It won't be long until Big Brother is back on our screens and the re-vamped show will introduce us to a whole new batch of housemates to spy on 24/7. Writing that down it sounds hella creepy but
Although it is beyond frustrating that they kept pushing back the start date we were also kind of glad because it meant we could focus on Love Island, both the winter versionand the series currently being aired.
Speaking of, is Love Island 2023 not the most chaotic bundle of crazy you have ever watched? If this is what the producers are planning on doing with the new series of Big Brother, bring it on, baby.
Over the ten years that Big Brother was on telly it had a range of presenters, switched channels and offered us some truly iconic housemates, some of whom have gone on to have wild success.
Can you believe Alison Hammond was only on the show for two weeks before being booted out during series three?
However, not all of the contestants stayed in the public eye like Alison and BB3 winner Kate Lawler. For example, Darnell Swallow, who took part in Big brother 9, has kept his life pretty low-key since his time in the world's most famous house (soz, Buckingham and White).
The music lover was part of the Big Brother 9 family from day one and ended up finishing in fifth place.
Since his series ended in 2008, Darnell has been focusing on his music career and is currently involved in producing music and collabs with artists from around the world.
