Transgender Big Brother star Rebekah Shelton has died 'unexpectedly'.

The Brazilian, 32, who changed her name from Rodrigo Lopes after a sex change in 2014, featured on the reality TV show in 2009.

She had previously revealed she turned to prostitution for six months and felt 'isolated'. 

A statement posted from her Twitter account read: 'We're sorry to inform everyone of the sad news that our wonderful and lovely Rebekah died unexpectedly on Wednesday night.

'We ask that you respect the family's privacy at this time.'

ACCOUNT WAS HACKED - THIS WAS A HOAX

I don’t know much about her, but a couple of things cross my mind.

1: if someone was going to hack an account, wouldn’t they pick someone someone a bit more in the public eye to do a death tweet about for more of a shock factor? 

2: She’s transgender. Transgender is a popular subject at the moment with India being on BB and the programme on ITV etc... now would be the time to get a bit of publicity to remind people that you still exist.

Of course I’m speculating, maybe she did get hacked. But put it this way, I would not be surprised one bit to see her making TV appearances on things such as BBBOTS in the coming weeks.

In these days of "fake news" it's understandable for people to be sceptical. However; at the risk of reading too much into it, I got the impression from a later tweet that it wasn't a random attack, and she knew - or at least suspected - who was responsible. 

 

I’m not dead!!!!!! Please stop spreading this news!!!!! My lawyer is already working on this and this person who wants to spoil my happiness is going to pay for it!!!!!
