Big Brother’s biggest transformations – the unrecognisable stars after finding fame on show

AFTER five years off screens Big Brother has finally made a return to British tellies.

Fans have been delighted by the new crop of housemates, and the past week has already seen juicy fallouts and a love triangle develop.

However, there will always be a special place in the heart of watchers for contestants from the early days of the show.

There have been some iconic members of the public baring all under the watchful eye of Big Brother since the 2000s, and here's what has happened to some of them.

Now the Welsh finalist has undergone a shocking transformation and left fame to be a vicar.
