Big Brother legend remains ageless 25 years after iconic reality show debut

Melanie Hill: Where is she now?

Big Brother star Melanie Hill continues to flaunt her timeless appearance, a quarter of a century after rising to fame on the groundbreaking reality show. Evicted after 57 days in fourth place on the inaugural series, Mel has since embraced motherhood, raising four children.

The former marketing specialist, now 50, initially applied for the fly-on-the-wall program due to her fascination with its technical aspects. "I loved the cameras, the live feed, and editing 24 hours down to one show," she shared.

Remembering the series

Melanie, often dubbed the "series flirt," made headlines during her time in the house for her romantic entanglements, setting a record with two million eviction votes after kissing fellow contestants Andrew Davidson and Tom McDermott in the first series. Following her reality TV stint, she engaged in a three-year relationship with series three hunk Alex Sibley.

Life after Big Brother

Since her reality TV days, Melanie has pivoted to a career as a barrister and now resides in London as part of a family of six humans and two dogs. She describes herself as being on a zero-waste journey and addicted to vintage.

Reflections on fame

Recalling her post-show experiences, Mel expressed surprise at the level of attention she received. "People would follow me down the street. I was kind of demonized because people thought I was quite flirty and they didn’t like that," she revealed. Despite the challenges, she cherishes her role in the birth of reality television.

Notable co-stars

Sharing the series with "Nasty Nick," infamous for attempting to manipulate nominations, Melanie's fellow housemates included eventual winner Craig Phillips, who captured the nation's hearts. Phillips, a building company boss, went on to launch a successful career as a DIY expert and television host.
