There was a period when Anna Nolan used to deny she was ever a contestant in Big Brother.
Nolan was the Irish ex-trainee nun who came second to Craig Philips in the first ever Big Brother in 2000.
She admits she "lost interest" in the programme in its middle years. But as Channel 4 launches the 11th and final series of its flagship reality TV show this week, Nolan will be glued to the screen for the next 13 weeks.
"Big Brother stills rears its head and that's okay," says Nolan, who made the move into television presenting soon after her stint in the house. "I don't have a problem with it."
