Celebrity Big Brother star Danny Beard has horrified ITV viewers after admitting that he has had his dead pet parrot stored in his freezer for eight years. The Drag Race UK star, 32, was seen chatting to housemate Donna Preston in the garden as they spoke about their love for their pets.
When Donna, 38, shared her love for her beloved cat, Danny confessed that he used to have a pet parrot who he held very dear to his heart. However, eight years ago, Danny’s beloved bird passed away and he decided to store her dead body in his freezer in the hopes of one day getting her taxidermied.
“I’ve had her there for eight years. I’ve had her in the freezer for longer than I had her as a pet. I only had her for four years but she’s been in the freezer for eight,” Danny shared before Donna asked him how often he checks up on his frozen pet. Danny answered by admitting that he checks up on her every couple of years. “I checked her before I left for Big Brother. Or whenever I’m moving house or something.”
Danny added that his beloved parrott is frozen in his freezer in her bed and inside a box. His admission horrified Late and Live viewers who thought the scene was an elaborate joke – but evicted housemate Patsy Palmer confirmed that it was true.
“Danny Beard is even weirder than I expected. Sick f**k keeping his parrot in the freezer,” one viewer joked. “Ewwwwww Danny didn’t need to confess that. Imagine he’s going to the freezer t get ice-cream and there’s just a dead bird there,” another echoed.
The Celebrity Big Brother house will now be a lot quieter as Angellica Bell, Ella Rae Wise and Patsy Palmer became victims of the brutal triple eviction. The shock news was announced as housemates nominated face-to-face for the first time this series in an Easter twist.
Ella Rae Wise, Angellica Bell, Patsy Palmer, Chris Hughes and JoJo Siwa received the most nominations from their fellow housemates and were told they would all face the public vote. However, there was a twist – the housemate who found the Golden Egg would be saved. JoJo then found the egg and chose Danny to replace her in the public vote.
The first housemate to leave was Angellica Bell, who was greeted by cheers as she left the house. Speaking to Will and AJ after her eviction, the CBBC presenter said: “I did not think I would even last this long. In my eyes I’ve won this show.”
Speaking on her up and down friendship with Patsy, Angellica said: “Patsy always treated me like a child. Not in a bad way but she always wanted to look after me, whereas I wanted to help as well. To be fair to Patsy, she had a difficult first week, bless her.”
Later on in the interview, she broke down in tears as Will and AJ congratulated her on 25 years in the TV industry . Next, Will and AJ announced that the fifth housemate to be evicted was TOWIE star Ella Rae Wise. Breaking down in tears, Ella explained how she was “so happy” to be out.
Speaking on Chris and JoJo’s close friendship, Ella said: “I don’t think I was bothered, I think I can spot someone when they know what they’re doing and that they know what they’re going to gain from someone. JoJo’s a young girl and being in the industry I know about latch ons and when someone’s trying to gain something from someone.”
The final housemate to be evicted was Patsy Palmer. The EastEnders star was ecstatic as she left the house, after making it clear she wanted to be back with her family as the week went on. Speaking on her friendship with Angellica, Patsy said: “I think that we’re very similar in many ways.
“We both are quite private people even though we’re on telly all the time. I think we were a little bit shell shocked by the cameras. “I thought she would snap at me, she thought I would snap at her, it’s just friends really.”
The triple eviction means nine housemates will become six with just three days to go until the grand final on Friday night.
Celebrity Big Brother 2025 airs weeknights and Sundays at 9PM on ITV1 and ITVX.
