Stephanie Beacham(01 of14)
Open Image ModalStephanie participated in the last Channel 4 series of 'CBB' in 2010, and was undoubtedly our favourite housemate for being low-key iconic. Whether it was taking a bath in her sunglasses, wrapping herself in faux-fur for the majority of her stay or her unlikely bond with the equally camp Ivana Trump, Stephanie deserved much more than to come fifth.

Gareth Thomas(02 of14)
Open Image ModalHas there ever been a nicer person to grace the 'CBB' house than former rugby player Gareth? He was a rock for the majority of his housemates in 2012, and provided some calmness against a backdrop of the antics of Denise Welch, Michael Madsen and Frankie Cocozza.

Ivana Trump(03 of14)
Open Image ModalThe kooky former Mrs Donald Trump was a real character when she was incarcerated in the Borehamwood bungalow, and was up for anything, as this picture of her taking part in a life drawing class proves. Her constant mum dancing around the house had us in stitches, and her friendship with Ms Beacham was ultimate womance-goals. (credit:Rex/Shutterstock/Channel 4)
Leo Sayer(04 of14)
Open Image ModalLeo spent most of his 10 days in the 2007 'CBB' house being utterly miserable and flipping the bird at every camera that dared to film him. Eventually, it all became too much for him after a row with Big Brother over clean underwear and he broke out of the fire exit. An expletive-filled scuffle with security ensued, and while it was undoubtedly once of the most memorable back-door exits ever, we can only imagine what he would have gotten up to had he been talked into staying.

Maggie Oliver(05 of14)
Open Image ModalMaggie never quite got the coverage she deserved when she appeared in the January 2018 series, and given her love of a white wine with Amanda Barrie and Wayne Sleep, we can't help but feel like producers robbed us of some classic scenes. Although, we will always be thankful for the moment Maggie got down to fellow housemate Ginuwine's song 'Pony'. (credit:Rex/Shutterstock/Channel 5)
Lionel Blair(06 of14)
Open Image ModalFrom his 'AM I YOUR BOSS?' rant at Luisa Zissman to his overzealous antics in the Over 18s room, Lionel caused quite a stir during his 15 days in the house, but failed to resonate with viewers becoming second to be evicted. (credit:Rex/Shutterstock/Channel 5)
Natalie Cassidy(07 of14)
Open Image ModalPart in thanks to Morgana Robinson, Natalie Cassidy has become a bit of a cult figure, but seemingly 'CBB' viewers didn't tap into her brilliance, as she was evicted mid-series in 2012. (credit:Rex/Shutterstock/Channel 5)
Lauren Goodger(08 of14)
Open Image ModalCan you name any other 'CBB' contestant who has been told off by Big Brother for drunkenly weeing in the pool? No? Thought not, hence why Lauren Goodger will always be among the most ridiculous housemates of all time. (credit:Rex/Shutterstock/Channel 5)
Liz Jones(09 of14)
Open Image ModalGiven all of the things she's written in her Daily Mail column over the years, we expected to dislike Liz Jones when she took part in the 2013 series. And while on the whole, she was a bit of a nondescript character in the house, her secret task where she threatened to drown herself in the bath was a moment of sheer brilliance.

Saira Khan(10 of14)
Open Image ModalSaira had a lot of BS to deal with during her time in the 'CBB' house back in 2016, mainly from Stephen Bear and Marnie Simpson. While we can understand the 'Loose Women' star didn't always express her point in the best way, she had a lot of valid things to say. (credit:Rex/Shutterstock/Channel 5)
Carol McGiffin(11 of14)
Open Image ModalAh McGiff. Carol was one of the most memorable characters of the 2013 summer series thanks to her drunken antics. However, she failed to finish as highly as fellow 'Loose Women' star Denise Welch, which in our humble opinion was a complete travesty, especially when the person she lost out to was 'Geordie Shore' star Charlotte Crosby.

Stacy Francis(12 of14)
Open Image Modale always admired how former 'X Factor USA' contestant Stacy stood up for herself and others in the house, particularly against the acid-tongued Kim Woodburn. (credit:Rex/Shutterstock/Channel 5)
Jasmine Lennard(13 of14)
Open Image ModalEvery series of 'CBB' needs a baddie, and 2013's came in the form of model and Simon Cowell's ex Jasmine. She was not afraid to stir things up in the house, but that didn't seem to win her many fans in there, as she found herself nominated and evicted first. Luckily, producers saw her brilliance and invited her back as a guest for the 'Timebomb' series in 2015. (credit:Rex/Shutterstock/Channel 5)
Casey Batchelor's mum(14 of14)
Open Image ModalOK, so Kim Batchelor may not *technically* have been a housemate, but in the short few minutes she was in the house, Kim delivered one of the moments of the series when she warned her daughter to stay away from troublesome Blue singer Lee Ryan ("He says one thing to your face... then he goes to the Diary Room and says you get on his tits"). Producers, if you are reading this, sign her up for a full series immediately. (credit:Channel 5)
