Big Brother

Vicky Pattison is no stranger to reality TV, and she's had many wild antics herself on Geordie Shore, but now the reigning Queen of the jungle is weighing in on Stephanie Davis' "nightmare" on CBB.

Speaking to the MailOnline, Vicky said that she's been "cringing" watching Stephanie in the house this month, and her appearance on the reality show might not have been the best career move.

As we all know, the 22-year-old went into the CBB house with a boyfriend of a year, Sam Reece, but her flirty behaviour with Jeremy McConnell has landed her in hot water, not only with the other contestants, but with viewers too.

"Stephanie must be getting a really hard time at the minute, and I don't want to be the person that jumps on the bandwagon, I have to be truthful and I have to be honest. She's having a nightmare!" Vicky said.

Ms Pattison pointed out that Stephanie went on the show for the same reasons that Vicky went on I'm A Celeb

"She obviously went in there to try and turn things around like I did, we got drunk at work and did this, and did that, stuff I can completely sympathise with but she's gone out of the frying pan and into the fire.

"She's done the worst thing! People hate cheats, it's not even just that, she's argued with everyone, called people names. I love someone who's got an opinion but it feels like she's having them all. 

"I cringe for her when she comes on the telly, because I just think what injustice are you going to do yourself today? I think she's a very fragile, confused young girl," she adds.

Just as the whole Scotty T and Megan McKenna romance (was it a romance?!) was heating up, Megan got booted off the show and left poor Scotty to fend for himself.

But, he didn't have to be lonely in the Big Brother house for very long as the reality star has already kissed Tiffany Pollard.

Tiffany made a beeline for the Geordie Shore star, and in all honesty, he did little to push her away.

In a sneak peek clip, Tiff and Scotty are seen leaning in for a snog while sitting in the CBB garden, drinking and smoking a cigarette. 

Tiffany then tells Scotty, "You are a good kisser, you know that right?"

We're sure he knows, Tiff. 

And, that's not even the best bit. After their smooch, Tiffany encourages Scotty to jump into the pool and get naked. He then flashes his manhood, but Tiffany misses it, exclaiming, "I missed it, I missed it!"

We're sure it won't be the last time he gets his stuff out on TV anyway, so Tiffany has plenty more opportunities.

It seems that Gemma Collins just can't stay put in the Big Brother house for too long.

After she attempted to flee from the show yesterday, the reality star got into a spot of bother while she was preparing potatoes today.

As she was cutting the veg, Gemma accidently sliced her own finger. Ouch.

After the commotion, she was rushed to the Diary Room for preliminary treatment and was then transferred to hospital because she needed stitches.

"It's through to the bone," she panicked, as Christopher tried to help her.

She later returned to the house a little worse for wear, but is said to be doing OK.

With the rate that this show is going, it's a wonder if anyone will come out on top.

First he wants to go in, then he wants to leave, then he DID leave, and now he wants to go back in again. We just can't keep tabs on what Jonathan Cheban is thinking.

After his hasty exit from the Big Brother house this week, the reality star has revealed to Heat that he wants to go back in again – but it's some of the people inside that's keeping him out. 

Speaking from his swank London hotel, Kim K's best friend revealed, "I would love to go back in."

"But once you come out – you'd now have to literally push me in there. I liked so many of the people in the house. Daniella was so sweet, Christopher was hilarious and Scotty is awesome.

But he also had some strong words about the people he didn't get on with.

"Angie is like a bat out of hell – I don't do well with crazy people and she was like, something is wrong with her.

"John was trying to be too controlling – I couldn't care less about him. I don't know who he is," he added.

Mr Cheban also revealed that he's going to be filming with the Kimmy soon, and will be flying to LA in the next month.

"I’m back in LA filming with the Kardashians next month so I’ll be there for a long time and I’ll see [Kim] then!”

You are one confusing man, Jonathan.

Angie Bowie has decide to stay in the Big Brother house after the show's bosses broke the news to her that her ex-husband, David Bowie has died. 

TV bosses confirmed the news this afternoon, after they spoke to her off-camera and told her of David's battle with cancer and his passing last night. 

A statement from Channel 5 read: "Following the very sad news of David Bowie's death, we can now confirm that Angie Bowie has been informed off camera by her representatives.

"She has taken the decision to continue in the programme. The decision to remain in the house is entirely her choice, and she has been given the option to leave at any time if she changes her mind.

"Appropriate support will be available to Angie at any time if needed."

Angie was married to David for ten years and they divorced in 1980. They have one child together, Duncan, who shared a heartbreaking tweet about his father this morning.

Well, if anyone watches Keeping Up With The Kardashians, you know that Jonathan Cheban has started a nasty fight or two (or ten) in his time.

So, it really is no wonder the Kim K's BFF is causing a stir in the BB house and has threatened to leave, already.

Shocked by having to make his own coffee and toast, Jonathan decided the Big Brother house wasn't for him and wanted to leave; only to have an hour-long chat with the Brother himself.

And after that marathon talk, BB persuaded him to stay. But, that doesn't mean viewers were very happy about it.

Fans flocked to Twitter to share their theories about Jonathan, and we have to guess that one or two of them may be true:

Alicia Douvall famously had her first operation when she was just 17-years-old and since then has gone under the knife over 50 times.

But now Alicia fears that her obsession with plastic surgery might seriously damage her health after X-rays revealed implants in both bum cheeks have BURST and are leaking silicone into her bloodstream that could poison her, according to the Sunday People.

The former Celebrity Big Brother contestant has been warned that she could die if she doesn't get the implants removed within six months. 

But it is believed that she has undergone the surgery as she was spotted out in London wearing a hospital gown. 

"People have been telling me for years that the surgery will kill me. Now it has hit me that I really am going to die if I don’t do something," she told the magazine. 

She recently said that she was searching for a surgeon willing to perform the reverse operation, so let's hope she found one to safely put her back to health.

After appearing as a guest on Big Brother's Bit On the Side several times during the most recent series of BB, Irish model Vogue Williams seemed like a natural candidate for the celebrity version of the show.

The new series of Celebrity Big Brother kicks off next month, and although Vogue is a self-confessed "massive fan," she says she's not sure if she could hack three weeks locked in a house with 14 virtual strangers.

"A lot of people have been asking me if I’m going to do CBB and honestly as much as I love the show I couldn’t be a contestant," the Dublin-born model revealed in her latest blog post for Hello! magazine. "I’ve watched the show for years and I couldn’t stand being locked up with people for that long, they would drive me mad!"

The last series of the show was full of drama, with three housemates unceremoniously being ejected – Jeremy Jackson for attempting to remove Chloe Goodman's dressing gown, Ken Morley for using racist language on air, and Alexander O'Neal for using homophoblic language on air. So it's no surprise that Vogue is choosing to stay away from the show, though she says she will definitely be tuning in. 

"I will definitely be watching CBB this year; it’s always so good. I also heard a rumour that Caitlyn Jenner will be in there, how amazing!" the 29-year-old wrote.

Although she won't be appearing on CBB, Vogue said she got pretty flustered when she had the chance to step inside the Big Brother house for filming last week. "I was the most excited person ever," she admitted.

It's been a rocky few weeks for the model and TV personality, who recently announced she was splitting from her husband of almost three years, Brian McFadden. However she has been keeping busy and hitting the gym hard.

"I like to train between 5-6 days a week and I do about 50 minutes each day. It’s just something I always like to incorporate into my day and I treat it as part of my job," Vogue explained in her blog post, giving readers a taste of her usual exercise routine.

"It’s always hard to get motivated when you haven’t been in ages, so for any of you that are trying to get started, I promise once you get into it you will love it." There's no denying that Vogue has been looking more toned than ever lately, so her work has clearly been paying off:

If that picture doesn't motivate you to get to the gym, we don't know what will…

The one and only Brian Dowling is about to get hitched, or so his Instagram post would suggest.

The former Big Brother star posted a workout snap where he referred to himself as “the groom to be” and said that the “count down is on.”

“The groom to be and my Chief Bridesmaid @aoife_dowling_x_ working it as the count down is on. Thank u@suzypurnell for nearly killing us!#wedding#Tomford #Alexperry #letsgo.”

We couldn’t be happier for him and his fiancé!

The couple have been together for over three years and Brian recently went on a stag, or “sten” as he called it, to the Greek island of Mykonos.

 

Bitch it's my Sten!!!! #Mykonos #friends

In an interview with Evoke last year, the 37-year-old revealed the type of wedding that he and his boyfriend would most likely have

“It would be very low-key – we’d legally get married in the UK and then have the circus – the big party – in Ireland.”

Thankfully so much has happened since the interview and with the referendum passing in the interim we think that this is going to be one hell of an Irish wedding!

Fifteen years on, Big Brother is still going strong, and the sixteenth series kicks off tomorrow.

With another cast of bizarre housemates lined up (including a Dublin model who admits she's in favour of open relationships and lists being Amanda Byram's cousin as a claim to fame), we reckon it's time we took a look back at some of BB's best stars.

Believe us, there are a LOT to choose from. 

1. Brian Dowling
Keeping things Irish to start off, who can forget the adorable Brian Dowling from BB2? Sassy and sweet Brian was the first gay winner of a Big Brother show anywhere in the world, having come out just two weeks before entering the house. He eventually went on to replace Davina McCall as the Big Brother presenter in 2012 and 2013. 

 

2. Nikki Grahame
We knew Nikki was going to be good value from the moment she had her first diary room tantrum in BB7. From ripping into other housemates ("WHO IS SHE?") to defending her side of the room ("This is NIKKI's bed. This is Nikki's bed), she was hands down one of the most entertaining cast members of all time. All hail Queen Nikki.

 

3. Sam and Amanda Marchant
Twins Samanda had the name-merging thing down long before Jedward hit our screens, even agreeing to be counted as a single contestant for voting purposes. "Amanda loves pink, I'm girly doncha think? I'm Sam, I'm sweet, the guys think I'm a treat." Enough said.

 

4. Jade Goody
Jade, who sadly passed away in 2009 from cervical cancer, had serious longevity as a BB contestant. She first appeared on the show in 2002 (with a VERY impressive lack of general knowledge) before joining the Celebrity Big Brother house in 2007 with her boyfriend and mum. After triggering an international race scandal with Indian housemate Shilpa Shetty, Jade then joined the Indian Big Brother in 2008 to redeem herself.

 

5. Nadia Almada
Feisty Portuguese cigarette-lover Nadia became the first transsexual woman ever to win BB, having only announced at the end of the show that she was transsexual. In 2010, Nadia returned for Ultimate Big Brother – possibly not the best decision, as she clashed constantly with other contestants. Still, we'll always love Nadia.

 

6. Chantelle Houghton
She may be (relatively) well-known these days, but Chantelle first hit our screens as the only non-celebrity in the Celebrity Big Brother house, pretending to other housemates that she was a Z-list popstar from a band called Kandy Floss.

Appearing on Big Brother back in 2006, Pete Bennett made a serious impact on the show and even ended up winning the entire competition.

However, things began to go wrong for Pete not long after the show ended; not only did his relationship with co-star Nikii Grahame come to an end, but he tragically lost a lot of friends over the years.

Telling Jeremy Kyle about how his life began to spiral out of control, Pete said: “It all kind of went wrong, it didn’t go to plan … I was homeless after having so much money … I was addicted to ketamine. I went to get proper help for my addiction.”

Going to get help for his issues, Pete said he was told his drug use was down to not dealing with the tragedy in his life: “He [therapist] asked me about loss and I told him about all my friends that had died … I’d been taking K and being disassociated with it.”

Thankfully, Pete is now on the right track and says he has big dreams for the future: “I’ve got into acting and I’ve got into films, my Tourette’s has calmed down … Hollywood is next!”

Good luck to Pete and well done to him for getting the help he needed.

It was announced yesterday that Emma Willis has quit as host of the Big Brother’s Bit On The Side but will continue to host Big Brother itself.

It didn’t take long after the announcement for rumours to start that Emma was expecting a baby and she has now been forced to deny this. Taking to Twitter, the presenter wrote: “Thanks for all your wonderful messages. I can’t begin to tell you how much I’ll miss it. And to clarify, I’m not pregnant! #cbbots night x.”

Emma’s decision for quitting the spin-off show has not been revealed, but she did write on her official website that it “felt like the right time to hand over the reins”.

Rylan Clarke will now host BBOTS while Emma concentrates on the main show.

Emma has been married to McBusted’s Matt Willis since 2008 and the couple have two children together; Isabelle (6) and Ace (4).
