Celebrity Big Brother icon Stacy Francis looks completely unrecognisable six years after the Channel 5 show.
The Ex-Girlfriend girl band star was known for her turbulent love life, including a very heated row with none other than Whitney Houston. In the Big Brother house, she rocked dark curls and was often seen in tracksuits and hoodies – but now she looks totally different.
Stacy has now undergone a complete transformation, going platinum blonde rather than her usual brunette locks. In one close-up selfie taken in December 2023, she painted on a bright scarlet lip and spidery lashes, easing a gold pendant necklace around her throat to peer into the camera.

She captioned the eye-catching snap: “In the tapestry of my life, I’ve woven threads of strength, resilience, and self-discovery. As a strong woman, I’ve faced the turbulent winds of mistakes and false accusations, emerging not broken, but forged in the fires of adversity.

“Through forgiveness, I reclaimed my power, refusing to let bitterness erode the foundation of who I am.It wasn’t about excusing wrongdoing; rather, it was a declaration that my spirit couldn’t be imprisoned by the misconceptions of others.”
First rising to fame on the US edition of The X Factor, Stacy later became an actress and TV presenter – but she didn’t manage to stay out of trouble for very long. Just two days before iconic songstress Whitney Houston passed away in 2012, reports of a conflict between the pair arose.

Whitney was rumoured to be dating Ray J up until her death – and she allegedly walked in on him chatting to Stacy backstage. Claims arose that Whitney, who had been drinking tequila, began to yell and gesticulate at Stacy, who began a row in response.
Bystanders allegedly had to split the pair up when they nearly came to blows, as Ray J reportedly watched from the sidelines.
She finally opened up about the viral incident on CBB in 2017, explaining: “Ray J threw me under the bus. When people in America tried to make me out to be something I wasn’t, he never stood up for me. I want to know why he never said anything.

“When Whitney Houston’s sister Pat went on the Oprah show and said I was stalking Whitney Houston in the club, I was not, we were all standing there talking and having a good time, he knows that, he knows the events of the whole night.”
Stacy added: “He never said this is a friend of my family. I’ve known Ray and his family over 15 years; he never came to bat for me. I wish he had the heart to say she wasn’t stalking Whitney in the club, she’s a friend. It was a hard time, I lost everything.”
