They don't become stars anymore. The most followed twitter houseguest [that wasn't a reality star prior or in the public eye; Chanelle, Kayleigh, Rebecca, Lotan]
Like Raph, Deborah etc have below 4,000 twitter followers, people like Simone have below 1k. BB gets you about 5k twitter followers now if your lucky and a popular houseguest. When Josie/John James/Sam Pepper were on in the final series of BB on ch4, it got them each over 120k twitter followers within days. [Heck even in BB14 Gina, Dexter etc got 70k followers after leaving, something big happened between BB14 to now about the interest of BB and the houseguests]
Love Island also gets all the contestants that are in longer than a week 50k plus twitter followers, they become reality stars. The public don't have interest in the BB houseguests.
