Career
She had a Number. 6 hit as a featured artist on Kylie Minogue"s 1991 song "Shocked", and also participated in Big Brother: Power Trip in 2014. Bennett had no more hits. In 1994 Chris & James sampled "Feel the Rhythm" for their United Kingdom Number.
2014: Big Brother Bennett participated in the fifteenth series of Big Brother United Kingdom, entering on Day 1 on 5 June 2014, she declared herself "an opinionated joker" and stated that she had phobias of sea creatures and red meat.
She also noted that if she was not the first one to be evicted, she would be celebrating her fiftieth birthday in the house. She became the first housemate to be voted "Power" housemate, enabling her to influence events.
She was immediately asked to select one housemate for a treat and one for a punishment. Matthew"s punishment was to be excluded from the house for the first night.
The next day, Bennett was asked to send a single housemate straight through to the final.
She selected Helen. On Day 4, she was asked to hand out a Big Brother "killer nomination", which meant that the selected housemate would automatically face eviction every week for the whole time they were in the house. She selected Jale on the grounds that she rolled her eyes when she found out how popular Pauline was, and because she had helped herself to Bennett"s chicken soup.
Upon selecting her killer nomination, Bennett"s tenure as Power housemate expired and fellow housemate Chris was selected.
He nominated Pauline for the next eviction. A few days later, Bennett had to be rushed to hospital to be treated for a burn. She became the second housemate to be evicted on Day 16 (with 794% of the public vote).
