Big Brother star unrecognisable 14 years after being axed from house

Tashie entered the Big Brother house back in 2011. An infamous Big Brother star who was axed from the house after just eight days now looks completely unrecognisable.

Tashie Jackson is remembered for her brief stint on series 12 of Big Brother, during the days it was aired on Channel 5.

After sharing the house with future winner Aaron Allard-Morgan and guest star Pamela Anderson, belly dancer Tashie, who was aged 21 at the time, unfortunately did not last very long.

Within the first week she was the housemate who received the most nominations from other celebrities.

Then, after just eight days she was evicted by the public after receiving the fewest votes.

Now, however, Tashie goes by the name of Natasha Graziano and has moved to the US.

She is also a renowned mindset coach to a community boasting 10 million people and is a motivational speaker.

Her book The Action Plan was a best-seller and Forbes named her as the ‘number one female motivational speaker under 40’.

In an interview with The Sun in 2022, Natasha spoke about her rise to success.

‘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.’

Now, the former contestant is a mindset coach

Her success came after she spiralled into severe debt and became homeless with her son.

She added: ‘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.’
