This week it’s a HUGE Celebrity Trenches special as Jamie is joined by Big Brother 5 winner Nadia Almada, Fight Night icon Victor Ebuwa, legendary narrator Marcus Bentley and former Big Brother director Ben Hardy to unpack the most chaotic era in reality TV history.
Victor reveals producers gave the housemates an “apocalyptic amount of booze” before the infamous Fight Night kicked off. Jamie also points out they’d run out of cigarettes. Different times!
Nadia explains why BB5 felt like “social warfare” after producers removed books, writing materials and even turned sprinklers on housemates when they got too relaxed in the garden.
Ben Hardy reveals nobody expected the famous fake eviction twist to explode into total carnage and explains how the live feed accidentally made Fight Night sound so violent that viewers actually called the police.
Victor also opens up about his tensions with Emma from the very first night in the house, while Nadia reveals housemates were offered the chance to speak to police after the series ended.
Plus: Marcus Bentley reflects on becoming the voice of Big Brother, everyone agrees BB was the blueprint for every reality show that followed, and Nadia shares why her historic win became a pivotal moment for trans representation in Britain.
It’s nostalgia, chaos and reality TV history all rolled into one.
Welcome back to the Celebrity Trenches!
