Big Brother star Helen Adams' quiet life as hairdresser as she leaves fame behind her

She became a household name after she appeared on the second series of Big Brother back in 2001.

But it looks as though Helen Adams, 42, has left her life of fame and fortune behind her for a much quieter life.

The former reality TV star was spotted looking chic in an all-black outfit as she arrived at Elements Hair And Beauty Salon in Portishead, near Bristol, last year.

Remembered for her daring red-carpet ensembles in the early 2000’s, Helen cut a casual figure for her latest appearance as she sported a loose black top and a pair of cigarette trousers.

The blonde beauty finished off the dressed-down look with a pair of blue trainers as she made her way to work while gripping three carrier bags along the way.

Helen accessorised her outfit with a chunky silver necklace and some matching earrings as she sported a full face of glamourous makeup.

Back in the early days of Big Brother, Helen captivated audiences with her loud personality, and it's safe to say her whirlwind romance with co-star Paul Clarke gripped the nation at the time.

Helen, who was just 22-years-old at the time clicked with Paul immediately, and the smitten couple’s love story is still remembered as one of the biggest romance stories to ever emerge from Big Brother.

After the series ended, Helen and Paul's romance blossomed in the real world.

The pair were offered their very own fly-on-the-wall TV series, but they decided to turn it down in a bid to focus on their life together.

The former lovebirds even bought a house together in North London, but in 2006, their love story came to an end.

While Helen has since returned to her hairdressing roots, Paul is believed to have gone back to work as a car designer.

Helen now enjoys a quiet life lives Bristol with her husband and daughter.
