JoJo Siwa talks new single ‘Bulletproof’

JoJo Siwa joined Andi Peters to talk about the release of her brand-new single, ‘Bulletproof’…

JoJo will also be performing two London shows this week. The conversation on ITV Daytime earlier today also saw JoJo also speak about her time on Dance Moms and her relationship with fellow Celebrity Big Brother housemate Chris Hughes.

While discussing her new single, JoJo said how her dancing background and time on Dance Moms taught her how to ‘sink or swim’ in the industry: “It’s what got me everything that I have today. It kind of just took my life that I already had and I joined a reality show that was already doing that… If I could go back in time, I wouldn’t change a thing about it.”

JoJo continued: “It’s very intense, it’s a lot, but it kind of taught me how to sink or swim and how to just be able to survive.”

JoJo who said doing Celebrity Big Brother ‘truly has been the best thing I’ve ever done in my entire life’ revealed she had only ever watched half a season before entering the house: “I’ve never really seen the whole thing and when I knew I was gonna be a part of [Celebrity] Big Brother and be going into the house, I watched half a season.”

“My friend Frankie Grande was on a season, so I watched half of his season… But then I kind of like the mystery element of like, ‘I don’t really know what I’m getting myself into. It changed my life in ways that I could never even imagine but I’m so grateful for [it].”

Earlier this year, Chris and JoJo talked to ITV’s This Morning / ITV

Discussing her friendship with Chris Hughes, Andi Peters asked: “Your boyfriend?” JoJo laughingly replied: “No… It’s so funny to me how straight up people get nowadays!” Referencing Chris’ time on Love Island, Andi asked if Chris had the ‘exclusive chat’ with her yet: “Has he had that chat with you yet?”

JoJo responded: “Christopher and I have had a lot of chats… We have never gone into the kitchen and said, ‘My head’s not turning in anyway.'” Andi jokingly said: “He’s letting us down there!”

JoJo replied: “Chris is doing the furthest thing besides letting us down, he couldn’t let me down even if he tried, couldn’t let anybody down, he’s the best man.”

Talking about her recent birthday celebrations, JoJo revealed Chris surprised her by flying to Orlando, Florida to be with her: “It was beautiful, I got to be with my family in Orlando. He actually was with me, Christopher was, and he got to spend time with my family which was beautiful. I wasn’t aware that he was coming, it was a surprise.”

Now in the UK to promote her new single and London shows, JoJo spoke about how Chris surprised her at the airport with flowers: “He was like, ‘I want to come pick you up’ and I was like, ‘Alright, I love that.’ He was really worried because I landed early and he was like, ‘I’m not going to be there, take your time because I really want to be there waiting for you,’ it was very sweet.”

JoJo spoke about the flowers Chris gave her at the airport: “They were discount flowers and there’s this adorable clip of him, and it melts my heart and makes me so happy, of him peeling off the sticker right as I’m coming. What’s even better now is I think everybody deserves to know that those flowers exist in a blender bottle, on his table. He’s the best.”

At the end of the interview, JoJo teased a new project which is to be announced ‘in just a couple of days,’ JoJo said: “I have another thing that I haven’t announced yet that I’m doing, that I’m really excited for… I can say that it involves dancing, it involves me and it involves one of my favourite fruits.”
