‘Big Brother UK’ Contestant Frankie Taber Comes Out as Bisexual in Emotional Diary Room Moment | Just Jared

A contestant on the current season of Big Brother UK has come out on the show.

Frankie Taber, a 23-year-old marketing manager from London, had an emotional moment in the diary room where he opened up about being bisexual.

“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 half, two years,” he revealed on the show, via Digital Spy. “I mean just the guilt and the shame that I’m carrying from it, and I don’t know, I just feel like I’ve let down a lot of people.”

He then started crying, and Big Brother said, “Frankie, Big Brother doesn’t think you’ve let anyone down.”

The Big Brother UK social accounts shared a photo from Frankie‘s diary room moment, and the comments were flooded with support for him.

“Huge credit to him for doing this, brave to do it on national tv too,” one person wrote on Instagram, while another said, “I do not know him, but I am so proud of him. It takes a lot of courage to be yourself in a world where that isn’t always accepted.”

One person on Instagram appears to be a member of Frankie‘s family, Tamzin Taber, and she said, “So proud of my cousin,” along with a red heart emoji.

While Big Brother in the US is getting closer to the end, Big Brother UK just premiered earlier this week. The UK version airs on ITV2 and ITVX.
