WATCH: CBB viewers expose staged sleep scene

Celebrity Big Brother has been subject of controversy recently and now eagled eyed viewers of the live stream have called out the show for being ‘staged’.

In the live stream episode aired on 5Star, viewers watched on as housemates appeared to be going to bed as Big Brother said ‘goodnight housemates’.

However, the lights suddenly turned on with EastEnders star Ricky Norwood shouting ‘great take guys’, (See 1 minute 20 seconds in the video) before Big Brother’s voice emerged telling them what was going to happen next.

Watch the footage below:

Of course fans of the show were left in complete shock at the scene, wondering why the celebs were pretending to be in bed and why Big Brother chose to air the moment.

Viewers took to Twitter to express their shock.

After the scene aired, a spokesperson from Channel 5 defended the show saying “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”.

The series is set to end tonight (Friday 26th August) as Stephen Bear, Marnie Simpson, Frankie Grande, Ricky Norwood, Aubrey O’Day and Renee Graziano all fight to be crowded champion.
