JoJo Siwa says 'she's realised she's not a lesbian' following Celebrity Big Brother experience

She confided in RuPaul's Drag Race UK winner Danny Beard in the latest episode

Celebrity Big Brother's JoJo Siwa told housemate Danny Beard about the latest epiphany regarding her sexuality during last night's episode.

Following the triple eviction of EastEnders actress Patsy Palmer, TV presenter Angellica Bell and The Only Way is Essex's Ella Rae Wise, the 21-year-old American was seen confiding in the RuPaul's Drag Race UK winner.

Having stated previously that she was a lesbian, it seems Siwa no longer uses that label.

"I feel so queer," she informed Beard. "I've never - I think I've always told myself I'm a lesbian. I think you - I think being here - I've realised I am not a lesbian, I’m queer.

"And I think that's really cool, I'm switching letters! I've dropped the L and I've gone to the Q baby! That's what I love about sexuality."

Hugging it out with their co-star, the non-binary drag queen then joked: "And you know what British people love more than anything? To queue!"

'Queer' is a term used to describe an individual outside of the heteronormative category.

Earlier this year, the Dance Moms star told Paul C. Brunson on his podcast We Need to Talk: "I have the most amazing, beautiful partner, they are an incredible human being who I don't know how I snagged them at all. With Kath, I just trust them beyond trust."

Siwa later revealed that her dream is to 'have babies', adding: "I just want to be a mum... I've had a very maternal instinct for a very long time since I was 12."

Siwa also chose to openly discuss her sexuality journey with Brunson, who himself has revealed the three green-flag traits people should look for in a partner.

"I remember having a best friend, and I was 16, and we met on a cruise ship.

"I asked her, 'So when did you know you were gay?'

"And she was 15 at the time. And she said, 'Oh, I'm not. I have a boyfriend.'

"And I was like, 'Dude, no way'," Siwa recalled on the podcast.

"And she showed me a picture of her boyfriend, and she was the first girl that I ever met and I was like, 'lesbian.' Never met any girl like that, but I knew she was.

"Anyways, we became best friends."

Meanwhile, CBB housemate Mickey Rourke was at the centre of some controversy after seemingly trolling Siwa over her sexuality, leading to her mum's disappointed response.

Rourke was soon afterwards ejected from the house for his behaviour towards his other housemates.
