Apparently Marcus, Charlie and Rodrigo were used in BB9 to test how h/mates would get along with each other, but not deemed good enough to put into the actual series!

Not sure if it's true or not , just thought I would share it with you!

It's pretty common for housemates to have taken part in previous BB tests etc Siavash also said this was his third try at getting into the house.

It's been mentioned every year as housemates often let it slip - it's just that the Sun have decided to make some 'sensationalist b0ll0cks' out of it this time

A lot of the contestants will have auditioned for other reality shows too (Noirin even appeared in one)

True but I work nights and I need to sleep more before reading the 'tabloids' rubbish!

When Charlie first came into the house on launch night, he was, quite obviously, already familiar with Marcus and Rod.

Wow thats quite interesting really.
I would think that Charlie and Rodrigo built a friendship as they are quite close now, Marcus and Charlie probably didnt get on last year as they dont talk much to each other.

Also it woould og been VERY intresting to see if they were in BB9 and where they were placed.

Charlie would defenitley have been in the Sylvia/Jen/Dennis/Stuart/Dale/Luke and Bex group.

Marcus would have defenitley been in B-Block with Rachel, Rex and Kat.

Rodrigo would be in the middle or in Sylvia's group, I doubt he would have been in B-Block.
