Former Big Brother star Ray Shah looks completely unrecognisable from his time in the house 20 years ago.
Ray first appeared on the show back in 2003 during the show’s fourth series, broadcast on Channel 4. After a long 64 days in the house, Ray emerged as the runner-up of the show, finishing second behind Cameron Stout.
The series continued to propel Big Brother as one of the biggest shows on British television at the time. But the series was controversial as housemates had to be evacuated from the house after a suspicious package had been found during a security check.

Ray became a fan favourite during his time on the show after he stood up fellow housemate Scot Federico. Scot had made misogynist and sexist comments about women, something that Shah had big problems with.

The cheeky chap from Dublin, aged 25 when he went into the house, also made headlines when he made a trip to the toilets to relieve himself in the middle of the night. After his time on the show, fame soon followed as he bagged himself a job on Irish radio – working at Q102, 4FM and iRadio.

As well as this, he became the resident DJ at the House nightclub in his native Dublin, as well as creating his own company dealing in supplements. He continued to keep himself hunky flaunting off his shredded figure as he set up his company, named Bodyfirst Nutrition.
Keeping his previous career in mind, he also set up BodyFirst Beats – a personalised radio for businesses. Since then, he has kept his radio career going as he works on Irish public broadcaster RTÉ’s radio station Radio Pulse every Friday from 8 to 10pm.
Big Brother is set to return to our screens on Sunday (October 8), as the show makes its debut on ITV2 after five years off the airwaves. The show is set to last for five weeks and will be hosted by AJ Odudu and Will Best.
