They might be reality TV royalty, but even fame doesn’t make you a bingo winner!
Celebrity guests David Potts (Celebrity Big Brother), Nicola McLean (Celebrity Big Brother), Tayce (RuPaul’s Drag Race UK), Brendan Sheerin (Coach Trip) and Marc Almond aka CookingwithTubz (Tiktok) enjoyed a night of glitz, glamour, and bingo balls at WhichBingo’s inaugural Celebrity Party.
Despite missing out on prizes like fish flip-flops and onion goggles, all the celebrities were instant bingo converts.
“Honestly this has been the best night ever. I have not laughed so much in ages,” Nicola McLean said.
Reality TV Royalty
The guest list was a who’s who of reality TV royalty.
“I’ve had a marvellous time, absolutely fantastic, the bingo has been brilliant,” Brendan Sheerin said.
Held at London’s iconic Dabbers Bingo, the air buzzed with energy, but it wasn’t just the promise of a full house; it was the sheer, chaotic joy of stars letting loose and embracing their inner bingo dabber.
Nicola McLean beamed, declaring that all the celebrities had hit it off and joked about doing their own coach trip.
But it was David Potts, the ever-vibrant star of Celebrity Big Brother, who summed up the collective mood perfectly, shouting, “I’m having the best time ever!”
“We’re all vibing, we love it!”
From musical hits to some truly questionable prizes, the night unfolded like a perfectly called game—full of twists, turns, and unexpected delights.
As the night kicked off, the celebs were ready for action.
Bingo hostess Sheila Simmonds, a fan favourite from Britain’s Got Talent, presided over the chaos with her signature wit. The atmosphere was a whirlwind of dancing, shouting, and musical bingo, with its high-octane hits like Britney Spears’ “Toxic”.
WATCH: highlights from the night
The Full House Fiasco
The night’s most unforgettable moment belonged to Tayce, the stunning runner-up from RuPaul’s Drag Race UK. With the tension at a fever pitch on the cusp of a full house, Tayce leaped to her feet, screaming, “BINGO!” The room erupted in cheers, but a quick check of her card revealed the fatal error: she had a line, but not a full house.
It was a perfectly theatrical mix-up that had everyone in stitches and served as a hilarious reminder of a timeless truth: bingo, in its beautiful, impartial way, has no favourites.
A Moo-Off?
The third game of bingo had an incredible four-way tie of winners, so had to be settled with a “moo-off”.
The four potential victors each had to moo for as long as they could – with the eventual winner holding their moo for an unbelievable 12.44 seconds.
The Winners
As the evening wound down, no celebrity walked away with a prize, proving that luck is the ultimate equaliser. But the real winner of the night was dabber Sharon, who was celebrating an even bigger victory: being in the all-clear after a battle with illness.
Her win was a touching and poignant end to a night that proved bingo is about more than just numbers; it’s about community, laughter, and celebrating life’s victories, big and small. It was a night of pure, unscripted joy.
And if David Potts is to be believed, he’s already planning his return
“Tomorrow night I’m coming back”
After all, once you get the bug, you’re hooked.
