Sam and Ava from last year weren't kept away until they entered the house. They knew about stuff before entering with Sonia asking their opinions on housemates before they even entered. I think I recall Sam saying he didn't know much as he usually worked at the time the show was on, and Ava kept listening to the crowd for answers, for whatever reason if I remember right and not saying much.
The only intruders who have known zilch about things before entering were the ones from the 2002 series (Kieran and Brodie) as they had them away in another house together with no contact to outside world before entering. Oh and then the series that had Demet, as she had to live in a white room before entering the house.
So if Tully is still in there, they would be aware of what has been happening with her girlfriend, etc unless they tuned out of it. Intruders are told not to tell the housemates any outside info but a few have slipped up at times over the years.
Thanks for clarifying Poona - i didn't watch a lot last year as I missed the beginning and just couldn't connect with anyone in there when I tried to catch up.
