Big Brother's Philip called out by Danny Beard: "Get in the bin"

RuPaul's Drag Race UK winner and Celebrity Big Brother contestant Danny Beard has hit out at Philip 'The Queen of Scotty Road' Regan for comments he made last week. The reality show sparked controversy when Philip claimed that people 'identify as a fridge' during a conversation about transgender people with his fellow housemates.

On the latest episode of companion show The Group Chat, Beard told GK Barry and Kate Lawler that he's gone right off Philip because of those comments.

"Don't get me started on him, because I loved the Queen of Scotty Road when he came in", he said.

"And the fridge comment... I'm not into anyone from any kind of community pulling up the ladder behind them. Language changes, communities change, we should fight for all of our community and not try to alienate... certainly not our trans siblings.

"And we look back, 2004, one of the best winners ever, Nadia (Almada). Proud trans woman. And then we cut to 2026 and we've got people making fridge comments? Get in the bin!"

Another person that Danny liked at the start but has since gone off is Omar El Mayer, stating: "Not vibing with Omar. I don't like the way he speaks. Not just to women, though – clock this – to men he thinks are 'less than'."

"That's what men do to other men to intimidate them", he continued.

"Instead of falling asleep half way through The Manosphere with Louis Theroux, you should've stayed awake, honey. You pop off at Rhianna for maybe flirting with Lynx, but he's never gone to Lynx from what we've seen... In his mind, he sees Lynx as superior."

On the other hand, Danny said he's a big fan of Yasmin and Twinks, who he is "gutted" is up for eviction.

Big Brother airs on ITV2 and streams on ITVX.
