FANS of the original reality television series, Big Brother, are looking forward to the relaunch of the series this evening (Sunday).

AJ Odudu and Will Best will host the revived Big Brother which will air on ITV this evening, (October 8).

The show, in which housemates live together in a custom-built home for weeks without access to the outside world, was a reality television juggernaut in the 2000s before the last series was shown on Channel 5 in 2018. 

Worcestershire has had contestants in the past who featured on various series of the show, but where are they now?

In Big Brother 4, screened in 2003, Annuszka Nowak - better known as Nush - became another Worcestershire contestant on the show.

She was a sales assistant from Malvern who was evicted on day 57 in the house.

After leaving the House, Nush went on to study psychology.

Also in Big Brother 4 we had Stephanie Coldicott from Redditch.

Stephanie left on day 64 and finished fourth in the series.

A former footballer's wife Steph, who reverted to her maiden name of Smith after the show, started her own arts and crafts business and worked at a high school in Birmingham. 

She told us in 2008 she was enjoying life out of the public eye.

"Being in Big Brother did change my life, but not necessarily for the right reasons," she told us.

"Looking back now I don't think I would do it again, but I have no regrets."
