“Katie entered the house in a pilot episode for the first series some 15 years ago way back in 2000.

During her short time in the house, Katie was seen boozing, getting her bum out and generally playing up to the cameras.”

The media kept that one quiet! How is it that this information did not leak for 15 years?

No, they put a few people in the house for a few days before every series I believe, It's essentially a test run for the camera angles, technical issues ect. Better to screw up on a trial than the real thing!
