In early April, Jojo headed to the UK to take part in Celebrity Big Brother UK.

There are certain events that can only happen in Mayfair. A luxury erotic performance art salon is one of them. Down the carpeted stairs and wood-pannelled walls of Dear Darling, the Sublime Society is about to make its London debut.
