BREAKING: Big Brother’s Scott Mason makes suicide threat

Big Brother 2012 housemate Scott Mason has made a suicidal threat today whilst talking about a relative’s health.

The 20 year old said that his elderly grandmother is his “best friend” and he admitted if he discovers she has died he will kill himself.

Scott told his fellow housemates “She had better still be alive. If she’s died, then I’ll commit suicide.

“I’d want to though. She’s like my best friend.”

Producers immediately called a review on Scott’s mental health and called in a psychiatrist.

A spokesperson said: “Channel 5 takes its duty of care towards all housemates very seriously.

“We are satisfied Scott can continue on the show.”

Big Brother continues tonight on Channel 5.
