This week's guest won Big Brother 18 years ago when the show was at its peak. Anthony Hutton allowed himself to get carried away with all things 'celebrity,' getting paid thousands of pounds for exclusive interviews, being a household name and seeing his face on the front page of every magazine and newspaper.

However, he quickly realised that as high as the fame was, the fall was just as severe. Left without work and a decreasing bank balance, he found himself embarrassed and ashamed to return to everyday life. So much so that he had suicidal thoughts.

Thankfully, he started his own hairdressing business, met his wife as a client and is now a men's mental health advocate, as well as a dad.
