Celebrity Big Brother star Donny Tourette looks unrecognisable nearly 18 years since his reality TV stint. The singer appeared on the show in 2007 and is best known as the lead singer of Towers of London.
Donny, 44, made headlines during his time on CBB, as he exited the house just three days into the series. He opted to depart the show after he became aware that Jade Goody and some of her relatives, including mum Jackiey Budden, were due to arrive in the house.
The punk rocker famously climbed over the wall to get out of the CBB house, with help from Steps star Ian ‘H’ Watkins. Donny was unimpressed about some housemates becoming ‘servants’ before his exit.
“I’m not f**king waiting hand and foot on some f**king moron and her family,” he said at the time.
Nearly two decades later, Donny looks unrecognisable after undergoing a huge transformation. He previously posted photos to Instagram showing off his new look, but has since made his account private.
Clips of him roller skating in California revealed Donny has ditched his platinum blonde hair and pink clothes, replacing them with a more laid-back style.
One video showed the singer sporting yellow shorts and a Nike top, while skating to Good Vibrations by The Beach Boys.
Following his stint on CBB, Donny appeared on comedy panel game show Never Mind the Buzzcocks. He’s since been busy making music with his band Towers of London.
The group launched an extended play in 2022 called Yet to Be, featuring tracks such as Jump, which is said to have featured in the TNT series Animal Kingdom.
The band once tweeted: “We recently had our music played on a TNT series called Animal Kingdom the song is called Jump and it’s on our new EP! Thanks to everyone who made it happen.”
A documentary, initially dubbed Towers of London: The Movie, was produced by the band in 2019. The project later changed its name to ‘F**K IT UP!’ before its planned release in 2022.
Celebrity Big Brother is set to kick off on 8 April on ITV1. It will mark the second series on ITV, following the first season in 2024, which was won by David Potts.
Hosted by AJ Odudu and Will Best, the celebrities rumoured to be entering the CBB house this year include Chris Hughes, Danny Beard, Annie Kilner, Paul Chuckle, Jack P Shepherd and Ella Rae Wise.
