Eye opening: BB housemates pass blind task set in honour of visually impaired Mikey

On Sunday, Big Brother set the group a task called Blind Leading the Blind, in honour of visually impaired housemate Mikey. 

Kathreya, Rachel and Jennifer take part in the task

The group divided into pairs for the challenge, which required one member of each pairing to be blindfolded, while their partner helped them adapt to life in the house without vision.   

Then after three hours, housemates swapped places.   

Mikey had a separate role as the director of the task.   

The 33-year-old Scot was responsible for selecting which housemates would be paired together, grouping Kat with Mohamed, Luke with Darnell, Mario with Rebecca, Lisa with Stuart, Rachel with Dale and Rex with Jen.

Rex audibly groaned upon hearing his partner's name.   

And after winning a token for their successful efforts, the group admitted the mission had taught them a great deal about their fellow housemate Mikey and his disability.

"You can hear everything," Rebecca said.

"It's really weird."

Stuart claimed he found it hard to adjust to his surroundings, adding "everything seems huge" when blindfolded.

Lisa pondered how Mikey manages to live his daily life, crossing roads or walking down busy streets.   

"I'd have to have someone constantly there," the 40-year-old said.

"They'd have to be dead caring."  

"You just need to have your wits about you," explained Mikey.  

"How would you have a relationship?" asked Lisa.

"It affects everything."
