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.
Dressed in a bright pink jumpsuit that cinched at the waist and featured a plunging neckline, Lucinda beamed as she stood arm-in-arm with JoJo and Chris.
‘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.
