Celebrity Big Brother star Chris Hughes has received a dramatic makeover from co-star Danny Beard, leaving one of their former housemates stunned with his new look.
The pair formed a firm friendship during their stint on the ITV show last month, and in a new video for the Boys In Beat series for KLOSS Community, Danny decided to recreate their famous drag makeup on Chris' face.
In the video, Danny, 32, applied their famous white drag makeup onto Chris, 32, while they reflected on their time in the house.
Danny went onto finish runner-up to series winner Jack P Shepherd, while Chris reached the final, landing in sixth place.
During the video, Chris offered insight into his own beauty regime, sharing that he gets manicures and pedicures every three weeks, weekly massages and isn't afraid to do his own makeup if he is being filmed.
Reflecting on their time in the CBB house, Chris admitted he was a 'barrel of nerves' when he headed in on launch night, joining stars including Chesney Hawkes, Mickey Rourke and Trisha Goddard on the show.
But he went onto add that he felt he's learned more about himself watching back his appearance on Love Island in 2017, telling Danny: 'It's the first time I'd ever done a television show, and I know shows like that are tough for many people for the percentage of people you come out of shows like that and that can be hard.'
The pair also got into deep discussions as Chris asked him about his childhood and bullying at school.
Danny revealed: 'The first thing kids would say to me was 'you sound like a girl!'', this when I was like four or five that's what they would say to me.
'It was so confusing and then when i knew I was gay I was so angry because I thought the people that had called me gay had made me gay.
'And I remember telling my mum that I didn't want to be here when I was a kid, I know that's deep sorry!
'Like that's what people said at school when something was bad they'd say 'that's gay that!'
He also revealed that he initially thought one Celebrity Big Brother housemate had 'hated him'.
Chris asked him of entering the house: 'What's that like for you adapting around people who have just an extreme amount of masculine energy?'
Danny replied: 'Listen when I got in there Daley (Thompson) was giving me the stares and I was like 'he hates me he hates me' and he made a little comment 'it's not all about you' and I just went in myself a bit.'
'So that does affect you?' Chris replied.
Danny continued: 'Yeah because I don't ever fully trust straight men and that has been a learning experience being in Big Brother.
'The biggest thing I learnt in there was if you give everyone five minutes you realise you've got more in common with people who you don't.
'I've always been the butt of straight men's jokes. I still am, my boyfriend catches people all the time, groups are lads staring at me. I'm very visibly gay.'
As they completed Chris' transformation, Danny asked whether they should Facetime one of their former housemates to show off the look.
Suggesting JoJo Siwa, who formed a close friendship with Chris in the house, he replied: 'Middle of the night, that's the only thing I was just thinking in my head, I know she went to bed about two hours ago.'
Instead, the pair decided to call Donna Preston, pretending that Chris was in fact Danny, leaving the comedian in hysterics.
After sparking romance rumours with Chris during her Celebrity Big Brother stint, JoJo called time on her relationship with Kath Ebbs at the CBB wrap party last month.
JoJo talked through exactly what went down between her and Kath after she left the house and also claimed that Chris, 32, was not the reason for the split.
When asked about the breakup, which Kath said happened at the CBB wrap party, JoJo explained: 'Out of respect for another human in the situation, they have asked me not to speak about it or them.
'I told them that's going to make me seem avoidant of the situation and I'm not avoidant of the situation. Obviously a lot of people think that Chris has something to do with it.
'Chris does not have absolutely anything to do with it. Chris and I are friends, we have a very great friendship. It's a very special bond unlike any friendship I've ever created but my situations are completely unrelated and that kind of got misconstrued.'
