Celebrity Big Brother's Chris Hughes receives a drag makeover from Danny Beard - before playing a hilarious prank on one of their housemates with his new look

Daily Mail​07-05-2025

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.'

I live with my ex in a tiny flat even though we broke up - we still share a bed but neither of us can afford to move out

A woman has revealed how she's still living with her ex-boyfriend in a tiny flat - even though they broke up months earlier. Bethany Lee, who is from Devon, broke up with her fiancé David Smith around three months ago. The couple, who had been together for two and a half years and share one-year-old son Finneas, are still sharing the cooking and cleaning - and even sleep in the same bed. Bethany, who is in her late 20s, says that neither of them can afford to move out so for now they're making do in the 'tiny' two-bedroom flat in Derbyshire. She explained that the break-up was 'pretty mutual' and they still 'get along really well as friends'. In a video on TikTok, where she's posting with the aim to raise enough money to move out, Bethany said: 'I've been living with my ex-boyfriend for three months now and everyone's a bit interested in it. 'We just can't afford to live separately. We can hardly afford to live here together in this cheap little flat as it is because of the cost of living crisis.' 'It's not as weird as you think. Not ideal though,' she confessed in the comment section. Bethany and David met in their first year of university and were in the same halls. But their relationship didn't immediately go to plan, as Bethany became pregnant after knowing each other for just three months. 'Shock, our relationship didn't work out,' she said in her TikTok video. Now, her ex-partner works five to six days a week in management, while she works three days a week as a receptionist. This means that she will mainly do the cooking and cleaning during the week, to give her ex time with their son on his days off. She explained that initially post break-up, they'd tried to do things separately, such as washing and cooking, but it 'didn't work out' as the space they're sharing is so small. She explained: 'Now our set up is very similar to how it would be when we were in a relationship, where I cook and I do a lot more of the housework and he is out at work a lot more hours than I am.' Her partner did sleep on the sofa initially and they considered getting a sofa bed, but decided the money would be better used to save towards her moving out. Giving her followers a tour of her flat, Beth said it has 'no storage' and only one cupboard, containing the boiler. Moving onto the kitchen, she compared it to a 'glorified hallway with cupboards'. 'Every inch of space has been used to store stuff,' she said. In the comments, she admitted it's 'hard' but she doesn't 'know what else to do'. However, she did admit in the comment section that they're no longer having sex. Rushing to the comments, many were left baffled at Bethany and David's living arrangements. They said: 'I'm gonna say it. You can't be friends with an EX, because you either never loved or you are still in love with them'; 'You guys are basically a married couple without realising it.' Bethany admitted she does the majority of the cleaning as David is often at work Others thought it was unfair that Bethany was taking on the majority of the housework, especially since the breakup. One wrote: 'So he's basically got a live in maid sorry you deserve better girl look up the mental load.' A second said: 'I think he should pay you or cover more of the rent for the work you do for him,' while a third added: 'Girl you have been brainwashed.' However, another person praised the former couple as 'Brilliant parents. Total respect to you both.' In another video, Beth shared clips of herself 'cleaning up for the third time that day' before preparing dinner for her son and her ex. After receiving backlash, she clarified in another video that she enjoys the cleaning, and can make money by filming herself doing it on TikTok. Now she's started to look around for a new place to live, and hopes to go back to university in September to study psychology.

Richard Wilson's fantastic King Lear is proof that the BBC should be doing more Shakespeare

According to the actor Jonathan Pryce, you should play Lear while your back can still handle it. Pryce played the octogenarian king when he was a mere 65, and still put his back out staggering onstage with Cordelia in his arms. Drama on 4: King Lear (Radio 4, Sunday) gave us a satisfying reminder that radio drama can reach the places other mediums can't, as the 89-year-old Richard Wilson took on the role – becoming the oldest British actor to do so in the process. When he staggers on with Cordelia in Sunday's concluding part, Wilson's back will be safe. Clive Brill's production, while relatively no-frills, is a treat, as well as being a potential blueprint for BBC radio drama. Wilson is the eye-catching name at the top of the bill, but the undercard isn't too shabby either – Toby Jones as Gloucester, David Tennant as Edmund, Greta Scacchi as Goneril, Tamsin Greig as Regan. Renowned cellist Steven Isserlis adds interstitial howls from his bow, which begin a little overbearing but grow in stature as the play increases in intensity. Among the less starry cast, Trevor Fox's Geordie Fool stands out. However, it is Wilson that this production will be judged on. His Lear is a slow-burn, beginning, as he vaingloriously beseeches his daughters to shower him with sycophancy in return for a share of the kingdom, in a stubbornly low gear. It is a little jarring at first, with Lear sounding mildly peeved rather than furious at Cordelia's refusal to play ball. 'Come not between a dragon and his wrath,' he says, sounding more like a sleepy guard dog lazing in the sun. While it's sensible not to start Lear at too high a pitch – he has some serious emotional mountains to climb later – I was, in those very early scenes, left wanting a bit more p--s and vinegar from Wilson. His stolid, pompous statesman act felt like it was going to be overshadowed by Tennant's duplicitous bastard (in every sense of the word) Edmund. Tennant gave the listener a fairground ride of an opening soliloquy ('Why brand they us / With base? with baseness? bastardy? base, base?') and his slippery chameleon act was matched by an emotionally raw performance from Jones, who reacted to Edgar's invented betrayal with the sort of passion previously missing from Wilson. Perhaps Wilson was to play an anchor role next to the pyrotechnics from his younger castmates. I was, like Lear, too quick to rush judgement and gradually Wilson's haughty, dismissive old king began to take a grip on proceedings. His Lear is a man who has grown used to hearing no dissent, to having his every whim catered to. When things do not go his way, he does not get angry (at first), because he does not need to – he'll still win. At the point Cordelia 'betrays' him, his reaction is not hot anger, but a surprised disappointment followed by a swift execution. He is vain, thin-skinned, completely in love with his own power, and unwilling to brook any kind of dissent or believe the cards will not fall for him. 'Fetch me a better answer,' he says when Regan and Goneril will not meet him. There is, yes, something very Trumpian about this Lear. If there's a sense that Wilson is saving something up for the more explosive events of this weekend's instalment, that's understandable, but it's tricky to truly give a verdict on his Lear before he has wandered the heath and delivered the most memorable lines ('Blow, winds, and crack your cheeks!', 'Howl, howl, howl, howl!', 'I don't believe it!' etc). Yet what a pleasure it is to hear him, age 89, delivering the words that presumably he'd long given up imagining he would. The production is also a salute to the power of the older actor – Matthew Marsh (Kent) is 70, Scacchi is 65, Jones and Greig are 58. Yet that cast is significant for another reason – put this production on in the West End, with the same actors, and you'd be paying more than £100 to sit behind a pillar or peer at them dimly from the upper circle. With theatre pricing becoming increasingly eye-watering, the BBC has a chance to remind everyone (ahead of charter renewal) of its essential place in British culture. With the Corporation's sway and reputation, they could put a star-name Shakespeare on once a month, or even once a week, increasing access beyond those who can justify the exorbitant West End fees. Not only can BBC radio drama save Wilson's back, it can save something that should be coursing through the nation's veins.
