Big Brother fans can't believe Grace and Mikey are STILL TOGETHER
They met on the show 14 years ago!
Big Brother 7, which aired way back in 2006 with host Davina McCall, was certainly one of the most entertaining series of the hit show! Despite being won by Pete Bennett, the show kick-started the careers of now-iconic housemates like Nikki Grahame, Glyn Wise, Aisleyne Horgan-Wallace and Imogen Thomas.
And after Welsh star Glyn showed off his incredible transformation earlier this week, fans are now shocked to learn that housemates Grace Adams-Short and Mikey Dalton are still MARRIED, after starting their fairy tale in the Big Brother house.
As documented on Tuesday night's episode of Big Brother: Best Shows Ever, Grace and Mikey are now married and have three children together, Spencer, Georgina and Allegra.
After receiving lovely messages of support after appearing on the special anniversary show, mum-of-three Grace took to her Instagram page to thank fans.
She wrote, 'I just want to say a huge thank you for all the lovely messages I’ve had about Mikey and I and our family 💓. 14 years ago at 20 years old I decided to go on Big Brother for a bit of fun for the summer I never thought i would of found my future husband !! Yes I was opinionated and had far too much to say 😬 (I don’t think this has really changed if you ask Mikey 🤪)
'3 kids later we are so close and happy and truly grateful for what we have. I hope the re runs of the show has given everyone some light relief and good old fashioned reality tv during lockdown📺 although I fully cringed last night watching the show and wish someone had introduced me to eyebrow tint and hair dye back then - something I’m well accustomed to now living In Liverpool 😂😂 just wanted to say thanks again xx @bbuk @mikeydaltonuk @e4grams' (sic)
After appearing on a number of TV shows when they left the series, both Grace and Mikey decided to leave the showbiz world. Grace now runs her own theatre school and Mikey runs an advertising business in Liverpool.
