Sorry if this has been brought up already and passed through the pages of time. But i was wondering if Scott did go to his sisters (I think sisters) funeral as we appear to have seen him, at some stage, on every nights HLs shows?

It's none of our business imo.

Well if you can't respect someone's right to privacy over something as personal as that, then what do you have respect for? Certainly you've got to draw the line somewhere, don't you agree?

If he wanted privacy he should have went home. People are bound to be curious.

Ic so people's curiosity trumps the right to privacy? really?

You need to chill out because OP asked a very valid question and his question was not disrespectful. He did not ask WHY Scott remained in the house after his sister died, he asked if he attended her funeral - a question ALMOST everyone would ask.


OP, I did have the same questions as you because the only time I'd heard Scott mention his sister was when he talked about their role-playing games with Caroline and the fight with Becky.

I even started doubting if his sister had passed away because he's handling himself like nothing happened and there's only one article that claimed it was his sister.

Thank you Sarakass. I was just wondering if Scott had left the house to attend the relatives funeral. I had no intention of criticizing Scott if he did or didn't as that would be a personal matter for him. But as BB fans (viewers) we are entitled to enquire (wonder) about HMs, I would have thought that part of the BB experience for HMs is a warts and all for viewers to share.

He must not have been close to his sister. I am sure most housemates would leave the house if their sibling has passed away.

who are you to judge anyone's response to something that personal? It's none of your business and has nothing to do with the TV show Big Brother.

That's you laying the law down I'm afraid. And your presumption that anyone with a different point of view to you on this is staggering. I lost my stepdad and grandmother (who more or less raised me) within 2 months of each other so I know a lot about personal loss. As can be seen by the posts here people have differing views on it and that's what makes this a discussion not a dictatorship.

I'm not a mod, so i cannot lay down any law. I'm glad you shared yur personal experience, cause i don't like being the only one. I just said that i think people should not have to be judged on national TV for how they react. I didn't attack or "shut down" anyone bro. I'm sorry for your loss, and i'm gladd you didn't have to suffer any of the scrutiny that Scott is facing here.

i know you posted this in disagreement to me, but i think we agree. We both know that dealing with death in the family should not be subjected to judgment on TV.

I don;'t think i truly dealt with my mom's death emotionally til atleast a year after she was gone. The idea that you should be in pieces and destroyed right after is ridiculous to me.

[Redway]

..We're all judges of morality here and whilst I don't think it's right that people are judged based on what they do it's totally called for as people are supposed to be judging him based on his character and what he does. I understand what lostalex is saying but you have to allow for different points of view.

I agree with you up to a point mate. Whatever's happened, for him to carry on living his life on national television then speculation and questions are to be expected. How coud they not. How can you ask people to respect your privacy when your laying yourself bare to the world.

Beastie i love your sig. She is beautiful

[fruit_cake]

He got very upset with Becky when she mentioned his sister, some might say his anger with Becky came straight out of the blue. It did suggest he's grieving for her.

[Gillian-73]

We don't even know if it was his sister, other than the daily star i don't think anybody else reported it was! Last year Tom went to his grandfather's funeral but from the highlights we wouldn't have known.

[Mrluvaluva]

He could have been. It does not have to necessarily be mentioned on the highlights show.

[Jords]

I think BB are keeping things about Scott and his loss close. And rightly so

[mkbb]

Are you sure it is his sister? He said the other day to Becky I think when she said he was a nasty person something along the lines of "you wouldnt want to meet my sister then thas how we talk to each other all the time. Its a joke". If she had died would he really say that.

[Redway]

I understand the death of one of his family members was always going to cause controversy but it's not for us to decide what's appropriate for him to do. It's a personal matter and it's up to him to choose how to deal with it.

He could have more than one sister

[joeysteele]

I agree with Lostalex and Redway, it is none of our business. It's a very private matter and I also agree as to the comment made above when Scott retorted to Becky about his Sister, clearly it is a sensitive subject.
I just hope, if he needs it that BB are giving him any support behind the scenes that he may need.

[MTVN]

Yeah I don't see much point in speculating
