And already we’ve come to the end of this year’s Celebrity Big Brother. Sob. It’s been a fantastic series full of strops, snogs, lawsuits, Frankie Cocozza's bum, birthdays, bust ups and Denise Welch’s boobs.
We take a look back at this series most memorable moments, including public nominations and the giant fight that has now been dubbed ‘Pantgate.’ Did your favourite CBB moment make the cut?
From the start Big Brother was inventing ways to mess with the housemates. EastEnders’ Natalie Cassidy was first to find herself at the mercy of Big Brother, as she was forced to lock lips with X Factor reject Frankie Cocozza!
Big Brother also brought in other celebrities to set challenges for the housemates. First up was glamour model turned body-builder Jodie Marsh, who covered them in unappealing mud-coloured fake tan and made them pose in skimpy little outfits.
Former mischievous housemates Jeward also popped into the house to set a secret challenge for Natalie and Denise. Dressed as ‘Cheeky Cherubs,’ Jedward instructed the pair to steal a lock of Frankie Cocozza's hair, Michael Madsen's cowboy hat, and Karissa’ sandwich.
Strange Andrew Stone was the first housemate to be evicted out of the Big Brother house and return to Z-list obscurity, followed a few days later by homewrecker and tabloid-favourite Natasha Giggs.
The housemates proved they couldn’t take their booze as a drunken game of Truth or Dare in the hot tub resulted in EastEnders actress Natalie snogging Playboy model Karissa, and WAG Nicola sitting on a naked Frankie’s lap.
Kirk finally obtained his wish as he managed to kiss his crush Georgia (only after he had got her handcuffed to him, mind). A few days previously Kirk had also enjoyed a quick lip-lock with Natasha. How he got these women to kiss him is still a mystery to us.
During Frankie’s rock-themed 19th birthday party, 53 year-old Denise Welch drunkenly frolicked topless in the hot tub. The nation cringed. Frankie looked like he enjoyed himself though.
Georgia Salpa became the third housemate out and straight after she left Big Brother announced to the housemates that they must make the next round of nominations…publicly. Tensions ran high as each celebrity had to say which housemate they were nominating and why. Denise and Michael, who had been fighting constantly since first entering the house, fell out spectacularly as Michael branded the Loose Women star “a pretentious drunken b**ch.”
Following the painful public nominations, TOWIE star Kirk Norcross and EastEnders actress Natalie Cassidy were the fourth and fifth housemates to leave respectively.
Big Brother created a fake Japanese television show in a bid to convince the CBB housemates that they are “big in Japan”. In a series of increasingly embarrassing challenges, Gareth was forced to dance in a giant sushi suit, Romeo ate smelly fish heads, Karissa’s face was covered in monkey poo and Kristina had fish thrown at her feet.
Pantgate! The Celebrity Big Brother house saw one of its biggest rows EVER, as furious Playboy model Karissa Shannon threatened legal action against CBB bosses after Denise Welch playfully pulled down her trousers during a dance. “I'm going to sue you, I want to leave now”
WAG Nicola McLean was booted out of the Big Brother house and greeted by a sea of boos. So Solid Crew rapper Romeo followed the ex-glamour model out but had a much warmer reception.
Now all that remain in the house are Hollywood actor Michael Madsen, Loose Women’s Denise, X Factor reject Frankie, ex-rugby player Gareth and Playboy twins Karissa and Kristina. We can’t wait to see who will be crowned winner of Celebrity Big Brother 2012! So that’s it for this year, what celebrities will be locked in the CBB house next year?!
