A friend of Danny Beard from Celebrity Big Brother believes that JoJo Siwa, another finalist, may have betrayed him with her critical nomination selection.
Tension has been building between Danny and JoJo on the show after she used a ‘killer nomination’ to put the Drag Queen, 32, up for eviction.
Danny Beard, a star from Liverpool who became victorious in RuPaul’s Drag Race UK, is vying for a place in the final against JoJo Siwa, Chris (32), Donna Preston (38), and Jack P. Shepherd (37).
And earlier this week, JoJo was given the power to make a ‘killer nomination’ after being nominated herself and decided to pick Danny.Â
But now Danny’s pal Billy Andrew has revealed to the Mirror what he truly thought about the situation as he claimed he thinks JoJo is playing a game.
Billy told the publication:Â ‘Dan knows it’s a game and I think JoJo’s playing that game well. I think she sees Danny as competition.
A close acquaintance of Celebrity Big Brother’s Danny Beard shares suspicions that JoJo Siwa may have turned against him with her strategic nomination.

‘He’s a very funny queer person and JoJo’s also queer, so I think JoJo could potentially be in it to win it and trying to throw Danny under the bus.’Â
During Monday’s episode, JoJo chose Danny to take her place on the eviction list but they were later saved by the public vote.
Explaining her choice, JoJo said she picked Danny because of their humour.Â
She said: ‘I know it’s silly and in good fun, and you’re always just joking, but sometimes it’s not the time or place. That kind of humour can be hard.’
His pal’s confession comes after JoJo and Donna branded Danny ‘toxic’ during a chaotic task on Sunday’s episode.
For the task, the ITV house was transformed into a family home with the housemates all being given a specific role to play.Â
Donna and JoJo took on the role of grandparents while Jack and Danny were parents to ‘teenagers’ Patsy, Chesney and Angellica and ‘toddlers’ Chris and Ella.
To bag the luxury shopping task, housemates had to prove they were one big happy family by taking part in various generational tasks throughout the day.Â

However during the task, tensions were quick to rise as Dance Moms star JoJo, 21, and comedian Donna, 38, branded Rupaul’s Drag Race star Danny as ‘toxic’.Â
While speaking to Big Brother, the duo reflected on how the family unit was functioning, taking a cheeky swipe at Danny.
Big Brother asked: ‘Grandparents, how are things in the house?’
To which Donna replied: ‘Bloody chaotic if you ask me, love. The little ones are little s***s.’
While JoJo added: ‘They are menaces. They throw s***, they’re grumpy, they’re screaming.’
‘It’s just the way they’ve been brought up. It’s her – Danny,’ Donna joked.
JoJo agreed, saying: ‘It’s for sure Danny. She is a monster.’

With Donna quipping: ‘Toxic,’ in a lighthearted jibe.
Jack and Danny were also called into the bedroom and had to learn and perform a viral dance video which ‘screamed main character energy’.Â
The video will be posted to Big Brother’s social media account for viewers to decide if it’s a ‘slay’ or ‘flop’.
Meanwhile, Chris and Ella took some time out in daycare to give Danny and Jack a well-earned breather from their raucous behaviour.
