The 2006 series was a classic.

Big Brother is back Back BACK on Channel 4 this year with Davina McCall after ten years in the wilderness of Channel 5. Well, sort of. Davina and Rylan Clark-Neal are teaming up this summer to have a look back at Big Brother's best ever episodes in celebration of the show's 20th anniversary.

And we feel certain that many of those will be from series seven AKA the best one.

It brought us 93 (93!) days of Pete Bennett, Richard Newman and, err, Glyn Wise. Plus introduced us to Aisleyne Horgan-Wallace, as well as launching Nikki Grahame on an unsuspecting world.

Pete Bennett

Pete was the first housemate to enter the Big Brother house, and made quite an entrance by falling down he stairs. He was also the last to leave after winning the show with a landslide 61% of the vote.

Pete's now an actor, starring in a show called Green Fingers on Amazon Prime. In late 2020, he's appearing in a Catherine Tate film, This Nan's Life.

Glyn Wise

Remember Glyn? Only vaguely? Us too, yet he came second on the show after a whopping 93 days in the house. Blimey.

Glyn stood as Plaid Cymru's candidate in Cardiff Central in 2016 but resigned from the party later that year.

Aisleyne Horgan-Wallace

Aisleyne divided opinion among the Big Brother housemates, she was voted to be sent to the House Next Door in week six, but she was popular with viewers and ended in a very respectable third place.

Aisleyne is the biggest monetary success story of her series and is worth an estimated cool £4.3m. She's still a darling of the tabloids and, honestly? We're still a little bit in love with her.

Richard Newman

Another housemate who stirred up mixed feelings in the house, Richard survived eviction a whopping six times. He wound up in fourth place.

Richard Newman not really now tbh

It's remarkably difficult to find an up-to-date snap of Richard (rude) so here's a jolly picture of him and fellow housemate Lea Walker. He went on to present a show on Gaydar radio for two years after the show.

Nikki Grahame

One of the most iconic Big Brother contestants of all time, Nikki Grahame was booted out of the house on day 58 but was put back in on day 83 and basically jumped on Pete. She ended up in fifth place which is weird considering her "WHO IS SHE?" rant is still common parlance.

Since leaving Big Brother, Nikki has done a whole lot more Big Brother, including Ultimate Big Brother (she came second to Brian Dowling) and Big Brother Canada 4 (she lasted a whopping 59 days).

Jennie Corner

Look, we're going to level with you here. We don't remember anything about Jennie's time in the house and yet she was part of the finale and came in sixth place after 49 days in the house.

Jennie Corner...still in 2006

Jennie's post-Big Brother life seems to have been lived out of the spotlight (as is her absolute right). She did a saucy photoshoot for now defunct lads' mag Zoo, posted some tweets in 2013 but other than that...nada.

Imogen Thomas13 of 18

Imogen Thomas

Miss Wales 2003, Imogen lasted 86 days in the Big Brother house, just missing out on a place in the finale.

Unlike Jennie, Imogen has very much kept herself in the public eye. Her most notorious moment was when her alleged affair with Ryan Giggs was subject to a gagging order in 2011.

Grace Adams-Short15 of 18

Mikey Dalton and Grace Adams-Short

Grace and Mikey got together on the show, although when Grace left on day 30, Mikey stayed on and clocked up 79 days in the house.

There can't have been any hard feelings though: the pair married in 2009 and are...still together.

Lea Walker17 of 18

Lea Walker

Lea once claimed to have the biggest boobs in Britain. Ah, mems. The big busted former porn star, who we were HUGE fans of, was evicted on day 51 but returned for three days at the end of the show's run.

Lea presented a radio show with Richard for two years (see above). She now has an OnlyFans account, but she's now brunette (sorry, this is an old pic).

Well, of course we've only included the ones of note. It was hard enough finding information on Jennie, we couldn't face looking up e.g. Bonnie Holt, who was evicted after only nine days.
