Big Brother (British TV series) series 3

Template:Big Brother endgame Big Brother 3 was the third series of Big Brother UK. The series started on 24 May 2002, ending on 26 July 2002 and the final of this series drew 10.0 million viewers. Votes in the final week totalled 8.6 million

Time line

The third series saw two early walkouts by housemates Sunita and Sandy. Sandy surprised his fellow housemates (as well as the production team) by urinating in a bin, scaling a wall and escaping over a roof while the rest of the housemates watched the England v Nigeria World Cup group game. Sunita was replaced by Sophie, and Sandy by Tim.

For a period, the house was split in two, creating 'rich' and 'poor' houses. Those on one side had more luxuries and better food than those on the other. A weekly task, shown live on Saturday nights, determined which housemates lived on which side of the divide.

Housemates

12 housemates entered the house on Day 1, more than in previous series. On Day 7, Sunita walked and was later replaced with Sophie on Day 10. On Day 20, Sandy escaped by climbing over the roof. Tim replaced him on Day 24.

Adele

Adele Roberts (born 9 March 1979) is a DJ from Southport. She was the first girl to enter the house on Day 1. While in the house, she attracted the attention of both Lee and Alex, only to tell them that she had a girlfriend on the outside. During her time in the house she formed strong bonds with Jade and Alex. On Day 44, she was evicted to a booing crowd. Since leaving the house she has had steady work hosting her own radio show: in 2002, she started presenting "The Smooth Grooves Show" on 97.4 Rock FM. She has recently moved to Galaxy Radio, and presents the late show, Sunday to Thursday 10pm-1am. In 2007, she made a brief return to the house with Alex, during one of the tasks in Big Brother 8.

Alex

Alex Sibley (born 21 March 1979) entered the house on Day 1. He is a model from London. During his time in the house, he was attracted to Adele until he found out that she had a girlfriend on the outside. He is mostly remembered for his obsession with cleanliness and one moment when he hid behind a door, miming the words to KC & The Sunshine Band's hit That's the Way (I Like It). This resulted in him, since leaving the house, appearing in a "Domestos" commercial. He was also the creator of the (now infamous) game "Follow The Van", where a person had to follow a plastic van (from a Sugar Puffs box) around someone's body and kiss wherever it stopped. In an interview, he revealed that he has since lost the van. On Day 64, Alex left the house, finishing in 3rd place. In Big Brother 8, Alex briefly returned to the house after appearing in a "time-traveller" task with fellow housemate Adele, in which two of the then current housemates travelled back to 2002 and completed a series of tasks.

Alison

Alison Hammond (born 5 February 1975) is a travel rep from Birmingham. She entered the house on Day 1. Alison is most remembered for the time where she jumped on a garden table, only for it to break under her weight. While in the house she formed close friendships with Kate and Jonny. Alison was evicted on Day 15. Since leaving the house, Alison has appeared on many television programmes, including losing the most amount of weight on Celebrity Fit Club and losing a challenge on Celebrities Under Pressure. She has also appeared on Celebrity Stars in Their Eyes (performing as Nina Simone), Celebrity Ready Steady Cook, as a panellist on ITV's Loose Women, as a presenter on the short-lived ITV Play channel and in 2004, she played herself in Christmas Lights opposite Robson Green. She now has a full-time presenting job on This Morning.

Jade

While in the house, she grew close to Kate, Alex, Adele and Spencer in particular. On Day 31, she received one strike for talking about nominations. Prior to this, she had received five warnings about her rule-breaking. She argued in the house with Kate, Jonny and Adele. She had a very apparent dislike for housemate Sophie and resented her relationship with Lee. She is most remembered for her lack of general knowledge and quotes such as "Rio De Janeiro - ain't that a person?", "East Angular? That's abroad!" and "Am I minging" (in reference to a verruca on her foot). In 2003, her argument with Adele was publicly voted as the No.1 Best Bit of Big Brother.

She left the house on Day 64, in 4th place, but went on to become the most successful former Big Brother housemate to date. Since leaving the house, she has opened a beauty salon ("Ugly"), starred in numerous reality TV shows, made four fitness DVDs and wrote her autobiography, entitled "Jade: My Autobiography", published by HarperCollins.. In 2004, she returned to the house to appear in Big Brother Panto, with fellow housemates Tim and Spencer, where she played the part of Cinderella. In 2007, she entered the house for a third time, this time for Celebrity Big Brother, but when in the house, her actions cause a media furore on the grounds of racism. In August 2008, she became a contestant in the second series of the Indian version of Big Brother (called "Bigger BossMan"); however, she was forced to leave two days later after discovering she had cancer, which has recently been declared as terminal.
