Noirin has learned of Michael Jackson's death through her task with BB4’s Federico this afternoon.

As the pair prepared for their gymkhana task in the garden, Federico did an impression of the King of Pop.

"Who’s this?" he asked before Noirin guessed correctly. "Did you hear about him? He passed away, he had a cardiac arrest."

"Don’t tell me that," said a confused Noirin, who didn’t question the news and continued to wait for the task to start.

As she set off for her course attempt, he shouted "Michael Jackson’s dead!" to affirm the news.

Once the task was over, Noirin told housemates that she had learned of something important from the outside world, setting off wild speculation between the group. Charlie suggested that the Queen had died or that Katie Price and Peter Andre were back together.

After confirming with Big Brother that she could spread the news, she announced: "For me this is a really big deal because I loved his music, but Michael Jackson has died."

A shocked Siavash said: "Are you s**ting us?", while the others said that he was a "great artist" and "brilliant dancer".

Rodrigo added that the news ruined his day and angrily told Noirin that "now we will just think about this".

Lisa added that Federico shouldn’t have told the house about the news.
