It remains one of the most enduring reality TV shows.
And, each year, thousands of self-promoting people compete to be part of Channel 5's Big Brother .
Together, the lure of low-level fame, humiliating tasks and £65,000 prize money draws applications from across the UK.
Last year, tanning addict Isabelle Warburton scooped the prize and made history in the process. She became the first woman to enter the house late and triumph in the final.
But how can you be part of it?

The first step is to stop procrastinating.
The application process for 2018 has already started and is now in full swing.To start, make a video and save it onto your computer or mobile device.
"You should try to get the essence of your personality across in your video and what it is about you that would make the perfect housemate," the official BB site says.
"There are no rules about what you should include but you’ve only got one chance to show us who you are and what you are about – so make it count. Please note there should be no copyrighted music."
Then, armed with two pictures of yourself, fill in this application form and submit them alongside the video.

But be warned: there are caveats. You must be 18 years of age by July 31 2018 and you must have the right to reside in the UK or the Republic of Ireland.
This is the initial stage completed.
If successful, you'll receive a phone call and be invited to meet with producers.
Not heard by May 2018? Then it's safe to assume you've not been shortlisted for the next series.
