Significant world events that took place during a BBUK?
 

The 7/7 attacks and the Grenfell fires are the only ones I can think of tbh...

The Swine Flu Took place during BB10

Didn't Michael Jackson die ,during one of them,I am sure BB told them,unless I dreamt it.

MJ’s death took place during BB10 as well, though Federico BB4 leaked it to the house...

Brexit and the 2012 Olympics for starters

I won’t consider those two as significant events because they were pre-planned...

we voted to leave the EU during BB17

So were the 7/7 attacks if you want to split hairs

No like “publicly” pre-planned...

welp

Nnn

The 7/7 attacks are the most prominent, they talked about it in BBLB and how they would tell hms if any were effected

Messs remember the Trump reveal on BBOTT :skull:

I think I remember someone lobbing a tennis ball over the garden fence so Shabnam could read out the lyrics to Misery Business

Colonel Gaddafi was killed during BB12, I believe following the Libyan backlash against Heaven being evicted over Aden

"Once a whore you're nothing more"

that could have just been a coincidence with Carole in the house.

Rihanna released Umbrella in 2007, causing extreme rainfall and flooding and sparking the biggest national debate of all time:
