Big Brother's Time Warp week has already given us three ex-housemates in Helen Wood, Brian Belo and Nikki Grahame - but that wasn't quite enough, so as part of yesterday's shopping task, a whole bunch of other ones popped in for a party.
Yesterday's task demanded that the housemates freeze whenever instructed to do so - and conveniently, that's just when Big Brother decided to send in some familiar faces. But how many do you remember?
First up was Pete Bennett, who swung by the house to try to distract his former flame Nikki Grahame - and it looks like he managed to get her giggling.
But he was far from the only ex-housemate to pop in, as Big Brother 1's Craig Phillips led a whole host of familiar faces in for a bit of a party.
And there were loads of them, too: Jack and Joe, Mark and Matthew,...

Big Brother does love a twist, so this Friday three former housemates will be returning to join the 'fake evictee' in a Secret Lair. And goodness, did that spark some conversations at DS Towers about who should return!
Of course, some of our picks have been on Ultimate Big Brother, but we're going to ignore that (we're not sure it's canon when Ulrika Jonsson can be dubbed an 'ultimate' housemate, to be honest). And while there are obviously plenty of amazing contestants from years gone by, we couldn't choose them all. But below are just some of our choices for Friday's big twist - let us know who you want to throw back in!
Nick 'Nasty Nick' Bateman (Big Brother 1)
Series one was something of an untainted golden era for Big Brother. The show was yet to be overrun with perma-tanned attention seekers and was a genuinely fascinating human experiment:...

Big Brother pulled out a great task last night - it was impossible not to snigger at the housemates screaming their heads off at everything from teddy bears to non-existent bumps in the night. And it was such a good one that it got us thinking about some of our other favourite challenges across Big Brother history.
We've left out Celebrity Big Brother, but below we picked just some of our favourite ever tasks. It turned out to be quite a tough ask to narrow it down, given how many there have been over the years. Read on to see what we picked, and let us know what you loved in the comments...
1. Boogie Nights (Big Brother 2)
We loved the old style tasks which lasted a few days - including overnight. And this early task from Big Brother 2 was a great example of that. It was simple enough,...

In a few short hours, one of six housemates will go down in the Big Brother history books as the 15th winner of the show (alright, so it's not like they'll be studied in schools or anything, but it's something, right?). But where will they fit in the record? Will they be a worthy winner, or a disappointment? Will they be looked back on with glee or with grimaces?
That remains to be seen, but in the meantime we have 14 winners to rank. Who is the best? Who is the worst? We're not going to claim this is definitive - we switched our own minds around about 27 times just while compiling our running order - but take to the comments to give us your views. And so, in order from worst to best, here we go...

We’ve been waiting all day and at 9.55pm this evening, this year’s first full length Big Brother promo aired on Channel 5.
It was like a who’s who of famous Bb faces from years gone by and we had quite a lot of fun spotting and naming some of our favourite (and also most annoying) housemates.
We have compiled most of them in a list below, though we know there are some names missing, so feel free to leave a comment below if you can identify any more.
The video starts out with Makosi on the phone and leads into various cast members dancing and miming to an adaptation of David Guetta’s popular dance track – When Love Takes Over renamed When Bruv Takes Over and at the end, as all the Bb stars gathered in what looked like a massive field, Marcus Bentley exclaimed:

Dermot O'Leary is going back to 'Big Brother'. The TV host - who presented spin-off show 'Big Brother's Little Brother' from 2001 until 2008 - is returning to Channel 4 for a special dinner with several former housemates.

Former Big Brother housemates including Nick Bateman, Kinga Karolczak, Imogen Thomas, Gerry Stergiopoulos and Billi Bhatti have all claimed to have turned down the chance to return to the reality TV show.
Producers have planned a two week special titled ‘Ultimate Big Brother,’ to mark the final series of the show. When it launches later this month, the show will include former Bb stars, who will battle it out for the Ultimate Housemate crown.
However not all past housemates are as fame hungry as they may seem. Nick Bateman revealed his decision to stay out of the house on Twitter.
“Sadly on Friday, I turned down Big Brother’s kind offer of going back into the house,” he wrote.
Kinga Karolczak, Imogen Thomas, Gerry Stergiopoulos and Billi Bhatti have also claimed that they won’t be back and Big Brother 10 winner Sophie Reade hinted that she may not be involved...

Former Big Brother housemates came together this week, to film a spoof funeral for the show. Bb’s final series is set to launch next month and in a funny sketch to celebrate the end, stars like Nasty Nick Bateman, Charley Uchea and Aisleyne Horgan-Wallace gathered in a London cemetary.
All those wannabes in one place was bound to cause problems and an insider told The Sun: “There was a lot of one-upmanship going on – the older contestants thought they were more important than the newer ones.
“There were a lot of them there and they all wanted to be in shot, obviously.
“Tempers got a bit frayed and there were some cross words – not helped by the fact it was a long day. It felt like a typical day in the Bb house.”
Featured in the Bb funeral will be Craig Phillips, Sophie “Dogface” Reade, Nadia Almada, Brian Dowling,...
