Helen first rose to prominence when she was a housemate in the second series of Big Brother in 2001.

She cemented her celebrity status due to the relationship with fellow co-star Paul Clarke in the house.

Millions of fans tuned into the show to keep track of their developing romance.

Viewers may remember her spontaneous personality and quick nature where she had a tendency to blurt out the first thought to come into her mind.

Her catchphrases such as, "I like blinking, I do," gained her a cult following with the British public and iconic housemate status.

Although she was an early favourite for eviction for the bookies, she ended up reaching the final.

With over 2.5million votes, she was the year's runner up, only loosing out to Brian Dowling who received over 4 million votes.
