Channel 4 have confirmed more details about Big Brother’s birthday week next week, including some of the ex-housemates involved.

As we reported yesterday, a number of ex-housemates will return to the house next week to celebrate BB’s ‘best bits’ from the past nine years by challenging the current contestants to ‘iconic’ tasks from previous years.

On Monday,  BB1 ejectee ‘Nasty’ Nick will put one of the housemates through their paces as they take on the assault course, while another will face BB2’s Dean at the record-breaking challenge. Later on, three former BB3 contestants will compete in an egg-and-spoon race, while one current housemate must correctly predict the outcome.

On Tuesday, BB4, BB5 and BB6 will be revisited, with challenges including BB6’s box task.

Wednesday will see Nikki from BB7 and BB8 winner Brian return to the house to take part in tasks from their series.

Finally, on Thursday, the housemates will face BB9’s electric shock task with Rex.

The celebrations culminate in next Friday’s live shows, during which Davina will unveil further surprises that Big Brother has in store.

This week’s nominations will take place on Sunday to accommodate the festivities.

Stick with bbspy!

Sounds like rubbish.

Dean?! Is that the best they could come up with from BB2 lol!

Brian the dimwit Belo. LMAO.

Horrible way to celebrate a once great show.

Stu says: July 10, 2009 @ 10:06 pm

Sounds great, it will be a week to remember.

Gavin please just go away.

BBFan says: July 10, 2009 @ 10:08 pm

Gavin, to put it as politely as possible, please fuck off.

Gavin says: July 10, 2009 @ 10:09 pm

I can’t believe some people think this sounds ok.

There’s no twist at all!

It’s so boring!

lanky says: July 10, 2009 @ 10:11 pm

Gavin, you appear to be missing the ‘further surprises on Friday’ bit. Who’s to say there won’t be a twist then?

Now, please fuck off. (No politeness intended.)

Gavin says: July 10, 2009 @ 10:13 pm

No I won’t leave.

I’m entitled to my opinion.

Justin says: July 10, 2009 @ 10:14 pm

Oh I loved the box task! Tbh, one of the best the producers have come up with.

I’m excited for this ‘birthday week’. It’s like the pinnacle of the season, and it’s only fair for this season to revisit old seasons as it is, after all, the tenth season. Bring it! :)

What happened in the box task? I only started watching it in BB8

BBFan says: July 10, 2009 @ 10:19 pm

Who said it was going to be a twist? Why does it have to be a twist? I bet if it was a twist you’d be complaining! Why do you follow the series if you don’t like it?

Brekkie says: July 10, 2009 @ 10:27 pm

Dan - the HMs had to stay in a cardboard box as long as possible, with the winners lasting 24 hours.

It was genius though because they put pics of all the HMs on the boxes, and the BB6 lot were rather competitive - so you had a whole show of boxes talking to each other.

One of those tasks which doesn’t sound that exciting at all on paper, but it’s one of the funniest they’ve ever done - and certainly funnier than the recent tasks they’ve tried to make funny.

dan says: July 10, 2009 @ 10:38 pm

YEAH KRIS HAS GONE!

Ben B says: July 10, 2009 @ 10:42 pm

gavin what the hell this sounds like great fun and to top it all off twist on friday !! love it kris gone tonite and next friday possibly new blood going in sounds fun !!!

Nathan says: July 10, 2009 @ 10:43 pm

That box task is the greatest BB task ever. The funniest show too probably with Maxwell and Saskia sat next to each other, in their boxes - it was ridiculous and it was dead funny!

Aled says: July 10, 2009 @ 10:44 pm

wow, really dissapointed tbh. week to remember? this?! they’ve revealed every single detail of it?! -unless they have some shock twist (which is highly unlikley for bb uk). Im not one to complain complain complain. But this is erm just simply dissapointing and gutting :/

Brizo says: July 10, 2009 @ 10:48 pm

They should of had BB3 Rish and Poor!!

andy says: July 10, 2009 @ 10:50 pm

i wil wait to make judgement on next week. It could b great altho i am sure they cud hav got more wel known legendary hmates to make a return- im not a fan of brian belo. I hope they dnt just stick to these tasks i wud like them to do the secret garden twist etc. But gd move by the producers overall tho!

Brekkie says: July 10, 2009 @ 10:57 pm

Well Friday is rumoured to just be new HMs, which wouldn’t be a surprise at all.

Anyhow, my idea would be the Big Brother Birthday Ball. Basically invite a number of ex-HMs back for one night only to BB’s Birthday Ball - with the BB10 HMs having to do all the hard work!

Andrew says: July 10, 2009 @ 11:11 pm

Brekkie that ball idea is rubish lol.
This one is SO much better.

andy says: July 10, 2009 @ 11:13 pm

nah i think brekkies idea cud b gd

reg turley says: July 10, 2009 @ 11:30 pm

Ivan says: July 10, 2009 @ 11:43 pm

Yay

kayla says: July 11, 2009 @ 12:43 pm

WELL NIKKI IS GOIN BACK IN SO YAHOOO. please put nikki in. (:

Befnii. says: July 11, 2009 @ 12:46 pm

WHEYYYYYYY NIKIS LIKE LEDGEND. PUT HER BACK INNNN :D

kayla says: July 11, 2009 @ 12:48 pm

NIKKI. NIKKI. NIKKI. NIKKI. and i really think you should put the tv show princess nikki back on.. that was hilarious. :D:D:D

andy says: July 11, 2009 @ 5:45 pm

Im sorry. I think that nobody from the outside world, bar big brother and Davina, should have any contact with the housemates.

Chris says: July 11, 2009 @ 9:55 pm

I can’t wait for Rex to go in! Especially him and the housemates with the electric shock task, thats gonna be amazing! Really excited now :)

Brekkie says: July 12, 2009 @ 12:36 pm

That electric shock task was mildly amusing the first time, but nowhere near as funny as the producers think - so can’t say it being wheeled out yet again appeals to me.

I think my favourite task from last year was the table tennis thing.
