Forget love in da club, the Big Brother house has spurned pairings galore.
\r\nAh, yes, they came, they snogged, they sold their love to the glossy mags, they (mostly) split.
\r\nLet's take a look at the Big Brother couples that've warmed our hearts, starting with the latest series' offerings - Mario Marconi and Lisa Appleton.
Now that Mario's a goner, will their coupling last?<\/p>","url":"2008/7/3/Mario-Lisa-0708.jpg","width":385,"height":540,"alt":"Mario Lisa 07.08"},{"captionHeading":"Big Brother Couples","caption":"
This is the most unpredicted hook-up of the year. It's BB9's Luke Marsden and Rebecca Shiner.
For the meantime their gropings are only a night-time thang, so we'll have to wait and see if this love has legs - or if it's just about a bit of tongue-wrestling after dark.<\/p>","url":"2008/7/14/Luke-Rebecca-0708-2.jpg","width":385,"height":420,"alt":"Luke Rebecca 07.08 "},{"captionHeading":"Big Brother Couples","caption":"

Inside the BB house they fought like cat and dog, but come to think of it - once BB8's Chanelle Hayes and Ziggy Lichman, dubbed Chiggy, got out the house and split in November last year, all they did was slag each other off too.

BB7 winner Pete Bennett and Nikki Grahame called it quits after just a month of being together in September 2006, with Pete doing the dumping.

If ever there was a Cinderella tale, it was when Chantelle Houghton and Samuel Preston hooked up in 2006's Celebrity Big Brother.
Despite denying their attraction at the start, they were married in August of that year.
But the fairy tale ended in June 2007 when they announced their split. Sob.<\/p>","url":"2008/7/15/Chantelle-Houghton-Samuel-Preston-0106-7.jpg","width":385,"height":420,"alt":"Chantelle Houghton Samuel Preston 01.06"},{"captionHeading":"Big Brother Couples","caption":"

Maxwell Ward was smitten from the start of BB6, but Saskia Howard-Clarke kept him waiting until the last minute.

Crikey, these two, Kemal Shahin and Kinga Karokzak, never even met in the BB6 house. She went in after he'd left, but they hooked up outside the house, despite everyone thinking Kem was gay.
And then unhooked a couple of months later mid-2006. Yawn.<\/p>","url":"2008/7/15/Kemal-Shahin-Kinga-Karokzak-0406.jpg","width":385,"height":540,"alt":"Kemal Shahin Kinga Karokzak 04.06"},{"captionHeading":"Big Brother Couples","caption":"
We wonder if Anthony Hutton and Makosi Musambasi from BB6 have gotten into a swimming pool since their stint in the house?
One smooch led to a string of wild stories, like reports that they'd done the deed in the pool.
Not quite what you build a relationship on so no, this one didn't really go anywhere. Except the pool's deep end, of course.<\/p>","url":"2008/7/15/Anthony-Makosi-0705.jpg","width":385,"height":420,"alt":"Anthony Hutton Makosi Musambasi07.05"},{"captionHeading":"Big Brother Couples","caption":"
Some action in the BB7 house came from Imogen Thomas and Sezer Yurtseven who held out to day five before snogging. Talk about the long wait.
They saw each other on coming out of the house but split soon after, with Imogen later appearing in the papers as one of Russell Brand's conquests.

Ah, Mikey Dalton and Grace Adams-Short may just be the poster kids for BB romances.

In BB5 we swooned as Michelle Bass and Stuart Wilson hooked up. We also cringed at their late-night antics under the duvet.

It may have seemed like BB1's Tom McDermott and Melanie Hill from BB were a sure thang, what with him giving her a steamy massage and that passionate kiss when he was evicted.
