Celebrity Big Brother viewers were stunned as JoJo Siwa revealed her stalker hell.
Tonight’s episode saw comedian Donna Preston take on the role of a delivery driver who had to assign packages to specific housemates, which ultimately led to the celebs receiving letters from home.
This involved sending ‘chain mail’ to Danny Beard and Chris Hughes, who had to be, you guessed it, chained together for the duration of the task, and a fragile wine bottle to Jack P. Shepherd, which he couldn’t put down.
Meanwhile, Karma hitmaker JoJo probably got the short straw, as ‘spam mail’ meant she had five minutes to scoff a whole tin of Spam—to the amazement of everyone, she did it… despite gagging a few times.
Speaking afterwards in the Diary Room, the TikTok sensation, 21, was asked by Big Brother what the ‘weirdest’ thing she’s ever been sent in the mail was.
Her answer had everyone shocked.

‘The weirdest thing I’ve ever had delivered to me before? A bomb,’ she stated.
Now able to laugh off the terrifying incident, she recalled: ‘I had a crazy, crazy stalker, and he sent me loads of things… sex toys, knives, but he sent me a bomb. A man-made bomb.
‘That got him put in prison for five whole years and yeah!’
Making matters even more hellish, JoJo confessed that she was only 12 years old when the threatening package was sent to her.
‘He got out (of jail) when I was 17.’
She added: ‘At the time, it was very scary. Obviously, now still, it’s still very scary, but I have an incredible team around me who protect and handle things like that the way that they need to.’
But it wasn’t all doom and gloom, as even BB was impressed to learn the best thing JoJo has ever been sent is a Christmas card from music legend Sir Elton John, which she receives every year.
Reacting to her stalker tale, viewers took to X to express their horror.
‘People were so mean to Jojo when she was 12/13 for being cringe and here she is casually mentioning that someone tried to BOMB HER HOUSE and sent her knives??? I’m so sorry that people were so cruel to a literal child’, wrote @amberstrology.
‘things like this just make feel bad for jojo because being brought up as a kid in the spotlight would definitely be a very unusual experience. being sent a bomb and sex toys as a 12 year old is disgusting and traumatic’, added @idk44455177.
‘That JoJo bomb story was intense. Scary people out there!’, wrote @MatthewRimmer.
‘JoJo Siwa being sent an actual bomb in the post is not what I expected to hear. Actually insane’, posted @dddanadine, adding that ‘it genuinely shocked me just how twisted people can be’.
Reports from the time state that a man called Phoenix Sundown was jailed for sending sexually explicit material to Dance Moms child star JoJo, who rose to fame on the show at 11.
He also revealed that he contacted multiple underage stars from the programme.
Speaking in a jailhouse interview with San Diego’s ABC 10, he admitted to sending 11 packages to Maddie Ziegler, who was also 12. With a tattoo on his throat, he said the ink was a zombie version of Dance Moms coach Abby Lee Miller.
JoJo’s stalker added that while people thought he was ‘obsessed’, he genuinely believed the young girls were communicating with him via code on social media.
‘They know I’m not going to come swinging through a rope and smashing through a window and screaming with printouts that we married,’ he said. ‘I’m not that crazy.’

It’s believed he sent five packages to JoJo.
While being in the house, she’s opened up about her rise to fame, including how she can’t leave the house now without security in tow.
But her popularity has spread across the pond throughout the series, carrying her all the way to the CBB 2025 final.
Tomorrow night, she will go up against best pal Chris, Corrie’s Jack, Drag Race royalty Danny, actress Donna, and pop star Chesney Hawkes, all battling it out for the win.
The Celebrity Big Brother final airs tomorrow at 9pm on ITV1 and ITVX.
