For those of you that were watching the Big Brother 7 launch show on Thursday night, you were bound to have noticed, as I did, that some of the housemates appeared to know each other already. Very strange for a bunch of people who were supposed to have never seen each other before.

It seems that John Plunkett, of The Guardian also noticed this strange occurence.

He reported

First up, Shahbaz, an “unemployed cross dresser” from Glasgow, recognised yoga-made Brummie Dawn. “Oh my god,” cried Shahbaz. “Come here you, what’s going on?” That’s what I thought.

Then Welsh lifeguard Glyn recognised Dawn, Lisa recognised Shahbaz (keep up) and Nikki, whose dream is to marry a Premiership footballer, get her hair and nails done and go out for lunch, recognised Grace. “We both worked together,” explained dance teacher Grace.

John has approached Channel 4 asking for an explanation. Hopefully they will be able to shed some light on the matter.
