JACKIE Travers made Big Brother history by entering the house as one-half of the show's first ever mother-daughter duo.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The dancer teacher, 69, from Hertfordshire, was part of the 2013 reality show's roster – and since then she's rubbed shoulders with Hollywood stars.<\/p>\n


\n<\/p>\n

While working in the costume department for the Queen\u2019s Platinum Jubilee, Jackie tells us she mingled with celebrities including Alan Titchmarsh, Omid Djalili and Tom Cruise.<\/p>\n

She said the Mission Impossible star was "charming and so good-looking in real life" – but admits it led to one mortifying encounter.<\/p>\n

Jackie explains: "When Tom arrived I was bowled over. It was the pinnacle of my career so far.<\/p>\n

"Everyone was asking him for a selfie and I thought, 'I'm not going to miss out on this'. <\/p>\n

"I went to put my arm around him, but his bodyguard intervened and went \u2018No, no, no!\u2019 Despite that he was fantastic.\u201d <\/p>\n

Jackie spent five weeks alongside her daughter Charlie in the Big Brother house and describes it as a \u201csurreal experience\u201d.<\/p>\n

One of her more memorable moments was when she broke her wrist while doing star jumps and had to leave temporarily to go to A&E. <\/p>\n

While in hospital Jackie says she felt compelled to stick to the show's strict rules about having no contact with the outside world.<\/p>\n

Jackie says seeing the crowds after being evicted was her 'best moment' on the show<\/span>Credit: Channel 5<\/span><\/figcaption>

She recalls: \u201cI wasn\u2019t allowed to speak to anybody and I didn\u2019t. I knew if I tried to I probably wouldn\u2019t be allowed back on the show.<\/p>\n

\u201cI didn\u2019t want to jeopardise anything so I didn\u2019t even dare to look at anybody or anything.<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t think I opened my mouth except for when the care team asked how my wrist was. It was like I had blinkers on.\u201d<\/p>\n

Her injury didn't stop her from choreographing a dance for one task when she got back, which depicted the love triangle between her daughter, Callum Knell and Dexter Koh.<\/p>\n

She joked: \u201cStrictly eat your heart out! I did well considering my arm was in plaster. I think my dance depicted that whole story.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cThe love triangle was hysterical and didn\u2019t bother me in the slightest, you couldn\u2019t take it seriously.\u201d<\/p>\n

'Horrendous task'<\/h2>\n

During her series the housemates were stunned one morning when they woke up to find actors dressed as zombies hammering on the window outside. <\/p>\n

It was part of a \u2018virus outbreak\u2019 that \u2018infected\u2019 several stars, who then had to live in a quarantine zone until they passed one of Big Brother\u2019s gruelling tasks.<\/p>\n

Jackie recalls: \u201cFor Jack [Glenny] and I, Big Brother told us we could leave if we had the middle section of our hair completely shaved off. Being a woman, I said, \u2018No, I\u2019m not doing that.\u2019<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cQuarantine was horrendous, it drove you nuts walking around the room all day. I was almost in tears at one point. It was such a relief to be free.\u201d<\/p>\n

Another challenging aspect for the housemates was that they were living in an 'eco-friendly' house and had limited access to electricity.<\/p>\n

Jackie recalled: \u201cYou had to shower outside and someone literally had to ride a bicycle to pump the water, which was freezing cold.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cYou only had a certain amount of time to use the dryer too before Big Brother switched off all of the electrics.<\/p>\n

\u201cOne day I only managed to dry one side of my hair. The other side was frizzy and horrendous.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s one of those things that get you a bit cross and tearful, but in the grand scheme of things it was a wonderful experience.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

Favourite moment<\/h2>\n

Jackie was evicted in week five and despite being met with a mixed reception from the crowds, she insists it was her "favourite moment".<\/p>\n

At the time it was reported that alongside cheers there was also booing, hissing and some chanting "Get Jackie out!".<\/p>\n

Jackie tells us: \u201cI didn\u2019t take any notice of that, it didn\u2019t bother me in the slightest and it went straight over my head. I loved it.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cEven if everyone booed, I would have stood and relished it because you can\u2019t help smiling as you think about the incredible experience.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was the most incredible moment standing at the top of the stairs looking down at the crowd. I\u2019d love to relive that experience.\u201d<\/p>\n

Long auditions<\/h2>\n

<\/p>\n

Jackie's time on Big Brother was something she says she will never forget and she would "100 per cent" jump at the chance to appear again.<\/p>\n

The mum believes she and Charlie managed to get on the show due to them having a big argument on their audition tape.<\/p>\n

Jackie said: \u201cThe row started after I told Charlie I\u2019d like to do the cooking in the house. She yelled \u2018For God's sake Mum\u2019 and we argued a lot."\u00a0<\/p>\n

She says the auditions were exciting but a long process that took place over several months, while the team looked for big characters to appear on the show. <\/p>\n

Jackie explained: \u201cWe went back month after month for audition after audition where we met other potential housemates. <\/p>\n

I didn\u2019t take any notice of the boos, it didn\u2019t bother me in the slightest and it went straight over my head. I loved it<\/p>\n

\u201cIn one there were around 30 of us in a room and we were asked questions. We didn\u2019t have to do any tasks or challenges.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey were mixing and matching us together. I think they were looking to see who would get on and who wouldn't.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey wanted some people who were outrageous and some who would argue – that was Charlie and I."<\/p>\n

Ahead of the show being rebooted on ITV2 this autumn, she warns upcoming housemates it's going to be "extremely emotional".<\/p>\n

She tells us: \u201cBefore going in, you think 'I won\u2019t cry' but you do. Your emotions get the better of you and there are a lot of highs and lows.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u2018I couldn't go anywhere'<\/h2>\n

<\/p>\n

Back in the real world, Jackie enjoyed taking selfies and chatting with fans but says at times it got a little intense.<\/p>\n

"I couldn\u2019t go anywhere, nor could Charlie and the others," she recalled.<\/p>\n

"It got to the point where if I walked down the street and no one stopped me, I thought \u2018What is going on here?\u2019<\/p>\n

\u201cEven when I flew abroad and was waiting to collect my bags, a couple of people said, \u2018Are you Jackie from Big Brother?\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

Even now strangers tell her they feel like they've seen her before.<\/p>\n

She added: \u201cWhen people stop me in the street, they expect me to say the show was horrendous and are surprised when I say I loved every second.\u201d<\/p>\n

Jackie says one of the most common questions is whether she \u201cforgot the cameras are there\u201d – to which the answer is a firm no.<\/p>\n

She said: \u201cYou learn not to take any notice of them and eventually you don\u2019t care that the cameras are always following you.<\/p>\n

\u201cPeople have seen me at my worst – like when I had just woken up with bed hair and no make-up but I don\u2019t mind, that\u2019s real and how it should be.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

Celebrity gig<\/h2>\n


\n<\/p>\n

After her stint on the TV, Jackie returned to her normal jobs working as a dance instructor, property developer and railway tour manager.<\/p>\n

Her daughter Charlie went on to travel to Los Angeles, to follow her dream of becoming a TV presenter or an actress.<\/p>\n

Charlie appeared on the US TV show Hollywood Medium as the driver and confidant of psychic Tyler Henry for three years until 2019.<\/p>\n

For a time, she also dated Kyland Young, who appeared on America\u2019s Big Brother in 2021.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Jackie recently released a music video for her song St Tropez, which she hopes could be a No1 and is due to be remixed by DJs.<\/p>\n

She has also raised \u00a33,000 for charity trekking Machu Picchu, the Great Wall of China and Toubkal, the highest mountain in South Africa.\u00a0<\/p>\n

When asked if she would consider a return to Big Brother, she tells us: \u201cAbsolutely, I loved every single second in the house.<\/p>\n
