Nadia Almada, the winner of Big Brother 2004, also returned for the extended series.
She was followed by television presenter and 2001 winner Brian Dowling, showbusiness personality and 2009 CBB winner Ulrika Jonsson and racing pundit John McCririck.

"Nasty" Nick Bateman who was thrown out of the first series of Big Brother in 2000 for trying to influence votes was the final contestant to join the lineup.
