BIG Brother legend Nadia Almada turned her back on fame ten years ago - but now she is gearing up for a comeback on OnlyFans after a surgery makeover.

The iconic first, and only, transgender winner of the groundbreaking reality show has spent the last decade working as a hairdresser but she isn't done with the spotlight yet.

Speaking exclusively to The Sun, Nadia, now 46, has revealed all about her life today and plans for the future, almost twenty years after winning Big Brother in 2004.

"Obviously after the show ended, I got work and money was made of course but in those days, as a trans woman, I didn't have the same opportunities.

"Jade Goody, for example, made millions out of Big Brother with her own perfume and magazine deals and that was amazing, but when a brand wanted someone to advertise a new hair product or something, they wouldn't come to a trans woman to be the face of that. They wanted to appeal to the masses."

When the showbiz work dried up, Nadia decided it was high time she got herself a profession and trained as a hair stylist with Vidal Sasoon.

Speaking to us ahead of the show's upcoming reboot on ITV2, Nadia explains: "I have been doing hair for the last ten years. I work exclusively with private clients and I am very happy with that. It’s very private and very personal.

"People might think of doing hair as a mundane job but it's really creative and I like the quiet life away from fame. I do still get recognised though, especially when I am open my mouth! Everyone knows my voice..."

Although she is happy with her life today, she wouldn't say no to certain opportunities in the public eye.

"If ITV called me to do I’m A Celeb, I am happy to go with that, why not?" she laughs. "Also maybe I could do that middle-aged Love Island show! I know it's meant to be for parents and I don't have kids, but I could go in as an aunty? "

She also has her sight set on making a bit of money on adults-only site OnlyFans.

"I have an OnlyFans but I don't have anything on it at the moment," she reveals. "I need to put some effort into it. Maybe I will post some pictures of my feet and toes, there is a market for that.

"I wouldn't go fully nude, but I would shower in my heels on there, as that's what everyone remembers me for and of course I still do that!"

She would also show a new side to her fans on the platform, as Nadia reveals she is currently undergoing cosmetic surgery on her face.

"I have just had a lot of gender-affirming surgery on my face and I am going back to do a little bit more," she tells us. "I am having a facelift too, because darling, I am a lady of a certain age.

"I'm a dinosaur now, so things like botox and fillers don't do the trick. My face just absorbs it! I am going to go to Turkey too and get my teeth done. I guess you could say I am having a mummy makeover.

"I respect the natural look, each to their own, but it's not for me!"
