Ok, the link to Big Brother is very tentative, but such a huge coincidence that I thought it worth a mention.

Tonight at 9pm on Channel 4 there's a documentary called "The Girl Who Became Three Boys"

http://www.channel4.com/programmes/t...es-1/episode-1

Twenty-one-year-old Gemma Barker from Staines is currently serving 30 months in prison for fraud and sexual assault. Over the course of several months Gemma invented and impersonated three different boys, 'Aaron', 'Luke' and 'Connor' and under these three separate guises went on to seduce two teenage girls.

This film tells the extraordinary and chilling story through the personal accounts of Gemma's victims.

Aaron, Luke and Connor each had their own Facebook page, email address and mobile phone number, and through emotional manipulation, both as their friend Gemma and as the three 'boys', Gemma was able to create a complex set of identities and relationships in order to get close to 18-year-olds Jessica Sayers and 'Alice', who speak frankly about their experiences.

The Girl Who Became Three Boys also explores Gemma Barker's possible motivations for her bizarre, criminal behaviour. This is a story of deception, abuse and the damaging consequences of misusing modern social networking on the lives of two innocent teenage girls.


What were the odds that the three names she chose would be those of four current housemates, including one who has transgender issues.

I think I'll watch it just to see if any of her three alter-egos shared any characteristics with their namesake housemate.


Well I thought it was interesting.

[pugamo]

Oh yeah that's quite cool. That should be a good show

[Enidan]

That's uncanny, strange coincidence.

[Dorkus_]

Gemma, too, couldn't spell their names right. ....

[AndrewPd]

One of life's many eerie coincidences....

[enchantedmoon]

LOL - so did I!!

[scousesiren]

Can't believe there's also a girl named Ashleigh involved in this story, also!!

[RealDipStick]

When they said she used the name Connor McCormack, I thought that was Conor's (the housemate) surname, then checked and found it's McIntyre. For a minute I thought I was in an episode of The X Files.

How very strange!
