In a conversation in the Diary Room, Danny became emotional after it was revealed he was one of the six finalists.

Speaking to Big Brother he said: "To survive a triple eviction, I suppose it makes me feel liked, which is always a very odd, odd feeling to have.

"You know, I've come into a house with people that are famous. And it's just been me. I'm f***ing great at drag.

"But this isn't drag, I'm just being me. Over ten years, people have told the drag version of me how amazing I am.

"But there's a person behind that, you know? I've not needed the drag armour.

"If I went home tomorrow, I'd feel loved. And it's such a lovely feeling, so thank you."

Despite his very honest, and emotional, chat with Big Brother some fans accused him of having a "gameplan".

Discussing it on Reddit, one fan said: "I find it funny Danny keeps saying he isn’t a celebrity like everyone else when he knows for sure big brother fans are aware of him cos he used to appear on late & live, he speaks like he is a civilian in there with them lMAO."

Others agreed with him, with one saying: "I'm sure Danny has a gameplan going on here, he knows what he's doing."
