UBB: Brian Dowling Wins Ultimate Big Brother

Day 94: Brian Dowling was crowned the Ultimate Big Brother housemate with 49.21% of the vote, as Nikki Grahame became runner-up in the very final night of the reality programme.

Brain was shocked at the announcement from Davina McCall saying, "Oh my God!" as he hugged Nikki. Most housemates and polls had predicted that Brian would win, with Davina telling viewers after the phone lines had closed, that Brian Dowling was her favourite housemate of all time. Davina told him that she wanted to see the Irish winner on TV - Brian told her that her people should call his people!

Nikki Grahame proved popular with the crowd and with viewers after gaining 30.28% of the public vote to finish a respectable second place in Ultimate Big Brother.

UBB: Chantelle Finishes Third In Ultimate Big Brother

Day 94: The final Big Brother night continued as Chantelle finished third in Ultimate Big Brother with 20.51% of the vote. Davina McCall got to quiz Chantelle about her renewed friendship with Preston, following their divorce.

Chantelle told Davina she felt like she had gone full circle in her relationship with Preston. Davina told her she had done a good job of trying to hide her feelings from Preston and Davina told her she hoped she would find closure with or without Preston.

UBB: Victor Finishes Fourth In Ultimate Big Brother Final

Day 94: BB5 bad boy housemate 'slick Vic' became the latest housemate to leave the Ultimate Big Brother house with 8.86% of the public vote, hot on the heels of best buddy Nick Bateman. Victor was another housemate that had changed so much since his first appearance on Big Brother. While maintaining his cheeky naughty side, Victor had mellowed out so much and became a pleasure to watch.

Victor finished seventh last time and told Davina that his game plan was to survive as long as he could and would have liked to have finished one or two places higher.

UBB: Nick Bateman Finishes Fifth In Ultimate Big Brother

Day 94: Nasty Nick Bateman finished a respectable fifth place in the Ultimate Big Brother Final and finally got to meet Davina McCall at the front door rather than in a secret location ten years prior.

The notorious housemate has been renamed 'Nice Nick' by his fellow housemates as he seems to have shed that nasty image tagged to his name from BB1. He received 5.72% of the public vote to win Ultimate Big Brother.

UBB: Ulrika And Preston Evicted From Ultimate Big Brother

Day 94: The first two housemates evicted from the Ultimate Big Brother house were Ulrika and Preston. Davina McCall was on hand to quiz Preston about his relationship with Chantelle. Davina had to remind him not to swear!

Neither Ulrika nor Preston had ever been favourites to win Ultimate Big Brother but the pair had helped provide entertainment in the house in two totally different ways. Ulrika certainly stirred emotions in other housemates and totally got involved in all the Tasks, while Preston was great to watch along side Chantelle.

Preston received just 1.95% of the public vote to win UBB, with Ulrika getting even less. Could we have a clear winner tonight? Tune in to find out!

UBB: Housemates Get Letters From Home From Davina

Day 93: Housemates were left in tears as Davina McCall entered the Ultimate Big Brother house and read each of them a letter from home. The highlights can be seen on tonight's earlier programme at 8pm on Channel 4.

The Tree of Temptation also had Davina McCall close to tears after setting her the secret task of telling each housemate they were her favourite, just before she read them their letter.

The letters were from friends, family and loved ones and the gang could barely contain their blubbering as Nikki, Ulrika, Brian and Nick all shed a tear while the rest were definitely choked up.

Nikki was upset that she hadn't heard from her sister in the letter while Ulrika misses her husband. Brian heard from his nephew and Nick his wife and the duo wiped dry their watery eyes.

Davina departed the House after spending an hour inside the UBB house and was herself welling up as the emotions of the impending end of the Ultimate Reality series began to hit home.

UBB: Ultimate Big Brother Double Eviction Results

Day 92: A late night Double Eviction saw the end for two Ultimate Big Brother housemates as Michelle Bass and Vanessa Feltz were evicted.

Michelle Bass was the first out at 11:20pm with 39.3% of the vote, the crowd cheered the housemate, a far cry from her BB5 eviction. This time around Michelle had won over the public with her more mellow performance within the UBB house. In her eviction interview with Davina McCall, Michelle told how she had grown up and was embarrassed when shown BB5 footage. She said she was privileged to be part of Ultimate Big Brother.

Vanessa Feltz survived six days in the Ultimate Big Brother house, a new personal record as the CBB1 housemate made her exit from the house to loud cheers. She remained upbeat in her eviction interview, saying she was in a much better place in her life. Vanessa had 31.3% of the public vote and had her eviction interview interrupted as a man climbed over the barrier and was quickly floored by security. As he was carried away the crowds booed the man. Vanessa commented that you have to expect the unexpected with Big Brother!

Nick Bateman survived the Double Eviction and made it to the Ultimate Big Brother Final on Friday. He had 29.4% of the public vote and will join Ulrika, Brian, Nikki, Chantelle, Preston and good mate Victor in the very last Big Brother Final.

UBB: Ultimate Big Brother Double Eviction Results

Day 88: The bookies had predicted Makosi would be evicted from the Ultimate Big Brother house, and with 47.7% of the public vote she made her exit from the house. A roar of boos from the crowd could be heard as music played, but the African housemate remained upbeat during her interview with Davina McCall.


The second housemate to face the chop during the Double Eviction, was BB5 winner Nadia Almada. She received 33.2% of the vote after making herself unpopular during the week with arguments and outbursts. The final argument had been with Ulrika, complaining because of a broken plate. It seems that the voting public did not take to her diva moments as well during Ultimate Big Brother as they did during her time in the BB5 house.

BB11 VIDEO: Josie Wins Big Brother 11

Day 77: Josie won the Final of Big Brother 11 and this is the video of her as she meets Davina McCall and the crowds outside the house. Watch her reactions as the reality that she has won after 77 days in the BB11 house. Her victory was also watched by 4m viewers, although Josie was soon back inside the house for Ultimate Big Brother!

BB11: Big Brother Final

Day 77: Josie Gibson was crowned the winner of Big Brother 11, with an impressive 77.5% of the public vote. Winning a £100,000, Josie told Davina she would give £20,000 to charity. She became one of the greatest housemates ever as she entertained the nation with her straight talking and simple ways. Viewers became addicted to the relationship between Josie and John James as it grew over the summer, although at times the relationship became quite fiery!

Crowds cheered as she was interviewed by Davina McCall, who told her she was beautiful on the inside and outside. John James was on hand to hug and kiss her before she re-entered the house for Ultimate Big Brother.

Who would have thought Dave could have finished second in BB11? Normally the religious housemates are annoying but Dave managed to win the housemates over and us with his weird and wonderful ways. Talking about the glory didn't put us off as we got to know the Welshman more and more. He proved he was up for a laugh and didn't shirk away from the tasks set by Big Brother. With 9.1% of the public vote, Dave was able to leave the house with his head held high - he did himself proud.

Mario entered the Big Brother house as a mole and left BB11 in third place, after having a roller coaster journey during his 77 days in the house. No other housemate had so many highs and lows as Mario and no other housemate got so naked as Mario. He received 5.1% of the vote and Davina asked him if he was really a nudist at heart after discussing his large left testicle. Mario said that he wasn't a nudist and he was shocked Big Brother showed his nude stunts.

JJ finished fourth on 4.5% of the public vote, just ahead of Andrew. He entered the house on Day 45 after being picked by the other housemates, as one of three new housemates. He quickly became friends with John James and caught the eye of Corin, but things turned sour very quickly between JJ and Corin.


Andrew came fifth with just 3.9% of the public vote and was greeted by the cheering crowd and a warm smile. The geek proved to be a winner in the house after arriving on Day 31 and coming out of his shell to become a great housemate to watch as he gave 100% during each task.

BB11: Twelfth Housemate Evicted From Big Brother

Day 73: It was a battle to for the last place in the Big Brother final between Dave and John James, but as the booing from the crowd indicated it was John James who got booted from BB11.

The Aussie housemate became the fourth housemate of the evening to be evicted and it came as no surprise after his arguments and strops throughout the week. John James got a massive 34.2% of the public vote in the eight way eviction.

BB11: Eleventh Housemate Evicted

Day 73: The second big shock of the evening came as the eleventh evicted housemate came in the form of Sam Pepper. He only joined the BB11 house three weeks ago and certainly spiced up the series but he failed to make it to Tuesday's final. You either loved him or hated him, but it was impossible to ignore him.

Sam was expected to make it to the final and even the bookies favoured the graffiti artist not so long ago. Sam had been in 2nd place in our poll to win the series, but ultimately it was the public who had the choice and they voted him out with just 14.6%.

BB11: Tenth Housemate Evicted

Day 73: The second housemate of the evening to be evicted from the Big Brother house came as a total surprise as Corin became the latest housemate to leave the house before Tuesday's final. She told housemates she was "lovin' it" . Mario became the latest housemate to make it to the BB11 final.

During the interview with Davina, Corin was told her partner had not dumped her but wanted to talk things through with her. Corin told Davina that she wanted John James to be evicted next from the house. Corin received 20.6% of the public vote this week.

*BB official website: www.channel4.com/bigbrother

BB11: Steve Evicted From Big Brother

Day 73: Steve became the first of four housemates to be evicted from the Big Brother house tonight. Davina McCall spoke to the housemates and told Andrew that he would be through to the final, while Steve was not so lucky with 9.8% of the public vote.

The Baron had been the early favourite to win the series but failed to impress the viewers during the series. During his interview with Davina, Keeley came on the phone and spoke to Steve, the first time the Baron and Baroness had been reunited since her sudden departure.

BB11: Josie Makes Wins Pass To Big Brother Final

Day 67: Josie was shocked and delighted to find out she would be in the final of Big Brother 11 after housemates were given just 1 minute to select a housemate most deserving of a place in the final. Davina McCall shocked housemates by delivering the news that the final will take place sooner than they thought - Tuesday 24th August.

Andrew suggesting that they vote in a similar way to when they had chosen Jo, JJ and Laura to enter the house three weeks ago. Going around the group, there were occasional hand raises for Mario, Corin and JJ, with most housemates raising their hands for Josie. Josie will now be in the final and have a chance of staying in the house to compete in Ultimate Big Brother with previous BB housemates and celebrities.

BB11: Jo Evicted From Big Brother

Day 66: Jo became the eighth person to be evicted from the Big Brother house. The Cougar had 39.4% of the public vote as she battled against JJ, Dave and Sam to stay in the BB11 house. The bookies had predicted Jo would go and our very own poll had over 50% choosing The Cougar.

Although Jo only spent three weeks inside the BB11 house, she tried to live up to her title, yet the house lacked prey - so this cougar had to go without! Jo found it hard too fit in with the other housemates, most had already formed groups or friendships and Jo was always going to be an outsider because she was slightly older.

She told Davina that she would have been closer to Josie, but John James came between them. Jo was quick to praise Josie and said she hoped she would go on to win Big Brother.

BB11: Rachel Evicted From Big Brother

Day 59: Rachel became the seventh housemate to be evicted from the Big Brother house with 58.5% of the public vote. Her exit from BB11 was certainly a lively one as the official video below shows. She lapped up the music and crowds as she made her way out of the Big Brother house into the waiting arms of Davina McCall. No-one could ever say Rachel didn't throw herself into the Tasks set by Big Brother, we'll always remember her singing during the BB High 'Don't Stop Believing' Task!
