Both Noirin and Isaak have both mention this in their interview.
Is charlie donating the winning to a gay burns ward?
What is his "good cause"?
Sounds a little like Craig from bb1

[loomy]

I think it's his mum who's in a coma and he hopes it will help her. He hasn't milked it though.

[Daffodil]

I think it is something to do with his Mum ... has she a disease or something?.. it's something along those lines anyway.

[amy-jayne]

His mums in a coma i think, and the money will help

[DrunkerThanMoses]

Oh crap... looks liek this seals the coffin for him winning now!

[Daffodil]

I don't wish to sound heartless, but I don't think people should play the pity card to win BB.

[Daffodil]

No amount of money will bring anyone out of a coma.

He hasn't, obviously or people would know about it

Freddies support has mostly come out of pity anyways

[ShelleySkruFayce]

Charlie has only mentioned it a couple of times.. so it's not like he's playing the pity card is it?

I aint a fan of his, and to be honest I dont see how the money could help his comatose mother..

But he is not playing the pity card.

How comes everyone knows about it then?

[hennessy]

I didn't realise his mum was in a come.
I don't see how the money will help but at least he's not flashing it around.
(although it was enough for Isaak to step down supposedly)

He mentioned it on lf some time last week. That's about 6 weeks in and the first time we all heard about it. That's not what I call playing the pity card

In the same conversation Marcus was talking about how he doesn't have a family to support him

[Daffodil]

Yes Isaac mentioned something along the lines of something that Charlie had said.
Again, apologies, but this reeks of emotional blackmail.

Knows about what? The speculation and rumour? We 'know' nothing more than that.

[DiamondDogTags]

I didn't know that about his mum. I'm more interested on what Freddie would do with the money? Kenneth promised it to charity as well.

[Showstopper]

The money would help as the hospital bills for someone in a coma is huge.

She still has to be cared for and monitored by doctors and specialists. Plus of she does come out of a coma she will probably need substantial medical care

Probably use it to start his own business. He wouldn't do anything noble wit him - he's not rich independent of his parents

It was in the redtop newspapers before and just as the series started. His mum is in a coma, I thought most knew.

As BB don't seem to have shown this on the HLs hopefully they don't want the pity card to influence voters either...

[Daffodil]

I think contestants should be made to be 100% discreet with their potential winnings. It directly 'influences' the public vote and is unfair .. and will lead to more and more woeful tales coming out. Lets nip it in the bud now. Time for honesty.

[xmynxiex]

If charlies mum iS in a coma then why an earth is he on BB? surely you would want to be there for your mum? what if she woke up? the guys unbelieveable. If my mum was in a coma i would want to spend as much time as i could with her. And not be on a reality tv show.

good point, you're probably right. Try and prove he can make it on his own kind of thing.

They say it will take nearly 3 years before any signs of recovery.

[Caramel77]

Agreed Daffodil, I've always found the sob stories that come out in the singing competitions tedious to the extreme. So hopefully they won't start it here.
