SHE won the 2019 series of The Bachelor UK when hunky PT Alex Marks picked her.

But these days Alicia Oates has swapped reality TV for spinning the decks in her new career as a DJ.

And the 28-year-old looks a far cry from her time on the show – having ditched her blonde hair for a darker look and embracing bushier brows.

During her time on the Channel 5 programme, which was hosted by Mark Wright, Alicia beat off competition from 16 other single women to win Alex’s heart.

At the time viewers were surprised by his choice, but the couple insisted they had genuine chemistry.

Alex said: “We might be total opposites, which is what my head was saying, but my gut and heart were saying Alicia.

“We had an undeniable chemistry and everything I learnt about her I loved. She just makes me smile.”

He even claimed they had spoken about wedding plans, saying Mark Wright would be a big part of the day.

Just two months after the show ended the couple called it quits though.

Alicia went off travelling around the world before returning to Essex, changing her style and starting work as a DJ.

Gushing about her new life ahead of turning 29, Alicia shared with her followers: “Wow what a weekend 🎉

“3 gigs 2 days forever grateful.

“Nothing brings me more happiness than watching people dance and sing their hearts out to absolute bangers 😂❤️

“29 tomorrow and I can truly say my 28th year has by far been the best ✨ Can’t wait to see what the next year brings.”
