Contrary to the yearly rumours and endless speculation about housemates being swapped to other overseas editions, Michael has confirmed this afternoon that this can't happen because they were not required to bring passports with them.

Michael and Jamie were discussing what the "World First" could be at the barbeque while cooking lunch. Jamie raised the prospect of going over to the UK or similar, but Michael said that this could not happen. He explained he had tried to test the producers by asking them whether he needed to bring his passport with him. The producers told him not to worry about that.

This contradicts an earlier report we posted suggesting that all housemates were required to make sure they had valid passports before entering the house.
