Big Brother star Sam Pepper OUTRAGES Twitter by ‘murdering’ a man’s best friend as a prank

YouTube star and ex-Big Brother contestant Sam Pepper has set Twitter alight by posting a video of his friend Colby Brock getting ‘murdered’ as a prank – and all in front of Colby’s best friend, Sam Golbach.

Sam Pepper staged the kidnapping of his two mates – also YouTubers – by a masked man before having Colby get ‘shot’ on camera in front of his best mate Sam Golbach – but it turned out Colby was in on the set-up the whole time.

Luckily no-one got hurt in the making of the video, but viewers can see Golbach crying hysterically as he hears the gun go off and thinks his friend has just been killed:

As he’s tied to a chair at the time, there’s nothing he can do as the masked man steps up next to a hooded Colby and presses the gun to his temple, before pulling the trigger.

The masked man then walks out of frame, leaving the ‘dead’ Colby lying on the floor and Sam Golbach sobbing in fear and grief.

A minute later, Colby sits up and explains to Sam it was all just a prank, though it takes a while for Sam to calm down and believe it was fake.

But people on Twitter are Not Happy about Sam Pepper’s elaborate set-up and have been tweeting their disgust with his decision to put the video on his YouTube channel.

Sam Pepper has yet to publicly justify the video, but he did retweet a message from Sam Golbach that said he’s “honestly not mad” at Pepper.

It’s not the first time the 2014 Big Brother housemate has come under fire – last October he was accused of sexually harassing women after using a fake hand to grope them for another of his YouTube videos.
