Big Brother voting lines to raise money for three charities

Big Brother voting lines will raise money for three charities in the Channel 4 show's final series.

One of the good causes to benefit from the eviction lines is Jo's Cervical Cancer Trust - which aims to raise awareness of the disease which claimed the life of former Big Brother housemate Jade Goody last year.

The other charities selected for Big Brother 11 are Kith and Kids, which provides support to people who have learning disabilities or autism and their families, and After Adoption, which supports children and families both before and after the adoption process.

Calls to the vote line will cost 50p (from a BT landline*) with 15p from each call equally divided between these charities.

THE last Big Brother will pay a final tribute to Jade Goody.

Cash from eviction vote lines will go to a charity offering support to women with cervical cancer.

BB3 fave Jade died from the illness last year, aged just 27.

Last night her friend and former spokesman Max Clifford, 67, said: “What greater tribute to Jade than this?

“She was Big Brother’s biggest star and it’s fitting that the show which made her a superstar should now do this.

“When she was diagnosed with cervical cancer she worked tirelessly to get the message out to other women to get screened.

“Jade’s campaign has already helped save hundreds of women.

“And she would be enormously thrilled by the news that Big Brother is now helping her campaign. The more money raised, the more lives that can be saved. This is tremendous.”

Last summer fans slammed Channel 4 for not giving any proceeds to charity.

But BB 11 will donate 15p from every phone vote to three causes. First is Jo’s Cervical Cancer Trust.

The others are After Adoption which helps people who have discovered they are *adopted and Kith and Kids for youngsters with learning disabilities and autism.

It should go to Live Feed so we don't have to pay for LF online.
