List of Big Brother 2005 housemates (UK)

This is a list of the housemates of sixth series, broadcast in 2005, of the UK version of Big Brother, 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.

There were sixteen housemates in total; thirteen housemates entered on day one and they were joined by three 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 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.

Anthony Hutton (born March 1982) is a 70s dancer and apprentice hairdresser 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 "" (All right in his Geordie accent), "Mint" (meaning something is good), "Let's get it on", and shouting out "Taxi". Anthony and Makosi were often seen as a potential couple, after a drunken night in the pool they both claimed nothing sexual happened between them, however less than 48 hours later Makosi stated that she was pregnant with Anthony's baby, although she never told him this, she later claimed she received her period and that she was not pregnant. On the final night, third placed Makosi told Davina McCall that she was telling the truth when she said she was pregnant, during Anthony's interview he looked shocked when McCall told him about Makosi's pregnancy claims and said that they never had sex, during this the crowd chanted 'Liar, Liar' at Makosi. However, 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, but later changed his story (it is not known when Craig changed his opinion on the matter), during Makosi's interview she said that she wouldn't believe what Craig is saying because "he probably wanted to shag Anthony." 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.
