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.

Just days ago, La Voix, 44 – whose real name is Christopher Dennis – shared her thoughts on Danny being on this year’s series of the reality TV show. They have both been finalists on RuPaul’s Drag Race UK, though appeared on different seasons, 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.

Answering the question, La Voix said: “Well confessionals, surprise nominations and questionable wigs are making a comeback in Big Brother so it’s known territory. We never saw Danny make breakfast and morning coffee with Ru Paul, but tight costume budgets mixed with tight food budgets must be testing him.”

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 among the finalists on the second series of Celebrity Big Brother, which ends with its final tonight. They are up against Chesney Hawkes, Chris Hughes, Donna Preston, JoJo Siwa and Jack P. Shepherd for the crown.
