I can reveal the media star – who is Daniel Curtis away from the stage – has been added to ITV’s line-up for the star-studded series.
They’re already known to viewers of the reality show having spent time on the panel of spin-off Late and Live.
A source said: “Danny is hilarious and witty yet also great to be around. They’re going to make a great housemate for viewers and the other celebs alike.”
Danny will enter the spy house next month alongside other big names including Daley Thompson, Jack P Shepherd and Angelica Bell.
Since appearing on BGT in 2016 and Drag Race in 2022, Danny has forged a comedy career and took part in Channel 4’s Comedy Roast.
A spokesperson for Celebrity Big Brother said, “Any names suggested for Celebrity Big Brother are speculation.”
Danny is an old hand at TV these days but is keen to use the CBB platform to become a household name.
In an interview with Gay Times they said: “I would love to work in TV.
“I would love to host television, I’d love my show eventually. I’d like to crack TV presenting and I think I can do it.
“It’s always been a dream, so let’s see if we can do it.”
In another interview with the Mirror, they added: “The thing is people don’t know is yes, I won Drag Race but prior to that I’ve been in the entertainment industry for 10 years and hosted things for 10 years.
“I’ve presented on Gaydio for a long period of time, I’ve presented my own TV show on BBC Three – I’m not a novice with no idea how to speak down a microphone.”
