[edit] Housemates
[edit] Carole Malone
Carole Malone (born 14 October 1954) is a columnist for the Sunday Mirror. She starred in the 2006 series of Celebrity Fit Club on ITV. On Day 2 Carole broke Big Brother rules by discussing nominations with Shilpa and Cleo. Carole was a servant during the Master and Servant task. Carole was put up for eviction after being unanimously chosen between her and Cleo by her fellow housemates to face the public vote as punishment for discussing nominations. Carole was evicted on Day 10. Carole has revealed that her real age is in fact 52 and not 47.
[edit] Cleo Rocos
Cleo Rocos (born July 24, 1962 in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil) is a comic actress who appeared on The Kenny Everett Television Show. Cleo has developed a maternal role in the house and tends to look after the younger housemates and do such things as cook and clean for them, which was first pointed out by Ian and Jo on Day 2. On Day 2, Cleo broke Big Brother rules by discussing nominations with Shilpa and Carole. As punishment, the rest of the housemates (except Carole but including Shilpa) were made to vote unanimously on who should face the public vote. Cleo was not chosen. Cleo was a servant during the Master and Servant task. In battle of the tribute bands she was in Jermaine's group as a member of the Jackson 5, the group won. She was evicted on Day 24, along with Jo.
[edit] Danielle Lloyd
Danielle Lloyd (born Liverpool, 16 December 1983) is an English model and former Miss Great Britain (2006), stripped of her title for dating a panel judge, footballer Teddy Sheringham, and posing for Playboy. Danielle was a servant during the Master and Servant task. She was accused of racist bullying of her fellow house mate Shilpa Shetty, along with Jade Goody and Jo O'Meara. On one occasion Lloyd said that Shetty should "fuck off home", something that Big Brother questioned her about at a later date. Danielle eventually finished 5th on final night.
[edit] Dirk Benedict
Dirk Benedict (born March 1, 1945) is an American actor who played Face in The A-Team and Starbuck in the original Battlestar Galactica. Dirk made a unique entrance to the house by arriving via (a replica of) The A-Team van, smoking a cigar and with the theme tune playing in the background. A memorable moment occurred a few minutes after he arrived in the house, when a drunk Donny said "It's Dirk fucking Benedict", to which Dirk responded "I seldom use my middle name". Dirk made no secret of his attraction to Shilpa, even saying that he would marry her in a moment, although his attention and flirting with her was light hearted and not excessive. On Day 2 a comic feel surrounded Dirk as Shilpa learned to pronounce his name. Dirk finished third.
Despite his obvious affection for Shilpa, Dirk Benedict has been accused of racism and will be interviewed by the police. Newspaper reports have quoted him as saying, "There are millions of Indians. Millions. And they’re breeding fast. They are having four or five kids when the Brits are having one. The average British woman has 1.3 children and the Indians are having 3.5. The Brits, the natural-born, are already in a minority. There will be a Nehru as Prime Minister soon.”
[edit] Donny Tourette
Donny Tourette is the lead singer of Towers of London, a punk rock band from London. He staggered into the house in a drunken state and instantly breached Big Brother rules when his stash of alcohol was removed from his suitcase. Donny escaped from the Big Brother House on 5 January 2007 by climbing over the garden wall in the House Next Door with the help of 'H' from Steps, saying "I'm not waiting hand on foot on some fucking moron and her family", referring to Jade Goody, as he climbed over. His clothes and belongings were left in the Diary Room by a fellow contestant.
[edit] Ian "H" Watkins
Ian "H" Watkins (born May 8, 1976) is a Welsh actor and was previously a member of the pop group Steps. He came out as gay to The Sun on the same day as he entered the house. Although he was known as the fence-sitter and, along with Jermaine, the peace maker, he could see that Shilpa was being bullied by Jade, Danielle and Jo and at one point locked himself in the toilet in tears over the divide in the House. He finished fourth.
[edit] Jack Tweed
Jack Andrew Tweed (born July 7, 1987 in Waltham Cross, Hertfordshire) is Jade Goody's boyfriend. He entered the House on 2007-01-05 as a member of Jade's family. He was a master during the Master and Servant task. Jack left school at the age of 16, to become an electrician like his father, however, he soon changed career to male modelling. He is currently training to be a footballers' agent. He has courted controversy over his "fucking cunt" comment (which was bleeped and then subsequently reported as "fucking paki") and suggested that Shilpa remove objects from the toilet with her teeth. When Jade apologised to Shilpa (on Day 16), Jack confessed that he was very disappointed with Jade for apologising to her and called Shilpa a “dick”. He also previously described Shilpa as a "wanker". Following Jade's eviction he has spent more time with former Miss Great Britain Danielle Lloyd, who is said to be flirting with Jack and told him "I love you" when she was drunk. It was alleged that before either of them were famous, Tweed had a relationship with Big Brother 7 star Nikki Grahame; however this ended before Tweed dated Goody or Grahame entered the house. In May 2007, Endemol released previously withheld material in which O'Meara, Tweed and Goody constructed a limerick which was based around, although it did not directly use, the word "paki", instead replacing the racist slur for the word "tacky".
[edit] Jackiey Budden
Jackiey Budden (born April 1958) is Jade Goody's mother and entered the house on Friday January 5 as part of Jade's family. Jackiey was a master during the Master and Servant task. Jackiey caused a slight stir in the House, and upset both her daughter Jade and fellow housemates Shilpa and Ken with her demanding attitude and garrulous personality. She was unable to correctly pronounce Shilpa's name, so instead referred to her as "Princess" and "The Indian". On Day 8, Jackiey became the first housemate to be evicted from the Big Brother house in a surprise eviction; Jackiey left the House via the Diary Room and was unable to say goodbye to her fellow housemates. There was no crowd present at Jackiey's eviction and she left the house without any shoes.
[edit] Jade Goody
Jade Goody (born June 5, 1981) entered the house on Friday January 5. Jade first rose to fame when she appeared in the third UK series of Big Brother and since then has gone on to have a career in the media industry. Jade was at the centre of a racist bullying controversy against fellow housemate Shilpa Shetty. The Act Against Bullying charity branded her behaviour as "unforgivable". Among Jade's comments were: "I've seen how she goes in and out of people's arseholes", as well as suggesting Shetty "makes [her] skin crawl". She also referred to Shetty as 'Shilpa Poppadom'. She was evicted on Day 17, Big Brother producers and Endemol had decided not to have a live crowd present nor the usual press conference to enable them to brief Jade Goody on the recent racism allegations. Jade was a master during the Master and Servant task. It is widely suspected she was evicted due to her alleged racist comments made towards fellow contestant Shilpa Shetty. Shilpa Shetty has said at various times that she has forgiven Jade.
[edit] Jermaine Jackson
Jermaine Jackson (born December 11, 1954, also known as Muhammed Abdul Aziz) is an American R&B singer, former member of The Jackson 5 and brother of pop stars Michael Jackson and Janet Jackson. On the launch show, Davina revealed that Jermaine's favourite tube line was the Central Line. In the house several of the housemates have commented that Jermaine was very shy and they therefore found it difficult to converse with him. Towards the end he proved to be a calming influence in the House and came to be highly regarded by his housemates. Jermaine finished second.
[edit] Jo O'Meara
Jo O'Meara (born April 29, 1979) was previously a member of the pop group S Club 7 and a former contestant on Just the Two of Us. She also had a brief solo career before pursuing a career in dog breeding. She has come in for criticism for her ganging up, with Jade Goody, Danielle Lloyd, on fellow housemate Shilpa Shetty, who was subjected to racist bullying in the house, despite maintaining that she and Shetty are friends. She was a servant during the 'Master and Servant' task. She was evicted on Day 24, along with Cleo Rocos.
Since leaving the House Jo has apparently slipped into depression and thought about suicide. However, in 2008 Jo has had a baby and is planning on releasing new music later in the year. She is also considering doing a charity gig with Denise Van Outen in November 2008.
[edit] Ken Russell
Ken Russell (born July 3, 1927) is an English director of such films as The Music Lovers, The Devils, The Boy Friend, Lisztomania, and Tommy, and at age 79 was the oldest male contestant in the programme's history. Since entering the house Ken prevented many of the other housemates from sleeping due to his excessive snoring. Danielle informed Ken of his snoring on Day 3 which led to many of the housemates pondering over a solution. On Day 5 at 14:55, he voluntarily left the house after arguing with new housemate Jade Goody and her family.
[edit] Leo Sayer
Leo Sayer (born May 21, 1948) is a singer who had success in the 1970s with hits such as "When I Need You", "You Make Me Feel Like Dancing", "Moonlighting" and "Thunder In My Heart". Leo found it difficult to sleep on his first night in the house as he was forced to share a bed with Donny who was naked, a prospect that Leo found uncomfortable. Leo was a servant during the Master and Servant task. He reverted to mime communication and decided to take a vow of silence, much to the confusion and annoyance of the other housemates. Leo escaped from the house by breaking open a fire door with a broom after hitting a two-way mirror on Day 10 when Big Brother refused to provide him with clean underwear. It was revealed later that he had overlooked clean underwear in his suitcase. He was up for eviction at the time and, though he did not know it, leading the poll.
[edit] Shilpa Shetty
Shilpa Shetty (born June 8, 1975) is an award winning Indian actress and an active AIDS and PETA campaigner. Though her native language is Tulu, she is a fluent English speaker. Tens of thousands of complaints about the show suggested that Shilpa had been the victim of racist abuse from the other housemates. Police proceedings have concluded with no further action being taken. On Day 26, Shilpa was declared the winner of the series.

[edit] Notes
Note 1: When Jade, Jack, and Jackiey entered the house they became "masters" along with Jermaine, Ken, and Shilpa. The other eight housemates were chosen to be their "servants" and moved to the House Next Door. It was revealed that the masters are automatically nominated for eviction in which the viewers are to vote which housemates to save, rather than evicted. Therefore, the housemate with the least number of votes is evicted. Donny, who was originally a servant, left the house on Day 3. On Day 5, Ken voluntarily left after being involved in arguments with housemates.
Note 2: Carole and Cleo were banned from nominating as a punishment for discussing nominations earlier. Additionally, housemates had to choose one of them to face the public vote They chose Carole On Day 10, Leo escaped the house.
Note 3: The nominations were cast on Day 15 and announced on Day 16. The voting package was delayed and only shown at the end of Big Brother's Big Mouth where it was also revealed that all Channel 4's profits for this vote will go to charity.
Note 4: There was a double eviction on Day 24 and therefore the three or more housemates were placed up for the public vote rather than the two or more housemates. If there was not a double eviction, Dirk and Jo would have faced the public vote. The voting lines originally opened on Day 22 but were reset on Day 23 due to an error which stated that viewers were to vote to save Shilpa when they were in fact voting to evict. Viewers who had voted before the lines were reset were offered a full refund with all unclaimed money and profits from the vote being donated to charity.
Note 5: There were no nominations in the final two days and instead the public were voting for the housemate they wished to win rather than evict. The housemates coming 5th and 6th were evicted together in a double eviction on the final night, All 4 other housemates left the house separately.
