Inside CBB star Danny Beard's romance with rarely-seen boyfriend Kye
Celebrity Big Brother star Danny Beard has kept coy about their relationship with Kye, but gave fans a small insight into their love after receiving a gushing letter from their beau
Celebrity Big Brother finalist Danny Beard has been entertaining fans in the house, but once he heads back home, he will be welcomed by someone who finds him even more endearing - long-term partner Kye French. Danny, who turns 33 in May and uses they/them pronouns, first rose to fame after winning RuPaul's Drag Race UK in 2022.
Since then they've built a thriving career in drag, appearing on shows like Hollyoaks and launching their popular podcast The Gossip Gays. But, away from TV screens, Danny shares their life with boyfriend Kye, a live event specialist who works as a freelance production coordinator and stage manager.
The pair are thought to have been dating since at least late 2022, when Kye posted a snap of the couple at Danny's Drag Race crowning ceremony on Instagram. Kye, who lives in Manchester with Danny and their dogs, has carved out a successful career behind the scenes working on everything from large-scale festivals to major UK events.
He has a military background and describes himself as "methodical, safety-conscious, and resilient" – the perfect antidote to Danny's fabulous chaos. Despite keeping a relatively low profile, Kye has been quietly supporting Danny's rise to fame.
Kye has made several appearances at drag events with his partner, including at RuPaul's Drag Con, where Danny teased him for posting the photo he looked better in.
Over the past two years, the couple have enjoyed several adventures together – including a sun-soaked trip to Cyprus for a friend's wedding, Beyoncé's Renaissance tour, and multiple appearances at Glastonbury, where Kye has worked both as a volunteer and performer.
Their relationship took centre stage on Celebrity Big Brother this week when Danny received an emotional letter from home during the semi-final.
The message, which was read aloud by housemate Donna Preston, included a touching note from Kye that said: "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."
Danny was left in tears and later told 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."
At another point in the reality show Danny referenced his boyfriend while commenting on the close relationship between housemates JoJo Siwa and Chris Hughes.
When asked how they'd feel in a similar situation, Danny admitted: "If my boyfriend saw me with anyone, regardless of gender like that, he'd have words."
Kye has also been showing his support for Danny in real time, reacting to episodes of the show on Danny's Gossip Gays podcast and joining the rest of the team in London for tonight's live final. The event is being filmed at the iconic West London studio where the Big Brother house is located, so it's likely Kye will be in the audience to cheer Danny on as they leave the house.
In one episode, Kye broke down while admitting how much he misses his partner, saying: "On Monday and Tuesday night I was sat at home on my own just me and the dogs, and it's just like a void, and I don't like it. I'm going to cry. I fall asleep watching the live stream every single night just so I feel like he's there with me still." Kye could then be seen wiping tears away from his face.

However, until February 2027, the taxman will take 40% of this as part of her first bankruptcy order. Speaking about her raunchy account on Katherine Ryan's podcast, What's My Age Again, Katie revealed that she often gets feedback from her daughter. She told the Canadian comedian: "I show Princess and she's like, 'mum, that's so good, that picture'. This and that. "This is what's funny about Princess. This is probably why we get on.' She went on: "She does her days where she goes out and does her pictures for her Instagram and she's like, mum, can you get eight outfits for me? I said, what, your clothes? "No, your clothes. I went, why do you want to use my clothes? Because your style, you do it better. So, she uses my clothes for her Instagram pictures." Katie recently revealed that she had been encouraging Princess to sign up for Love Island. Speaking on the latest episode of her podcast The Katie Price Show, she said: 'I keep saying to Princess, 'why don't you do Love Island?''

A source said: "She always kept the romance out of the public eye and it will be the same with her split.

"Princess is really concentrating on her career right now and there's no place for a man.' Princess' ex has unfollowed her on social media but does still follow all of her family members. It's been a week of highs and lows for Princess, who revealed she'd passed her driving test and showed off her £10,000 car. She proudly declared in the caption: 'I bought my first car' but was hit with criticism by fans, who believe it was actually mum and dad Katie and Peter Andre who actually forked out the cash for it. But Princess has now put that speculation to bed, hitting back at the comments and declaring: 'These comments are so funny. "To everyone out there, yes I work and yes I earn my own money which I'm super proud of and so thankful that I'm lucky enough to buy my own car xx."

Hollyoaks confirms domestic abuse story with Ste and Lucas
Hollyoaks will highlight an under-recognised but common form of domestic abuse asLucas Hay (Oscar Curtis) will physically attack dad Ste (Kieron Richardson). Lucas, as viewers know, was diagnosed with a brain tumour, with recent scenes seeing him undergo life saving surgery, which entailed a series of complications. Ste was incredibly worried for son, who is brought out of his coma later this week and, despite the aforementioned complications, Lucas is set to make a full recovery. But the situation escalates soon afterwards, with Lucas holding resentment towards Ste for getting together with Rex Gallagher (Jonny Labey), who was largely to blame for Dillon Ray's (Nathaniel Dass) ordeal. Rex, as fans will recall, groomed Dillon into a trafficking operation and got him hooked on drugs. After finding out that Ste warned Dillon to keep away from him, Lucas will start to physically abuse his dad. Tony Hutchinson (Nick Pickard) notices the bruises on Ste, who downplays the situation. Lucas is quick to apologise for his actions. More tense scenes are confirmed for next week. Lucas is thrilled when he arrives home to find Dillon, who is set to move in, waiting for him. Things are awkward at first but Dillon breaks the ice, asking Lucas if they can be boyfriends again. Subsequent scenes see Dillon apologise to Lucas for whatever transpired and he later confides in Ste about his addiction struggles. Ste offer him support, assuring Dillon that he can talk to him – not Lucas as he doesn't want him burdened him while he's recovering. Little do they know, however, that Lucas has overheard their conversation via the nearby baby monitor. The teen's anger boils over and thus he confronts both Ste and Dillon, accusing them of having an affair. Metro understands that this storyline will continue as Lucas takes his anger out on Ste behind closed doors. To ensure the storyline is accurate as possible, Hollyoaks is working with PEGS (Parental Education Growth Support), which offers help to parents being abused by their children, be it verbal, physical, emotional, financial, or other.

More Trending Discussing the story, Kieron said: 'This storyline is one that as a parent is conflicting, as you would do anything for your kids. 'It flips the script on what many people assume abuse looks like and both Oscar and I are working hard to show what happens when the dynamic is reversed. 'We often think of parents disciplining children, but what happens when the dynamic is reversed? It's uncomfortable, it's emotional, and it's real. We've worked closely with experts to make sure this is portrayed truthfully, and I hope it encourages the kind of conversations that might help families going through similar situations feel seen and supported.'

Miley Cyrus sparks backlash after joking she'l get JoJo Siwa 'out the closet'
Miley Cyrus has upset fans with a seemingly 'biphobic' comment about JoJo Siwa's relationship with Chris Hughes. The Something Beautiful hitmaker was speaking on a panel at Dreamland Pride Festival in New York when she joked about JoJo, 22, and her new romance. 'Enjoy coming out of the closet if this Pride is the time for you,' Miley, 32, told the crowd before adding they should 'have an amazing Pride.' The Hannah Montana legend concluded: 'Alright, I'm going back to get some more pretzels and find JoJo Siwa and bring her back out.' This came after the internet personality, who identifies as queer, split with her partner Kath Ebbs, 27, at the Celebrity Big Brother wrap party. Since the show, JoJo's love life and sexuality have been in the spotlight, she moved on with cisgender male housemate Chris Hughes, 32. Miley's comments were seen by some as adding to the erasure of JoJo's queer identity, now that she is dating a man.

Simply click on this link, select 'Join Chat' and you're in! Don't forget to turn on notifications! 'It's really strange how some bi women can be biphobic, lol,' wrote sophiebbx_ on X, pointing out Miley has said she identifies as pansexual. Pansexual, which JoJo has also used previously, is similar to bisexuality and means you can be attracted to anyone regardless of their gender expression. 'Publicly shaming a young woman exploring her sexuality is abhorrent,' said folklorepaltrow. 'Not just Miley, but all of yall posting 'jokes'.' Arttavana added: 'I don't think it's 'funny' to make fun of someone's sexual orientation or gender, but I guess it's perfectly fine if it's directed at someone for not being gay or queer-enough during Pride.' Others defended Miley, pointing out she was clearly joking and is friends with JoJo, so would not have said anything maliciously. 'Miley & Jojo are literally friends irl,' shared MileyCyrusBz. 'Jojo is the biggest Miley fan and Miley is always supporting Jojo. She's just joking with HER FRIEND & HER COMMUNITY that you DON'T own.' Xxmahibogixx added: 'Miley and Jojo's friendship is the real deal! Loving this playful side.' However, there were some people saying that regardless of Miley's intention or friendship, she has added to the biphobia JoJo is facing. 'JoJo is getting visceral hate from the community at the moment so Miley doing this, even if it's a joke, is distasteful. especially considering they're meant to be friends,' said kookpjm13. Biphobia somtimes comes from within the LGBTQ+ community, and is particularly directed towards queer women when they date a man (therefore becoming 'straight passing).

While in the Big Brother house, JoJo told Danny Beard: 'I feel, like, so queer, do you know what I mean?I think that's the thing. 'I've always told myself I'm a lesbian, and I think being here I've realised: 'Oh, I'm not a lesbian, I'm queer.' And I think that's really cool.' It took time for JoJo and Chris to officially confirm their relationship was 'not platonic anymore', despite heavy speculation.
