NEW Big Brother housemate Emma Morgan looked worlds away from her current reality TV stint in unearthed photos from her past.
Not only is her appearance drastically different, Emma’s career choice from 2008 was vastly different from her current day-to-day role as an aesthetics practitioner.
Emma was among the group of 16 stars who walked into the famous ITV house last night during Big Brother’s live launch.
The bubbly 53-year-old wasted no time getting to know her co-stars as she made a good impression on the viewing public.
However, the star would appear unrecognisable in throwback photos from her time training to be a boxer.
Gone were her blonde locks with Emma instead sporting a full head of brown hair.
She donned a full fringe in her classic look and looked completely different from her current self.
Even more surprisingly, Emma partook in boxing back in the late noughties.
Emma opted to get into the sport after having all of her children.
She attempted to win the British Boxing Federation’s bantamweight title against Shannee “Killer Queen” Martin at the time.
Then aged 33, she told the Daily Star at the time: “My grandfather was a professional boxer and my dad was a London schoolboys’ champion, so it has been in the family for a long time.
“I’ve always thought that I could do it and I asked Wayne [Barker, her trainer] if he could help me learn the ropes.
“I don’t know what he thought at first, but he agreed to help and it has really paid off. I love training – but I can’t wait to get in the ring for real.”
As Emma made her way into the house, it became clear that she had already met one of her fellow housemates.
She appeared to confess that she had been with 20-year-old Charlie during the show’s audition process.
Emma declared: “I saw you at the audition and I was like he’s going to get in the house!”
This revelation managed to get under the skin of many Big Brother viewers who were left fuming that the contestants were already recognising each other from the lengthy audition process.
It caused them to hit out on X – formerly Twitter – to question their past meeting.
One said online: “I saw you at auditions” so what you’re telling me is some of them have deffo already met #BBUK.”
Another added: “The fact they all know each other from auditions??? literally why? #bbuk.”
A brand new batch of Big Brother housemates are living it up in the famous compound.
