Birth first for Dutch Big Brother

The Dutch version of the reality TV show Big Brother has broken new ground broadcasting
a contestant giving birth. Baby Joscelyn Savanna's birth was shown on Tuesday evening,
eight hours after it took place, by agreement between the show's producers and the authorities.

The cameras focused mostly on the face of the mother, Tanja, but also showed the midwife
assisting the birth.

Tanja, 27, one of nine contestants left on the show, was seven months' pregnant when she
entered the house in August 2005.

The contestants, whose last names are not given, must stay in the house until they are either
voted off the programme in a viewers' poll or win the 400,000-euro (£270,600) prize.

Big Brother was created in the Netherlands six years ago and has since been marketed in
dozens of countries throughout the world.

Tanja, who comes from the northern town of Groningen, says she became pregnant by accident.

She gave birth in a special room in the Big Brother house, according to strict ground rules set by
the Dutch Social Affairs Ministry.

"We are very proud of you," said fellow contestant Dido when Tanja rejoined the others afterwards.

The filming of the baby is restricted to just a few hours between now and the end of the show on
22 December.

She will stay in a room where cameras are not allowed, and where her mother and other relatives
can visit her privately.
