Kath Ebbs reveals 'scary' mental health battle following split from JoJo Siwa - as the American singer moves on with new beau Chris Hughes
Kath Ebbs has opened up their mental health struggles following a painful split from US singer JoJo Siwa, who has since moved on with Chris Hughes. The 27-year-old Australian influencer, who uses they/them pronouns, shared an Instagram Stories post on Monday and admitted to feeling 'under the weather' both physically and mentally. Kath, who officially parted company with JoJo in April, also confessed to experiencing 'panic attacks' and being in a 'constant state of overwhelm'. 'Woke up feeling super under the weather both physically and mentally,' they wrote alongside an image in which they were cuddled up with their cat. Kath continued, 'I think I have a habit of acting like I'm fine and everything's a bit funny then it will all just randomly hit me at once.' From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. Kath, who confirmed their split with JoJo last month after the Dance Moms star called things off, detailed their health challenges in the lengthy post. 'Been struggling with night time panic attacks lately (the girls that get it, get it),' they said. 'I hate the feeling of my body acting against me (when it's in fact trying to protect me.) I've just been in a perpetual state of overwhelm for a while, I don't think I know what's what anymore. 'Someone asked me recently why I seem so chill about stuff and I replied that I just pretend it's not me going through it, it's someone I know but it's not my life and that I've been doing that since I was a kid when life got ugly.' Kath ended the post with a tribute to their supporters and others who might experiencing similar challenges. 'Anyways a little honesty diary. Big love to my other disassociate peeps, it's not a nice way to exist but remember it's just your brain trying to protect you from experiencing the pain. Like a little friend' Kath wrote. 'Slow down, connect with people that really love you, drink some water and get outside even if it's just for 10minutes. Also put the phone down (talking to myself!!) Kath signed off, 'Love you guys, Kath x.' In the wake of JoJo and Chris Hughes going official last month, Kath, who is non-binary, took to Instagram to take a subtle dig at their former partner It comes after Kath appeared to be living their best life following a high profile split from JoJo. The American dancer, 22, raised eyebrows during her stint on UK Celebrity Big Brother after forming a close bond with Love Island star Chris Hughes, 32, whilst still being in a relationship with Kath. While they repeatedly insisted their relationship was platonic, before and after JoJo broke up with Kath at the Big Brother wrap party, the duo have since 'confirmed' their relationship late last month. In the wake of the news, Kath, who is non-binary, took to Instagram to take a subtle dig at their former partner, sharing videos and photos of their 'joyful' post-breakup life in Sydney. The video shared showed Kath happily cuddling two women in a kitchen, who were revealed to be Kath's ex-partner and the ex partner's wife. Kath looked chuffed to be in such supportive company with the video showing the trio huddling close as George Michael's Father Figure played over the scene. 'Sapphic love is your ex and their new wife nursing you through a breakup,' Kath said in a pointed reference to JoJo coming out as 'not a lesbian'. Kath's posts come after they recently responded to speculation that the singer and Chris had confirmed their romance with a subtle dig on social media. Kath and JoJo ended their six month relationship almost immediately after the Dance Moms star left CBB, despite Chris insisting that their relationship in the house was 'platonic'. Speculation has been rife ever since, with fans insisting that JoJo and Chris had already begun a romance. In late May, the pair seemingly confirmed they are an item, with a slew of images taken after Chris flew to the US for JoJo's 22nd birthday.

‘Insane': Indy Clinton unveils ‘secret' 5-month transformation
A popular Australian influencer has opened up about her recent 'transformation' after revealing she 'secretly struggled' for years with an issue that affects around 1 in 2 mothers. Indy Clinton has amassed a loyal following of over 2 million people with her 'relatable' videos, which mostly show the chaos of raising young children and the everyday challenges of motherhood. However earlier this year, the mum-of-three documented her decision to have a rhinoplasty procedure, after a duck diving accident left a ridge on her nose that made her feel 'self-conscious'. While the 27-year-old has been honest about having cosmetic surgery, she said her recent 'glow-up' actually comes from the confidence she's found after fixing her lengthy battle with post-partum hair loss. 'I've always struggled with thin hair my whole life, I was never one of those girls that had thick long luscious hair from the roots, it was always a big insecurity of mine growing up during my teenage years,' she told 'I was always under the impression that if I grew my hair longer it would appear thicker, but I was so wrong about that. I have photos of myself and it looks like I have a ratstail attached to my head, it was just this big stringy piece down my back.' However, after having her children Navy, Bambi and Soul, Clinton's hair got worse, which she described as 'quite a hit' on her confidence. 'After having kids, it gets worse, and I experienced post-partum hair loss after each baby,' she said. 'There's nothing you can do about it, you're too busy navigating motherhood, so when you notice your hair is shedding and there's little bald patches, you just have to get on with it. 'But it's such a knock to your confidence and I was really self-conscious about it.' It was only last year that Clinton became fed-up and decided to look for a solution. 'I didn't have much hair, it always looked dead, so I decided to stop bleaching my hair blonde,' she explained. 'So I decided to go brunette to help preserve what was left. It was a huge decision.' Ditching her signature blonde colour helped, but Clinton was still unsatisfied with the health of her hair. Then, by pure chance, she was approached by a new Aussie beauty brand called BOUF to try its new hair growth range months before it hit shelves. Created by Gen Z entrepreneur Rach Wilde, the mastermind behind cult skincare brand TBH, the products contain a new technology that claim to tackle FGF5, a protein that tells your hair when it's time to stop growing and fall out. The 'proprietary blend of botanicals' that helps manage FGF5 took a team of hair microbiologists in Japan 7 years to perfect and was formulated into the new BOUF range by Wilde after it came across her desk in 2024. She later sent it onto Clinton. 'I've previously worked with Indy on multiple brand partnership deals for tbh skincare and they have been some of our most successful campaigns to date, because Indy has such a loyal community of followers who really trust her product recommendations,' she told 'But before we signed any deal, we gave Indy the full Bouf product range to trial for herself to see the results on her own hair. 'Her before and afters are insane – the results speak for themselves and show how in just a few months Bouf can completely transform your hair.' Post partum hair loss affects between 40 and 50 per cent of women who have given birth in Australia. The effects can last anywhere between 6 months to 1 year but in some women it can last longer – particularly if they have had more than one child. Clinton, who has been true to herself and shared the five-month testing process with fans, said she has been floored by the confidence her new hair has brought her. 'It was hard because for months I couldn't say what product I was using, not until I was confident it was working,' she said. 'But I was getting so many messages from followers asking why my hair was so healthy, I felt like I was keeping a secret from them when usually I share everything. 'The nicest part of my transformation is how I feel. Even my nose job didn't give me the same confidence boost that this has. After struggling for so many years, I just feel like myself.' Fans have been quick to share their thoughts at Clinton's results, with many declaring the young mum was 'stunning' before and after her transformation. 'Wow,' said one, as another wrote: 'I need this.' 'Hair looks sooooo good,' added someone else. There were some sceptics, including some who asked to see the ingredients list, which won't be released until the products – priced between $29.95 and $39.95 – launch in Priceline on May 27. 'I think once you stopped bleaching it got healthy,' one fan scoffed. 'I'm dubious but happy to try it for myself,' another shared.
