Big Brother's Anthony Hutton is unrecognisable 16 years after winning the show

Anthony Hutton rose to fame after winning Big Brother’s sixth series.

The cheeky Geordie was crowned the winning housemate when the show's final aired on Channel 4 in 2005.

Anthony entered the Big Brother house when he was 23 and had a decent spell in the limelight after the series ended.

Following his appearance on the show, he released a 70s disco inspired workout DVD, as well as performing at many nightclubs and venues around the country.

The Newcastle-born lad, now 39, became a household name overnight, going from being a trainee barber living with his parents to a national celebrity with thousands in the bank.

Recalling the whirlwind that took over his life, Anthony previously told Chronicle Live : "When I first came off the show, my life completely changed, it was just turned upside down.

"I went into the Big Brother house a lad from County Durham who lived at home and came out with people in the street knowing my name.

"The day I got off the show I was being contacted by agents and a couple of days later I was paid £200,000 to do a photo-shoot with OK magazine.

"From day one it was just crazy."

Now with a completely different lifestyle, Anthony is a doting dad who runs his own barber's shop.

He owns and runs Mr Hutton's Barbers and Bar in Darlington in the North East.

The former reality TV star also runs his own hairdressing academy where he offers training to aspiring barbers and he has been offering this online during the pandemic, according to OK!.

Anthony married his long term solicitor girlfriend Sophie Crosby in 2019.

The couple celebrated their second wedding anniversary in October, and share a baby boy, Cruz, who was born in August of this year.
