It was the same season as Alison Hammond was in - two decades before she became Bake Off host.

This Morning competition presenter Kate Lawler ended up winning with 59 per cent of the vote.

Despite being popular with fans, Jonny avoided the dizzying heights of Big Brother fame.

He quit his job as a fireman and took up acting - touring in musical Boogie Nights and doing jobs in adverts for British Gas, and Skybet.

Jonny even ended up going by the name of Jonathan to distance himself from the reality show.

He went on to run a photography company as he stepped back from the limelight.

The 50-year-old was pictured this week visiting a supermarket in County Durham wearing denim shorts and a yellow sweatshirt.

The BB star has changed his brunette hair, which has now turned grey, into a new style.

He was last seen on Instagram in 2017 when he posed for an Instagram photo alongside Alison, Kate and their co-star PJ Ellis.
