CBB’s Michael Fabricant reveals his polyamorous relationship to Danny Beard

Celebrity Big Brother Housemate and Tory MP Michael Fabricant has opened up about his polyamorous lifesyle for the first time – to none other than Drag Race UK winner Danny Beard.

We know, it’s a fever dream of an opening line, but that’s what Celebrity Big Brother is all about.

The latest cast of 13 celebs has entered the Big Brother House, including “Karma” singer and Dance Moms star Jojo Siwa, former Love Island star Chris Hughes and Olympian Daley Thompson – all hosted by ‘gay pinup’ Will Best and TV mother AJ Odudu.

Perhaps the two most opposing characters in the house have been earmarked as the bisexual Conservative MP Sir Michael Fabricant and champ of Drag Race UK, season four, Danny Beard, with many viewers predicting an eventual Celebrity Big Brother clash.

That’s a sentiment shared by the other Housemates as when the pair met on Launch Night, pop star Chesney Hawkes told the pair, “This is the relationship we’ve all been waiting for.”

Danny then told Fabricant, “If you could convert from Tory after this, I’d love ya,” to which the politician joked, “To Reform?”

“No, not further into the closet, so to speak,” Danny joked, after which Fabricant unexpectedly opened up about his polyamorous relationship.

“I’ve never been in the closet,” Fabricant said. “[My relationship] is complicated. I have someone that I have known for 35 years, who’s 13 years younger than me, but I also have… two friends, and we all go on holidays separately, with me or not,” he explained to Celebrity Big Brother co-stars Jojo Siwa

Danny asked: “Would you call that polyamory, an open relationship? Because I actually think a lot of gay people are like that and a lot of straight people don’t understand it.”

Nodding his head in apparent agreement, Fabricant before later adding: “I would maybe say I’ve got very deep friendships. That would maybe be more tactful.”

Fabricant is known for both his hair and for his position as the Conservative Party’s Member of Parliament for Lichfield, formerly Mid Staffordshire, from 1992 to 2024, when he was beaten by Labour’s Dave Robertson.

The Tory, 71, entered the House to overwhelming ‘boos’ from the live audience during Launch Night.

Danny Beard however, is already a firm favourite to win the CBB crown, having already snatched the victory in one iconic reality television programme – the fourth series of Drag Race UK.

Celebrity Big Brother is available to stream on ITVX. Live shows air Sunday to Friday at 9pm on ITV1 in the UK.
