JoJo Siwa flashed a peace sign as she jetted into Canada, after coming out as gay.

The YouTube star revealed she was part of the LGBTQ+ community in the most iconic way, donning a T-shirt which read: ‘Best. Gay. Cousin. Ever’.

Following the announcement, the 17-year-old got straight back to work, arriving in Vancouver – and is thought to be getting started on a new Nickelodeon film.

She was spotted rocking a black JoJo Siwa branded hoodie and jeans for the trip, along with a face mask.

The teenager offered up the peace sign, finishing up the look with a colourful pair of trainers.

JoJo’s appearance comes after she opened up about her sexuality in an Instagram live session, insisting that she will not be labelling herself.

When asked what ‘label’ she is, she responded: ‘I have thought about this, and the reason I’m not going to say this answer is because I don’t really know this answer. I think humans are awesome, I think humans are really incredible people. 

‘Right now, I’m super duper happy and I want to share everything with the world, I really do, but I also want to keep things in my life private until they are ready to be public.

‘Right now what matters is that you guys know that no matter who you love, that it’s okay and that it’s awesome and the world is there for you.

‘I’m the happiest I’ve ever been, that’s what matters.

‘I have never, ever, ever been this happy before and it feels really awesome.’

The Boomerang singer was showered with love by a string of famous faces – with Paris Hilton, Ellen DeGeneres and Tana Mongeau among those sharing their support.

Former Dance Moms co-star Abby Lee also celebrated the news, blessing us all with a string of pictures from over the years. 

‘I always knew the world would be a more colourful, positive, sparkly place with a kind, loving, dazzling triple threat like you in it,’ she captioned the Instagram post.

‘A shining example for the kids out there to live their BEST lives each and every day. 

‘*You put your heart on the platter! (If you know you know) Love you kiddo!!!Keep making me proud.’
