A previous Big Brother winner is living a dramatically different life after turning his back on fame almost two decades ago.
Anthony Hutton went on to win the £50k jackpot back in 2005 after making quite a splash on the TV show.
However, he is now looking completely different and has left his life of fame behind.
The now 40-year-old has certainly matured as he is now sporting a full grown beard and dark brunette hair.
The Big Brother winner was living with his parents and was a trainee barber when he was on the show, but now he is living his dream and owns his own barber shop.

Anthony now owns a hair salon (ITV)"I started doing research about it and couldn’t find anything like it – though Carlsberg had an advert saying, ‘if we did barber shops’, and that’s the kind of concept I’ve gone for.
"I’ve been in Darlington for the last three years with my partner, Sophie, and we have a lot of friends and support in the area. When we saw the spot had become available, we just had to have it."
Despite now living a quieter life, Anthony has opened up in the past about what it was like when he was crowned the winner of Big Brother.
