Celebrity Big Brother faced an unexpected twist when a panelist uttered the C-bomb not once, but twice!
AJ Odudu and Will Best were taken aback by drag queen Danny Beard’s outburst on the spin-off show Late & Live following Gary Goldsmith’s eviction.
Kate Middleton’s uncle, the Princess of Wales, was the first celebrity evicted from the ITV series after a showdown with Real Housewives of Cheshire star Lauren Simon.
The tension didn’t stop there as Danny Beard, known for Drag Race UK, predicted more conflict brewing between Ekin-Su Culculoglu and Zeze Millz, suggesting they might nominate each other again.
During the discussion, Danny observed, ‘I think Ekin-Su is eager to impress Sharon (Osbourne) and Louis (Walsh). And if Louis keeps saying, “I don’t like her, she sounds like a c**t, she looks like a c**t”…’
The studio was left in shock, leading Danny to question, ‘Oh, can I say that?’ while AJ and Will struggled to hide their horror.
It goes without saying that no, Danny, that word is off-limits.
Will apologized promptly, ‘We apologize for Danny’s choice of words, but it’s in the past now, and we won’t dwell on it.’
AJ chimed in, ‘We apologize for the slip-up. That’s the pressure of live TV.’
Danny was understandably mortified and covered their face out of embarrassment, repeatedly apologizing for their slip-up.
While producers likely worried about upsetting viewers, the audience surprisingly found the moment entertaining.
Viewers took to social media to describe the incident as ‘unforgettable’, with some finding humor in the situation.
Danny’s unexpected remarks occurred after a dramatic eviction where ‘buncle’ Gary was sent home amidst boos.
Reflecting after his eviction, Gary expressed that he had ‘the best time’ despite the mixed reactions from the crowd.
During a chat with AJ Odudu and Will Best, Gary confessed his regret for not nominating Louis for eviction, admitting, ‘Both people I voted for, I regret that decision.’
He added, ‘I voted for Lauren and I voted for Zeze, and I shouldn’t have because it was a rushed judgement.’
If pushed to choose, Gary admitted he would have selected the former X Factor judge for eviction due to ‘falling asleep a lot.’
‘It’s been a wild ride,’ he concluded during Late and Live after re-entering the ‘real world.’
Celebrity Big Brother continues tomorrow at 9pm on ITV and ITVX.
