she's been in a coma for 6 years, he can't put his life on hold for that long, you have to have fun as well.

They said six months....

I remember the year my beloved mother was diagnosed with terminal cancer ..... I didn't even dare book a 2 week holiday for fear I wouldn't be there for her.

Maybe just my opinion .... but I'm shocked he could even think about being locked away without contact with the outside world for a potential 3 months.

Sorry don't agree.

He still has to live life, and yesterday was the first time I had heard of this so glad it's not been a sob story.

I heard 6 months too.

Im sure if anything drastic happened, Charlie would be informed and given the opportunity to leave if he wished.

Sorry I'm a bit slow with this response ... but I've only just learnt this news about Charlies mum.

I've been saying this for weeks, whilst I am sympthetic to Charlie's mother's illness, I detest the way he is using it to emotionally blackmail the HM for never wanting to nom him, and for emotionally blackmailing us the viewers.

from what I could understand, she HAD been in coma for 6 months, when she came out of it she can't speak, eat or recognise anyone. She is now in a nursing home (where she will be receiving 24 hour care)
Charlie's dad said the nurses had seen a glimmer of something (didn't catch what) and that they were going to be taking her for therapy.

Does anyone know what caused the coma to happen?
I have been in a week long coma, caused by a head injury (long time ago)so I'm wondering what caused Charlie's mums coma.

i agree 100% no sob stories should ever be revealed on reality TV, because they do sway opinions in their favour.

As a Mum I know where I would prefer my son to be if he had the chance.
Compare how he took his message from home with Bea. Unless we weren't shown enough of his reaction I say Charli controlled his emotions very well.

Me too .............if his mother is in a coma there is very little that he can do .............I'm sure being in the house has given his family a real boost. When there is illness in the family it can become all encompassing and you all become introspective ......i think he's done the right thing.

and i dont think he's going for the sympathy vote .........i'm sure he'd rather have his mother well .......it's obvious that he's gonna talk about it though. they all speak of their family dont they?

I wouldn't want any of my kids putting their life on hold, if it happened to me.

I also wouldn't want them 'mentioning' how the prize money would help with my therapy, almost every night!

I cannot stand Charlie.....but I dont think he can put his life on hold just in case,and it's probably given his dad a bit of a boost to see his lad on TV.And as someone said ^^^ he'd be informed if her condition deteriorated.

I agree Senora, the last three ex housemates before Freddie mentioned it. We've heard it a few times, we all know his mums been in a coma and it's very tragic, but I wouldn't vote for Charlie becuase of it.

I would be furious with my kids if they put their life on hold because i was in a coma. i dont agree with Charlie using this to get sympathy tho, which i think he does

whilst i agree with you to a degree he has been using it in the house to great effect (ever wondered why evictees say charlie deserves to win?) and now as its getting closer to the finalits getting more publicity, looks like a gameplan to me.

I was shocked to learn it was 6 months as the press said 2 years

My nerves would be shot to pieces wondering what was going on with my mum

I understand he has his life to live,but its such a short time i would be really worried incase i wasnt there if anything went wrong,or to assist in any way.

Its been 6months and Charlie speaks about this lots on live feed, saying he would use the money to help her,

I agree with you, there is no way in hell I would be in a BB house if my Mother was in a coma. Not that I think people should hold it against him, to me is shows he is NOT the caring person he tries very badly to portray. Wish his Mother well it must be a tough family situation

Well I've had a close family member in a coma and I can honestly say I would'nt take a weekend away let alone 3 months but I suppose I'm different....

I'd understand it more, if his mum had been in a coma or persistent vegetative state for ages - life has to go on. But only six months? Anything could have happened in the time he's been away

... while he auditioned for BB, went through the selection process, got taken away into hiding and then into the house

ooooh!
its a difficult one this is
all i can say is that everyone is different and their reactions are different
maybe his family actively encouraged him to go on BB to have a bit of time away?
dunno if i could do it
but im not him

I have no problem with him going in, life should go on as much as possible and I suspect he saw this as a unique opportunity.

As for saying he'll use the money to help his money, what utter bollocks. When Gary Linikers kid had leukemia not unsurprisingly he said what could he do as he was happy to use all his money to get whatever help he could. The doctors told him there wasn't anything he could do as the NHS was quite genuinely the place he'd get the best treatment. I suspect that would be the same if you were in a coma.

I'm sure his mother would want him to fulfil his ambitions and not be sat at her bedside 24/7...

I thought that about Richard when his mom was going through chemotherapy. There is nothing more grueling than controlled poison/chemo treatment. But Richard's mom knew he chose to leave her. that's rough.
