housemates may be told about MJ death.

Davina McCall has said that she is unsure if the Big Brother housemates should be told about the death of Michael Jackson.

The host wrote on her Twitter page that she would ask show bosses if the contestants would be informed about the passing of the pop superstar.

McCall said: "I'm going to ask today if the housemates are going to be told about MJ.

"I'm not sure they should be told. No contact with the outside world... it's a tricky one x."

In the past, new housemates have been warned by Big Brother against informing contestants about what is going on in the outside world.

I am not sure it relevant. And if they change the rules to announce MJ's death .... it will open the floodgates in the future for any other celebrity death. Rules are rules. Don't think they should change for this, major news though it is.

i agree, it's major news but they shouldn't be told

don't think they were told of the terrorist attacks a few years ago (?)

But and it's a big but it could be taken either way. Because Angel is slightly odd they could think she was piss taking.

It's just my view of things though.

But everyone watching will KNOW she has just come out of the house and doesn't know. :sad:

I think they should be told.

They shouldn't be told.BBrule-no outside contact with the outside world.
It's not as if they can do anything about it.
Plus,if new housemates go in who do know,it will put a lot of pressure on them not to tell those in the house.
Cynical hey?

They should not be told imo. It may cause distress and upset for people in there.
