No World Cup pointers for Big Brother housemates

Contestants in the new series of Big Brother will not be given any clues as to England's fortunes in the World Cup.

They will not even be informed if England make it to the final.

Producers Endemol say the housemates' isolation from the outside world will once again be complete.

Big Brother 3 is due to start on Channel 4 later this month.

The World Cup kicks off in South Korea and Japan on May 31, with the final in Yokohama on June 30.

Maybe all the housemates will be Scottish, Welsh, or football haters!
