CELEBRITY Big Brother’s Frankie Grande has bent Big Brother rules by secretly presenting an American fashion show from the diary room.
The 33-year-old star, who stars on Amazon’s Style Code Live, has been given preferential treatment by bosses and has been presenting segments for the web based show while he's meant to be locked away in the Channel 5 compound with no contact with the outside world.
In the first of Frankie’s segments, filmed just after he arrived in the CBB house, the social media star rates his housemates style.
“‘Hey guys, It’s Frankie! Have you missed me? I've definitely missed you guys,” he introduced the video to co-hosts Lyndsey Rodrigues and Rachel Smith.
Frankie added: “I’ve been noticing a lot of fashion trends we’ve been talking about on Style Guide in the house,” before dissecting their fashion choices."
Amazon’s Style Code Live is a daily, live, show where styles enthusiasts can connect, chat, shop and get the inside scoop on the latest trends.
Talking about Frankie’s Style Guide clips, an inside source at the show revealed that despite the clever edit – he has no communication with anyone outside of the house.
