At the time Craig was a 20-year-old hairdresser in Norfolk, and described himself as "fit, fanciable and deceitful".<\/p>\n
Now the reality star is unrecognisable after getting inked and joining the Navy.<\/p>\n
Although he still looks just as cheeky as he did on the show, the gay icon now sports two full sleeves of ocean themed tattoos.<\/p>\n
He also has an unknown phrase written in a semi-circle under his collarbones.<\/p>\n
While on Big Brother in 2005 the young man wore his hair in a spiky updo that was popular at the time.<\/p>\n Now Craig has a buzzcut, and no longer likes to go clean shaven, sporting a slight moustache and stubble.<\/p>\n He joined the army for a stint in 2013, but has since returned to his first love: hairdressing.<\/p>\n While in the Big Brother House he developed a close friendship with the eventual winner Anthony Hutton.<\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n The pair had the same job and seemed to form a bromance during the show, but after Craig got evicted from the house Anthony claimed he was "obsessive".<\/p>\n<\/picture>SHELL SHOCK <\/span><\/p>\n
