There were 16 housemates in total in the sixth series of Big Brother in the UK where they were observed by television viewers 24 hours a day and each week, one or more housemates were voted to be evicted by the general public until the winner, Anthony Hutton, was left.
13 housemates entered on day one and they were joined by 3 more on day 29. They entered the Secret Garden which was decorated like a jungle, and the three secret housemates were initially only supplied with fig leaves to cover only the main essentials of their bodies. This created the idea of an Adam and Eve style jungle. With Makosi's help, they had to steal clothes and food from the main Big Brother House when the other housemates were asleep, and to make sure that the other housemates did not find out about them. At the end of their stay, Makosi who had to choose two of the three secret housemates to enter the main house. She chose Orlaith and Eugene, although Kinga re-entered the house after Orlaith walked out on Day 65.

[edit] Anthony
Anthony Hutton[1] (born 1982) is a 70s dancer from Consett in County Durham. Anthony won Big Brother 6 with 57.2% of the vote, narrowly beating Eugene and walking away with £50,000.
Since leaving the house Anthony experienced a taste of fame, but this was short-lived and, despite the occasional television or public appearance, Anthony has now returned to his home town and returned to normal life.
Anthony became famous in the house for his variety of catchphrases, including "Alreet!" (All right in his Pitmatic accent) and shouting out "Taxi".
Upon his entrance to the Big Brother house Anthony had the unusual honour of being the first Big Brother UK winner to be booed, due to his insistence on posing and performing his trademark dance moves for the crowd (once in the house he told his fellow housemates that the security guards who told him to move along were the ones who were being booed).
In Week 6, it was rumoured that Anthony had had sexual intercourse with Makosi in the pool. Makosi denied this at first, but later claimed she was "955% certain" that she was pregnant with his baby. During their final interviews on leaving the house, Kemal Shahin, Craig (who was in the pool at the time) and Anthony all denied the couple had had sex. However, Makosi's side of the story has been backed up in print by Orlaith McAllister. Fellow housemate Maxwell believes they had sexual intercourse too, and Craig also thought this at the time (it is not known when Craig changed his opinion on the matter). Makosi sold her story to the News of the World and claimed she did have sex with Anthony. The same day the story went on sale, both contestants appeared on the BBLB Reunion show. During his interview, incensed at Makosi stating she could prove it whilst Anthony was being interviewed, Anthony shouted over to her "You know you can't, you're an absolute liar!" and had to be told to calm down by the show's presenter, Dermot O'Leary.
During Anthony's stay in the house he became close with a gay hairdresser named Craig Coates; it was widely spread amongst the fellow contestants and the media that Craig was obsessing over Anthony and this caused him to be branded with the "bunny boiler" image on the outside. Upon his eviction from the house Craig was shocked that he had been branded a "bunny boiler" and refused to endorse it. Since leaving Big Brother, Anthony refuses to criticise Craig, perhaps recognising how much Craig helped him to win. Craig has said in a radio interview that he is no longer friends with Anthony, although their friendship was the butt of jokes in the August 17, 2006 edition of Big Brother's Little Brother, where Anthony was a phone-in guest.
Anthony appeared in the 2005 and 2006 series of Sky One's The Match producing credited appearances noticed by the Legends his Celebrity squad faced. But most notably by the viewers who voted him to receive the Man of the Match award in both series he has appeared in show.
Upon leaving the house Anthony, like the vast majority of the other ex-housemates, received attention from the press and the public; this generated Anthony into a celebrity for a short period of time, with Anthony making various public and television appearances, such as appearing on the Sky One reality television series, The Match, and various photo shoots (some naked) for magazines and Tabloid newspapers. Anthony also released a work-out video which revolved around his 70s disco dance movements; despite recently winning Big Brother, Anthony's work-out DVD failed to sell well.
In September 2007, he featured in the Sky TV production, Premier League All Stars football show representing Newcastle United F.C..
[edit] Craig
Craig Jonathan Coates[2] (born 1984) is a hair stylist from Cromer, Norfolk.
During his time in the house Craig immediately created 'Team Britney' along with Lesley and Vanessa. When Lesley was evicted on Day 15 Craig began to align himself with Anthony, Maxwell and Saskia. Craig then developed an unsettling obsession with Anthony, this resulted in some awkward, strange and sexual moments.
Craig finished 5th, and was evicted on Day 76 in a surprise final week eviction having received just 0.1% of the vote to win.
Since leaving the house he has lost 5 stone.
In a recent interview he said the he didn't keep in contact with any of his fellow housemates. When asked if he had heard from Anthony recently he answer "Thankfully not" and said he believed that "Anthony leads a sad existence". He also commented that Anthony wouldn't have won it without him as he was an "Umpa lumpa". In one final comment he said he had lied on his infamous audition tape and that he was actually a "nice person".

[edit] Kemal

[edit] Kinga
Kinga Karolczak (born 1985) is a half Polish, half Kuwaiti market researcher from London. She was initially entered into the house through the Secret Garden. One of her first actions was to jiggle her very large (34FF) breasts with her hands, causing one of them to bounce out of the tight-fitting, leafy bikini top she wore. Makosi chose Eugene to go into the main house over her.
Then, after Orlaith left the house, Kinga re-entered. During her relatively short stay in the house Kinga acted wildly. She developed a rather surprising bond with Derek, with each of them often singing serenades to one another, and Derek (a homosexual) curiously fondling her breasts while the two were in the pool. She is infamous for, at the peak of her drunken craziness, lying in the garden and masturbating with a wine bottle.[5] Even though Kinga had only been in the house for 11 days she managed to receive more votes to win the show than fellow housemate Craig who was evicted during the final week after failing to receive enough votes to win the series, this secured Kinga a place in the final night, this is evidence of her popularity and since her leaving the house there has been numerous speculation that had she had a few extra weeks then she may have even won the show. Kinga finished fourth and left on the final night.
Since the house Kinga has featured in many newspaper and magazine articles, and has also claimed to have fallen in love with fellow BB6 contestant Kemal Shahin. They have since broken up after Kemal ended their relationship. She has been a guest on shows including Trisha Goddard, Big Brother's Little Brother and Big Brother's Big Mouth. In 2006 she played at the Celebrity World Cup Soccer Six Tournament. In 2007 it was revealed in a magazine spread how Kinga had been on an amazing weight challenge and showed off her new, sleek figure. Kinga landed a small part in the feature film Cash and Curry, starring Ameet Chana, Faria Alam and Lee Latchford-Evans, which is due for release in late 2007. In summer 2007 she was the Big Brother columnist for the Daily Sport newspaper.
[edit] Lesley
Lesley Anne Sanderson[2] (born 1985) is a sales assistant from Huddersfield. She was the second person to be evicted from the Big Brother house, on June 10 (Day 15), gaining 36% of the public vote, all housemates faced eviction in Week 2 as punishment for Vanessa's rule breaking, on this eviction night, housemates could hear the crowd cheering and booing their favourites and least favourites, Sanderson received the biggest booes, as viewers labelled her a bully. Whilst staying in the house she, along with Craig and Vanessa, were noted for bullying fellow housemate Sam, which angered housemates such as Anthony and Maxwell who both got involved in an argument with her over the way she was treating her. Despite getting told off for her nasty behaviour by Big Brother, she seemed genuinely shocked at hearing the crowd boo her on her eviction. In Autumn of 2005, Sanderson was allegedly raped in a hotel in Leeds. Also she claims that since Big Brother she has struggled to cope with fame and developed a drinking problem.
After leaving the Big Brother House, Sanderson embarked on a singing career, which failed. She was due to record a single called Hated and plans to write a book about her experiences. The People reports that she was paid £15,000 for Big Brother.[6]
[edit] Makosi
Makosi Musambasi (born 24 September 1980) is a registered cardiac nurse, who worked in a coronary care unit, originally from Zimbabwe but now living in Aylesbury. A story in The Sun during the final week claimed that a talent agency had invoiced the producers of Big Brother for £609 for procuring her services; The Sun alleged that this proved she was in fact an actress rather than a genuine contestant. This was denied by Big Brother on the finale night, with the explanation that the money was paid to the talent agency (which does represent Makosi) for work relating to the supplementary show Big Brother's Big Mouth. Makosi is remembered for providing many of the dramatic moments that occurred in the house, such as alleging to be pregnant after a romp in the pool with Anthony, having to evict Kinga from the secret garden, and a huge confrontation with Maxwell and Saskia, when Makosi shared the house's supply of cider with Kinga, Orlaith and Eugene in the secret garden, and returning to the house drunk. In the early weeks, Makosi was considered one of the favourites to win the show, however following the pool incident, her popularity with the public plummeted. Makosi eventually finished 3rd in Big Brother 6, being the top female housemate for that year, however despite this, Makosi suffered an awful reception from the crowd waiting outside the Big Brother house. Makosi (as famously known to wear wigs) is to appear at The WiG GiG on 5th October to raise £10,000 for Macmillan Cancer Support.
