A video from Big Brother is going viral today, with people accusing the show of being scripted.
In the video, taken from a live feed on UK channel Five Star, the housemates can be seen going to bed and saying goodnight to each other as the lights go out. But soon after, the lights come back on, and Big Brother can be heard briefing the housemates on plans for the next day. It was posted by an unofficial Twitter account called Big Brother Xtra.
Take a look.
FAKE, Channel 5 just exposed how fake it's become with a script recording ending of CBB! #CBB pic.twitter.com/UQlLurWeiC

Awkward..
Former Big Brother contestant Chris Wright came to the show's defence tweeting,
RE: The clip going round which appears to suggest Big Brother is scripted. We did similar on our last night. It's a tiny bit of staging 1/2

Something nice for the final episode, purely staged because it's impossible getting all housemates to go to bed at the same time. 2/2 #CBB

Remember, it's the very last thing you see. Not giving my opinion on whether it should or shouldn't be done, but it effects nothing. #CBB

But fans of the program were still shocked to see the clip. The final takes place tonight on TV3 from 9pm.
