Kate Lawler opens up about taking extended maternity leave after feeling ‘terribly guilty’

Adele was one of the original housemates and RAPPED in her audition tape saying why she deserved a place. Bold move. She was popular with her fellow housemates but sadly not with the voting public and was booted out with 62% of the vote on day 43. Still, what a stint.

A bone fide Big Brother success story, Adele is a DJ on Radio 1's Early Breakfast Show. We don't envy her the 4am starts though. Ouch. In November 2019, Adele became an I'm A Celebrity...Get Me Out Of Here! campmate.

When Alex entered the house, it was our strongly held belief that we was the fittest housemate EVER. It was a more innocent time. He came third with 27% of the vote.

Alex remains an enthusiastic Big Brother fan and recently appeared on Big Brother's Bit on the Side. He is still very hot.

Alison was one of the biggest personalities in the Big Brother house but her card was marked with Alex and Jonny when she admitted she peed in the shower. Bafflingly, she came in 11th place.

Alison certainly had the last laugh - she's been a regular on This Morning since 2003.

Jade's time in the house was remarkable for her constant references to her "kebab", her inability to hold her booze, and her relentless good humour.

Jade was a hugely popular TV personality when she left the house, but fell from grace following a controversial appearance on Celebrity Big Brother. She died in her sleep due to cervical cancer in March 2009.

Kate was the first female winner of Big Brother. Go, Kate!

Kate is now a DJ working on Virgin Radio in the afternoon slot (other cough Bauer cough radio stations are available).

Lee spent 18 days in the house. We don't remember a single moment of it.

These days Lee's looking hubba hubba HOT and appears to be spending a lot of time in the gym or at the football. Which is a pretty sweet life.

Lynne was the first person to be evicted from the Big Brother house. It's got to be someone of course, but ouch.

Lynne now appears to have a business selling her own art, and she has an AWESOME pack of pet dogs.

PJ's time in the house was made special by an oral sex act he received from Jade. He later denied it happened despite us all seeing it on the telly.

PJ is now a solicitor and lover of Brum.

We rather liked stylish Sandy, However, he decided the Big Brother experience was not for him and left by scaling a wall on day 20 after urinating in a bin.

This is the last known sighting of Sandy.

Sophie entered the house on day ten and fell for Lee although they didn't get together until they'd left the house. The two married and had a son together.

Sophie and Lee split ten months after their son was born and Sophie appears to have stayed out of the limelight.

Spencer came in ninth place. And that's about all we can recall of his time in the house. Soz, Spencer.

Spencer appeared in Celebrity Four Weddings in 2010. We haven't heard anything of him since.

Sunita was one of the original housemates but walked on day seven saying that Big Brother "was not her party".

Sunita returned to her old job and now works as a barrister,

Tim and his, ahem, natural brunette locks entered the house as a replacement for Sandy. He will forever be remembered for trying to secretly shave his chest hair.

Tim appears to have returned to South Africa and has a fancy job at a design company. He still references Big Brother in his company bio.
