Celebrity Big Brother featured a jaw dropping moment on Wednesday night’s episode as Daley Thompson told his housemates a story about his run in with a young David Beckham. He made his revelation during a game of Never Have I Ever where the housemates were challenged to make some shocking confessions.
CBBC star Angellica Bell kicked things off, asking: “Have you ever been rude to a fan?” Without hesitation, Daley put his hand up, and told a story that left his co-stars open mouthed.
He shared: “Back in the day when I was training at Crystal Palace, I was pole vaulting – head down, totally focused. This kid comes up to me asking for an autograph. I said, ‘no not now, I’m really busy’. He tells me his school’s only there for an hour and I just told him no again. He walks off.”
It was what came next that left the house in total shock. Daley continued: “A few years later, I meet the kid again and he says to me, ‘you told me to f*** off’. I said, ‘yeah, not sure I did’… It was David Beckham.”
After a few moments of silence Coronation Street star Jack P Shepherd couldn’t hold back, and called the story “brilliant”. Chesney Hawkes chimed in adding: “That’s a good one.”
Daley admitted he isn’t totally sure if he actually swore at the future football icon – but fans still went wild for the unlikely crossover. Elsewhere in the house, a heated exchange unfolded between EastEnders‘ Patsy Palmer and The Only Way Is Essex star Ella Rae Wise. The drama kicked off when Danny Beard, winner of RuPaul’s Drag Race UK season four, asked if anyone had ever “hooked up with a really famous person”.
Wise confessed that a married celebrity had been sliding into her DMs, which didn’t sit well with Patsy who advised her against sharing such stories, especially about married individuals. She expressed her distaste to Hawkes, saying: “I hate that kind of thing. It brings it low. Like we’re not scum of the earth.”
Overhearing Palmer’s comments, Wise questioned why everyone was so serious, adding: “Pats made me feel really bad about saying that. But I didn’t reply to the DM. I didn’t reply to the DM.”
Patsy responded by advising Ella to be cautious, as she might regret her actions later on. She said: “I think it’s sometimes good to flag up ’cause everyone gets carried away. But you do have to be protective of yourself ’cause you might regret it in the morning. You know how things can go and it’s not nice.”
Ella clarified that the message was sent before the unnamed celebrity got hitched. Thursday night’s episode also saw the housemates nominate one another again.
It comes just two days after chat show legend Trisha Goddard became the second celebrity to be voted out by the public. So far, Sir Michael Fabricant has been evicted. Elsewhere, Hollywood legend Mickey Rourke was also booted out of the show by Big Brother.
Celebrity Big Brother airs at 9pm on ITV1 and ITVX.
