Former Big Brother director reveals mistake that sparked 2004's Fight Night

More than 20 years on from one of the most chaotic nights in reality TV history, the Daily Mail's Tales from the Celebrity Trenches has reunited key players from Big Brother 5 to reveal what really sparked the show's infamous Fight Night. Series winner Nadia Almada, fan favourite Victor Ebuwa, longtime narrator Marcus Bentley and former director Ben Hardy joined host Jamie East to relive a bust up so explosive that viewers called police on the show. It was the early hours of 17 June 2004, Day 20 of the fifth series of Big Brother. For the first time in the show's history, two housemates, Emma Greenwood and Michelle Bass, were shockingly reintroduced to the house after a fake eviction the week prior. To celebrate the reveal, Big Brother had laid on a fancy dress party for the housemates, with alcohol flowing freely.
