Danny Beard is set to have a heart-to-heart with Daley Thompson on Thursday's Celebrity Big Brother amid their fears over the nominations.
The upcoming episode will see the housemates nominate for the very first time ahead of the very first eviction on Friday night.
And it appears that the Drag Race star is apprehensive about the vote and turns to the former Olympian for comfort.
Sitting at the dining table, Danny admits he's nervous about the vote, with Daley quick to offer his reassurance.
He tells the TV personality: 'It’s not something that you can do or change.'
To which Danny says: 'It’s not but it would feel s**t if you thought the whole house didn’t like you.'

Daley then adds: 'But that’s not going to be true. They only know a little bit of you and also I suspect everybody really struggled. There is no chance it’s you.'
The Drag performer then makes an admission to the sportsman, remarking: 'Thanks Daley. I really appreciate you, you know. I’m going to be honest when I first came in I thought he’s going to hate me.'
Daley asks 'Why? I am so not that', to which Danny responds: 'It was my own thing. Maybe I shouldn’t have said that to you there.'
Reassuring Danny that this isn't the case, Daley shares: 'Danny don’t you worry. I’ll even be coming to one of your shows. I promise.'
With an emotional Danny adding: 'You’ll make me cry.'
Earlier in the day, Big Brother gathered the housemates to inform them that they would need to nominate, as well as the results of the 'game-changing powers' that had been bestowed upon the group during the launch show.
In a major twist, this series has begun with three housemates being gifted with special powers to influence the first eviction.
Chris Hughes, JoJo Siwa and Mickey Rourke were chosen by Big Brother to head inside the prize room where they each received their powers.

While Mickey received Guardian Angel power, which allows him to save someone from eviction, Chris was granted immunity from the vote and JoJo was given the killer nomination power.
And Big Brother later revealed that Chris Hughes and Daley Thompson had been granted immunity from the first vote, while Mickey was definitely facing it thanks to JoJo's killer vote.
Mickey responded: 'Shall I pack now?' to which Big Brother responded: 'Relax Mickey, stay where you are.'
Meanwhile, Mickey has continued to cause chaos in the Celebrity Big Brother house with a fresh rule break after he sparked furore with the homophobic comments he made towards JoJo Siwa.
On Wednesday, fans of the ITV show demanded 'vile' Mickey, 72, be removed from the house after he branded lesbian dancer JoJo, 21, a 'f*g' before going on to insult other female housemates in a 'misogynistic' tirade.
Now in a move set to cause fresh upset to his housemates, Mickey has broken the rules by refusing to put forward his nominations for the first eviction.
In scenes that will air on Thursday's show, the housemates were called to the Diary Room individually to announce their first nominations of the season ahead of Friday's live eviction.
Yet Mickey - who already faces the public vote after being given a 'killer nomination' from JoJo - refused to name the two housemates he wanted to put up.
Speaking to Big Brother, he insisted: 'I choose not to evict anyone. I refuse to do that. I will not pick two people to toss off the shelf.'
Independent watchdog Ofcom has come under pressure to intervene with the ITV show after Mickey was issued a formal warning from Big Brother.
Viewers claimed show bosses should have gone a step further and removed him from the house - calling on Ofcom to immediately step in.
When Ofcom receives complaints it is assessed under the Broadcasting Code to see if it needs further investigation.
Taking to X/Twitter, fans raged: 'Ofcom complaint submitted. Mickey Rourke should be out of that house. Violence against women and girls is not a laughing matter, dinosaurs who believe they can turn homosexual women straight with rape belong in the stone ages & deserve no platform in today’s world. #CBBUK';
'sorry a warning isn’t enough. telling a 21 year old he’ll tie her up? she won’t be gay anymore? all the language he used? he’s disgusting and should be removed straight away. #CBBUK #CBB'; '

JoJo's partner Kath Ebbs branded Rourke a 'pig' and a 'dangerous person' following his outrageous homophobic slurs
'this is??? insane?? can we not normalise this behaviour and pass it off as a ‘social experiment’ it’s so damaging to women and girls - so yes he should be removed from the show. by not removing him it’s passing off his comments as though they’re ok lol'.
Meanwhile, JoJo's partner Kath Ebbs branded Mickey a 'pig' and a 'dangerous person'.
Kath, who identifies as non-binary and uses she/they pronouns, shared her outrage on Instagram following the episode and demanded Mickey is booted out of the show.
While she praised and thanked Chris for 'backing' her partner, she shared her outrage that he was the 'only person' in the house that was aired to pull Mickey up on his behaviour.
Celebrity Big Brother continues on Thursday at 9pm on ITV1 and ITVX.
