In January 2005, Jacquie Stalone appeared in Celebrity Big Brother as a "surprise" contestant. She was brought onto the show to create tension within the "house", as her former daughter-in-law Brigitte Nielsen, with whom she notoriously did not get along, was also a contestant. When Jackie entered, Brigitte exclaimed "Oh my God, Jackie!" to which Jackie replied "Yeah, Jackie". She was the first contestant voted out by viewers after spending four days in the house.
