and bulletproof. And you know, we discovered this house and found the keys, and we took the keys and locked ourselves in, and now it's like... You know what I mean? I feel like that with myself, I feel like that with him."
When Jordan enquired if Chris was her "happy place," she enthusiastically confirmed. She continued gushing over the former Love Island star: "Oh my god, absolutely! We're having the best time. He's just the best!
"I was saying this to my parents the other day. Like, I'm decently nice; he makes me look like I'm mean! And I'm like known for being nice, that's the thing. People say to me, 'Oh, you're so nice'.
"He makes me we want to be nicer, because he's such a nice human. He's the best egg in the batch! I could never get tired of speaking highly of him, he's just the best."

ITV This Morning tribute to guest feared dead after Air India plane tragedy
Fiongal Greenlaw, 39, and his husband Jamie Meek, 45, are feared to be among the passengers and crew on the Air India flight that crashed Former This Morning editor Martin Frizell has paid tribute to guest Fiongal Greenlaw and his husband Jamie Meek, believed to have perished in the Air India crash. The tragic incident occurred yesterday (June 12), and the couple were among those en-route to London's Gatwick Airport from India. The couple had been on holiday when the disaster struck their flight shortly after take-off. They were known not only for their travels but also as co-founders of a wellness brand that had been featured on This Morning, reports the Mirror. Martin, 66, took to Instagram to share his sentiments, posting an image of Fiongal alongside hosts Ben Shephard and Cat Deeley from when they appeared on the show. He reminisced about Fiongal's appearance in January, noting his "vibrancy" and "sheer enthusiasm". His caption read: "So so sad to hear that Fiongal Greenlaw Meek and his partner are reported to be among the passengers and crew killed today on board the Air India flight bound for Gatwick. I remember his visit to the studio in January, he was passionate about auras and although I'm a sceptical sort his vibrancy and sheer enthusiasm won folk over." Adding further to his emotional message, Martin said: "And I know for a fact that he hoped to use his appearance on This Morning to build his Wellness brand, he had a great future ahead of him. Thoughts are with his family and friends and those of his partner Jamie." Amongst those reacting to Martin's poignant post was Good Morning Britain presenter Susanna Reid. TV regular Lisa Snowdon, also familiar with the programme, expressed her sorrow in the comments with a tearful emoji followed by one of a broken heart. Fiongal graced This Morning as a guest back in January, giving hosts Ben and Cat insight into their auras during that episode. At that time, Martin was still at the helm as editor, before leaving in February. Post-Martin's exit, Fiongal made another appearance on the show, this time serving as spiritual advisor in April, joining Ben, Cat, and Josie Gibson in the London-based television studio. The couple had uploaded a video from Ahmedabad airport just before they boarded the ill-fated flight. During their trip to India, Fiongal and Jamie shared a cheerful video from the airport, beaming as they prepared to jet back home. Their lighthearted exchange during the video saw them reflecting on their adventures abroad. In the footage, Fiongal can be heard stating: "We are at the airport just boarding. Goodbye India. Ten-hour flight back to England. What was your biggest takeaway Jamie?" to which Jamie quips: "I don't know." This sparks laughter from Fiongal, who jibes at his partner: "Thanks for your contribution." Fiongal playfully remarks that he's learned "don't lose your patience with your partner", before Jamie retorts: "You snapped at me at the airport for having chai." Amidst their fellow passengers, the video concludes with Fiongal declaring his return to the UK is "happily, happily calm".

Strictly's Dianne Buswell sends wedding message to Joe Sugg with four-word comment
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 Strictly Come Dancing star Dianne Buswell had a four-word wedding message for partner Joe Suggs. Professional dancer Dianne, 36, met 33-year-old Joe when the two were paired together on the hit BBC show in 2018. The pair made it to the final as Stacey Dooley and Kevin Clifton lifted the famous Glitterball Trophy. Dianne and Joe's relationship blossomed and the pair confirmed they were dating later in the year. They moved in together the following year, buying their first home in February 2021. However fans have been left waiting for YouTuber Joe to pop the question. And on her Winning Isn't Everything podcast with fellow Strictly winner Chris McCausland, Dianne had a message for her long-term boyfriend. In a discussion about fingers, Dianne pointed to her ring finger and asked: 'What's that one, your best friend finger?' Only for Chris to respond: 'It's the one Joe's done nothing with.' (Image: undefined via Getty Images) Dianne said: 'Exactly, we need to remind Joe what that finger holds. That finger is feeling very lonely, it needs something to weigh it down with.' When they bought their luxurious £3.5million London home in 2021, Dianne hinted that a wedding wasn't on the cards yet. She admitted that her career came first and that the couple were 'playing their marriage by ear'. Speaking to the Mirror , she said: 'Joe and I don't really talk about that kind of thing. We're both so relaxed so we just play it by ear. We really enjoy each other's company so much and whatever happens, happens." Dianne has also revealed the couple's plans to start a family one day. In a 2022 interview the Australian-born dancer said that she and Joe are hoping to start a family 'when it feels right' – admitting that much like their marriage plans, they are in no rush to take the next steps in their love story. (Image: DianneBuswell Instagram) Joe, the younger brother of fellow YouTuber Zoe Sugg, was 27 when he met Dianne. He has previously confessed she was his first 'proper girlfriend'. Speaking to The Sunday Times back in 2021, Joe confessed: "Dianne is my first girlfriend. Other than, like, my penpal from when I was 10." He admits he was initially apprehensive about sharing loved-up snaps with his partner. He said: 'My audience was very protective over me. But they instantly accepted Dianne, because we were partnered on Strictly, so after the show finished and we got together, they already felt like they knew her well." Fans on social media often pine for a wedding announcement when Joe and Dianne share photos together. One wrote: 'Can you get married.' On an Instagram post, fellow Strictly professional Johannes Radebe wrote: "If you don't marry him Di, I will..."

After finally confirming her new romance, JoJo was forced to respond to Miley Cyrus ' joking about her sexuality. JoJo clarified she is queer after identifying as a lesbian before her bond with Chris.

JoJo cut a casual figure in a blue Versace T-shirt, tie-die cargo trousers and trainers, while accessorising with a silver chain and sunglasses. Meanwhile, Chris was unrecognisable in a short brown wig and bold shirt, as he filmed a new campaign for Coral-Eclipse day at Sandown Racecourse. He later changed into a tweed beige suit, and the pair kicked a rugby ball about with others on the shoot. It comes after JoJo responded to Miley' post about her romance with Chris, admitting the comment was not 'what the world, or myself needs to hear any day of the week'. Miley ignited outrage earlier this week after she joked about JoJo's sexuality in a video message at World Pride amid the dancer's newfound relationship with Chris. Speaking from inside a closet, Miley said: 'Oh, my God, I haven't been in here since sixth grade! Enjoy coming out of the closet if this Pride is the time for you [...] It shouldn't be a month – it should be a year; it should be infinite.' Wrapping up the video, Miley added with a laugh: 'I'm going back inside to get more pretzels and find JoJo Siwa and bring her back out.'

She penned: 'I was happy at my 5th birthday having a Miley themed party, and I'm still happy now at 22… If you know me, you know that Miley is my day 1, grew up beyond inspired by her from 2 years old on…' She said she had taken some time to process Miley's words, telling fans: 'I wasn't sure how I felt about things for a couple of days… but I've started to come to some thoughts…. I don't believe what Miley said at world pride was ill intended, honestly I think it was meant to be a joke, but just not very good one haha.' 'Not what the world, or myself needs to hear any day of the week. I messaged miley light heartedly about it and she replied and said 'All love. Always . ❤️❤️❤️.' 'Honestly the most beautiful thing I've learned in the last 5 years is that love is a gorgeous rainbow. Don't question yourself, don't second guess yourself, just love.' 'Love love love love love.❤️ People judge no matter what, and it can be very hard, especially when it comes from someone you love, and look up to…' 'But if you feel happy and content with yourself, that's most important.

She was happy to get involved in a quick game of rugby The outing comes after the US star enjoyed a stay at Chris' family home in the Cotswolds during her trip, which also saw the singer dedicate songs to her beau from the stage during her London tour dates JoJo recently confessed during an episode of Celebrity Big Brother – where she met Chris – that she previously identified as a lesbian, but now identifies as a queer woman. While Miley's gag was met with cheers and applause at the Washington D.C. festival, it failed to land online, with many social media users blasting Miley over the 'unnecessary' dig. Taking to X, one asked: 'Can ya'll just let bi people exist?' 'I adore Miley, but this isn't OK,' another said. 'JoJo never went back into the closet, SHE'S STILL QUEER! 'Again, JoJo being with Chris doesn't erase or change her attraction to women. Pride month should be about celebrating all members of the LGBT+ community, not about making jibes like this.' Echoing a similar sentiment, a third added: 'Publicly shaming a young woman exploring her sexuality is abhorrent not just Miley, but all of yall posting 'jokes.'' 'It should be studied how she gets away with being awful and not a girls girl,' wrote someone else. A fifth user posted: 'Mature enough to admit this was unnecessary.' 'This isn't even remotely funny,' said another. JoJo and Chris, who both appeared on Celebrity Big Brother UK in April , finally confirmed that they were dating last week following weeks of frenzied speculation. She told fans: 'I was happy at my 5th birthday having a Miley themed party, and I'm still happy now at 22… If you know me, you know that miley is my day 1' While starring on the reality show, JoJo opened up about her sexuality and her journey. She said at the time: 'I've always told myself I'm a lesbian, but I think being here, I've realized, 'Oh no, I'm not a lesbian, I'm queer.' I think that's really cool. I'm switching letters.' Later, while speaking to Us Weekly, the former Dance Moms personality said she thought the statement wouldn't make it to television. 'That was one of those conversations actually that I was having that I was like, 'This will never see the light of day,'' she said. 'I don't mind that it did, because I actually think it starts a very beautiful conversation of queer. I think queer joy is so special and so magical.' JoJo went on to reject putting her sexuality 'in a box.' 'Queer is a beautiful umbrella term for the LGBTQIA community,' she said. JoJo shared a new post on Thursday morning after she bid goodbye to Chris and the UK after a blissful couple of weeks with her boyfriend. The US star enjoyed a stay at Chris' family home in the Cotswolds during her trip, which also saw the singer dedicate songs to her beau from the stage during her London tour dates. But on Thursday it was time for an emotional farewell, with JoJo telling her Instagram followers that there were 'tears' at the airport. A source told MailOnline that the visit went well, with Chris's new girlfriend reportedly a hit with his parents. The source said: 'JoJo and Chris are absolutely loved-up. 'Meeting the parents is a big step, but she charmed everyone. Looks like JoJo has traded in her bows for a bit of British countryside bliss!' The dancer and her Love Islander boyfriend found a spark during their time together in the Celebrity Big Brother house in May. Weeks of frenzied speculation followed after the pair left the show, with JoJo splitting up with ex-partner Kath Ebbs, 27, just days later. Chris took a trip across the pond to visit his new flame before JoJo later flew to the UK, with the couple at last confirming their romance in early June as the American admitted she's 'head over heels'. During an appearance on Capital Breakfast this week with host Jordan North , the 22-year-old said: 'You know what's interesting? As hectic as life is, and as much as that noise goes on, I feel like Christopher and I discovered this beautiful house together. 'And this house is earthquake proof, and it's fireproof, and bulletproof. And you know, we discovered this house and found the keys, and we took the keys and locked ourselves in, and now it's like... You know what I mean? I feel like that with myself, I feel like that with him.'
