Ex-Big Brother housemates back for 'last supper'
Craig Phillips, Anthony Hutton and Pete Bennett are among those who have taken part in a special Big Brother farewell show. The former winners joined other memorable housemates from the show for Big Brother's Last Supper, a special tribute which will be broadcast during the Ultimate Big Brother final in September. Other former champions who took part included Big Brother 4 winner Cameron Stout and Brian Belo from Big Brother 8. Big Brother 2's Naurinder Kaur, Alex Sibley from series three, series five's Marco Sabba and more recent housemates Rex Newmark (BB9), Bea Hamill (BB10) and recent Big Brother 11 evictee Ben Duncan completed the line-up. A spokeswoman said that the programme would reveal all about some of the show's more notorious moments. "As well as examining the phenomenon that is Big Brother, Dermot and the gang discuss the gossip behind the scenes of Big Brother's most memorable moments," she said, "and once and for all, Anthony Hutton answers the greatest BB mystery...what really happened with Makosi in the pool?" However she refused to confirm whether all those taking part in Big Brother's Last Supper would also be taking part in Ultimate Big Brother, which will see former contestants returning to the house for two weeks after the final of the current series.
