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

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
