Big Brother’s Frankie Taber came out as bisexual to housemate Samuel Keen in last night’s episode, following a heated exchange in the hot tub with Catrin Richards.
Frankie confided in Sam after abruptly leaving the hot tub and going inside, upset by Catrin’s suggestion that he had been looking at fellow housemate Rochelle Rackman’s feet.
“No, because my girlfriend’s watching. Don’t say things like that,” the 23-year-old marketing manager responded, describing Catrin’s comment as “misinformation”.

Sam followed Frankie inside, where Frankie explained that he was worried about what his girlfriend might think when watching.
Later, in the bedroom, Frankie came out as bisexual to Sam. “There’s a lot that she’s going through already on the outside,” he said of his girlfriend.
Frankie added that he wanted nothing to do with Catrin’s comment, explaining that the situation would have de-escalated much more quickly if she had simply said she was joking.
Frankie came out as bisexual in episode two of Big Brother while speaking in the Diary Room. “I’ve come on this show to come out, ’cause I’m bisexual and, like, I’ve been in pain for so long now, probably about a year and a half, two years.”
Frankie comes out to housemates
Frankie has so far come out to fellow housemates Yasmin, Catrin, Lynx and now Sam. All of them responded positively and showed their support.
Earlier in the series, Frankie told viewers that he had come out to his girlfriend of “four or five years” before entering the house.
Frankie said his girlfriend had been supportive of his journey. “My girlfriend was very good about it,” he explained. “We do have a very, very strong bond.”
Big Brother continues tonight at 9pm on ITV2 and ITVX.
