Big Brother star is barely recognisable 14-years after being evicted and moving to LA to become a millionaire with VERY famous friends following battle with homelessness
Former Big Brother star Tashie Jackson looks barely recognisable a whopping 14-years after she first star evicted from the house during the show's 12th series.
The stunner, 35, now known as Natasha Graziano, has jumped the pond and built her own multi-million pound career in the US as a motivational speaker and podcasters, counting the the likes of Nick Cannon, 44, as friends.
Natasha only lasted four days in Big Brother back in 2011, in the first series after being rebooted by Channel 5, and after receiving the most nominations from fellow housemates and facing the public vote was met with boos upon her exit.
The mother-of-two is also a best selling author and according to Forbes Magazine is the '#1 Female Motivational Speaker under 40' and has also featured in Vogue and The New York Times and a whopping 14M followers on Instagram.
As well as presenting her podcast Laws Of Attraction Secrets, Natasha is also creator of the MBS Method (Meditational Behavioural Synchronicity) which claims to help transformation lives through ancient breathing techniques and meditation.
However her rise to the top has not been an easy one and told Fabulous Magazine in 2022 how she and her eldest son Rio, now seven, were left homeless amid her spiralling debts.
She told the publication: 'It was very hard to admit that I needed any help, but when you are in debt that much, you have so much shame and guilt and you feel like the world is just shunning you'.
'When I was forced to leave my home because of my spiralling debts I was forced to sell everything so I just had two suitcases and black bin liners on the back of his buggy.'
Before adding: 'I just went on the street and just prayed. I thought people would never take me seriously, I was really quite suicidal to be honest.'
Last week Celebrity Big Brother contestant Tila Tequila also looked worlds away from her extremely controversial time on the reality show.
The former glamour model and reality star, 43, was kicked off the 16th series of Celebrity Big Brother in 2015 after it emerged she previously posed in front of Auschwitz wearing Nazi gear and claimed to be 'Hitila' or 'Hitler reborn'.
She reportedly begged Channel 5 bosses to let her back into the CBB house by claiming she was high on drugs and severely depressed when she made the shocking comments.
In 2021, Perez Hilton shared a bizarre clip of Tequila ranting about resurrection which he captioned: 'This is what she's up to now.'
Tequila looked a far cry from her modelling days in the clip, with fans speculating that she could be on drugs as she reeled off bible passages about rising from the dead.
Long gone were her fair wavy locks and glitzy ensembles as she sported straight dark tresses and a conservative white blouse.
Another snap shared by fans showed Tequila with thin dark hair and sporting a very modest high-neck white blouse.
In 2018, Tequila called out social media users who had been scrutinising her physical appearance.
She wrote: 'Meanwhile, I find it hilarious how all the haters have been calling me "fat" and telling me that God is going to punish me for the things I have been saying and always trying to send curses my way. But God took all your wretched curses and turned them into huge blessings for me instead!!!! YAAAAAAAAAAY!!!'
Tequila's axing from the 2015 series of CBB, which was also known as Celebrity Big Brother: UK vs USA, came after her shockingly offensive posts, made in 2013, were unearthed.
The posts prompted complaints from hundreds of viewers as well as the Campaign Against Anti-Semitism, and she was removed from the house one day after entering.
A spokesman for Channel 5, that airs the programme, said at the time: 'Unfortunately, Channel 5 and Endemol did not know about the views and attitudes Tila had expressed in social media postings prior to her involvement in Celebrity Big Brother.
Tequila looked a far cry from her modelling days in the clip, with fans speculating that she could be on drugs as she reeled off bible passages about rising from the dead
'The views Tila had expressed, and permitted to remain uncorrected, are totally unacceptable and, accordingly, her continued involvement in the program was untenable.'
Speaking to The Sun on Sunday after her axing, she said: 'I was doing a lot of drugs and suffering from severe depression. I wasn't well in the head.'
Tequila strongly denied that she is anti-Semitic at the time - but in a series of online postings, including a blog entitled 'Why I sympathize with Hitler Part 1', she described the Nazi leader as a 'good man' who deserved forgiveness.
She has since referred to the killing of six million Jews by the Nazi regime as the 'Holohoax.'
Tequila was then banned from X, then-Twitter, the following year after a 24-hour Twitter tirade that began with wishing Adolf Hitler a happy birthday.
In a truly shocking rant, Tequila called the Nazi leader her 'boo,' claimed to be the reincarnation of the dictator and posted a photo of herself wearing a Nazi cap, Hitler mustache and Swastika armband.
'On this great day of 420 I will HONOR our TRUE KING! They tried to destroy your legacy, but I will fight for you!' she tweeted along with a black and white photo of Hitler.
In another tweet, she wrote: 'And happy birthday to my past life historical figure, most epic legend of all time, Mein Furhor (sic), Adolf Hitila! The MOST HIGH!'
'We all knew this day was coming! The 2nd coming of Christ in the end times prophecy has been fulfilled! #HeilHitila.'

Jack Fincham and Chloe Brockett 'back together again after sixth split'
Seventh time's a charm for Jack and Chloe, who have reunited again after a tough couple of months for the pair, reigniting the spark by going on a series of sweet dates with each other Love Island star Jack Fincham and his on-off girlfriend Chloe Brockett are back together, after six break-ups. Still not ready to full call it a day, the couple are trying again to make their relationship work. Only in April it was reported that the constant bickering and heated rows had become too much for the pair, who ended their relationship for the sixth time. But seventh time's the charm for the tumultuous couple, who have come to the realisation that they have something "special". Jack, who found fame on Love Island in 2018, was paired up on the show with Dani Dyer. But the pair didn't last, splitting up just a few months after leaving the villa. Dani, 28, later found love with West Ham footballer Jarrod Bowen, with the couple getting married last weekend. Jack moved on with TOWIE star Chloe, 24, after they got together in 2019, and they've finally put their differences aside, after being spotted at Bethnal Green's Columbia Road Flower Market. A source told the Sun: "Chloe and Jack have been on and off for months but have finally put their differences aside to give their relationship another chance. They really want to make it work so have been enjoying some lowkey dates as they gradually build the trust. "They have realised they have something special so want to put their time and energy into making it work." The Mirror has reached out to Jack and Chloe's reps for comment. In March, Chloe opened up about one of their rows, admitting she threw a virtual reality headset at her boyfriend in a rage. She spoke about it on Spread The Juice podcast, explaining she had bought him the headset as a Christmas gift. She told host Jemma Lucy: "I bought Jack a Meta Quest for Christmas and I threw the Meta Quest at him. I just threw it at him." She revealed her reason for the aggressive moment was simply because she was "angry". At the time, Chloe insisted the pair were still an item. She told her Instagram followers: "For anyone concerned, I am very much still in a relationship. The last few months been very hard for everyone involved." She seemed to be referring to his court case, in which he avoided prison time after winning an appeal against his six week prison sentence. He was initially charged and convicted of being in charge of a dangerously out-of-control dog. But after the appeal, he was given a further three-month suspended sentence. This was added to his 18-month suspended sentence for a drug-driving offence in March 2024. They then split, with Jack admitting in May they were living apart. He told the Sun: "Chloe and I haven't been in a great place. I'm living at my mum's and she has moved out of the house we lived in and into her own flat. "I don't know what will happen between us. I still love her. I doubt it's over for good. We've been through a hell of a lot in the past couple of years."

New babies announced in unusual way in Switzerland as people left baffled
A woman who has moved to Switzerland has shared interesting insights she has discovered since moving - and people are only just finding out about the sweet way that new babies are celebrated The arrival of a newborn is always a cause for celebration, with baby showers, 'welcome to the world ' parties, and an array of gifts, balloons, and cards marking the occasion worldwide. Yet, many have only just cottoned on to the charming tradition that heralds the birth of babies in Switzerland. Curiosity has been piqued among travellers to Switzerland who've spotted curious signs adorned with animals or characters, alongside a name and date of birth, leaving them puzzled about their meaning. An Australian woman, now residing in Switzerland and known as Aussie Spat mum online, has taken to sharing fascinating customs she's encountered since her move. In a video, the mum revealed: "In Switzerland, when a baby is born, the whole village gets the news... literally!". She elaborated: "Birth signs with the baby's name and date of birth pop up on buildings, balconies and front yards to welcome the newest little one!". These birth announcements, referred to as 'Geburtstafeln', are essentially birth signs usually mounted on poles or trees. They remain on display until family and friends have visited to fete the new arrival, after which they are removed. Commenting on the Instagram post, an individual explained: "Let me share how it's done in central Switzerland: you get them from friends, family, godparents or your 'verein'. After one year, the parents are supposed to take them down with a 'Täfelifescht'. This means you organise a barbecue or similar social gathering event where all the people are invited who got you a sign." Another Swiss person chimed in: "We use this as an open competition for the worst baby names." While one commenter was charmed by the tradition: "I need to experience this land of joy and happiness." One user shared that they follow a similar custom in the Netherlands, while someone else noted: "In Germany some people show it by hanging newborn clothes or a little wooden stork outside as well." On Reddit, a Nidwalden resident mentioned: "I live in Nidwalden, close to Lucerne and they're so normal here that it's seen as odd when people don't do it. They're called 'Geburtstafeln', so literally 'birth signs'. They are hanged on the balcony when a child is born and they have the name of the child and its birth date written on them." Another Reddit user added: "This is common in Switzerland especially in the German speaking part. They have this and later on the kids keep them." Someone else pointed out former US practices, stating that although this used to be more common stateside, "police recommend against it because it puts your child at risk of abduction." Meanwhile, Welcome Switzerland highlighted the unique cultural practice on Facebook, saying: "In Switzerland, welcoming a newborn means more than just cards and social media posts!". "Families proudly announce the arrival with cute front yard signs, especially in rural areas! Does your country have a unique way to celebrate new arrivals?". According to website Geburtstafeln Schweiz, these signs can be quite expensive, costing between £90 and £120 for one.
