5<\/p>\n Celeb Big Brother star Nicola McLean has been blocked by one of this year’s housematesCredit: Getty 5<\/p>\n She revealed she’d been snubbed by Danny Beard onlineCredit: Rex<\/p>\n But Nicola<\/a> has been caught up in a surprise ‘feud’ with one of this year’s housemates on the ITV<\/a> reboot.<\/p>\n Speaking to the Mirror<\/a>, Nicola admitted that Drag Race UK winner and podcaster Danny Beard<\/a> has her blocked on social media.<\/p>\n Nicola admitted she had no idea why Danny had snubbed her, telling the outlet: “I absolutely loved him! I always said he was my winner.<\/p>\n “I love a gay, we know this. I\u2019m so part of the LGBTQ+ community, I absolutely support it. <\/p>\n “But here\u2019s the kicker, he blocked me on\u00a0Instagram. <\/p>\n “I was shocked. I hadn\u2019t posted anything bad, only support.”<\/p>\n Nicola then speculated that it could have been for a number of reasons on Danny’s behalf but admitted it was “disappointing” to discover that she was barred from interacting with him online.<\/p>\n She said: \u00a0“I think maybe his management did it or maybe he has a filter for certain words, but I hadn\u2019t even tagged him yet!<\/p>\n “I was so tempted to email and ask why supporting someone would get me blocked, but then I thought – what\u2019s the point? <\/p>\n “Still, it was disappointing.”<\/p>\n Moment Danny Beard shocks CBB hosts by making a play for their job live on TV<\/p>\n Elsewhere, Nicola took issue with the amount of money the contestants are paid for the show.<\/p>\n Known for being TV’s biggest payday, she argued that housemates should be paid depending on how entertaining they are.<\/p>\n This year’s winner, Jack P Shepherd, who Nicola insisted was “undeserving”, was handed \u00a3100,000 for his stint.<\/p>\n In comparison, JoJo Siwa<\/a> banked a cool \u00a3400,000 whilst Chris Hughes<\/a> got \u00a345,000 with Danny Beard taking home just \u00a330k.<\/p>\n 5<\/p>\n Danny was a housemate on this year’s showCredit: Rex 5<\/p>\n But Nicola was unable to congratulate him after being blockedCredit: Getty<\/p>\n Mickey Rourke<\/a> was due to get a \u00a3500,000 payout but saw his fee slashed when he was ejected with the star likely being paid no more than \u00a350,000.<\/p>\n Nicola said: “I think they should change how they do fees – it should reward the most entertaining.<\/p>\n “People lie about fees all the time. Someone once said I got \u00a37,500 for I\u2019m A Celebrity\u2014I called the journalist and asked, \u2018Where the hell did you get that from?\u2019 No one does it for that little.”<\/p>\n “But back to the point – it\u2019s wrong to go in there, sit around, and just take the money. <\/p>\n “You\u2019ve been put there to entertain!”<\/p>\n Nicola appeared on the show for the first time in 2012 alongside Denise Welch<\/a> and Frankie Cocozza.<\/p>\n However, it was her stint in 2017 where she clashed with Kim Woodburn<\/a> that became her most memorable.<\/p>\n Nicola regularly rowed with Kim and was seen in a heated confrontation most nights with her co-star.<\/p>\n![\"Nicola](\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/nicola-mclean-5th-place-leaves-992081417.jpg\")
