AMSTERDAM (Reuters) - Dutch authorities are investigating plans by the producers of the "Big Brother" reality television show to include a pregnant contestant who will give birth on the show.



Talpa, the new television station launched earlier this month by the billionaire creator of Big Brother John de Mol, will broadcast a new series from Sunday in which a contestant is due to give birth six weeks into the show.

A spokeswoman for the social affairs and labor ministry confirmed a report in De Telegraaf daily on Saturday that inspectors were examining a request by Big Brother producers for the newborn baby to be allowed to appear on the program.

"I think that my child will be proud of it later," she told De Telegraaf.

NPR this morning said they may not be able to do this because of child labor laws. The soon-to-be-born child would need a waiver from the government to work at such an early age.
