Big Brother 7's golden ticket winner Suzie Verrico now – small following and plush pad

Suzie Verrico is best known for her iconic TV moment with Nikki Grahame, while the pair were in the Big Brother house back in 2006.

But where is Suzie now, and what did she get up to after her TV stint?

The stunning brunette was the 'golden ticket' winner housemate on Big Brother 7, who won a spot in the famous house after nabbing the winning ticket a promotion with Nestlé.

At the time she was just 43 years of age, and became instantly known across the country after getting into a heated row with Nikki Grahame (check out the video above).

It all kicked off because Suzie entered the house a short while after the original set of housemates, which meant she had special privileges.

As well as the privileges she had, she was also made to nominate one of the other housemates – whom she didn't know too well – to be evicted.

Suzie nominated Nikki – which didn't go well at all and ended up creating one of the most memorable TV moments from the noughties.

Going completely mad at the newcomer, Nikki stormed into the Big Brother diary room where she couldn't contain her anger and frustration.

"I am feeling very venomous and angry," Nikki ranted.

"How dare she vote for me. She doesn't even know me. She doesn't even know who I am.

"What I am like. She has never even spoken to me. She wouldn't even give me a chance. She wouldn't even look at me."

She then asked: "What have I done?

"She has just come in here...marched in here in her golden gown and ousted me out and it is not fair."

The iconic TV star then blurted out the most memorable lines from the BB house: "Who is she? Who is she? Where did you find her? I hate her...I don't even want to look at it."

Both Suzie and Nikki went on to make it quite a way through the reality competition, with Suzie placing eighth and Nikki fifth.

When entering the house, Suzie was already a model who had starred in a slew of adverts and at the time had a 21-year-old daughter.

She won a golden ticket to enter the house after her millionaire Italian husband of then-six-years Cosmo Verrico bought 60 boxes of KitKats in a bid to nab a coveted ticket.

The ticket ended up costing him £4,000 but was well worth it because Suzie's stint in the house led to her being nationally known for a short while.

Prior to finding a sought after ticket and then bagging a spot in the house, Suzie had already auditioned for the popular then-Channel 4 programme three times.

When she was evicted from the house, Suzie told host Davina McCall that the housemates were irrelevant because she was only taking part because she wanted a career in TV.

But her exposure gained didn't last long and after the show she went on to run an online shopping company.

Suzie and her beau ended up moving from Kent to a townhouse in Chelsea – with the couple believed to own a mansion in West Malling.

In 2022 Suzie keeps a low profile and has just 500 followers on Instagram, with a feed full of selfies, throwback snaps and photos of her dogs.
