Big Brother star unrecognisable 14 years after quitting show, being a GLADIATOR and moving to LA
A BIG Brother star is completely unrecognisable 14 years after walking from the show on day 48.
Jemima Wylde was called Jemma Palmer when she shot to fame.
The stunning star, who now looks very different from when she appeared on TV, is famous for being a Gladiator and appearing on the civiliaion version of Big Brother.
In 2011, Jem appeared in season 12 of the hit reality series which was hosted by Brian Dowling at the time.
When Jem appeared on the show, she starred alongside the likes of Jay McKray, Harry Blake and winner Aaron Allard-Morgan.
She also starred alongside her sister Faye Palmer, who also wrestled professionally at the time.
Jem walked on day 48, while her sister made it to day 57 and was evicted.
She chose to walk after being put up for eviction.
But Big Brother wasn’t Jem’s first brush with fame.
The model and former professional wrestler is perhaps best known by the name Inferno.
Jem used the name Inferno in the 2008 British television series Gladiators.
The stunning star now looks worlds away from how she did on Big Brother, and Gladiators.
In snaps shared online, Jem looks very different from her bleach blonde hair days.
The stunning star now sports a darker hue of blonde hair, and isn’t as muscular as she once was.
Jem has seemingly upped sticks and moved to the States after being born and raised in Tamworth.
The majority of Jem’s snaps on Instagram are location tagged to Los Angeles and California, as well as Lake Tahoe and New York.

She recently opened up about becoming a Gladiator and how she “stepped outside of her comfort zone”.
In a post shared on her Instagram page in 2021, Jem shared a snap of herself as Inferno on the hit show.
Alongside the snap she penned: “To become a gladiator I stepped outside my comfort zone.
“I wasn’t naturally athletic or naturally confident, to be honest as a kid I was bullied for being quiet, geeky, socially awkward & always picked last for sports.
“But being a Gladiator had always been a dream of mine, so I put myself in uncomfortable situations, like my first wrestling session, going to auditions, photo shoots & training hard to become the person that I wanted to be until I was her.”
She then urged her fans and followers: “Get outside of your comfort zone & don’t shy away from a challenge as it brings experience, life lessons & even a failure counts towards you levelling up so go for it.
“On the other side of that challenge is growth & who you want to become.”
And in 2020, Jem spoke about LA when she said: “Actually I think I do need LA. With all the travelling I’ve been doing this winter I’ve been doing some soul searching.”
She added: “If you want to flourish then spend time in the places that feed your soul. Different flowers need different conditions to thrive, were like a bunch of different flowers with differing needs.”
