Big Brother: Strange - but true!

Police rescue VIP, HM to be circumcised - along with 100 viewers

Just when you think you’ve seen it all in Big Brother, things somehow always manage to get stranger.

We begin in Poland, which is currently in the final week of it’s first Celebrity Big Brother, Big Brother VIP. In a genuine world first, the fifth Polish series will begin during the finale of the celebrity version, with two housemates for the regular series having already moved in. The VIP celebs will decide during the finale which one gets to stay to be a part of the main series.

However, the interesting thing here is Sasha. Yesterday, she requested to leave the Big Brother house, making her the third person to want to quit this year. Producers refused - so today her dad turned up at the house - with the police, forcing producers to release Sasha from the grasps of Big Brother. Watch it here.

… but that’s nothing compared to what’s happening in the Pinoy Big Brother house later this week…

Now, this is one for fans of the annual Uncut / Cut debate which always crops up in the housemates forum. Alex Anselmuccio, 18, is the only male in the Teen Big Brother house in the Philippines not to have been circumcised - so the producers have kindly offered to get someone in to do the job for him - and on Wednesday he’ll be circumcised in the house.

Hang on though - it gets even stranger:

If you’ve not been circumcised and would like the job done, viewers can pop down to the Pinoy Big Brother house on Wednesday and have it done for free - on national TV.
