Going into Big Brother most contestants realise they have to sacrifice their privacy, but Stuart has to deal with the fact his mother has watched him have sex.

What is only a nightmare for most of us has become a reality for the long-haired student, but he will be believed to hear his mother has forgiven him.

"I am disappointed in Stuart and Michelle's behaviour," Stu's mum told The Sun newspaper.

But fortunately she is not pointing the blame solely on his shoulders.

"Fuelled with alcohol, they were unable to resist temptation. Sadly someone made the decision to broadcast it.

"I feel saddened but love Stuart and will stand by him always. I will also support Michelle and look forward to meeting her."

This may well happen sooner than later as the odds of Michelle staying in the house are dropping by the minute.

While in the past contestants have been kept in the house by viewers anxious to see if they will succumb to "temptation" with a consenting partner (Paul from Big Brother 2 being the most obvious example), it appears actually doing the deed (as most now believe Stu and Michelle have) seems to have had the opposite effect on the viewing public.

Yesterday morning the odds of Jason being evicted on Friday were a best price of 4/11, but these have now increased to 4/9. At the same time Michelle's odds have shortened to 15/8 from 2/1.
