<\/p>\nDrag performer Danny Beard left fans fuming during Tuesday’s Celebrity Big Brother episode after they slammed the Union Jack flag.<\/p>\n
The “anti-British” remarks came as the remaining housemates enjoyed a traditional British tea party complete with decorations themed around the de facto national flag of the United Kingdom.<\/p>\n
The celebration came after American singer and dancer JoJo Siwa passed a “secret mission” to find out all she could about British culture, although she didn’t realise at the time she was being tricked.<\/p>\n
The 21-year-old was told by Big Brother: “Your mission is to learn as much about British culture and traditions from the other housemates so you can pass your test. JoJo you must keep this test a secret.”<\/p>\n
CBB star Chris Hughes labelled the Union Jack a ‘great flag’<\/p>\n
ITV<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, the other famous faces were informed: “Housemates, JoJo is currently in the Diary Room where she has been told she is taking part in a secret task to pass Big Brother’s British citizenship test.<\/p>\n
“As a group, your secret mission is to make sure she fails her test by feeding her misinformation about all things British.”<\/p>\n
The group soon began to fill Siwa’s head with false information about Brits, leading to some comical conversations.<\/p>\n
Thankfully for the group, Siwa believed each claim and passed the challenge, relaying all her collected “information” to Big Brother.<\/p>\n
LATEST DEVELOPMENTS<\/strong><\/p>\n Danny Beard’s comments about the Union Jack flag sparked a backlash on X<\/p>\n ITV <\/p>\n As the housemates later donned Union Jack hats and waves flags, performer Beard, 32, quipped: “Scone or scone, dear Patsy? That’s the question.”<\/p>\n Singer Chesney Hawkes joked: “One minute it’s there, next minute it’s scone.”<\/p>\n “Do you guys do cream first or the jam first?” Siwa asked, prompting the classic debate.<\/p>\n “Jam,” actress comedian Donna Preston replied, with Love Island star Chris Hughes disagreeing: “Cream then jam, I do.”<\/p>\n “Yeah, cream and then jam,” reality star Ella Rae Wise chimed, leading Beard to claim: “That’s wrong, cream on jam is weird.”<\/p>\n “It’s all going in the same way though, surely,” 24-year-old The Only Way Is Essex (Towie) star Wise argued.<\/p>\n Picking up one of the flags and giving it a wave, Hughes, 32, commented: “It’s a great flag, isn’t it?”<\/p>\n “It’s f***ing not,” Beard hit back, with Hughes insisting: “No, this is a great flag.”<\/p>\n “Oh, you’re such a Tory,” Beard remarked in response, with their disapproval sparking a backlash online.<\/p>\n On X, one viewer fumed: “F*** off if you don\u2019t like it Danny #CBBUK,” along with a Union Jack flag emoji.<\/p>\n The CBB housemates enjoyed a traditional British afternoon tea<\/p>\n ITV <\/p>\n “Danny… you\u2019re such a Tory?? No just proud brits, I\u2019m disappointed in you now #CBBUK,” another penned.<\/p>\n “How is being proud of our great country \u2018being a Tory\u2019? #CBBUK,” someone else asked.<\/p>\n Another raged: “That’s me done with Danny. Disliking the British flag and assuming it’s only for Tory voters. #CBBUK.”<\/p>\n “Why does liking the union jack make you a Tory Danny. It’s our national flag #CelebrityBigBrother #CBB,” another shared.<\/p>\n Some stressed that Beard was likely joking and urged viewers not to take the comments so seriously, with one person posting: “The Tory comment wasn’t that deep. Most of what Danny says is light-hearted & sassy, chillllllll #cbbuk.” (sic)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Drag performer Danny Beard left fans fuming during Tuesday’s Celebrity Big Brother episode after they slammed the Union…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":44668,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3940],"tags":[1456,4080,4781,77,208,382,16,15],"class_list":{"0":"post-44667","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-celebrities","8":"tag-big-brother","9":"tag-celebrities","10":"tag-celebrity","11":"tag-entertainment","12":"tag-itv","13":"tag-tv","14":"tag-uk","15":"tag-united-kingdom"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/114389008564703103","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/44667","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=44667"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/44667\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/44668"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=44667"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=44667"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=44667"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}![\"Danny](\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/danny-beard.jpg\")
