UBB POLL: Will Chantelle And Preston Get Back Together?

Day 83: We've been asking in our Ultimate Big Brother POLL if you think Chantelle and Preston will get back together. With just a few hours remaining, it looks like most of you think they will - but you still have time to vote 'No' or they will only get back together 'if the price is right'.

Over the past few days we've seen feelings running high between Chantelle and Preston as they have both declared how they feel about each other, even though they are now divorced. It seems that being back in the final Big Brother house has opened up a whole can of emotions - pulling on past love strings. Is there some unfinished business or should they just become really good friends?

UBB: Victor Angered By Brian Dowling Comments

Day82: Victor has been fuming in the bedsit at comments made by Brian Dowling during a late night game of 'Guess The Housemate'. Brian described Victor as confrontational, aggressive and gangster during the game, which infuriated the hidden housemate.

Victor ranted, "Fuck him" to Michelle in the Bedsit about the comments, telling her he'd been nice about Brian earlier. If Nadia had said those comments he would have understood but Victor felt that Brian had no right to say such things about him. "I'm gonna start saying bad things about him now..... I'm gonna start being aggressive and confrontational now. This guy is a fake!"

UBB: Nasty Nick Writes Notes Again

Day 80: The Tree of Temptation has caused Nick Bateman to return as Nasty Nick with the latest Task.

The Tree revealed who was up for eviction this week and provided him with slips of paper on which he had to write the names of those people and hide them around the House.

Nick promptly set about his task and immediately began writing on and hiding the slips of paper.

The reward the housemates will receive if he is successful is plush cotton bedsheets for the Bedroom.



In true Big Brother style, Darren from Big Brother 1 entered the House and immediately began acting very suspiciously, searching around the House for something...

He then started finding slips of paper with people's names on hidden in various places. These slips of paper were those hidden by Nick for his Tree of Temptation Task and they revealed the names of those people who are up for eviction.

However, Nick was unaware that Darren was tasked to find these slips of paper and he started behaving extremely nervously, denying he was involved and playing the innocent victim.

A short while later, Big Brother gathered all the housemates at the kitchen table and it was clear that Darren was set to make an announcement of some kind.

'Nasty' Nick, slips of paper, a meeting at the Kitchen table... ring any bells? What was Big Brother up to...?

Big Brother then announced that Darren would be announcing this weeks nomination results and that he should read out the names on the slips of paper he had found; Coolio and John McCririck.
It was all a big game played out expertly by Big Brother and his cheeky friend the Tree to reveal the nominations to the housemates! What a couple of sneaky schemers!!

UBB: Chantelle In Tears

Day 79: Preston and Chantelle would have been celebrating their 4th wedding anniversary this week, but instead the divorced former Celebrity Big Brother housemates are being forced to see each other as the nation tunes in.

The pressure took it's toll on Chantelle Houghton as she was reduced to tears after a discussion about her failed relationship with Preston. John McCririck mentioned it would be the final send off for Ultimate Big Brother if Chantelle and Preston got together again.

All the talk of divorce became too much for Chantelle and she ran to the Bathroom and started crying.

John immediately came in and apologised to the blonde beauty as he was concerned that she was upset.

Chantelle told the racing pundit that it wasn't him at all who made her cry. Chantelle went on to mention that it would have been her and Preston's 4th anniversary.

Preston went in and comforted Chantelle with a one-to-one conversation and he soon got her smiling. Fans of Big Brother are hoping that the pair can rekindle some of the romance they discovered when they first met on the programme.

Seems like everyone has been in tears since Ultimate Big Brother launched on Tuesday night - Josie, Nikki, Ulrika and Makosi have cried since returning to the BB house!

Since Tuesday's BB11 final, Josie has been emotional after being briefly reunited with John James. Inside the house she confessed to missing John James, feeling like a nobody and finding the new housemates strange.

UBB: Josie Wants To Leave Big Brother House

Day 79: The novelty of being surrounded by former Big Brother housemates has worn off for Josie and now the BB11 winner wants out! Late into the night, a tearful Josie made her way to the Diary Room to speak to Big Brother.

'I can't handle it anymore' sobbed the Bristolian winner. When asked by Big Brother just what exactly she couldn't handle, she replied 'All of it. I just can't handle it'.

Big Brother reassured Josie, and reminded her that she was 'a winner', however a woeful Jose said that she 'doesn't feel like one'.

'I went out there and seen all my friends and family, and then I've seen John and I've just had to walk straight back in here', she wept. 'It doesn't feel like the same House anymore'.

Big Brother reminded Josie that it is the same House that she has been living in for the past 12 weeks, yet Josie said it felt like the walls were 'closing in' on her.


'You'd think I'd be happy, wouldn't you?' she questioned to herself.

Having expressed her concerns to Brian that she feels like 'a nobody', Josie confided her fears to Big Brother. 'I do miss my old housemates', admitted the blubbing blonde. 'I'm not like these people. They're all celebrities. I'm normal'.

Josie declared that she wanted to leave the House. 'I feel really trapped in here. I just want to go'.

Weeping into her tissue, Josie repeated 'I really want to go'. Will she walk out of the house? Stay tuned!

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: Anthea Turner Serves Housemates Breakfast

Day 75: Housemates were shocked to be woken up by former Celebrity Big Brother housemate and ex-Blue Peter star, Anthea Turner. As part of their 'perfect day', Anthea entered the bedroom with a hostess trolley full of goodies and served them all breakfast in bed. The treats on offer included muffins, fruit, pastries and orange juice.

Anthea told the group that she has been a big fan of the series so far and congratulated everybody on reaching the final. The domestic goddess couldn't resist asking the housemates about their cleaning routines and she listened with great interest as she quizzed Mario on how often they got to use the hoover and how many times a week the group wash their bed sheets.

The housemates, who were still half asleep, kept on commenting on how surreal their wake up was but they were clearly all thrilled with their unexpected early morning feast.Josie was the most excited to see Anthea, screaming loudly!

After Anthea left the House Welshman Dave revealed that he used to have a major crush on the former Blue Peter presenter when he was younger and commented that she still looked amazingly good for her age.

Josie summed the mood of the group up by jokingly saying "We're getting served breakfast by a celebrity, just who do we think we are?"

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: Mario Streaks Again!

Day 74: Mario couldn't resist the opportunity to get naked again as he paraded around the Big Brother house in nothing more than a top hat - much to the embarrassment of Andrew. Due to a task set by the Tree of Temptation, Andrew has had to say yes to all the housemates requests. In a twist, the Tree told Mario of the task and allowed him to manipulate it to his advantage.

As Mario brushed his teeth while standing naked in the bathroom, Andrew went to chat to him. "Are you going to make us lunch today?" Mario asked, with Andrew replying: "Yeah, alright." Feigning surprise, Mario said: "Really? Are you going to make us lunch today?" Andrew confirmed that he would, before Mario sat on the student's knee, leaving him clearly uncomfortable.

While Mario, David and Andrew talked in the bedroom, Mario said: "Andrew, I'm going to be bold. Can you make me some eggs on toast?" The 19-year-old replied: "Can you do me a favour and throw some washing in?" As David and Andrew discussed whether washing needed to be done today, Mario chipped in: "But will you make me some lunch?" Andrew replied: "Yeah, yeah."

Mario then asked Andrew to sit on his lap, before adding: "You can be my puppet, do you want to be my puppet?" Andrew replied: "Yes." The aspiring fashion designer then proceeded to do a puppet show for David, making Andrew say that he fancies Mario and has learnt that he "must stay away from watermelons" since being in the Big Brother house.
