Big Brother’s Scott leaves house temporarily after bereavement

Big Brother’s Scott Mason was granted leave from the house after the death of somebody important in his life.

Channel 5 has not specified whether the bereavement relates to a relative or friend of the 20-year-old for privacy reasons.

However, the History student has returned to the house after only a short time outside of the Elstree complex.

So far in the house, Scott has confessed his infatuation with fellow housemate Arron Lowe, having previously outlined his intention to find a long-term boyfriend.

Scott, who has said that he is obsessed with the upper classes, hopes to become a ‘celebrity historian’ after he leaves the series.

Big Brother continues tonight at 10pm on Channel 5.
