Big Brother viewers were moved last night as housemate Frankie made an emotional confession on the show, revealing he is bisexual. The 23-year-old from London had decided to join the ITV reality show as a way to come out publicly for the first time. During his first morning in the house, Frankie shared with his fellow housemates that he had struggled to sleep the night before, saying he went to bed on "a really big low." On Tuesday night’s episode, Frankie chose to open up in the Diary Room, where contestants can speak privately about their experiences. He admitted he had woken up feeling "a little bit upset" and explained that he needed to share his feelings because he had been carrying "guilt and shame" for about a year and a half to two years. He said he felt he had let people down and expressed worry about how his revelation might be received outside the house. "Some people might not want to be friends anymore," he said, adding that he feared some might avoid him, which he described as "a little bit sad." When asked what made him feel ready to take this step, Frankie said he felt "comfortable" in the Big Brother environment, which helped him feel safe enough to share his truth. His heartfelt confession was shared on the show’s social media accounts, sparking an outpouring of support from celebrities and viewers. Freddie Fraser, a former contestant from The Traitors who also recently came out as bisexual, praised Frankie on Instagram, saying, "Big up you Frankie boy." Other supporters included Nathan Henry from Geordie Shore, who wrote, "The nation is so proud of you Frankie," and Kate Lawler, the first woman to win Big Brother, who commented, "I feel for Frankie." Frankie’s emotional moment was described by the Diary Room producer as someone "lifting a huge weight off their shoulders." Fans and former housemates alike expressed hope that those Frankie feels he has let down will support him moving forward. Big Brother continues on ITV2 at 9pm.
