Donna Preston issued a warning to co-star Danny Beard on Celebrity Big Brother in tonight’s episode. It came amid the latest task on the ITV show which saw the housemates dress up in cat costumes in the hope of receiving a reward.
The housemates were given nine lives as part of the task and losing any would risk forfeiting the prize. Big Brother managed to get two of them to lose a life each in the Diary Room by offering them the chance to open a mystery box.
RuPaul’s Drag Race UK winner Danny and Coronation Street star Jack P. Shepherd both opted to open the box, whilst comedian Donna chose not to. Once opened, a message inside the box read: “Curiosity killed the cat.”
Danny expressed disappointment over losing a life for the house in that way after opening the box. They then asked Big Brother if they could give a co-star a fictional task to avoid questions over why he had been in the Diary Room.
They decided to prank Donna by telling her that Big Brother wanted her to spend 45 minutes on all fours amid the group being tasked with spending the day as cats. After leaving the Diary Room, Danny teased: “You’re not gonna like this. They’ve asked me to pick one housemate to get on all fours for 45 minutes.”
They indicated towards Donna, who then agreed to do it. It was later stated on the reality TV show that she ended up spending more than 20 minutes crawling around. She was seen fulfilling the request in the garden at times.
Suspecting that something was up, she however teased to Danny at one point: “If you are pulling my leg, you need to sleep with one eye open, I’m telling ya.” Donna later discovered that her housemate had been “winding her up”.
Shortly before admitting that they had made up the task, Danny asked Donna: “What would you do if I was just winding you up?” She responded: “Are you joking? Are you winding me up?” Her co-star then confirmed that they were.
In the scene, Danny also apologised to Donna and told her: “Love you.” Addressing the trick that was played on her, Donna said that it was “unbelievable,” before later further sharing her thoughts with Big Brother in the Diary Room.
Speaking about the experience, Donna told Big Brother: “Danny said that you had set him a challenge to ask another housemate to be on all fours for 45 minutes and he chose me.” She added that “to be fair” she agreed to it, teasing: “To be fair, I said I don’t mind it cause I do it on a Friday night.”
Asked if she had believed her co-star, Donna said that she had trusted them. She said: “I did believe Danny. I don’t think I’ve got any reason not to believe Danny. But now I do.”
Despite losing some lives, the housemates were later told that they had won the task. Big Brother teased that they would be given a karaoke party as a reward.
Celebrity Big Brother continues on Sunday night from 10pm on ITV, ITVX, STV and STV Player. Late & Live will then air from 11pm on ITV2 and ITVX that night.
