Big Brother's Anthony Hutton unrecognisable as past stars celebrate show's return

Big Brother star Anthony Hutton looked unrecognisable as he appeared on This Morning to discuss the show's return.

The 40-year-old appeared on the show and even won in 2005, but later stepped back from the spotlight to concentrate on his own business.

He was a mere 23 years old when he rose to fame, but now, he looks worlds away from that baby-faced winner.

The star sports a thick beard and perfectly-styled hair, which is no surprise considering he has a barbershop called Mr Hutton's in Durham.

He rocked a casual cream-coloured polo shirt and blue ripped jeans for the chat on the morning show.

Speaking about his win all those years ago, Anthony told This Morning hosts Vernon Kay and Rochelle Humes : "I'm just the most competitive man you'll ever meet.

"My mindset was 'I wanna be there until the end'. I didn't have a plan, I just always tried to be a nice guy."

He went on to discuss how he was such a huge fan of the show he 'couldn't believe' he got to stand in each room of the Big Brother house.

It comes after it was confirmed that the classic reality show is returning to TV, with ITV2 sharing a preview for the new series.

During last night's final of Love Island, the broadcaster shared a short trailer for the upcoming season. The iconic Big Brother eye appeared on screen with the show's theme tune playing.

Former host Rylan Clark also took to Twitter to share a picture of the eye.

He captioned it: "He was always watching… It’s coming home #bbuk."

Fans were over the moon with the news and took to social media to share their excitement with others.

Big Brother has not been on TV since 2018 when it was axed by Channel 5, but a "Big Brother for the Love Island generation" is planned to be shown on ITV2 from next year.

One insider said: "This needs to be totally new and fresh. It’s all about drawing in a young audience. The aim is to get back to basics and interfere less, with fewer challenges."

Former hosts Davina McCall, Emma Willis and Rylan are said to be unlikely to be involved in the reboot.

The series is set to air in 2023.
