Former Big Brother housemates including Nick Bateman, Kinga Karolczak, Imogen Thomas, Gerry Stergiopoulos and Billi Bhatti have all claimed to have turned down the chance to return to the reality TV show.

Producers have planned a two week special titled ‘Ultimate Big Brother,’ to mark the final series of the show. When it launches later this month, the show will include former BB stars, who will battle it out for the Ultimate Housemate crown.

However not all past housemates are as fame hungry as they may seem. Nick Bateman revealed his decision to stay out of the house on Twitter.

“Sadly on Friday, I turned down Big Brother’s kind offer of going back into the house,” he wrote.

Kinga Karolczak, Imogen Thomas, Gerry Stergiopoulos and Billi Bhatti have also claimed that they won’t be back and Big Brother 10 winner Sophie Reade hinted that she may not be involved when she posted on Twitter that she had a holiday booked for Marbella in three weeks’ time.

So who will be on the show? Well along with the winner from this series, rumours suggest that Michelle Bass, Nadia Almada, Preston, Chantelle Houghton, Aisleyne Horgan-Wallace, Makosi Musambasi, Brian Belo, Charley Uchea, Siavash Sabbaghpour, Craig Phillips, Alex Sibley, Brian Dowling and Nikki Grahame are all itching for a small screen return.

Who are you hoping to see in there? Leave your comments below.

This time – last year, Kinga Karolczak was preparing to leave the UK’s most famous household for the second time. She had previously been evicted from the Secret Garden by Makosi; but when Orlaith decided to leave Kinga’s dreams came true and was now a fully pledged Big Brother Housemate. Kinga eventually came 4th; being evicted to huge cheers, this in direct contrast to 3rd place Makosi who received “Big Brother’s Biggest ever Boo’s.”

Looking back at her time in the house, Former Market Researcher, Kinga has no regrets, – no, not even that..[!]

“I just think I was a generally funny person…people think the bottle thing was real and if it was I’d admit to it!

“I don’t regret going on Big Brother as I have had many fantastic opportunities since.”

These opportunities would undoubtedly include spending time in Music studios. During her time in the house Kinga displayed her impressive lungs in more ways than one; her duets with Eugene and Derek were the centre of brilliant episodes.

At one point in last year’s show Kinga claimed she was able to sing an octave higher than Mariah Carey- her life-long idol.

Upon leaving she was sent some big-time deals, but Kinga wanted to release an album, something as yet she wasn’t being offered. Having turned them down, months later, Kinga is back in the studio.

“I’m recording a whole album…I didn’t just want to release a single and that be it.”

Kinga agrees with the backlash from the British public following this year’s dull Big Brother,
“The only stars on this year’s Big Brother are Nikki and Pete they’re absolutely brilliant and I do agree that this year’s big brother is terribly dull.

“I don’t think big brother should stop; I just think since 2008 is supposed to be the last year of Big Brother they should do a “Big Brother All Stars” of all the best housemates through the previous years.”

Despite the occasional slip and trip outside some of London’s top Sleb-hangout’s being caught by the Paps, Kinga has vowed to calm her drinking down. Other than this, Kinga is largely the same person she was a year ago.

Amid claims that her reported relationship with former housemate Kemal was a ‘desperate’ attempt at keeping her face in the press Kinga says,

“Its not a desperate attempt, I’m in the press on my own most weeks anyway…people know Kemal and I are crazy we were just having a laugh…”

Looking to the future Kinga admits to having some exciting projects up her sleeve, rumoured to include a high-brow presenting job for Sky. In typical showbiz-stylee Kinga is unable to go into detail.
“I’m in talks…loads of secret projects but I can’t say just yet”

More important than her Media profile, Kinga is happy to be happy,
“My number one thing is to be successful when it comes to releasing my single, otherwise I’d just like to be happy whether it’s in this industry or not.”

Kinga has just launched her official website and with, what seems like the rest of Britain, is backing Pete to win Big Brother 7.
