Big Brother’s Anthony Hutton unrecognisable 18 years after triumphant win

Anthony Hutton was just 23 years old when he won Big Brother – but now, he looks worlds away from that baby-faced winner.

The Geordie lad, now 40, first shot to fame after entering the country's most famous house in 2005.

Anthony ended up bagging himself the £50,000 jackpot prize after winning over the nation with his charming personality.

The then trainee barber, however, didn’t go amiss from a few controversies during his time on the noughties show.

Notably, Anthony made headlines when got steamy in the hot tub with fellow contestant Makosi Musambasi, leaving her thinking she could be pregnant.

The TV star soon took advantage of the fame he found after the show and did countless appearances at nightclubs around the country.

He also released his own 70s disco-inspired exercise DVD.

However, 18 years on since he was crowned the champ, and long gone is the fresh-faced Geordie lad that became a household name overnight.

Sporting a thick beard and long, perfectly-styled hair, these days Anthony looks completely different.

In a video posted to his TikTok, Anthony rocked a healthy head of locks and bushy facial hair while discussing his barbering business.

Before he entered the iconic house back in 2005, Anthony was a trainee barber living with his parents at their County Durham home. But fast-forward and he's put those same skills to use.

In 2016, he opened his own business, Mr. Hutton's Barbers and Bar, where he tutors trainee barbers and customers can get themselves a cocktail too.

While he enjoyed the limelight for years following his win, it seems Anthony is more than happy to be settled down with his family.

In his personal life, Anthony married his long-term girlfriend Sophie Crosby, who is a solicitor, back in 2019.

They welcomed their baby boy Cruz in August of 2021, before celebrating their second wedding anniversary in October.

Anthony previously told ChronicleLive all about his quick rise to fame after Big Brother.

He said: "When I first came off the show, my life completely changed, it was just turned upside down.”

“I went into the Big Brother house a lad from County Durham who lived at home and came out with people in the street knowing my name.

"The day I got off the show I was being contacted by agents and a couple of days later I was paid £200,000 to do a photo-shoot with OK magazine. From day one it was just crazy."
