Fans call Big Brother “fake” after live feed reveals show is scripted

Outraged fans have taken to social media in hordes after a live feed from the Big Brother house seemed to indicate the reality show is scripted.

In scenes that were broadcast on 5* and clipped by fans for online, the remaining housemates all say goodnight to one another and head off to sleep. Or so we think. A few minutes later, the lights come back on, the celebrities get out of bed, and Big Brother promises to feed them adequately tomorrow.

Actor Ricky Norwood, who formerly appeared in EastEnders, even goes so far as to congratulate the group on a “great take” as the lights go back on.

Although Big Brother has always denied the show is scripted, the Celebrity version has never provided 24/7 feeds of what was happening in the house.

Naturally, fans were quick to complain on Twitter about the revelations, with some suspicious fans feeling vindicated and others feeling that the experience of watching has now been ruined.

Channel 5 has not yet responded to these new claims that the series is scripted.
