Big Brother 2012: Scott Mason’s bereavement news was that his sister died suddenly
As we reported, on Tuesday, Big Brother housemate Scott Mason briefly left the show’s compound in order to be told about a bereavement within his family.
And today, the Daily Star reports that Scott learned the tragic news that it was his sister who had died suddenly and unexpectedly.
No further details about the tragedy have as yet been made public, however, after spending a short time with members of his family, Scott made the decision to return to the house.
On his return, he told fellow housemate Ashleigh, “It’s a family matter and I don’t want to talk about it.”
It remains to be seen whether Scott will want to attend his sister’s funeral, and if he does, if he will be permitted to continue being a housemate on the Channel 5 show…
When Scott went into the house, he revealed to his fellow housemates that his family weren’t aware that he’s gay, and has since been concerned that he may have caused them some distress and “dishonour” by coming out on national TV.
But of course, his family will no doubt consider that the least of their worries right now after their horribly sad news. Our thoughts are of course with Scott and his family.

Thinking of you Scott, I know its hard but try to enjoy your bb experience, rip to your sister xxx
thinking of you scott you are so strong and brave to enter in to the house after hearing such shocking news make your sister proud of you by being who you want to be and showing your family that it does not change the person they have all known just because your gay i want you to win enen more now go on scott xxx
Unbelievable he has returned to the house after such terrible news. I think the fact he hasn’t told any of the housemates is because he knows they will wonder why he came back after hearing his SISTER had died. I guess being on a reality TV show is more important.
Although its extremly sad news for Scott, I am appauled that he has gone back into the house. How can that come before the death of a member of your family. Uberfookinleavable.
his sister died and he came back to BB? no disrespect to scott but that is unbelieable. why would you come back to the house, its not brave its plain stupid. BB wud be the last thing on my mind, how can u cum back and enjoy the experience knowing your own flesh and blood is dead. its disgusting
God bless Scott & his family at this time. You people making judgement on Scott going back into the house should keep your comments off this condolence page. We all grieve differently & it’s possibly Scott’s way of coping. Instead of making negative comments, be grateful it’s not something you are going through right now.
Adele grow up, it’s not a condolence page, it’s a comment page. Don’t do a Lady Di scenario and act like you know anyone involved. Of course it’s sad that someone has died, some of us are commenting that we find it very strange he has gone back into the house after such terrible news and I would say that would be the majority of opinion anywhere. This is a reality tv programme nothing else. The irony is thet his “real” reality comes second place.
The very fact he has kept quiet and not confided such news to anyone in there is probably because he knows himself how it looks.
P.s you know he won’t be reading any of this , creepy when folk latch on to a tragedy like they are a part of it. Will leave you to your indignant outrage and nano-second of importance.
To be fair to him he’s prob still in complete shock! When my Dad died I was in a total blur and complete state of shock and ended up doing some crazy irrational things! So don’t judge him he’s prob in a daze right now!
Come on guys!! He’s just lost his sister and is obviously not thinking straight. It may be that going back into the house is his way of shutting it out. I can see your points of view, but I don’t think that this is the time or place to judge Scott’s actions. Thoughts with him and his family x
I’m more than happy to send my heartfelt condolences to Scott and his family. Its a shame that Scott hasn’t shown his family the same respect. I agree that bereavment effects people in different ways (I recently lost my Mam) but to go back into The BB House is at best ill advised, but to most people its beyond disrespectful and something that Scott may regret for the rest of his life..
All the people who are commenting on how terrible it is that Luke has gone back in the house have absolutely no clue. None of you know him, or his family. How do you even know he was close to his sister?
None of you have the right to judge someone who you don’t know. Try looking at your own life before you pick on someone else’s. I hope someone unfairly judges all of you that have commented to teach you a lesson.
It’s sooo sad when something like this happens – there are a few comments here that are right, we don’t know what the family dynamics are and we don’t know Scott well enough, he could be just too dazed to think of doing much else —- Thoughts are with him and his family at this distressing time
What the hell is wrong with some people, acting like there is a morality grey area here. His Sister died therefore he should not be back in the BB House. End of.
Hear hear Pete.
Dodo- pity you aren’t like the species- extinct.
It’s none if your business, yours or Pete’s.
Grow up Cat, when you put yourself into The Big Brother house your putting yourself into a situation where everybody is going to have an opinion about you, good or bad. To say it has nothing to do with us would only be the case if Scott had refused to go back in the house to spend this horrible time with his family. I have as much right commenting on what is happening in the BB House as you have of commenting on my post.
can i just say that his sister had clearly not died..
stupid mtv, get your story straight. it’s someone who is close, NOT his sister.
Pete, you know nothing about life. How do you know it’s a horrible time for his family? You don’t even know A: If the story is even true, and B: You have never met Scott or his family. My point is that you are unfair to judge a situation which you clearly know nothing about. Just makes you look like a complete idiot. I will no longer visit this page to read more of your hideous judgements.
Yet you judge me without knowing me? Grow up.
You grow up dodo instead of being nasty. The author asked for messages of condolense not horrible comments
Rather than judging him for recovering from his sisters death so fast everyone is criticising him? ridiculous.
You cant judge his actions until you have been in his shoes and in his exact situation.
You never know because theres a small chance that his mum might have recommended to him and pushed him towards coming back on bigbrother, small chance but its there. He could very well he trying to win the money so he could build a church in his sisters name??
rather than applauding him forrecovering so fast****
my thoughts are with you and your family scott,
i agree, maybe it is his way of dealing with it, and probably not the best idea but either way he has done it, i think we should just leave the situation now..
it may have been a bad choice but it was his, i see both sides of the argument but maybe we should just appreciate he is going through a difficult time right now.
I’m not fame hungry, i wouldn’t go in to the bbh. If i did though, if i was fame hungry i could never go in to the house after the death of my sister. Even if she had really wanted me to do it and do well it just wouldn’t be a choice. I would be grieving so much i couldn’t control my emotions and would feel physically sick. We don’t know all the factors but it makes me feel he is more interested in fame. It’s his sister WTF.
So sorry to hear that Scott, my condolences to you and your family. R.I.P Scott’s sister. Scott has made his desicion to go back in the house it’s very disrespectful to be argueing on the page. He does what he wants and if you can’t respect that, go and moan somewhere else. Scott is going through a tuff time right now, but he obviously feels that it’s the right thing to do and he has thourght about it being a right desicion to go back in the house. Leave it be.

who the hell r u to be the speaker. we all can say what we wish to say……also get his name right…Its scott………….NOT LUKE IDIOT
Well how many sisters has he got coz weren’t his sister one of the family members who nominated this week??? Hardly think his family would take part if that had happened
I would like to pay my respects to Scott and family about the sad news. I think it was very brave of Scott to return to the house after the news. R.I.P to Scott’s sister and well done Scott for carrying on i’m sure she would of wanted that. xxxx
