Ever since Big Brother returned to our screens last month, night after night viewers have been treated to the latest drama, shenanigans and nail-biting tasks from within the Big Brother house. Yet despite having grown attached to this year’s contestants in the short time we’ve known them, there is still so much to learn about their lives outside of the show, with many fans curious about everything from their day jobs to love lives.

Big Brother made its comeback earlier this month, and fans of the iconic series have already been treated to drama, wholesome moments, and, of course, heaps of laughter. Liverpudlian housemate Paul has found himself one of the show's more controversial contestants, after being embroiled in immature arguments. But away from the cameras, what else do we know about Paul? What age is he? Paul is 23 years old.

Anthony Hutton was crowned the winner of Big Brother during series six and is now living a very different life, having swapped reality TV for family life.

After taking home the cash prize Antony confessed that he went "a bit crazy" having bought a Range Rover and taken his friends to Las Vegas.

Former Celebrity Big Brother star, Nicola McLean, has opened up about the behind-the-scenes reality of the nominations process on the popular reality show.

Big Brother star Dylan Tennant quickly became a favourite among fans of the ITV2 show, thanks to his caring nature and ability to stay away from the drama.

Pete Bennett first rose to fame after winning Big Brother in 2006 and was praised by many for raising awareness of his Tourette's syndrome on the reality TV show.

Big Brother's live eviction shows give housemates a chance to get an idea of how they're being perceived by the public while on the show, with the eliminations being the only time they get to interact with the outside world. Finding out whether they're loved or hated by viewers can be tough, as controversial housemate Kerry Riches found out during the second live eviction. The NHS manager, 40, was left devastated when the entire audience could be heard chanting "get Kerry out" and she later admitted that being booed had made her feel "rubbish" in the diary room as she began to wonder about how her loved ones were being impacted.

Roxanne Pallett made a name for herself in the soap world when she was cast as Jo Stiles in the ITV soap, Emmerdale.The 40 year old joined the show in 2005, and remained a staple character until 2008, when she decided to leave the Yorkshire Dales for good. During her stint on the show, Roxanne enjoyed plenty of good press, including nominations for several awards. From Sexiest Female, Best Storyline, and Best Actress at The British Soap Awards, the Inside Soap Awards, and the TV Quick Awards, respectively, Roxanne also enjoyed plenty of juicy plots to dig her teeth into.

Since arriving on our screens back in July, Coronation Street newcomer Stephanie Davis has been delighting audiences as Courtney Vance, the glamorous wife of Dev Alahan’s business associate Darren Vance.

Big Brother 2023 is currently in full swing, and so far, we've already had a number of almost row worthy moments, with cracks beginning to show about how people really feel about each other. While we all know Kerry, 40, and Farida, 50, didn't see eye to eye from the start, the latest nominations have proved that other housemates are beginning to grate on one another, too.

Long before she became one of the most popular and well-known presenters on This Morning, Josie Gibson found TV fame in an entirely different way. The Bristol-born star was the first housemate to enter the Big Brother house in 2010, and her down-to-earth attitude and a sweet romance with Aussie housemate John James Parton won her legions of fans - leading her to be crowned the winner of the series.

The Big Brother reboot has been taking over our lives as of late - and if we're being honest - we're not about to change that any time soon.
