Ex-housemates enter Big Brother

Adele was the sixth person to be evicted and Alex came third
Former Big Brother housemates Alex Sibley and Adele Roberts joined the current series of Channel 4's reality TV show for one day only.

The pair, both now 28, starred in the third series of Big Brother in 2002, alongside Jade Goody and Kate Lawler.

As part of the weekly task current housemates Brian and Kara-Louise were sent "back in time" to a replica of the 2002 house to meet Alex and Adele.

Both pairs were then set a series of tasks to play against one another.

Before they started competing, the former housemates offered some advice on how to deal with the Big Brother experience.

"You'll have days when you're really good friends with people, and when you're in such a small space like this, you fight over simple things," Alex said.

Referring to housemates being evicted, Adele said: "Don't be scared. It's OK when people boo you. You'll get over it."

Shortly after leaving the show Alex - known for his love of hygiene - signed up to be the face of Domestos bleach.

He also dated original Big Brother contestant Melanie Hill, but after splitting they ended up fighting in court over custody of their dog.

Adele, who was the sixth person to be evicted during the 2002 series, went on to work for a radio station in Preston.
