When Big Brother first hit UK screens back in 2000, nobody could have predicted how much it would change TV – or how many of its stars would end up rubbing shoulders with the glamour and babeshow world. But if you look back, the crossover is undeniable. Big Brother gave us tabloid icons, lads’ mag pin-ups, and yes… a few familiar faces who found their way onto the babe channel scene. Let’s take a trip down memory lane…
The Early Days (2000–2002)
The first couple of series were tame compared to what came later. Contestants like Craig Phillips and Anna Nolan were household names, but nobody was stripping off for Nuts just yet. Meanwhile, the babe channels were only just being born (Babestation launched in 2002).
Glamour crossover (2003–2005)
Then came Jade Goody (BB3) – not a babeshow babe herself, but a tabloid megastar whose fame paved the way for reality stars to hit the glamour mags. Around the same time, Michelle Bass (BB5) and Makosi (BB6) were turning heads with topless shoots and late-night chat line promos. It was the golden age of Zoo and Nuts, and guess what? Those same mags were plastered with Babestation ads. The lines were blurring fast.
2006–2008: Peak Crossover
Now we’re talking! Aisleyne Horgan-Wallace (BB7) became a lads’ mag queen and even popped up in adult TV guest spots. Lea Walker (BB7) was already a glamour model before she hit the house, so her transition into the babe-show world was effortless.
2009–2012: Glamour-to-Babestation Pipeline
Enter Sophie Reade (BB10 winner) – a glamour model and Page 3 girl whose name was often tied to Babestation campaigns. Around the same time, Imogen Thomas (BB7) built a massive glamour career that sat right alongside the babeshow universe. Big Brother winners weren’t just winning prize money… they were winning babe channel fame.
2013–2017: Celebrity Big Brother & Adult Stars
By now, the crossover was almost expected. Jodie Marsh (CBB4) and Chloe Khan (CBB18) both came in with established glamour/adult careers, with Chloe building an empire on webcamming and Playboy TV. Bianca Gascoigne made her CBB debut in 2017, by which time she was fully immersed in the glamour/babeshow circuit.
2018–Now: From Reality TV to OnlyFans
Contestants who go down the adult route tend to head straight to webcamming and OnlyFans, the same digital space that Babestation Cams dominates. Take Chloe Khan – her webcamming career mirrors the online side of Babestation, proving that the spirit of the babe channels is stronger than ever.

Reality TV made them famous… Babestation made them unforgettable.
Jemma Lucy -Tattooed Porn Star from Celeb Big Brother
Known for her bold performances, Jemma Lucy initially gained fame as an outspoken personality on reality TV. Seamlessly transitioning from mainstream television to the adult industry, she captivated audiences with her striking tattoos, curvy figure, and uninhibited demeanor. Lucy’s trademark confidence remains a key element in her porn videos, solidifying her reputation as a prominent and distinctive inked figure in the industry.
Rebecca Shiner, known as Bex Shiner from her time on Big Brother. Her journey post-reality TV led her to channels like TVX, Red Light Central and the famous Bap Station burger van, where she continues to engage viewers with her charisma.
Viewers wishing to see blonde Leylah Linda naked can join her on pervcam where they can get a close up view of her sensational natural big tits and sexy big ass. No topic is too taboo for Leylah, who is happy to discuss anything from foot worship and porn fantasies to BDSM on Babestation TV.
Sammie Pennington
Sammie Pennington, born on September 27, 1988, in London, England, is a British live cam babe and actress renowned for her presence in the fashion and glamour industry. Over the years, she has established herself as a prominent figure in modeling, acting, and commercial advertising as well as appearances on Studio66.
Studio 66 babe Thrall gained prominence in 2006 after winning the Miss Derby competition, which was organised by Lucie Hide, and subsequently competing in the Miss England pageant, finishing in the Top 10. After taking a break from modeling, she transitioned to presenting on Elite TV, where she participated in lesbian softcore porn alongside fellow presenters Gemma Massey and Dionne Daniels. In May 2012, she drew considerable media interest by appearing in the documentary Sex, Lies & Rinsing Guys, which explored the “rinsing” phenomenon – engaging men online to send her gifts from her Amazon wishlist. Later that August, she became a housemate on the tenth series of Celebrity Big Brother, where she was the fifth contestant evicted during a double eviction with journalist Samantha Brick, remaining in the house for seventeen of the twenty-four days. Additionally, Thrall ranked 10th on Google’s Zeitgeist list of Top trending British people for the year 2012.
Sophie Reade
Sophie Reade is almost unrecognisable now since her Big Brother debut. If you love stunning blondes with big tits and a perfectly toned ass (and let’s face it, who doesn’t?) Then you’re going to go wild for Sophie Reade! For those who don’t know Sophie, she’s only the WINNER OF BIG BROTHER!!! The blonde bombshell appeared in Big Brother’s tenth series back in 2009 when the show was still broadcast on Channel 4 and Davina McCall was the host. Cheshire-born Sophie was 20-years-old when she first went into the Big Brother house and was definitely the stunner of the bunch. .
The Big Picture
From the very beginning, Big Brother and Babestation were cut from the same cloth: voyeurism, real people turned into overnight stars, and audiences who couldn’t look away.
So next time you’re flicking through Babestation and recognise a familiar face from reality TV… just remember: the Big Brother house and the Babestation studio aren’t as far apart as you might think. Register now to talk to these legendary stars.
