Big Brother star unrecognisable nearly 20 years after being axed from show
Former Big Brother star Emily Parr made a name for herself for the wrong reasons following her stint on Big Brother back in 2007 and now 17 years she looks completely different
When she appeared on Big Brother in 2007 Emily Parr was a 19 year old drama student who managed to blight her brief experience on the show with a racist comment.
Back then, the blonde reality TV star, looked young, similar to that of most students her age. But now, 17 years on from being kicked off the Channel 4 show, after making a racist remark to one of her fellow housemates, Emily looks sophisticated, elegant and demure.
The social media lifestyle influencer, 36, who boasts 50,000 followers, now sports a flattering shoulder length bob hair style. In one of her pictures, she looks red carpet ready as she tied her hair up leaving the front section to frame her face and wore a satin off the shoulder dress.

Meanwhile in another snap, she showcased a flawless complexion as she wore her hair down. Her social media posts have also revealed the she is set to walk down the aisle which explains why she is posting bridal related content, including beauty products.
Emily left the eighth series of Big Brother in a wave of controversy. At the time, the show was won by Brian Belo. But aside from Brian's magnetic personality, the show went down in history after producers felt it necessary to axe her from the show. While speaking to her housemate Charley Uchea in the garden, she was seen making a racist comment.
And in the early hours of the morning, she was escorted out of the house which was closely followed by a heartfelt apology. She explained to viewers at the time, who found her comment highly offensive: "There’s no amount of words that can cover how sorry and how stupid I’ve been. But we’ve all got to move on now, and all I ask from anyone reading this is that they understand what really happened and accept my apology."
And in an interview with OK! in 2021, she admitted that her controversial time on the show was a period in her life that she "tries to not revisit." She said: "The media noise and intrusion was bad, but what was worse and lasted for a while was the deep shame I felt about what I had said. The only way I’ve found I could move forward from my mistake was to educate myself and develop a much better understanding of what these racial slurs mean and why they are so awful." She continued: "As well as having a better understanding of racism and how it manifests in our society today."'
