Glyn Wise, the former Big Brother star who captured the hearts of the nation with his endearing personality, seemingly disappeared after his 15-minutes of fame, leaving fans wondering what became of him.
Almost 17 years have passed since season six of the well-loved Big Brother series started and launched the careers of household names including the late Nikki Grahame, Pete Bennett and Glyn. Glyn, who was just 18 when he entered the house in 2006, quickly became a fan favourite thanks to his charming personality and innocence.
Despite being one of the youngest contestants, Glyn held his own against the more worldly housemates and ended up coming in second place. During his time in the house, he had many memorable moments, including learning how to cook an egg for the first time and accidentally dyeing his hair ginger. He even spoke Welsh to fellow housemate Imogen Thomas, which delighted viewers.

(ITV)Speaking to Alison Hammond and Dermot O'Leary in 2022, Glyn revealed that working as a teacher in China had a big impact on his faith. He said: "Christianity is growing on a massive scale in South East Asia, so I went to church there, and even other teachers were like do you want to come to Bible study class. I grew in faith as I went along with that."
"The pastor or priest was talking and I felt like everything he was saying was direly to me, and what was amazing was they were bringing the Bible into 2022, making relevance to every walk of life and that's what I'd like to bring forward."
