A former Big Brother contestant who was evicted from the house after just eight days has undergone a dramatic transformation, both in terms of appearance and career.
Tashie Jackson, who appeared on Series 12 of the reality show when it aired on Channel 5, is now known as Natasha Graziano and has become a globally recognized mindset coach and motivational speaker based in the United States.
Jackson, then 21, entered the Big Brother house in 2011, joining contestants including eventual winner Aaron Allard-Morgan and even sharing time with guest star Pamela Anderson. However, her time on the show was cut short after she received the most nominations from fellow housemates and was evicted by the public vote after just eight days.
Since then, Graziano has completely reinvented herself. With a following of over 10 million across her online platforms, she has built a career helping others transform their lives through mindset training and motivational speaking.
Her book, The Action Plan, became a bestseller, and Forbes named her the “number one female motivational speaker under 40.”
In a 2022 interview with The Sun, she opened up about her journey, revealing she once fell into severe debt and homelessness, living on the streets with her son.
“It was very hard to admit that I needed help,” she said. “When you are in that much debt, you have so much shame and guilt… I just went on the street and prayed.”
She credited her turnaround to embracing a positive mindset and the law of attraction: “Whether you believe it or not, the law of attraction is happening—like attracts like.”
Earlier this month, Metro revisited a list of forgotten Celebrity Big Brother stars as the latest series welcomed names like JoJo Siwa and Chris Hughes. Among those remembered were Take That’s Mark Owen, Celebrity Big Brother 6 finalist Verne Troyer, and former contestants Perez Hilton and Jodie Marsh.
