Katie Hopkins has been allowed to write her column for The Sun inside the House

Tabloid newspaper The Sun is featuring their regular column from Katie Hopkins in tomorrow’s issue – with the column supposedly coming from Katie who is inside the Big Brother House. This means that yet again, a Housemate has been allowed to have time to complete work commitments while in the House. It is unclear however if this will mean Katie has any outside contact.

This has been the case for numerous Housemates in the past couple of series. During Celebrity Big Brother 11, Rylan Clark was allowed to leave the House for a short period to attend a rehearsal for The X Factor tour in a nearby studio. More contact was allowed during Celebrity Big Brother 12 when Mario Falcone was allowed to leave the House to obtain a VISA for filming The Only Way is Essex.

Most recently, Lauren Goodger was allowed to write a column from inside the House during last summer’s edition of Celebrity Big Brother, however Channel 5 denied outside contact.

I'm contacting C5 to see if she's had any outside contact or not...

are you being ****ing serious

:facepalm:

:facepalm: they never learn, do they?

[Samm]

It's inside the house so I don't really care that much

[Heaven = Winner]

:/

[Jake.]

don't even care anymore

[daniel-lewis-1985]

Whats the problem?

I hate it when BB throw the rules out the window but theres no outside contact here and I find it quite interesting to see a column coming out talking about life in the house.

Seriously I don't understand why this is a problem?

For me, this completely defeats the point in putting Katie in there. She's able to let off all steam being a dick to her housemates in the paper meaning she doesn't have to do it to their faces.

[Cal.]

I would like it to become protocol for a housemate to be selected each week to write a column from inside the house anyway for The Sun, could be a cool aspect.

Same

[JoshBB]

Ugh. They're meant to be secluded from the outside world, but as long as there is no outside contact it's not quite so bad I guess.

It's the fact we weren't made aware of it, again, and for all we know she could have met with journalists from outside which completely breaks the most fundamental rule - again.

[armand.kay]

This isn't really her getting information from the outside world is it? It's just basically her writing something that is broadcasted to the nation. Which is basically what happens anyway.

It would actually be quit interesting if housemates were aloud do keep a diary that's published on a blog, the fbook page etc for viewers to read.

[James]

They don't actually write these columns themselves. They talk to (or meet with) a journalist who writes the article. So that is outside contact.

So they break the rule.. Great.

What?

It's literally a few paragraphs.

Its just a column not a novel.

She will write it then it will get polished by the editors im guessing.

Do you really think a team of people will be drafted in to the house to help her?

[daniel-lewis-1985]

It's the fact we weren't made aware of it, again, and for all we know she could have met with journalists from outside which completely breaks the most fundamental rule - again.

But we are aware of it as its being published in the UK's biggest selling newspaper.

Do you mean you want it in the highlights?


"Katie is writing her column in the diary room".

No, but it would be good if Channel 5 acknowledged the fact she is writing it and lets us know somewhere be it on Twitter or the website.

So the show is picking up more publicity from this yet most of you still moan? I dont understand

Wouldn't hurt.

[jackc1806]

I think front page of the sun justifies it.

Not an exclusively C5 problem too, BB10 started it off imo

[Jay.]

I don't really care either, it's just a show, it won't alter the comedy/entertainment value at all for me.

[Mokka]

The problem I see is she is given an extra forum to sway the public in her favour that the other housemates are not given. This is an issue when the public are the ones with the say on who stays and who goes. I wouldn't be an issue in the american style BB.

It would only be ok/fair if all the housemates were given the same opportunity

[Denver]

People need to understand that the old BB has died and wont ever be back you just got to move on with it

[James]

Again, that is generally not how these celebrity columns get written. Celebs don't sit down at word processors and type out articles. Usually the celebrity will just have a chat with a journalist once a week and the journalist will write up the article.

There have even been cases where a celebrity has given his / her name to a column he/she didn't have anything to do with.

[Sam:)]

It's the fact we weren't made aware of it, again, and for all we know she could have met with journalists from outside which completely breaks the most fundamental rule - again.

Well considering the show some what relys on newspapers it would be unfair for them to basically advertise the sun for free. It could piss off the star and they'd stop writing BB articles for example (Even though that would be a positive thing)

[Niamh.]

For me, this completely defeats the point in putting Katie in there. She's able to let off all steam being a dick to her housemates in the paper meaning she doesn't have to do it to their faces.

Exactly. Alot of us were saying before she went in that she's **** in person and that she's only able to carry on her brutally honest, vile bitch act when she can hide behind her computer screen etc and that she (as Josy so eloquently put it) "folds like a deck chair" if she ever has to take someone on face to face and what do BB do? Tell her she's allowed to be normal with people face to face and give her her column and the Diary Room as her substitute twitter, it's a joke

[Niamh.]

The problem I see is she is given an extra forum to sway the public in her favour that the other housemates are not given. This is an issue when the public are the ones with the say on who stays and who goes. I wouldn't be an issue in the american style BB.

Excellent point Mokka

[Amy Jade]

Since she is not leaving the house I am fine with it, she has to retain her contracted job after all. I don't really understand why people are angry either to be quite honest - if it is inside the house she can't get any info because she will be watched.

Yeah I agree with this, it's not really fair for her exclusively to have the opportunity to air her side of whatever is happening in the house

[joeysteele]

Nothing surprises me as to what this woman gets away with and it seems BB always goes that extra mile for some of the most obnoxious of people to get them in the house.

I love the statement that she is 'in the house with a bunch of loons,obsessed with themselves'.
The only loon I see, as near to the word and its meaning, is Katie herself and she is the one more obsessed with herself and especially her own rotten, prejudiced opinions.

[Amy Jade]

Perez has almost 6 million followers on Twitter, he could influence the vote too. Loose Women will talk about Nadia so there are a few million viewers who could be influenced to vote for her.

True but in their cases their supporters will only be able to use the same information as the rest of us, Katie will be able to claim a much greater level of insider knowledge and present herself as being much more in the know

People with opinions don't actually need to get into someones face to put their point of view over. That is tantamount to inciting confrontation which never ends up in a good way. Perez spends his life shouting from behind a comp screen yet we never hear of him being a coward do we.

If your opinions are generalizing large groups of society and telling them that they're all lazy or ugly or fat or that people with certain names are undesirable etc etc then I absolutely think you should be challenged. Free speech is fine as long as hateful stuff that you say is allowed to be challenged.

As for Perez, I don't know loads about him, I know he's got some sort of celeb gossip website or something? and as far as I can see of him so far and his interactions with his HMs he seems to be staying true to form and trying to get some gossip from them, I don't see the similarities tbqh :shrug:

[Beso]

Her columns a load of pish in a pish paper anyway..let her get on with it, makes us have to watch and listen to it's ramblings less.

[sampvt]

I don't think she is actually writing her column from within because these scripts need to be proof read and altered etc etc before they go to print. She is probably just throwing thoughts out there and allowing these thoughts to be polished into a finished article which is fine as long as she is kept away from outsider contact.
