Most famous housemate ever?

[Maxxie.]

People always say with rumours that they'll be the "most famous ever" but so far who would yoy say actually is that? Looking at who was on I would say Jack Dee or Mark Owen but I'm not sure if they were that famous at the time but who I do know was, was Vinnie Jones so I'm gonna go with him.

Additional question: who's been the most famous so far on c5?

Imo, I think the most famous c5's had would be Evander Holyfield.

Its depends how you judging them

Worldwide Fame
British Fame
Fame in there Market

[Withano]

George Galloway or Jermaine Jackson probably

I reckon british fame, maybe worldwide fame if its massive but not really fame in there market as I cant really think of any examples for that case.

[Maxxie.]

If Katie Price goes in tonight I reckon she could be the most famous c5 hm so far

[Withano]

British fame probably Kerry Katona or Jedward or that bloke from Take That I guess

For instant the models might not be known to the regular viewers but in modelling they will be very famous

Vinnie Jones is much more famous

Oh then definately leave that bit out. British fame but worldwide fame if your like Shilpa Shetty, z-lister in UK but over a billion people worldwide would know her.

Are people actually being serious with this JEDWARD? really?

The most famous british names have been Martin Kemp, Julie Goodyear, Gillian Tayforth, Patsy Kensit, Nadia Sawalha, Julian Clary, Denise Welch, Natalie Cassidy, Stephanie Beecham

All have been on TV for decades and a lot are still current

[Raph]

Vinny jones id say but Katie price is definitely going to be up there too

[Maxxie.]

Oh & what I mean by british names doesn't neccasiraly mean british people. Like jermaine jackson or dirk benedict. Huge in the UK but names like Perez Hilton or The Situation are massive in America but not really known in the UK.

[Kazanne]

Jermain Jackson/Latoya
Gary Busey
Martin Kemp
Mark Owen
Stephanie Beecham

[Denver]

Why do people forget Vinnie Jones?

[Withano]

Vinnie Jones isn't really a household name like the Jacksons, Take That etc/ I'm not sure if Id even put him in the top ten.

A lot of those play famous characters.. I'd say people who are known for themselves, press daily for the things that they did and are known offset and onset are more famous.

I didn't even know most of those peoples names before BB let alone their personality.

The word fame is probably too fluid to answer this question I guess

Your clearly a big soap fan, vinnie or mark not in that list? Or jack dee??

[Niamh.]

George Galloway or Jermaine Jackson probably

I had never heard of George Galloway when he went in, he's only famous in Britain I would say

[Maxxie.]

Vinnie Jones isn't really a household name like the Jacksons, Take That etc/ I'm not sure if Id even put him in the top ten.

Only Jermaine's really that famous, not latoya. Not many people know her & if they do its for being their brother/reality tv/bad mouthing mj in the 90s

[Withano]

Pretty much everyone in Asia though

He is a footballer turned hollywood actor

[Maxxie.]

Apparently, most of the 1 billion muslims in the world know him. The source of this 'Fact' is himself though so im not really sure.

I suppose neither of us can speak for that but I have worked in three countries in Asia and they were very interested to hear about the Royal Family / George Galloway and Tony Blaire

[Niamh.]

Pretty much everyone in Asia though

really, how come? (I still don't know much about him other than he likes cats :smug: )

[Jack The Cat]

Gary Busey, not many people in the world have been nominated for an Oscar. Also if it wasn't for his accident I would guess Gary would have gone on to be even more famous.

You've got to be high or something to think Gary Busey's bigger than Vinnie Jones.

Imo, jedward were probably more famous than most if not all of those people at the time when they went on.

[Raph]

Yeah I still say Vinnie Jones because I remember that was the only time when all my friends knew of a housemate in big brother. Not to mention he was a prick but still managed to come third, probably because of how well-known he was

[jaxie]

Jermaine Jackson (one of the original Jackson 5) and Gary Busey I'd say were probably the most famous. The Jackson 5 were massive in their day and as someone else said not many people in the world are oscar nomimnated. And probably Vinnie Jones who is now a movie star though I cant say I remember him being in the the house.

[Maxxie.]

Im pretty sure Pete Burns deserves a mention anyone?

[karl100589]

What about Barrymore, the guy was Mr Saturday Night during the 1990s and the swimming pool incident was heavily reported.

[Shaun]

I think in terms of worldwide recognition, and sheer numbers, it would probably be Shilpa, but in the western world either Vinnie, Jermaine or Gary.

UK-wise (ignoring those above): Michael Barrymore, Julie Goodyear or Ulrika.

Although Sue Perkins is probably now one of the biggest presenters in showbiz but wasn't at the time, obviously :laugh:

[Pincho Paxton]

Gary Busey

[Chuck]

Evander Holyfield
