Tashie Jackson first rose to prominence on series 12 of Big Brother, the first instalment of the Channel 5 days.
After mingling with the likes of guest star Pamela Anderson for four days in the house, the star did not last long on the social experiment.
She was one of the housemates to receive the most nominations within the first week.
After just eight days, she received the fewest votes from the public in a vote to save eviction.
The contestant was the first housemate from her series to be evicted from the house and be interviewed by host, Brian Dowling.
Since her short stint on reality TV, Tashie – who now goes by the name of Natasha Graziano – moved to the US.
But she had quite the journey, having found herself facing ruin after her spiralling debts which left herself and her son Rio, seven, homeless.
She was determined to better herself and provide for her son, and she worked her way back out of debt.
The former reality star works as a renowned mindset coach to a community of 10 million people and a motivational speaker who helps anyone looking for love to find their soulmate.
Her inspirational book The Action Plan about the law of attraction is a best-seller and Forbes named her as “the number one female motivational speaker under 40.”
But while Natasha acts as an inspiration to millions now, she is the first to admit that it took years for her to learn to motivate herself.
Speaking exclusively to The Sun’s Fabulous Magazine in 2022, she previously opened up about her rise to success.
Natasha explained: “I always looked at the cup as half empty rather than half full and when you look at the world like that you bring yourself down.
“Whether you believe it or not, the law of attraction is happening, like attracts like.”
Big Brother winners from over the years
Since launching in 2000, reality TV juggernaut Big Brother has crowned several champions over the years. Let’s take a look back at some of them.
Eight years ago, Natasha – who had previously worked as a model – raked up £150,000 of debt and could see no way out of her situation.
She explained: “It was very hard to admit that I needed any help, but when you are in debt that much, you have so much shame and guilt and you feel like the world is just shunning you.
“When I was forced to leave my home because of my spiralling debts I was forced to sell everything so I just had two suitcases and black bin liners on the back of his buggy.”
“I just went on the street and just prayed. I thought people would never take me seriously, I was really quite suicidal to be honest.”
