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.
GLYN WISE
Glyn entered the Big Brother 7 house in 2006 at the tender age of 18.
Fans watched him come of age in the series, including the infamous moment where he boiled an egg "for the very first time".

Now the Welsh finalist has undergone a shocking transformation and left fame to be a vicar.
He thinks his experiences on the show have actually given him material to use from the pulpit.
JASON COWAN
Jason famously entered the 2004 house in just a pair of tiny leopard print Speedos and a bow tie.
The Scotsman has since ditched the blond locks for a shaved head - and is much more conservative with his wardrobe choices.

The no-nonsense housemate from Big Brother 7 won legions of fans by standing up to other contestants with iconic phrases like: "You better know yourself, little girl".

He settled down after marrying his wife who he previously said "tamed" him, and went on to run a photography business.
MAKOSI MUSAMBASI
Makosi was one of Big Brother 6's stand-out stars, with her and Anthony Hutton's hot tub romp one of the steamiest in Big Brother history.

She is working on a book about her battle with breast cancer, which saw her fighting through a mastectomy and chemotherapy to return to health.

And the Bristolian beauty has remained a TV darling, enjoying lucrative gigs with ITV such as presenting This Morning.

He has recently opened up about his experiences with fame in a book he wrote with his husband, Arthur Gourounlian.

In a series full of legendary Big Brother contestants, Kate was the one to take home the crown - becoming the show's first female winner in 2002.
She surprised viewers when she entered the famous house in a casual football T-Shirt, and fans loved her girl-next-door attitude throughout.
