BB housemates 'may be told about Jackson'

Davina McCall has said that she is unsure if the Big Brother housemates should be told about the death of Michael Jackson.

The host wrote on her Twitter page that she would ask show bosses if the contestants would be informed about the passing of the pop superstar.

McCall said: "I'm going to ask today if the housemates are going to be told about MJ.

"I'm not sure they should be told. No contact with the outside world... it's a tricky one x."

In the past, new housemates have been warned by Big Brother against informing contestants about what is going on in the outside world.
