CBB's Ben Jardine's scorned wife Stephanie 'in talks' to enter the house

Former Corrie star Ryan Thomas was the final ever winner of CBB, despite MAJOR controversy in his series involving Roxanne Pallet.

Jack Dee took part in the show for Comic Relief and everyone seemed surprised, none more so than Jack. The series lasted a paltry five days as it was a more innocent time.

The nation fell in love with Mark Owen all over again when he took part while Take That were on hiatus.

Happy Mondays dancer Bez made no bones about taking part in the show because he needed the money. During his triumphant series he struck up an unlikely friendship with Jackie Stallone. Yes, really.

AS the only non-celebrity in the Celebrity Big Brother house it was perhaps inevitable that Chantelle would win. She went on to marry cast mate Samuel Preston from the Ordinary Boys and later had a baby with subsequent CBB winner Alex Reid.

The nation rolled its eye when Shilpa Shetty claimed she was as big as Angelina Jolie. But her grace and dignity in the face of Jade Goody's bullying saw her crowned CBB winner.

Ulrika-ka-ka-ka-ka Johnson had stiff competition from Terry Christian, Tina Malone and Mutya Buena but, following a grumpy time in the house, eventually triumphed.

Alex Reid was pretty much a twinkle in Katie Price's eye when he entered CBB. He became husband number two shortly after his win.

Paddy Doherty winning CBB was not the nation's finest hour.

Denise Welch took on disgraced X Factor singer Frankie Cocozza, former Towie Kirk Norcross and EastEnders favourite Natalie Cassidy and WON.

Well of course Julian Clary won. The man's a national treasure! Mind you, he had stiff competition from Coleen Nolan and Martin (really, Martin? ) Kemp.

Charlotte Crosby was the first Geordie Shore cast mate to enter Celebrity Big Brother and she set the bar very high.

Rylan Clark-Neal was an utter delight during his time in the Borehamwood Bungalow. He now presents Bit On The Side, which is an impressive career trajectory.

Gary Busey's time on Celebrity Big Brother was...odd. Still, hats off. he won.

HOW DID THIS HAPPEN?

Somehow, Katie Hopkins was Katie Price's closest rival for the CBB crown. Thank goodness, the right Katie won. She's denied she's going into the house in 2018 which is a crying shame.

James Hill, anyone? ANYONE? Thought not.

Scotty T was pitted against Gemma Collins, Megan McKenna, Stephanie Davis and Jeremy McConnell and came out triumphant. His finest hour? Possibly.

Bear had an interesting time in the CBB house and a very rude time with Chloe Khan in the CBB toilet. He was up for every single eviction but beat them all and won the show.

Coleen Nolan did TWO stints in the CBB house, first taking part in 2012. She beat Jedward and won this time around.

Sarah Harding enjoyed a relationship with Chad Johnson during their time in CBB. Alas, things didn't work in the outside world. The former Girls Aloud singer sadly passed away in 2021 after battling cancer.

Shane Jenek AKA Courtney Act was the stand out star of winter 2018 Celebrity Big Brother, in part because they stood up to the bigoted remarks of house villain Anne Widdecombe.

Former Corrie star Ryan Thomas was the final ever winner of CBB, despite MAJOR controversy in his series involving Roxanne Pallet.
