Celebrity Big Brother has found itself facing accusations of fakery after seemingly 'scripted' scenes aired during live feed.

In the last section of tonight's live from the house on 5Star at midnight, housemates were seen settling into bed shortly after an ad break.

The lights then went out and Big Brother announced: "This is Big Brother, finalists, goodnight."

The housemates were then shown apparently asleep with their eyes closed.

But rather than really heading to bed, seconds later the lights went up again, the housemates hopped out of bed as Ricky Norwood remarked: "Great take guys, great take."

Big Brother was then heard giving the housemates more instructions in an unusually casual way.

"So housemates, just listen to Big Brother again and err, Big Brother will just say to you that tomorrow is a really, really big day for all for you," the voice said. "It's going to start quite early and end very late at night.

"So what Big Brother would suggest is you all wash your teeth, wash, wash, washing your bodies... and then call it a night."

Those viewers that stayed up to watch the live feed to the end after most of it was filled with silence were left stunned, including ourselves.

You can read some of the reactions on Twitter below and watch the full clip as well, while it stays online.

UPDATE: Channel 5 have released the following statement:

“Footage shown on the live feed involved Big Brother alerting housemates of a long final day ahead. The show is entirely authentic and the housemates are not scripted.”

Before then they were also shown being told to walk out of the Diary Room individually after their final group Diary Room session. I can imagine that it's standard practice to do this for the final highlights, but it doesn't make it any less shocking.
