We may know her from ITV's This Morning, but Alison Hammond rose to fame after taking part in Big Brother’s third series.
The popular Brummie entered the iconic bungalow in 2002 - aged 27 - and was in the house for just fifteen days.
Alison was the second contestant to be evicted, with Kate Lawler eventually being crowned the winner, but the now 46-year-old has managed to carve out an impressive TV career for herself following the short stint.

Other iconic characters in the series included Adele Roberts and the late Jade Goody.
Alison has previously said she is grateful she was voted off so soon.
The star told Heat magazine: "I always think, ‘What would’ve happened if I’d won Big Brother? Would my career have gone in this direction?’
"And I don’t believe it would have, because the This Morning producer who watched my best bits never watched Big Brother, but had just happened to turn on.”
Alison was made a permanent Friday host of This Morning earlier this year and co-hosts the end of week episode alongside Dermot O’Leary – a former Big Brother’s Little Brother presenter.
She has also appeared on many other shows over the years, including I'm A Celebrity..., Stars In Their Eyes, and Hell's Kitchen.
Prior to entering the Big Brother house, Alison worked as a holiday rep.
In recent years, the star has undergone a transformation after making changes to her diet and starting a fitness routine.
At her heaviest, the presenter revealed she weighed 20 stone and decided to make a change.
She has since confessed a newfound confidence, saying: "I never really liked my face without make-up as I have dark patches but now I’m totally loving myself and falling in love with me while I'm away on holiday.
"I don’t have to have make-up to be beautiful because I’m beautiful full stop. Yes! Please join my crusade of loving yourself!”
Last week, Alison shared a series of snaps with her Instagram followers, showing different looks from the past twelve months.
The star looks completely different to how she did in the BB house - with a number of glamorous looks and hairstyles.
She also looks incredibly happy and confident in her own skin.
One fan called her a "goddess", while another said she looks "divine".
