Winner of Big Brother 5 Nadia stole the nations’ hearts when she became the first transsexual housemate.
Viewers fell in love with the Portuguese star for her emotional Diary Room entries as she wrestled with her feelings about her ‘secret’. Keeping it from her fellow housemates she worried about their reaction and that of the wider world outside.
She was crowned the winner after 71 days in the Big Brother house with a whopping 74% of the vote and said at the time she finally felt ‘accepted’ by the British public.
As a housemate she was famous for showering in her high heels, being ‘fabulous darling’ and creating her little gang the ‘lip gloss bitches’ with Michelle Bass and Marco.
When asked in 2008 if she would ever go back into the house Nadia said: “if you are the ultimate winner then you are the most amazing person ever.” But will the public agree?
