A certain Celebrity Big Brother housemate has revealed their real name and it has left fans shocked.
JoJo Siwa opened up about her real name while chatting with Ella Rae Wise and revealed that she separates her life between “two people.”
As the 21-year-old got candid with the TOWIE star, the show’s viewers were provided with a surprising insight as they learned that she wasn’t actually born JoJo.
The Karma singer’s full name is Joella Joanie Siwa, and she said to Ella: “It’s so hard because I feel like I’m so proud, I love having a partner but I wish nobody knew”
She continued: “You know what I mean, I wish I was better at keeping it private. Because I separate my life into two people right, JoJo and Joelle. And typically when I date somebody they start to really get to know Joelle, right?”
“But they’re both always present at all times. Like right now I’m Joelle but JoJo’s still here, you know what I mean. And Joelle runs JoJo. That b***h has that b***h under control”
Fans wasted no time in taking to social media to express their confusion and shock over this revelation.
One fan wrote on X: “Wait… JoJo’s real name is Joelle and Patsy is actually Julie?? Mind = blown. Why does #CBBUK always hit us with these identity plot twists?! #BBUK #BigBrother.”
Another added: “lol I knew people would be surprised at Jojo’s real name.”
“Why did it never dawn on me that her real name isn’t Jojo,” penned a third.
This comes only a day after Ella’s mother, Sonia Wise, revealed the sad reason why her daughter is “holding back” on ITV’s Celebrity Big Brother.
The 24-year-old didn’t have the smoothest start in the Big Brother house, as she experienced Mickey Rourke, who has since been evicted, make inappropriate comments towards her.
In addition to this, tension appears to be rising between the TOWIE star and her housemate Chris Hughes.
“I think that’s why she holds back when she first meets people, as she doesn’t want to get hurt. As a child Ella was kind, caring and very giving. She’d always share her toys or treats. Due to her dyslexia Ella didn’t love the academic subjects at school but was really good at things like ballet and singing. She was also sporty…”
She added: “I wanted to give Ella every opportunity that a child should have.”
From watching her daughter on Celebrity Big Brother, she shared how proud she is of the reality TV star: “I’m proud of who she is and how far she has come in life. As a mum I couldn’t be prouder!”
Mickey left Ella in tears with an inappropriate comment and he went on to be voted out of the house due to his “offensive and inappropriate” language.
Amid a shopping challenge, Ella told the group: “I have instructions for us all. We’re not allowed in the bedroom, no one is allowed to touch the crisps or sweets.”
“I don’t like them,” said Mickey, and Ella continued: “You’ve got to come with me.”
The Wrestler actor responded: “Come in you” – which caused Danny Beard to quickly interject, saying: “Mickey, you can’t make them jokes.”
Mickey then went on to engage in a heated conversation with Chris, where he accused the Love Island star of “eyeballing” him before calling him a “c***.”
Following this outburst, Chris told his fellow housemates: “Mickey’s just Mickey, you know what I mean.”
Ella emotionally broke down, and declared: “It’s fine, you can be just someone, but be mindful of what it can trigger in other people, because it’s made me feel very uneasy.”
Wait… JoJo’s real name is Joelle and Patsy is actually Julie?? Mind = blown 🤯
