Former Celebrity Big Brother star reveals the not-so-glamorous parts of going into the house – as she reveals strict psych test which saw a nepo baby flown home 

Former Celebrity Big Brother star Danielle Marr has revealed the no-so-glamorous aspects of entering the house. 

The Irish TV personality, 48, an aesthetics doctor known as Dr Botox, was a housemate on the 12th series of the Channel 5 edition, with host Emma Willis, back in 2013.

She was joined in the house by the likes of Geordie Shore’s Charlotte Crosby, Louis Spence and model Sophie Anderton. 

Two days before the stars enter the house, they go into lockdown to try and avoid their names being released – as bosses aim to keep the cast a secret. 

But Danielle said lockdown was very intense, and the living conditions were basic at best – describing one toilet as a Portacabin.

She recalled in her new book Diary of a Botox Bitch: Spilling the Tea on All Things Reality Television: ‘I hadn’t been alone, not even to use the bathroom, for three straight days.’

Danielle revealed that with the live launch show on Thursday, she was put into isolation on the Tuesday. 

her phone was immediately taken away and she was officially cut off, besides one final call allowed after check in. 

The H๏τel was basic, she said, but the entrance certainly wasn’t – as she revealed she had a towel draped over her head by security as she was hurried inside. 

‘It was all very high-stakes and dramatic,’ she said as she recalled the security guards and producers communicating about her entering over walkie talkies, using code names to keep idenтιтies as secret as possible. 

She cabin fever set in quickly at the H๏τel, where she had no access to a phone, TV, or even discussions with H๏τel staff. 

But breaking up the isolation were press interviews, pH๏τoshoots and filming. 

Next was a psychiatric evaluation, which Danielle revealed was so strict that the daughter of an American star was sent home before launch night after failing it. 

Finally it was launch night and she was bundled into a car and taken to Ibis H๏τel near Elstree Studios, of which she said: ‘The en suite bathroom was like a portacabin toilet, and the room itself wasn’t much better.’

The showbiz vibe kicked in and at 10pm she made her entrance, thankfully to no boos. 

The confession comes after Mickey Rourke was removed from the ITV edition of the show.

The Hollywood star, 72, was asked to leave due to ‘threatening and aggressive behaviour’ directed toward Chris Hughes during a task yet to air, dubbed the ‘final straw’ for producers.  

The final outburst came after Chris threw him the ‘side eye during the task’, which saw the housemates dressed up as pirates, The Sun has reported. 

It came after Mickey’s homophobic comments to JoJo Siwa and offending other members of the house. 

Mickey was thrown out of the Celebrity Big Brother house on Saturday after a bust-up with Love Island’s Chris – who allegedly gave the star ‘side eye’ during a task. 

The actor and former professional boxer has been difficult to manage from the beginning when he leered inappropriately at host AJ Odudu as he entered the house.

Things soon escalated as Mickey made homophobic comments towards JoJo Siwa, 21, before going on to offend Donna Preston, Ella Rae Wise and Patsy Palmer with rude conversations. 

On Saturday, he was asked to leave due to ‘threatening and aggressive behaviour’ directed toward Chris during a task yet to air, dubbed the ‘final straw’ for producers.

The final outburst came after Chris threw him the ‘side eye during the task’, which saw the housemates dressed up as pirates, The Sun has reported. 

Mickey then ‘went for the star and the situation unravelled’. A source told the publication: ‘Mickey didn’t like Chris disrespecting him with the side eye and went for him with loads of smack talk.

‘On this occasion it was offensive, threatening and aggressive. However it didn’t get physical and security nor producers did not need to intervene.

‘Mickey was called to the diary room and in discussion about his ongoing bad behaviour, he agreed to leave.’ 

There was no physical altercation but a spokesperson for the show said: ‘Mickey Rourke has agreed to leave the Celebrity Big Brother House this evening following a discussion with Big Brother regarding further use of inappropriate language and instances of unacceptable behaviour.’
