1 “Nasty” Nick Bateman
Why: The first Big Brother series was won by Craig Phillips but it was Nick who set the direction, lying about his wife being killed in a car crash and getting booted off the show for trying to manipulate housemates’ eviction nominations.

2 Victor Ebuwa
Why: Teamed up with pal Jason Cowan on BB5 to form the Jungle Cats gang and got warned about his role in the infamous Fight Night.

The arch gameplayer, who sparred with the Lipgloss Bitches, said: “I played it like a chess game.”

3 Makosi Musambasi
Why: The drama queen gave fellow housemates and viewers the runaround on BB6, covering up the Secret Garden annex plot and sensationally claiming she was pregnant after a romp in the pool with winner Anthony Hutton.

4 Ziggy Lichman
Why: The memorable hunk famously kept us guessing during his on-off relationship with Chanelle Hayes in BB8. The model even got death threats and was branded a “sly dog” by other housemates.

5 Chantelle Houghton
Why: One of the most popular housemates, Chantelle was also actually one of the biggest manipulators. She convinced the celebs she was a singer with the band Kandy Floss when she was just an ordinary member of the public.

6 Conor McIntyre
Why: Conor settled in as Luke Anderson’s wingman from the start of BB13 and when a task involved them both vying for half the prize money it looked like Conor would let Luke decide the action.

But he pressed the buzzer at the last minute and walked out clutching half the prize money, leaving his mate in tears.

7 Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt
Why: Speidi shook up the CBB house in January 2013 by laying into other contestants, but leaving them guessing whether their bad behaviour was all an act after all.

8 Pete Burns
Why: The lippy star tried to throw his weight around in CBB4 with his acid-tongued jibes at Jodie Marsh and Traci Bingham.

He even had police chasing after him after falsely claiming his coat was gorilla fur.

9 Dexter Koh
Why: Dexter managed to get through 13 weeks of BB14 without once revealing what looked like the true side of his character, fooling housemates and viewers.

10 Jim Davidson
Why: Despite his reputation for controversy, the comedian somehow managed to take the moral high ground while still getting in plenty of barbed comments.

He ended up winning and even his arch-enemy Luisa Zissman was treating him like a father figure.
