The Brits love their reality television. The U.K. is one of the biggest countries for reality television programs from Strictly Come Dancing to Made in Chelsea and The Only Way is Essex. These hit shows are constantly talked about on social media and in the tabloids when they air – with many of the stars going on to find successful careers in other fields.
With all the reality television shows that come in and out of production there is one that remains constant: Big Brother. The uproarious and outrageous show has been on the air for years and features a rotating cast of characters that are forced to live together as strangers and avoid elimination through a series of challenges. The show has been produced in dozens of countries worldwide but remains a staple in the U.K.
The show has produced reality stars such as Nikki Grahame whose temper tantrums were so iconic they remain popular memes and videos today. The show proved to be a great launching pad for her and she continued a successful career in modeling, reality television, and even publishing. Many of these women were amazing then and remain amazing today. Check back in with your favorite housemates and see what they’re up to today.

Before she entered the Big Brother house for season eight of the reality TV show, Chanelle was just your typical 19-year-old college student. Yet, in 2007 she was offered the chance to appear on the show – and she just couldn’t turn it down! While in the house, Chanelle quickly rose to fame after entering into a showmance with her fellow contestant, Ziggy Lichman, and fans couldn’t wait to keep up with how things were heating up in the house between the two of them. Sadly, Hayes left before the pair could really ramp things up.
