Celebrity Big Brother star Danny Beard broke down in tears after receiving an emotional letter from home.
Thursday’s episode (24 April) of the ITV reality show saw the remaining six housemates spend their final night in the iconic house ahead of Friday’s final, with the group receiving messages from home before the big day.
Danny, who has also appeared on RuPaul’s Drag Race UK, gave Donna Preston the honour of reading aloud his mail, which included a letter from his boyfriend Kye and an amusing poem from his father.
“Dear Dan. Firstly, that entrance!” read the letter from Kye. “The reception you had was amazing. That was your moment… You’re doing so well. Watching you every day has made me fall in love with you even more. I’m counting down the days until I can give you a big squeeze.”
A tearful Danny remarked upon the letters during a visit to the Diary Room, sharing with Big Brother: “I have the best friends, family and support unit. I’m so madly in love with my boyfriend – I miss him so much.”

Following the note from Kye, Donna also shared a poem that had been written by Danny’s father, with the reality star amusingly exclaiming “Oh, for f**ks sake Dad” before the note was read aloud.
