Danny Beard has told Big Brother housemate Philip “The Queen of Scotty Road” Regan to “get in the bin” after comments made during a conversation about transgender people, including a remark about people who “identify as a fridge”.
The RuPaul’s Drag Race UK winner made the comments on Big Brother: The Group Chat, alongside hosts GK Barry and Kate Lawler, saying he had “gone right off” Philip following what he repeatedly called the “fridge comment”.
“Don’t get me started on him, because I loved the Queen of Scotty Road when he came in,” Beard said.
Philip sparked a conversation about trans people and what it means to be an ally, after he claimed some people say they “identify as a fridge”, whereas there was only “he or she” when he was younger.
Beard went on: “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.”
‘Get in the bin!’
Beard also pointed to Big Brother history while criticising the remark, referencing Nadia Almada’s win in 2004.
“And we look back, 2004, one of the best winners ever, Nadia. Proud trans woman. And then we cut to 2026 and we’ve got people making fridge comments? Get in the bin!” he said.
Philip, 53, has also caused controversy among viewers after he slammed co-star Twinks, who is bisexual, for her use of the word “queer”.
In fact, he was so upset with it, that he used it as part of his reason to nominate her this week. Now, Twinks faces eviction against another queer housemate, Rob, and Yasmin, who got a “killer nomination”.
Danny Beard criticises Omar El Mayer
Beard also said his opinion had shifted on another housemate, Omar El Mayer.
“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’,” he told GK and Lawler.
Omar has attracted criticism from viewers for his behaviour towards love interest Rhianna, claiming he is being overly controlling of her.
Big Brother continues Sunday to Thursday at 9pm on ITV2 and ITVX.
