Danny Beard, a winner of RuPaul’s Drag Race UK, and La Voix, a fellow drag artist, are among the finalists for Celebrity Big Brother, which airs tonight.
Fellow RuPaul’s Drag Race UK star La Voix has said that it’s “fabulous” to see Danny Beard on Celebrity Big Brother. The drag artist teased over the housemate ahead of the final.
Danny, 32, is among the finalists on show, which returned for its second series on ITV two weeks ago. Like the other five remaining housemates, they will be leaving the Big Brother house in tonight’s final, where one of them will follow in the footsteps of David Potts by being crowned the winner.
La Voix, 44, who is actually Christopher Dennis, shared her thoughts about Danny appearing on this year’s season of the reality TV show just a few days ago. Both of them competed in RuPaul’s Drag Race UK, but they also had other seasons of the same show and have performed together in the past.
La Voix told the Mirror earlier this week: “How fabulous to see one of my Drag Race family in the big house! [Danny] on Celebrity Big Brother is like watching RuPaul meets Argos – fabulous, chaotic, and somehow always shouting over the kettle. I’m not sure if they’re playing the game or redecorating the house in sequins, but I’m here for it.”
Asked if she was surprised that Danny has been a favourite to win ahead of the upcoming final, La Voix teased: “Not at all, darling. It’s Celebrity Big Brother, not Mensa. The louder you shout, the closer you get to the crown – and Danny’s been practically screaming in rhinestones since day one.”
Some viewers have questioned if Danny is ‘playing up for the cameras,’ though any suggestion of that was dismissed by one of their pals in an interview with us. Asked about the fan reaction and if we’re seeing the real Danny in the Big Brother house, La Voix teased: “They love the camera so much I’m surprised it hasn’t asked for a restraining order.”
The drag performer was also asked if Drag Race would have prepared Danny for Celebrity Big Brother. Danny appeared on the BBC show in 2022 and went on to win it, whilst La Voix was herself runner-up two years later.
In response to the question, La Voix responded, “Well confessionals, surprise nominations, and questionable wigs are making a comeback in Big Brother, so it’s known territory. Although we have never seen Danny making breakfast or morning coffee with RuPaul, he must be under pressure due to both his limited budgets for costumes and food.
La Voix – who spoke to us about her own career recently – teased that she would welcome Danny onto her the Show Isn’t Over tour later this year. She said: “If [Danny] came on tour with me, they’d be the official opening act – just enough to get the audience warmed up and mildly entertained before I’d put him on preparing my ridiculous rider of peeling Maltesers.”
Danny is one of the finalists for Celebrity Big Brother’s second season, which wraps up tonight. For the title, they square off against Chesney Hawkes, Chris Hughes, Donna Preston, JoJo Siwa, and Jack P. Shepherd.
Celebrity Big Brother’s final episode airs tonight at 9 p.m. on ITV, STV, ITVX, and STV Player. On ITV2 and ITVX, Late &, Live will air at 10:30 p.m.
