I'd say Josie Gibson is the last regular housemate to be put alongside housemates from the first 7 series. Even then it's probably because of the whole 'last ever' series giving the show one last boost in the media spotlight.

I'd say it stops as BB8, personally. I made a thread the other day about how it feels weird to me that 8 followed 7 and 9 followed 8, I think BB9 is where BBUK truly entered the last phase of its life, it was still relatively popular in BB8.
'Well known' as in if you mentioned their name, or gave a little prompt about their personality, people would know they were from Big Brother. So while people may know who Kate Lawler, Allison Hammond and Sam Pepper are, I bet hardly anyone knows they were in Big Brother. The list I made is people's names who I believe people would most associate with Big Brother, basically the faces of the show.
Nikki comes first (discounting Jade) and then Pete by association and because he was well loved, and then Belo's countless appearances on television shows after Big Brother would have cemented him in the minds of many people as 'that idiot from Big Brother' or something, IMO. Dowling for his media career and as for the other names mentioned in this thread (Makosi, Nadia) I genuinely think they'd only be known by Big Brother fans past and present, not the general population.
