Are there any known Alternate or Cut BBUK/CBBUK Housemates?

[Jay28jay2]

So I've been doing a little bit of research on BBUSA and CAN and I've found out that there were some alternate housemates that got replaced last minute, or there were housemates that replaced someone else. I've also seen some occasions where a housemate has been cast on an earlier season, but they got cut but were cast a few years later again. So I was just wondering, are there any known alternate housemates or housemates cut from the casts?

Dawn Ward was meant to be in CBB20 but she pulled out last minute and was replaced by Karthik

Beth Chapman was meant to be in CBB18 but there was something wrong with her Visa and she couldn't come to the UK.

[Gstar]

Sezer and Maxwell were guinea pigs for BB5

Bex (BB9) auditioned for BB7 and you can see a clip of it during BB7 launch

Apparently Michelle BB5 was a last minute replacement as the original person dropped out a day before launch night

Natalie Nunn was meant to be in CBB21 but producers messed her around too much

Lil Kim was meant to be in CBB5 but rejected the offer due to wanting more money. Imagine how different that series would have been..

some guy called Grant was apparently meant to be in bb18
rylan was meant to be in bb8
jim davidson was meant to be in cbb11

[Eddie.]

Pete Benett auditioned to be in BB5, his audition clip was shown on launch night...

Kerry Katona was supposed to be in CBB7, but got placed in CBB8 instead because she failed the psych tests originally...

ROBBED. She would have been my most favourite housemate ever, where did you get this info?

[Matthew.]

boy george was meant to do cbb7 but his parole officer wouldnt let him

[Headie]

Susie was meant to be in BB6(?) I think, and Lea in BB5 but they were both cut for whatever reason (I think Lea's was that she'd been on tv before)

[Headie]

Aaron (BB12) and Rylan were both meant to be in BB8 as well but got cut

Who were the BBCAN replacements and cuts?

10 years later, Sarah actually signs up :joker:

[karl100589]

There was a rumour Bobby Sabel was supposed to be in BB12, but after someone else pulled out last minute he got drafted into the celebrity version.

[LukeB]

Girls Aloud were big back then so Sarah would have been more surprising

The person who made this was shortlisted to be on one of the older civ series but didn’t make the cut. She was tweeting about it a ton, then her twitter was/prob still is suspended for posting songs like this lolol

[Daniel-X]

I know there was meant to be 16 housemates on the BB16 launch but someone pulled out last minute. Heard of a few mentioned previously in here but I think that’s it.

[Daniel-X]

Charlotte & Mandy from BB18 auditioned for BB14 as well. I remember on DS when Emma teased a mother and daughter would enter on the second launch someone posted a thread with their audition tape and pretty much everyone was expecting them.

[Jay28jay2]

Who were the BBCAN replacements and cuts?

Graig (BBCAN3) was meant to be on BBCAN2 but had an injury and was replaced by Jon. Emily (BBCAN5) was also meant to be on BBCAN3 but they found someone else of a similar stereotype I think.

[montblanc]

Bye Susie would of died in BB6 :laugh:

[Jason.]

I think it was the other way round, Susie was a stand-in for BB5 and Lea auditioned for BB6 but they wanted her for BB7 instead.

[Morgan.]

BBCAN2 would've been completely different without Jon - Neda definitley wouldn't have made F3!

[Jason.]

Apparently Nikki and Richard both applied for BB3.

[Ant.]

Apparently Nikki and Richard both applied for BB3.

Nikki confirmed on "In Therapy" that she did indeed apply for BB3

-

I can't remember if Aisleyne applied for BB5 or BB6 but she applied for one before BB7 I believe

Gina was supposed to be in the BB16 Timewarp bunker but was replaced by Helen as Gina wanted more money I believe?

[Eddie.]

To add,
Mark BB12 was one of the potential housemates in the BB11 launch night, but was not chosen by Big Brother or a random draw...
EDIT: Faye from BB12 may also have been in the BB11 housemate shortlist as her descirption is really similar...

[Matthew.]

charlotte was meant to be in bb13, but she turned it down to go travelling

[Jason.]

When Makosi, Michelle and Saskia were rumoured to go into the Timewarp Bunker and we got Brian Belo instead.

[Eddie.]

Chantelle CBB4 was in the shortlist for BB6, producers found her interesting and reserved her for the following celebrity series...

I know! Only a legend!

Finding all these potential/cut housemates are really interesting...

I remember there was a drop-out from the Halfway House in BB8 (not Rylan), which explains the unequal gender ratio...

[Jason.]

Now they just throw any old random who was in the papers once on CBB.

Reminds me of Sinitta demanding somebody watch her sleep...

From the article, David H's wife, Pamela, and Tara Reid appeared on CBB8, and Sarah appeared and won CBB20...

[BBUK-Fan]

A Geordie guy called Grant Coulson who said on This Morning he was too famous to work was allegedly gonna be on BB18 but he might've lied.
Jody Latham pulled out of CBB19
Beth Chapman couldn't do CBB18 due to something with her visa

[Epic.]

Jessica replaced Bear in CBB19

[Jodie.]

Jessica replaced Bear in CBB19

That’s simply just not true really, Bear was never going into CBB19, his contract with CGD wouldn’t let him

[Epic.]

No he was actually meant to go in again but then the contract stopped him. The stuff about the contract only would've come out after he was meant to go in

[montblanc]

mess Kim would've popped a blood vessel with Bear

Bye Susie would of died in BB6 :laugh:

Susie putting a stop to all of the shenanigans before Anthony would have a chance to impregnate Makosi with his finger?

[Gstar]

Susie was a stand-in for BB5
Howling at her attempting to calm Victor down during fight night

[Cal.]

Aisleyne applied for BB6 and she and Sam Brodie were in the guinea pig version of BB7 before it launched and Aisleyne was evicted first and Sam won...which is pretty weird because it went near enough the opposite way in the actual series.

[Cal.]

Big Ang from Mob Wives was meant to do CBB16 but dropped out.

Omarosa revealed on CBBUSA live feeds the other day that she’s been asked to do the show twice, one of the series’ they asked her to do Speidi was in so either CBB11 or CBB19.

[Daniel.]

The thought of Nikki and Jade living in the same house is a cackle.

They would probably fulfil the same role if that makes sense, so they must have thought Jade would have fitted the other housemates in BB3 more than Nikki

Vicki Michelle who?

[Cal.]

Aisleyne turned down UBB too I think to film some movie she was in and wanted more money than was offered to her.

I think in the house Nikki told everyone she found out she hadn’t been cast and was furious or something but I believe Aisleyne’s version of events

[reece(:]

Here for Omarosa doing ours :clap1:

[Marches]

She should’ve been on the uk one I rly don’t like bbus hnggg

[Jamie89]

I think Pete BB7 was meant to be in BB5 (He definitely auditioned and I remember watching a documentary on BB where it was referred to but I can't remember if they just mentioned him auditioning or if he was actually selected then backed out for whatever reason)

Katie Hopkins was in the guinea pig trial of BB1 (imagine if she'd been selected for the main cast... Nasty Nick hew)

[y.winter]

BB10 Siavash/Marcus were meant to go on an early series, I just can't remember which one was it.

[Jay28jay2]

Just found out that apparently Becky Jane from last year was meant to go in with a female colleague and not Keiron, but the producers made her change or something

[Epic.]

Raph auditioned for BB16 and BB17, didn't he?

[glibberglobber]

There was a wheelchair guy for BB7 that got pulled out last minute, hence the ramps.

[Morgan.]

Jessica replaced Bear in CBB19

Phew

[Tony Montana]

Raph auditioned for BB16 and BB17, didn't he?

Him and Joel Both Auditioned together for 16 didn't they? Who would have thought they would both be runners up?

[Matthew.]

Big Ang from Mob Wives was meant to do CBB16 but dropped out.

she would have been brilliant :bawling:

[Epic.]

Him and Joel Both Auditioned together for 16 didn't they? Who would have thought they would both be runners up?

I think he actually made it far enough to be in a waiting room with Joel or something along those lines, since Raph mentioned he met him during the audition process. They probably would've both filled the same role of mild mannered young adults with possibly slight deceptiveness but the producers thought Joel was a more suitable choice for that

[Epic.]

Actually CBB19 could've originally had the most over the top, craziest cast of any CBB. We nearly did get Tiffany, Frenchy, Perez and Jasmine Lennard but Tiffany/Frenchy were busy with other shows, Perez asked for too much funny and Jasmine Lennard made racist tweets. Considering how all 4 of these people got obvious replacement housemates who aren't nearly as good (Calum, Coleen, Jasmine Waltz, James Jordan) it means we potentially could've had an all star line up of

Jedward
Nicola
Speidi
Austin
Tiffany
Frenchy
Perez
Jasmine Lennard

TRAGIC that we almost got the CBB version of BB6</3

[Morgan.]

Well I'm glad we didn't get Frenchy, Perez or Jasmine L :joker:

thank god that ho left

[armand.kay]

do you think they had a few trans girls up their sleeves incase Nadia dropped out? They did milk the whole thing for what it was worth

[Epic.]

Katie CUNTkins was also almost in CBB19 but the only thing stopping her was that she wanted to watch Trump's inauguration instead. :skull:

[Denver]

Lauren Socha quit CBB14 the night before

Both Dog and Beth were denied a visa

Rosanna Davison quit before entering

Sid Owen changed his mind

Neil McDermott and Jay Camerilli quit CBB8 the day before launch and were replaced by Bobby and Lucien

Imagine being replaced by Bobby Sabel

[BBQuest]

I've heard recently that Lorna Bliss (the woman who auditioned in that body stocking on the X-Factor) was due to take part in BB18UK last year, but was accidently leaked to the press and so was replaced. I don't think it was revealed who replaced her, but I assume it was Simone considering both were previous X-Factor rejects and from 2015 onwards, they've always had one in the season.

[glibberglobber]

she would have been brilliant :bawling:

[TeenAngel15]

This thread is absolutely fascinating! Love reading stories like these...
Jamie East revealed in his Reality Check podcast recently that Bobby Brown was waiting in the dressing room before CBB8 but wasn't allowed to go in at the very last minute.

Also that OJ Simpson was due to enter CBB5 but someone at Channel 4 or Endemol got cold feet about letting him in.
