Big Brother winner Sophie Reade unrecognisable as she swaps TV for OnlyFans 13 years on

She is known for stealing the crown after she won the tenth series of Channel 4 reality show Big Brother back in 2009.

Now, professional model Sophie Reade, 33, looks almost unrecognisable compared to her days inside the infamous Channel 4 house.

The OnlyFans star hailing from Cheshire won the hearts of the British public during her stint on the hit TV show and even went on the change her middle name to “dogface” as part of a challenge.

During her time on the show, she received the highest percentage of votes for a winner on any series of the long-standing reality show to date.

And it’s fair to say the glamour model looks worlds away from her Big Brother days as she continues to model professionally online.

As fans of the reality show excitedly submit their applications to take part on new series set to launch on ITV next year, Daily Star has taken a look inside her dramatic transformation.

Big Brother fame

When the reality star stole the thrown from previous winner Rachel Rice at the age of 20, the starlet sported peroxide blonde hair complete with a headful of hair extensions.

She also confessed that she had a boob job done months in preparation for the show which complimented her golden tan on the show.

In an exclusive interview with Daily Star, Sophie looked back on the event with fondness as she recalled how different she looked during the mid-noughties.

The professional model confessed: “I think I look completely different with everything.

“God, I sported the bleached blonde hair like all the Playboy bunnies back in the day.

“It’s definitely helped with my modelling because I did Page 3 on my 18th birthday for the Daily Star so I was doing all that before.

“But obviously going on there [Big Brother] helped me and boosted me up so my modelling [took off].

“That’s really helped by putting me out there and giving me a bigger fanbase so that changed a lot for me.”

Gorgeous natural looks

Now, Sophie sports a lot more natural look after she decided to ditch the bleach blonde locks for dusty blonde tresses.

Speaking about how her appearance has changed 13 years after she won the show, she added: “My hair has gone darker; I've gone more natural blonde now.

“I’ve gone more like natural with my hair and even with my makeup and everything, all that stuff’s gone more natural I think but I think as you get more older you get more confident in yourself.

“Like I'm more comfortable being more natural rather than being dead glam now.”

Curvaceous weight gain

Another aspect of her life that has changed since she left the show has been her increased weight gain with the blonde bombshell now sporting a killer hourglass figure.

Sophie has embraced her curvaceous figure as she regularly finds herself spilling out of her racy lingerie in her raunchy Instagram snaps.

She explained: “I’m not as slim as I was back then, I'm more curvier. When I look back at those pictures I think, ‘Bloody hell I’m tiny!’”

The star revealed contestants would be given takeaway every Thursday in the Big Brother house (sophiereadeofficial/Instagram)

The model went on to reveal how contestants in the Big Brother house used to get pizza delivered to the house every Thursday.

She admitted: “If we had a bad week and we hadn’t had much food we’d get Domino’s pizza every Thursday and they’d send it in and that used to be dead good.

“I put so much bloody weight on in there, I could have done without the Dominos I think – I came out about a stone heavier.

Cosmetic tweakments

After she won the show, the model was catapulted to fame where she embraced all aspects of stardom as a hugely popular glamour model.

The star went on to enhance her figure with a slew of cosmetic treatments to enhance her hourglass figure.

Before she went on the show, Sophie confessed: “I’ve had my boobs done before I went on to Big Brother and I'm actually going next week to get a Brazilian butt lift.

“Do you know what? I like it, I think if it makes you happy and it’s your body you can do what you want with it can’t you so I think I'm open to it.

“It doesn’t bother me I'm all for it. I don’t want to age gracefully I'd rather go down staying young forever.

But Sophie explained her tweakments are all about enhancing her natural beauty (Twitter/ @MissSophieReade)

However, the star now prefers to get more subtle tweakments that enhance her natural beauty such as touches of Botox and natural plumping of her full lips.

She added: “Natural looks nice as well so not everybody needs it. i think it’s just about enhancing what you’ve already got isn’t it but then some people go too far.

“God, I used to have my lips done and whereas now, I have it done like Botox but it’s dead subtle so you can’t really tell, it’s more about enhancing what I've already got.”
