PART 2
Naughty
Narinder Kaur, an ex-medical rep, once starred in a Bollywood movie and was banking on Big Brother to launch her showbiz career. Naz, who is married to hubby Jat, landed a brief stint on a northern radio slot at Century FM and also auditioned for MTV. The 29 year old Leicester girl also became a fixture on the party circuit for a while. She recently announced she wants to be a Daily Star Bitch. But with no chance of that happening, she has her sights on joining ex-housemate Brian as the replacement for Cat Deeley. Attention ITV bosses: Please don’t inflict that on us.
Snooty
Stuart Hosking left his telecommunications firm to go into the house. Stu – married to stunning wife Sian – has been approached for some telly work but Big Brother fans didn’t like him and consequently deals have been few and far between. Since the show ended his profile has been pretty low key. He presents a show on Oxford radio station Mix FM and presents on TV motoring show Top Gear. But 36 year old Stu for Oxford is guaranteed one thing – a regular slot in panto every Christmas.
Level-headed
Liz Woocock headed back home to Edinburgh after the series ended and appeared to shun a showbiz lifestyle. But she has not been short of offers for TV, radio and newspaper writing work. The 27 year old lass, who has a millionaire boyfriend, has appeared on the Radio 4 show Woman’s Hour, promoted Edinburgh on BBC1’s Holiday programme, and has penned several travel pieces. She has also taken to the air strapped to a biplane!.
Hunky romeo
Paul Clarke, who bragged he lived ‘like an international pop star’ before he entered the Big Brother house, has been kept quite busy. He has co-presented Channel 5’s Exclusive with Tess Daly and has secretly filmed two entertainment pilot shows. But the 26 year old hasn’t given up on his day job and has returned to his lucrative post as a car-door designer in Berkshire. The biggest change has been to his love life. The romance that grew on the show with fellow contestant Helen is still going strong – and they are tipped to wed this year.
Since leaving the house, gay star
Josh Rafter has signed with Next Models and has put in an appearance at last year’s London Fashion Week. The 33 year old gym fanatic from London has had a DJ slot with Virgin Radio, done a TV slot for Sky One, and even presented Top of the Pops. He has also launched his own health and fitness book. All that and he is still juggling his new glitzy career with his responsibilities as director of the UK gay property letting agency Outlet.
Cuddly Welsh girl
Helen Adams launched a thousand catchphrases (among them I Love Blinking I Do) while in the house and since she has been establishing herself as a TV star. She has bagged a £150,000 TV presenting job as the health and beauty expert on Lorraine Kelly’s Sky One show, and has been offered lots of other telly work. The 23 year old loveable blonde lass also released a fitness video in which she bounces around in front of a huge glittering sign reading ‘Helen’ – very tasteful. But her biggest prize has been a boyfriend – fellow contestant Paul Clarke – and the pair are tipped to tie the knot this year.
There you are! As Peachy said, nothing new there. In fact, we probably know a lot more than the Daily Star!
