The Ultimate Big Brother has begun and what a way to end the reality TV phenomenon that has dominated our screens and lives for the past ten years!

Last night we saw Josie win Big Brother 11 who was then joined by ten other faces from previous shows including Celebrity Big Brother contestants.

The first housemate to enter was former Celebrity Big Brother winner Essex girl Chantelle (who if you remember was the rogue contestant who wasn’t actually a celebrity). In true BB style, it only seemed appropriate to make the situation as awkward as possible for Chantelle to be followed by ex-husband and ex Ordinary Boy Preston. We’ll just have to see how that one pans out!

We then saw Big Brother 5 winner, Portugese transexual Nadia Almada enter the house, followed by Brian Dowling the winner of Big Brother 2 who looked rather uneasy about the whole situation.

Next in was Celebrity Big Brother winner Ulrika Jonsson and hot on her heels was Big Brother 6 housemate Makosi and her somewhat prominent assets. Judging by the reaction on Twitter and the audience, I don’t think anyone was happy to see ‘gross’ and ‘disgusting’ horse racing pundit John McCririck enter the house who was swiftly followed by rapper Coolio.

The next housemate was the one who everyone was waiting for – pocket sized drama queen “It’s so cold!” Nikki Grahame. Nikki told Davina that since the last show she has calmed down and matured, though of course, we’re all hoping that isn’t the case.

The Ultimate Big brother wouldn’t be complete without the contestant who really made the show what it is. Nasty Nick. The Big Brother 1 contestant despite not winning the first ever show, is still the most talked about person of the whole series due to his sneaky and evil ways that got us hooked on Big Brother all those ten years ago.

All the contestants will remain in the house for 18 days whereby one will then be crowned the ‘Ultimate’ Big Brother housemate. Should be an entertaining couple of weeks!
