They usually do that dont they??
It wouldnt be enough for me though, I would have to be near and definately not on BB

I'm sure he's asked to be kept notified but to be fair she could slip away completely very quickly (my OH's nan was in a coma from the same thing as Charlie's mum and she passed away suddenly and there was nothing they could do).

I'm in agreement with you on this one, I just couldn't not be there, whether she knew I was there or not.

Maybe it's what his mum would have wanted him to do, and noone saying he shouldn't be on BB, well I'm certainly not.

I'm just saying I couldn't personally do it.

Ohh so you know unfortunately how quickly things can happen then sorry to hear about that
Im a huge BB fan and if i got the call and was told your in the house but it was at a time when my mum was really ill and admitted to hospital or if she was already in hospital and had been for some time i would decline any offer to go in.

I agree with you there its purely what I would do

Charlie is a fake and everything he does lately there seems to be an agenda behind it,fair enough its a shame about his mum but every1 has there own sob stories but dont feel the need to keep mentioning it,remember when he got a bb wish ! if he was so concered about his mum why did he choose to have a big mac meal instead of a letter from home!

If you watch his so called 'back stabbing' anything he says abut people, he tells them about. he needs to share knowledge to achieve a consensus. He needs to estblish a common Weltanschauung (world view) before he can process knowledge himself. He can't operate in a world with secrets or competing perspectives because he doesn't know what to believe.

ADHD does not turn you into a backstabber or **** stirrer. I think yiou are making up pathetic excuses for his vile behaviour.

[alchemists1]

The adhd excuse is just that another excuse,some people try to justify all the shiet stirring and nasty things he does when he is just plain fake.

What if his mother wakes up......

Mother: " Where's Charlie?"
Nurse: "His in the BB house partying it up!"
Mother: "WTF, I'm gunna kill him!!!!!!"

[Speedy]

David just said to Lisa "I want Charlie to win, its the principle."

[cookiemonster]

i don't think any of you can comment, imagine how hard it must be for him. i'm not putting the sympathy card on him as i wouldn't choose him to win but have some bloody empathy.

[DiamondDogTags]

Sob stories on TV are awful, so many on BGT, X-factor, AI.. Every year they seem to get more and more depressing. I think sometimes it is geniune, others it's a ploy for the sympathy vote but I think it does some harm because noone deserves to win on sympathy and it ends up turning a lot of people off.

He's in there singing and dancing, playing pranks on people, sunbathing and having a laugh. It certainly doesn't look like it's been hard on him.

I'm sorry but this makes me sick. His MUM is in a coma, she's non responsive to her son!! How do you think that makes him feel?

How do you expect him to react? Moping around EVERY day that she's in a coma, constantly reminding himself he can't joke, laugh, smile, have fun... because his mum back home is in a vegetative state.

Whether you like the HM or not (I don't), have some compassion at least, this is the sort of thing that can destroy someones emotions. I'm not saying want him to win, or vote to keep him in, but certainly don't underestimate the effect something like this could have on someone.

No amount of money is going to suddenly bring Charlie's Mum out of a coma. He is using the pity card to win the money and the fame for himself. He does NOT need money for her care, the NHS will be doing it for free. Every one of the contestants will have had some sort of personal tragedy in their life to cope with, some maybe even worse than his ... but they choose dignity, honesty and confidentiality over the need for Ł100,000.
Charlie is always saying things like 'I always see the good in people' or 'I've got a heart of gold I have'. How on Earth can anyone be objective when describing themselves?? Most of us wouldn't have the cheek to show off like that.
And let us not forget the bullying of Freddie that he and Kris did, or the splashing of Angel or the tittle tattling and spreading of gossip that he is good at.
Maybe he should also stop and think of all the people that may have actually lost one parent in childhood, or become orphaned.
I don't buy his constant self-praise.
Get him out.

My mum has died 11 years ago, but if she was in a coma i ouldn't leave her side for more than a day!!! I ould certantly not go into a game that could take up to 3 month!!!

No. It's a technical way of saying he has a disorder.

What, so you expect people who have ill mothers NOT to go onto a reality TV show? Cos if they did, and the story came out (which it will, because it takes up a large part of your life so invariably you're bound to mention it in the house) - you'd be going for the "pity" card.

No, his mum being in a coma and him being on Big Brother are two independent things. He's never once suggested they're one and the same.

You're not Charlie. Everyone is different. If you were willing to sit in your house for 2 years beside someone bed-ridden then okay - but obviously he isn't - it doesn't make you more of a person or he less.

[The_Long_Run]

A red-top tabloid tells us she is ' a coma'. Why does everyone believe this crap.

People talk about her being 'unresponsive'. This is NOT true and she encouraged him to follow his long held dream of being in the BB House. He loves his mother with all his heart and is immensely proud of her, as is she of him. She will be watching from hospital and they have agreed that it will be good for her to have the opportunity to watch her beloved sun fulfilling his dream.

He comes across as 'too good to be true' with his gentleness and peacemaker role, trying to make everone get on. He is trying to be good to make his mum proud of him, nothing to do with winning MONEY!

Get real you set of heartless cynical ghouls, who would eather watch a "train wreck" in BB than a harmonious house. Thank God Charlie is protected from seeing this crapola whilst he is in the house.

[28thapril]

If he was that bothered he shoud've stayed at home with her

Did he think out of 22 people he could win by telling them about his mum I don't think so it's a game and they all want the money and some need it more than most
