Where Big Brother 14’s housemates are now – from a Hollywood star to benefits cheat forced to pay back £12,000
Can you recall the eventual winner?
BIG Brother 14 had a shiny new eco-inspired, Emma Willis-fronted makeover.
The presenter took over from Brian Dowling, while Big Brother’s Bit on the Side was hosted by Emma, Rylan Clark and AJ Odudu, who replaced Jamie East and Alice Levine.

It ran from 13 June to 19 August 2013 and, unlike the past two series, viewers voted to evict rather than save contestants.
There was ‘The People's Puppet’ aka professional actor Michael Dylan, a fake double eviction, a move into a secret safe house and a prize fund porky pie.
An expelled contestant, the first ever twins competing as a single housemate and a mother and daughter duo helped it become the most watched Channel 5 series of Big Brother UK.
