Nikki Grahame has spent the most days in the house at 102 days, Amanda and Sam and Carole from BB8 are second on 94 days. Aisleyne will become joint second if she is still in the house on Day 56 of BB16 (6th July).
Chris Eubank is the housemate to have spent the least days in the house. He was evicted on Day 2 of Celebrity Big Brother 1.
BB1, BB2, BB3 and BB4 are the shortest main series to air (64 days) and BB8 is the longest at (94 days). According to Chloe's "we have 18 days left" comment a few days ago BB16 will also last 64 days with an end date of 14 July, but that is to be confirmed.
This summer Big Brother 16 will be followed by Celebrity Big Brother 16. In January the number of series of Celebrity Big Brother will outnumber the number of series of Big Brother for the first time.
Davina McCall has presented 19 series (Big Brother 1-11, Celebrity Big Brother 1-7, Ultimate Big Brother), Emma Willis has presented 7 series (Big Brother 14-16, Celebrity Big Brother 12-15), Brian Dowling has presented 6 series (Big Brother 12-13, Celebrity Big Brother 8-11) and Dermot O'Leary has presented 2 series (Teen Big Brother and Big Brother: Celebrity Hijack.
There have been 9 male winners of Big Brother and 6 female winners, there have also been 9 male winners of Celebrity Big Brother and 6 female winners. Ultimate Big Brother was also won by a male, as was Teen Big Brother though there was no public vote.
The most recent series of both Big Brother and Celebrity Big Brother were both won by women, and both ones before were won by men.
Brian Dowling is the only housemate to have won the show twice (Big Brother 2 and Ultimate Big Brother).
Nikki Grahame has been in the house as a competitor 3 separate times (twice in BB7 and once in Ultimate Big Brother). She returned as a guest for two weeks in BB16, her fourth overnight appearance. Her best placing was 2nd in Ultimate Big Brother where she beat three former winners in a public vote (Nadia in a vote to evict, Chantelle and Ulrika in a vote to win) .
The highest eviction percentage is Nicole's in BB9 with 94.04%, Sezer from BB7 is second with 91.6%. Both went out in 3 way evictions, although in the Channel 4 days head to head eviction were far more common.
The highest rating in the history of Big Brother UK was the final of Big Brother 3 in 2002, which got 10 million viewers. The highest rating in Celebrity Big Brother history was the second eviction of CBB5 in 2007, which got 8.78 million viewers in the middle of a racism controversy. Jade Goody left the house on both of these evenings. Jade was the first person to be a housemate in two different series, was the only person to be a housemate in both Big Brother and Celebrity Big Brother, was the first person to be a housemate with a relative (her mother) and was the first housemate to pass away.

As to the smallest, I think it's still BB1 (Craig 51%; Anna 49%). Channel 5's statement suggests Helen's victory over Ashleigh was also a tight one. Obviously we don't have proper numbers for BB12 or BB14.
I put together a thread on money (prize fund or other) given to the HMs. Since creating it Sam Evans and Helen Wood have received £100,000 each and Mark Byron received £5,000. (I think that's it.)
No, the highest was Josie (BB11) who received 77.5% in the final 5 - the competition was awful, though!
Also Sophie (BB10) had pretty much the same as Nadia - 74.4% to Siavash's 25.6%
I'm just slightly out of date then.
Those were pretty disappointing finals.
He found himself at 80/1 on opening night and had the worst odds of any housemate that year.
Kinga is also the finalist in BB who spent the shortest amount of time in the house: 15 days in total.
In normal BB, the shortest lived HM was Isaac Stout who lasted just 48 hours.
Ashleigh and Helen were the first, in any incarnation of ukBb all-female final 2.
I'm sure I'll think of more!
Another I thought of a while back, is that besides the BB7, BB8, BB14 and BB15 finals, 4 in 4 out had the most people leave the house in one night - 5 people left the house that night!
The first housemate to walk happened during series 3.
The highest number of housemates to leave on their own accord happened in both series 10 and 11. Both series saw 4 housemates walk but there were no ejections.
The highest number or ejections happened during series 5 and 9. Both had to eject 2 housemates (series 9 also had 1 walker)
Series 2 and 4 had no walkers or ejections.
I am pretty sure the lowest is BB16: 2 out of 16.
A male has NEVER been voted out first iin regular BB
a) more than 1000
b) Less than 1000
c) less than 100
Oh that reminds me - Amy & Sally are the only BB or CBB twins to not make the final.
She has lived with a total of 62 different people in Big Brother. She missed out on living with Jonathan in BB7, the first 9 people to leave BB16 and Paige in BB Canada 4, she has lived with Aisleyne twice - once in BB7 and again in BB16. She also lived with Mikey, Lea and Grace twice - both in BB7.
Nikki has had 5 main appearances
BB7 - Evicted week 8.
BB7 - Voted back by in viewers during week 12, finished in 5th place in week 13
Ultimate Big Brother - finished in 2nd place on day 18
BB16 - Entered as a guest at the start of week 5, left at the end of week 6.
BBCanada 4 - Voted in by viewers at the beginning of week 2, is currently competing and is safe from week 4's eviction
8 appearances overall if you count the paparazzi task in CBB, the BB10 anniversary task and as part of the many people that went in during the premiere task in BB12 as well
I know that this is the case in terms of percentages but I wonder, in terms of actual votes cast if it might, have been Stuart ( BB2) because he had 86 % of the vote - and of course the viewing then was much bigger.
I cannot find out the actual amount but it must have been a lot - it is a moot point.
Is this still correct? Tila Tequila was ejected from the Celebrity Big Brother house during CBB16 on Day 2? I wonder who spent the least amount of time in there?
