UBB: Brian Dowling Wins Ultimate Big Brother

Day 94: Brian Dowling was crowned the Ultimate Big Brother housemate with 49.21% of the vote, as Nikki Grahame became runner-up in the very final night of the reality programme.

Brain was shocked at the announcement from Davina McCall saying, "Oh my God!" as he hugged Nikki. Most housemates and polls had predicted that Brian would win, with Davina telling viewers after the phone lines had closed, that Brian Dowling was her favourite housemate of all time. Davina told him that she wanted to see the Irish winner on TV - Brian told her that her people should call his people!

Nikki Grahame proved popular with the crowd and with viewers after gaining 30.28% of the public vote to finish a respectable second place in Ultimate Big Brother.

UBB: Chantelle Finishes Third In Ultimate Big Brother

Day 94: The final Big Brother night continued as Chantelle finished third in Ultimate Big Brother with 20.51% of the vote. Davina McCall got to quiz Chantelle about her renewed friendship with Preston, following their divorce.

Chantelle told Davina she felt like she had gone full circle in her relationship with Preston. Davina told her she had done a good job of trying to hide her feelings from Preston and Davina told her she hoped she would find closure with or without Preston.

UBB: Victor Finishes Fourth In Ultimate Big Brother Final

Day 94: BB5 bad boy housemate 'slick Vic' became the latest housemate to leave the Ultimate Big Brother house with 8.86% of the public vote, hot on the heels of best buddy Nick Bateman. Victor was another housemate that had changed so much since his first appearance on Big Brother. While maintaining his cheeky naughty side, Victor had mellowed out so much and became a pleasure to watch.

Victor finished seventh last time and told Davina that his game plan was to survive as long as he could and would have liked to have finished one or two places higher.

UBB: Nick Bateman Finishes Fifth In Ultimate Big Brother

Day 94: Nasty Nick Bateman finished a respectable fifth place in the Ultimate Big Brother Final and finally got to meet Davina McCall at the front door rather than in a secret location ten years prior.

The notorious housemate has been renamed 'Nice Nick' by his fellow housemates as he seems to have shed that nasty image tagged to his name from BB1. He received 5.72% of the public vote to win Ultimate Big Brother.

UBB: Ulrika And Preston Evicted From Ultimate Big Brother

Day 94: The first two housemates evicted from the Ultimate Big Brother house were Ulrika and Preston. Davina McCall was on hand to quiz Preston about his relationship with Chantelle. Davina had to remind him not to swear!

Neither Ulrika nor Preston had ever been favourites to win Ultimate Big Brother but the pair had helped provide entertainment in the house in two totally different ways. Ulrika certainly stirred emotions in other housemates and totally got involved in all the Tasks, while Preston was great to watch along side Chantelle.

Preston received just 1.95% of the public vote to win UBB, with Ulrika getting even less. Could we have a clear winner tonight? Tune in to find out!

BB11: Big Brother Final

Day 77: Josie Gibson was crowned the winner of Big Brother 11, with an impressive 77.5% of the public vote. Winning a £100,000, Josie told Davina she would give £20,000 to charity. She became one of the greatest housemates ever as she entertained the nation with her straight talking and simple ways. Viewers became addicted to the relationship between Josie and John James as it grew over the summer, although at times the relationship became quite fiery!

Crowds cheered as she was interviewed by Davina McCall, who told her she was beautiful on the inside and outside. John James was on hand to hug and kiss her before she re-entered the house for Ultimate Big Brother.

Who would have thought Dave could have finished second in BB11? Normally the religious housemates are annoying but Dave managed to win the housemates over and us with his weird and wonderful ways. Talking about the glory didn't put us off as we got to know the Welshman more and more. He proved he was up for a laugh and didn't shirk away from the tasks set by Big Brother. With 9.1% of the public vote, Dave was able to leave the house with his head held high - he did himself proud.

Mario entered the Big Brother house as a mole and left BB11 in third place, after having a roller coaster journey during his 77 days in the house. No other housemate had so many highs and lows as Mario and no other housemate got so naked as Mario. He received 5.1% of the vote and Davina asked him if he was really a nudist at heart after discussing his large left testicle. Mario said that he wasn't a nudist and he was shocked Big Brother showed his nude stunts.

JJ finished fourth on 4.5% of the public vote, just ahead of Andrew. He entered the house on Day 45 after being picked by the other housemates, as one of three new housemates. He quickly became friends with John James and caught the eye of Corin, but things turned sour very quickly between JJ and Corin.


Andrew came fifth with just 3.9% of the public vote and was greeted by the cheering crowd and a warm smile. The geek proved to be a winner in the house after arriving on Day 31 and coming out of his shell to become a great housemate to watch as he gave 100% during each task.

BB11: Big Brother's Big Beard Speaks Out!

Day 74: The beard is NOT happy and after being silent for 74 days it is time to speak out! Big Brother 11 has been an excellent end to the reality format but sadly we are going to be left with the DULLEST Big Brother EVER.

The public have voted out all the wrong people this week and left in the most bland, boring bunch of housemates since BB4. Of course I wanted John James to be evicted after his actions in recent days and I'm sure Sam Pepper wound up most of the viewers but............. both characters were entertaining.

We now have a final where only one person is in contention to win BB11, and the beard says that makes the final very boring! Yes, Josie is a great housemate but it would have been better if Sam Pepper was there to wind her up or Corin to add her hilarious ways. Even a sulking John James would be more entertaining than Mario, Andrew, JJ and Dave.

I have no-one to blame but myself, I've not voted during BB11 and at the end of the day the line up is partly my fault for not making a phone call. Do I give a ripp? Yes! Am I buzzin'? No! Thankfully we have Ultimate Big Brother as a fitting end too Big Brother, otherwise I'd have switched off my TV and said goodbye BB11 now.

BB11 POLL: Who Do You Want To Win Big Brother 11?

Day 69: Hundreds of you have already voted in our poll to find out who YOU want to win Big Brother 11. At the moment it is virtually neck and neck between Sam Pepper and Josie as just a few votes separate the pair. They have double the votes of John James, who is currently third place with one time favourite Corin in fourth and JJ is in 5th place.

If your voting is correct, then it looks like Mario, Andrew, Dave and Steve could be leaving the BB11 house on Friday during the quadruple eviction. The housemates still have a few days to win over fans and viewers and save themselves from eviction. The winner will win £100,000 and remain in the BB11 house for the 'Ultimate Big Brother' final, completing with former BB contestants.

CBB7: Alex Reid Wins Celebrity Big Brother Final

The final of Celebrity Big Brother 7 was eventually won by Alex Reid, as the cage fighter went head to head with Dane Bowers. This time the pair were not at a New Year's party, but at the very last Celebrity Big Brother final. Dane and Alex won half of the total votes between them during the eviction final. Alex eventually won with 65.9% of the public vote.

Alex Reid won over public affection during the four week stint inside the Big Brother house, exposing his weaknesses with his open and honest talking (as well as exposing himself to housemates with Jonas!). He proved himself the real winner after rising above the comments of Vinnie and the taunts of the other housemates to become the favourite in the final days of the series.

Dane Bowers came second in the final with 34.1% of the public vote, after beating Vinnie Jones (3rd), Jonas Altberg (4th) and Stephanie Beacham (5th).

CBB7: The Housemate To Finish Third Was.....

Day 27: Finishing in third place in the Celebrity Big Brother final was one time favourite Vinnie Jones. In the most shocking eviction of the night as the tough man got 20.2% of the vote, Vinnie looked surprised not to have won the final.

Crowds had been booing every time Vinnie's name was mentioned and housemates had heard this during an earlier eviction. Vinnie told Alex and Dane that you never know what the press have been saying or what Big Brother had been showing.

At the start Vinnie was the clear favourite to win the last ever Celebrity Big Brother, but as 'daddy' of the house his luck ran out as he clashed with housemates such as Lady Sov and Sisqo. He was never able to recover from his weakened position and viewers didn't like his assertive nature - in the end they opted for Dane and Alex as the final two housemates.

Day 27: The housemate to finish fourth in the Celebrity Big Brother final was Jonas Altberg (Basshunter) with 12.8% of the public vote. Jonas had entertained the public with his early romance and streaking in the garden as well as impressing the girls while in a mankini.

With the departure of his friends from the CBB7 house, Jonas became quieter and public support slowed. But the Swedish singer can hold his head high as he'll be a busy boy now he is out of the Big Brother house.

Day 27: The housemate to finish fifth in the Celebrity Big Brother final with 8.6% of the public vote was Stephanie Beacham. She had been the final female inside the CBB7 house after Nicola's surprise eviction on Wednesday.

Bookies had predicted Steph would be the first housemate to be evicted during the live final on Channel 4.

CBB7: Vinnie And Alex Top Sun Poll

Day 27: It looks like it could be neck and neck between bookies favourite Alex Reid and previous favourite Vinnie Jones. Over 6,000 readers have voted in The Sun's online poll and Alex is narrowly leading with 38% of the vote. Vinnie Jones is just 7% behind him in what could become a nail biting CBB7 Final tonight.

Dane Bowers was voted into third place on 18% of readers votes, having slipped back in recent days. The only female left in the Big Brother house looks unlikely to win the reality show as Stephanie Beacham only has 8% of the vote. Surprisingly, Jonas Altberg finished last in The Sun poll with just 5%.

CBB7: Will Alex Or Dane Win Celebrity Big Brother?

Day 27: Who would have predicted that Alex Reid and Dane Bowers could end up being the final two housemates remaining in the Celebrity Big Brother? Just four weeks ago the press were reporting how the pair had been involved in a fight at a party. Now it seems Katie Price is the real winner if either of her men are voted the eventual winners in tonight's final.

At first Dane appeared boring and lifeless during his first few days in the Big Brother house, but then stood up to Vinny Jones over the Lady Sov Corned Beef row - from that moment his confidence grew and he won the public over when the Tree of Temptation set him a secret Task.

Alex was not popular at the start because of the press stories and his relationship to Katie Price, his often honest comments sometimes made him look a fool - yet WE love a fool, especially an honest sincere one. Alex proved that he was 'just a nice honest chap', willing to have a laugh and more importantly, laugh at himself. Vinnie may have put him down at the start and Stephen may have been zealous in trying to convert him, yet Alex Reid proved he was still a gentleman and the public could now crown him the winner tonight.

Whoever wins, Alex and Dane have buried any ill feelings they had about each other 27 days ago and can leave the Celebrity Big Brother house with their heads held high.
