Charley on Big Brother
Fans of Big Brother will remember Charley from her stint on the show back in 2007. She featured in the same series as Brian Belo and Chanelle Hayes.
Charley, who hailed from South London and was 21 at the time, became known for her fiery temper and clashed with Chanelle several times over the course of the series.
The star was also involved in one of the show’s most famous twists, when she was fake evicted.
She exited the house to a silent crowd, before being informed by Davina that her “eviction” was all part of a twist.
Charley was eventually evicted on Day 59, finishing in 14th place.
