How Britain went Big Brother bonkers 25 years ago as ten ordinary people changed face of TV –  so what happened to them?

A SKATEBOARDING nun, a pantomime villain who became Britain's most hated man and a cheeky, muscleman builder. All thrown into a dystopian world of surveillance, with the most instantly recognisable theme tune of modern times. 13 Nick Bateman THEN: City stockbroker NOW: Capitalised on his new nickname, writing the book Nasty Nick: How To Be A Right B****rd and starring in panto.

Imported from Holland , this novel formula would pit an initial ten housemates against one another in a constantly monitored compound. And, within days, our nation and many parts of its media were hooked on this fresh Orwellian TV triumph. The internet had started to take a chokehold on our lives, READ MORE TV NEWS This never-before-seen social experiment would play a starring role in killing off the Cool Britannia movement that had swept through the nation and its media during the previous decade. And on the evening of July 18, 2000, this group of strangers — chosen from 40,000 applicants — exploded on to our plasma screens from a heavily fortified East London house. As they lived alongside cameras scrutinising their every move, the country, in increasing numbers, could not resist a nose and a poke at these everymen and women competing for the £70,000 prize money . Big Brother certainly dominated my life as the Millennium Bug failed to materialise and the 21st century's first summer dawned. Most read in News TV Hi-tech awakening As the then Showbiz Editor of The Sun, I was immediately drawn to this addictive, creative innovation and spotted its potential to spark media debate. And I felt we should try to take ownership of this visual phenomenon and give it unrivalled coverage. Celebrity Big Brother's Sexiest Moments! When we called ourselves 'The official paper of Big Brother', it prompted a series of irate calls from Channel 4 HQ. As coverage ballooned, so did the newspaper's sales and website traffic, with the average TV audience rating also rising to 4.5million. Britain was growing obsessed with a buff Scouse builder called All packaged together with the soothing Online forums were ignited by forensic analysis of the show, while this paper splashed with the disparate household's twists and turns, relegating coverage of the stuttering Britpop bands and pushing them down the news agenda. The era-defining Big Brother inmates may not have possessed the creative talents of our celebrated, most recent working-class artistic wave. But they came from the same towns and cities, and in their own way, certainly in the first series, embodied a generation of normal people with a curiosity and drive for success and fortune. Big Brother is such a well-trodden formula now but we must remind ourselves of its originality, its technological innovation and deviousness, aped by Love Island and triggering a celebrity spin-off which never measured up to the OG. 13 Nichola Holt THEN: Art teacher NOW: Aged 53.

That hadn't happened before. It was a visual and hi-tech awakening and we felt like we were glimpsing a dystopian future . It was perhaps an uncanny insight into the modern world which we inhabit today, where we ourselves are continually monitored and scrutinised by CCTV and tracked online. In later series, contestants knew the drill and came in as rehearsed and unlikeable wannabes with agendas and agents, focused on carving out media careers and boosting numbers on their social platforms. But in series one, there was a boundless innocence and unknown; a ragtag bunch of unsuspecting people thrown together randomly. That's what made it electric. The first-wave Big Brother collective was a diverse celebration of all that was great about modern Britain, despite sneering cynics claiming the opposite. And Britons have always loved twitching their net curtains, peering over fences and gossiping. Big Brother gave us the ability to do that 24/7 via a revolutionary live feed, forums and episodes which were edited and screened within 24 hours. It felt so live, in and of the moment. And the drama of witnessing unscripted manipulation and argument was breathtaking and unprecedented. Edges of the seat were fully occupied. We all assumed that the box office moment would be if some of the contestants had The original Dutch show had sparked national debate and spiked media scrutiny when a couple slipped under the covers. There was one moment when grainy monochrome images of ultimate victor Craig Phillips and Claire Strutton in bed together emerged, but it wasn't definitive, although it did prompt the memorable headline 'Duvet do it or not?'. However, in the build-up to the show's premiere, there had been a key event — when its producer Ruth Wrigley noticed that, despite the diversity of the selected contestants, something was amiss. She recalled: 'As we got close to signing off on the cast, we realised that the one thing we were missing was a white, heterosexual, posh male. 'Nick was our last choice and we weren't really that sure. He ticked a box. Which goes to show how little control you really have!' Hysterical frenzy As his scheming, Machiavellian strategy was revealed — attempting to influence housemates' votes by showing them names on pieces of paper — he became the most hated man in Britain, for a sunny week or two, at least. 13 Anna Nolan THEN: Former nun NOW: Became a TV presenter.

Aged 50, owns nightclubs in Gibraltar and Essex Credit: Channel 4 In a hysterical frenzy of speculation, there were also unsubstantiated claims that Nick had smuggled a Motorola flip-phone into the house in his undercrackers and was receiving outside intelligence. Myself and colleague Derek Brown suffered logistical headaches and high expense while masterminding the hiring of a miniature helicopter to drop leaflets into the compound, encouraging housemates to evict Nick. It was all rather silly and, these days, would be so much cheaper and simpler with a drone. Nick was challenged by his fellow housemates about cheating and he was removed from the house by producers after 34 days, with Craig dubbing his strategy 'a very dirty plot'. In retrospect, it wasn't exactly the crime of the century but that moment of confrontation was the most intoxicating TV of our lives. Alas, the show was never quite as captivating after the pantomime villain's exit. Nick's soundbite utterances of 'I made a mistake' and 'If you live by the sword, you die by the sword' became engrained in popular culture and mimicked in pubs and offices across the land. Scouse builder But he would not take part again, admitting in a recent interview: 'Over the years, people would stop me in the street and say, 'I've applied for Big Brother, what advice would you give me?'. "And I would look at them and go, 'Don't do it!'. 'We'd gone in not really expecting much, but we all got a lot from it. There was no social media then. 'But today, you need to be strong enough to accept you could come out very badly from it. It's a dangerous position to be in. Fame and fortune do not go hand in hand.' Not long ago, I interviewed Nick from his new home in Australia, and he reflected: 'Late-night Channel 4 was kind of what you watched when you got back from the pub, drunk. 'It was an experiment and I didn't think anything would come of it because I didn't think anyone would find it interesting watching ten ordinary British people, who didn't know each other, sitting around in a house. 'There was never an urge to be famous. No one had any idea and that was what made the first series unique. 'Nobody had aspirations to be a magazine writer or an Instagram model. That's where our show had that sweet puerility. 'Emotional terrorism' 'I'd realised this was a gameshow with prize money. How I played the game, in retrospect, was very innocent but caused a furore. 'I was just using emotional terrorism to further my stay in the house and to win the money.' Following his eviction, there was a media feeding frenzy for the now infamous Nick's exclusive story. 13 Darren Ramsay THEN: Meeter and greeter NOW: Dabbled in TV work before joining a research company.

Now 56 and living in Cornwall with own property company Credit: PA:Press Association I secured an exorbitant deal after fierce negotiations with his new-found agent and we were soon holed up together in a hotel in Bagshot, Surrey . In a haze of late-night cigarettes and alcohol, we talked about Nick's boarding school education, his family and his new status as Britain's Mr Nasty. His revelations were splashed across the front pages over the following days and sales went up by north of 100,000 a day as Britons devoured the words of the nation's most detested - and most famous — man at that moment. It's neither hyperbole nor exaggeration to suggest the country had gone Big Brother bonkers. The media circus was absolutely unprecedented and would have made George Orwell lunge for the gin. But it showed the powerful impact of the format. Coincidentally, around that time, I had been invited to the glittering Leicester Square premiere of Guy Ritchie's riotous gangster film Snatch and reckoned it might be a wheeze to bring Nick out of hiding to accompany me. We arrived in style in a chauffeur-driven SUV, he clad in a Sun baseball cap, which was the least he could do after the money we had made him. As we lingered in the foyer, Brad Pitt, Guy — about to marry Madonna at the time — and footballer-turned-actor And The Sun's expert photographer Dave Hogan captured a moment in time, when A-list celebrity collided with reality TV's new-found superstar. This was a symbolic image, encapsulating a snatched, fleeting clash of popular culture. Hollywood's elite knew the identity of a dazed former City boy, who had been unknown and jettisoned into a televisual laboratory only weeks before. The image graced Page One the following day under the headline: ' It cemented Big Brother's status as the pre-eminent, cutting-edge entertainment innovation of the age, which thrust reality television on to the front pages of Britain's media alongside Hollywood royalty. 13 Craig and Claire in bed, which prompted the headline: Duvet Do It Or Not?

I've got 11 kids and all their names start with letter A including my girl called Answer – trolls say they'll be teased

COMING up with one name you love can be hard enough as a parent, let alone 12. But this couple have revealed the unique monikers they gave to their bumper brood - and they all start with the letter A. 2 The mum shared her kid's names in a viral TikTok video Credit: Tiktok/@thecollinskids 2 People had mixed reactions to their unique monikers Credit: Tiktok/@thecollinskids Karissa Collins, 42, from the US, went viral on In the clip, which has amassed over 10 million views, the mum stood with one of her youngest as they went through the whole family sharing their names, There was: Anchor, Anthem, Anderson, Answer, Aniston, Anisa, Angelie, Angel, Andre, Arrow and Armor. But after sharing the unique names people on TikTok weren't so sure what to make of them. READ MORE ON BABY NAMES Many thought the kids would grow up to be bullied because of their names, whilst others praised the mum for going outside the box with her choices. "They're going to get teased for those names later on, just cruel really," one person commented. "What's happening here? I had to listen again just to make sure I heard it right," a second wrote. "Bro just picked up a dictionary and started naming them in order," someone else joked. Most read in Fabulous "Anchovies was in the bathroom during filming," another joked. Others shared some other name suggestions for the mum, poking fun at her seemingly random A-names. Love Islander reveals US reality show girlfriend is pregnant with their first child together with romantic photoshoot "Armadillo, Alopecia, Avocado," one said. Meanwhile, others suggested: "Ancestor, Ambulance, Alphabet, Acne, Algorithm." Not everyone hates the names though, as one person said: "I love them, stunning children too." "You have a beautiful family," another chimed in. This isn't the first time the mum has faced backlash online though, as trolls roasted her when she revealed she'd been pregnant 15 times since the age of 25 and has barely had a break from baby bumps in nearly two decades. One again posting on the account Karissa and her husband, who've been married for 18 years, welcomed their first child back in their mid-20s and haven't looked back since. Karissa first became a mum at the age of 25, and has subsequently been pregnant when she was 27, 28, 29, 31, 32, 34, 35, 36, 39 and 40. She's also suffered three Now, with over 700,000 followers tuning in for a glimpse into her busy, bustling household, Karissa is unapologetic about her life choices and even encourages other women to take the leap into big family life. She said: 'It's not that scary. I promise you will figure it out. And it honestly gets easier. You don't have to keep your hands to yourself! Have all the babies and live with no regrets.' But while many cheer her on from the side-lines, Karissa also faces brutal backlash from trolls who claim her lifestyle is harmful, not just to her, but to her kids. One commenter raged: 'This is not okay – you barely have enough time for each child to get your attention. It's not even funny anymore, I feel bad for the kids.' Another slammed: 'You're hurting your kids by continuing to take attention away from them. No human can give the same amount of love to 12 different kids unless they never sleep.' Others accused the couple of only having children for content, saying the older kids must be doing the bulk of the work around the house. Still, Karissa isn't fazed. For her, motherhood isn't just a lifestyle, it's a calling. Banned Names in the UK The UK has no law restricting names, but names that contain obscenities, numerals, misleading titles, or are impossible to pronounce are likely to be rejected when registering a child.

Real reason behind Gwyneth Paltrow and Madonna's epic fallout revealed as explosive new book lifts lid on actress's life

Practically joined at the hip during the Nineties, Gwyneth Paltrow and Madonna were once the closest BFFs in Hollywood. Now an explosive new book has claimed to have uncovered the reason why the pair had an epic fallout — with the outspoken singer shouldering the blame.

Author Amy Odell writes: 'Madonna insisted Gwyneth and Martin join her for a big group dinner at a long table where Madonna went off on her daughter, Lourdes. 'Gwyneth and Martin were disgusted by the behaviour.' According to Gwyneth: The Biography, Coldplay frontman Chris branded Madonna 'awful' and told his wife: 'I can't be around this woman any more.'

The apparent fallout between the A-listers became part of showbiz legend in the years that followed. 'I can ice people out and harbour revenge' Before the alleged holiday row, the close pals had attended Kabbalah classes together and told how they supported each other.

'She gives me good advice about how to say no and take care of myself.' Gwyneth Paltrow 'mocks Meghan AGAIN' in Instagram cooking video as 'war to be US lifestyle queen' rages on They then became increasingly distant in the years that followed, with Gwyneth, 52, seemingly excluding Madonna, 66, from her inner circle and spending more time with other stars including Beyonce and Jay-Z. In a 2010 interview with Vogue, Gwyneth all but confirmed she and Madonna were no longer pals when she made a reference to celebrity personal trainer Tracy Anderson, who used to work with them both. Advertisement Gwyneth said: 'It's good that [Tracy] doesn't train Madonna any more. It was too much. She keeps people waiting — it takes up your whole day.' She later admitted: 'Oh yes, I can be mean. I can cave in to gossip. I can ice people out and I definitely harbour revenge.' The Oscar-winner's spat with the Hung Up singer is not the only bombshell revelation from the book. Gwyneth's relationship with her ex Brad Pitt is also explored by author Odell, who says she conducted 220 interviews with 'close current and former friends and colleagues'. Advertisement Her book reveals Gwyneth started hooking up with Brad on the set of 1995 crime thriller Se7en, where he had requested she play his wife. But trouble started brewing after Gwyneth, who led a privileged life and was educated privately, struggled with Brad's working-class roots.

The book brutally details what appears to be Gwyneth's disdain for their different worlds. Advertisement She is reported to have said: 'Brad and I had very different upbringings. 'So when we go to restaurants and order caviar, I have to say to Brad, 'This is beluga and this is osetra.'' It was after Gwyneth was cast in the movie adaptation of Jane Austen's book Emma in 1996 that she is said to have admitted to having doubts about their relationship. The film received rave reviews, and despite Gwyneth agreeing to marry Brad three months after it came out, she is said to have cried over whether their relationship was right. Advertisement They seemed threatened by each other, based on whom Gwyneth was favouring in a given moment Amy Odell The biography recalls how Gwyneth would sob to her friend and make-up artist Kevyn Aucoin 'multiple times' over the fact Brad 'wanted to be with her, but seemed to feel threatened by her success and all the attention she received.' Kevyn is said to have told Gwyneth: 'You really need to end this'. Odell's book also claims Gwyneth 'expressed doubts' about their romance and 'admitted she had a crush on Hugh Grant'. The pair split in 1997, with Gywneth later saying in 2015: 'I wasn't ready, and he was too good for me.' Advertisement Gwyneth's on-off three-year relationship with Those close to Gwyneth said she fell for his 'intellect' but said her friends were worried because he was 'more interested in playing video games with the guys at his house'. 7 Gwyneth: The Biography by Amy Odell is out on July 31st The book also claims he cheated on her, with Odell writing: 'Their physical chemistry couldn't overcome his self-destructive impulses, which may have even included cheating on her.' Advertisement Shocking claims are also made about Gwyneth's temperament — including as boss of wellness brand Goop, which she launched in 2008. Author Odell claims 'executives struggled to navigate Gwyneth's impatience and perfectionism.' She wrote: 'They seemed threatened by each other, based on whom Gwyneth was favouring in a given moment (and she made it clear). 'Employees who worked up the nerve to go into her office were often met with impatience, an attitude of 'What do you want? Get it over with.'' Advertisement Another tale recalls 'leadership team meetings' where Gwyneth would bring in specialists to hold 'self-improvement workshops' with their teams. 'Ralph Lauren was not happy about the fit' Odell writes: 'At one such meeting, a facilitator asked the executives to take turns saying one thing they believed to be true about themselves but wasn't true of anybody else in the room. 'When it was Gwyneth's turn, she said with a smile, 'I won an Oscar.' 'Her team's reaction amounted to a playful 'Gwyneth, f**k off.'' Advertisement Odell's sources also claim Gwyneth clashed with Ralph Lauren over her gown for the 1999 Oscars where she won Best Actress for Shakespeare In Love. According to the book, Gwyneth said she wanted the design to be 'inspired by Grace Kelly' and that she had wanted 'the neckline lower and lower'. It's claimed famed designer Ralph became 'frustrated' after Gwyneth lost weight and came close to refusing to send the dress to Los Angeles for the fitting. The biography claims: 'The designers at Ralph Lauren noticed that something looked off when she wore it that night. Advertisement 'The fabric was puckering, a little wrinkly, loose around her torso — as if she had instantly lost ten pounds. 'They realised she hadn't worn the inner detachable corset that came with the gown, which would have made it fit more snugly. Lauren was not happy about the fit.' Gwyneth's marriage to Chris Martin is also examined in the book, with those close to the actress describing him as an 'introvert who could be socially awkward'. They also claim she was 'seduced by his persona'. Advertisement Gwyneth and Chris married in December 2003 and had daughter Apple, 21, and son Moses, 19. They split in 2014, with Gwyneth coining the now infamous phrase 'consciously uncoupling.' But Odell claims that the couple 'had separated a year earlier' to give themselves the chance to work through the break-up. Using Goop as the platform to announce the split was, apparently, also meticulously planned. Advertisement The book says of Gwyneth: 'While she privately struggled to generate optimism about the separation, she found a way to do it publicly, to turn this painful, confusing failure into a project that might inspire and illuminate — and maybe boost the brand.' That brand, Odell claims, is now being handed down to Gywneth and Chris' daughter Apple — who is studying Law, History, and Society at Vanderbilt University in Nashville, Tennessee. It is claimed Apple has a 'genuine interest' in the brand. Gwyneth's agent Richard Lovett says: 'She's not going to be the next [Gwyneth], but she will be the original Apple.'
