It’s been 18 years since the first series of Celebrity Big Brother began! Over the years, we’ve watched some of our favourite celebs swaying public opinion, causing drama and airing their dirty laundry for the whole world to see.

We all get why people go on Big Brother, it’s all about raising your public profile and getting your name out there. But how many of them landed A-list status after the show, and how many have fallen by the wayside?

Of course, some contestants like Katie Hopkins, Katie Price and Rylan Clark are never far from the headlines, but what about the rest? Are Heidi and Spencer (AKA Speidi) still married? Does Charlotte Crosby still wet the bed after an intense night of drinking? Are Lee Ryan and Jasmine Waltz making it work?

This is what’s happened to our most loved and hated celebs since their time on Celebrity Big Brother…

1. Alex Reid

After winning Celebrity Big Brother 2010, Reid married (then shortly divorced) Katie Price. Afterwards, he began a successful relationship with a fellow CBB alum Chantelle Houghton (who previously won CBB in 2006) and the pair now have a daughter together.

As for his career, Alex Reid is still a rather big and important name in the world of cage fighting.

2. Luisa Zissman

Having earnt her place in the Celebrity Big Brother house from being runner-up on the ninth series of The Apprentice, Luisa Zissman used her 15 minutes of fame after her eviction from the CBB house to launch a line of bikinis, write a cook book and honed her presenting skills. She also married businessman Andrew Collins and has just had her second child.

3. Charlotte Crosby

After proving that the UK love nothing more than watching a woman in her 20s wet the bed after an intense night of drinking, Charlotte landed her own reality series after winning CBB in 2013. Crosby later quit Geordie Shore in 2016 and since then has become a huge fitness and reality star after launching her own DVD and took on a new show ‘Just tattoo of us’ with her ex Stephen Bear (another CBB alum).

4. Lee Ryan

Unfortunately for Lee, his time in the CBB house and relationship with Jasmine Waltz (fellow CBB housemate) was short lived. However, Ryan has since been back performing with Blue and was cast in EastEnders as Woody Woodward, for which he later received a nomination for Best Newcomer. Not only that, soon he will be back on our television screens as one of the many stars to join Strictly Come Dancing 2018!

5. Spencer & Heidi (Speidi)

After being one of the most memorable couples to enter the CBB house, “Speidi” are still going strong. In 2013, Spencer graduated with a degree in political science from the University of Southern California. Later in 2017, Speidi made a reappearance on our screens as part of CBB’s ‘All Stars & New Stars’ series. Not long after, Speidi announced they were expecting a baby boy who they named Gunner.

6. Scotty T

Reality star Scotty T followed the footsteps of fellow Geordie Shore and CBB alum Charlotte Crosby when he won back in 2016. He went back to Geordie Shore and signed up for Ex on The Beach. He’s also made a cameo appearance in Neighbours, released a book and worked as the face of the boohooMAN fashion brand.

7. Stephanie Davis

After coming second to Scotty T in the 2016 CBB series, Stephanie later became a first-time mum with her ex Jeremy McConnell. They called their beautiful baby boy Caben-Albi. She’s been keeping herself busy with a career in singing and song writing.

With the latest CBB series final fast approaching on Monday 10^thSeptember, be sure to bet on Celebrity Big Brother, on who you think could be crowned this years CBB winner!
