She went on to appear on the main series two years later and now Abby, 59, had had her say on JoJo's stint in the Celebrity Big Brother house.

It's been a mix of highs and lows for JoJo, after she was reduced to tears after Mickey Rourke aimed a series of homophobic slurs at her.

But she's also struck up a close friendship with Love Island star Chris Hughes - with their relatioship confusing fans given the fact JoJo has a partner on the outside.

Appearing on , Abby said: "I  just know that Jojo is a good competitor.

More on JoJo Siwa

"She likes to compete and she's going to be great at the challenges, whether they're physical or mental or if she has to sing or dance or act, she's going to be good."

"Proud" Abby - who insisted she talks to JoJo "at least once a week" - said of working with her: "She was not quiet.

"She was feisty. She had charisma. She was precious and adorable.

"Her face, you looked at her and you just thought she was this angel, and then she opened her mouth."

And Abby said she's certain CBB will be a springboard for even more success for JoJo in the future.

She added: "She's going to be a pop star.

JoJo Siwa finally reveals what she was writing on Chris Hughes' hand

"Any time I'm asked about JoJo and her music, I always say that kid is laughing all the way to the bank.”

Earlier this week fans hit out at JoJo, branding her "disrespectful" for her tactile relationship with Chris despite having been with partner Kath since November last year.

One disgruntled viewer said: "I feel sorry for JoJo's partner. There is being friendly but it's actually disrespectful to her partner."

While another wrote: "You'd think it would be brother, sister vibes but what we've seen so far is weird."
