Caroline has divided opinions in the Big Brother house
Big Brother contestant Caroline Monk looks completely different in resurfaced photographs alongside well-known celebrities.
The Essex native has sparked controversy amongst viewers during her time in the Big Brother house, with her conduct frequently attracting criticism.
Most recently, during this week’s face-to-face nominations, Caroline faced accusations regarding her treatment of fellow housemate Richard.
Taking to social media, one viewer commented: “Sorry, but at this point, Caroline is relentlessly bullying Richard. There, I said it. It is so horrible of her to constantly slander him in the house, chat s*** about him behind his back, disrespect him to his face when he literally DOES NOTHING TO HER.”

The Canvey Island resident made an immediate impact upon entering the famous house, capturing attention with her vibrant character. Before going in, Caroline described what viewers could expect from her: “Quite a complex amount of things.
“One, I like to joke around, and I like to do practical jokes and stuff like that. Two, I’m very sensitive and caring. And I probably cry a lot. I don’t think I’ll be the mum of the house because I’m too naughty,” reports OK!.
Whilst the PR professional’s actions continue to draw criticism from the audience, old photographs have emerged showing a markedly different-looking Caroline.
Given her career in public relations, Caroline has naturally crossed paths with numerous celebrities over the years. Among them was television presenter Holly Willoughby, formerly of This Morning, with whom she posed for a photograph in the Drivers’ Lounge at Silverstone during the British Grand Prix back in July 2016.
Caroline displayed a strikingly different appearance in the Big Brother house, with her short blonde locks instead sporting a black bob with an eye-catching pink fringe.
However, she does wear the same necklace visible in the Big Brother house, bearing her nickname “Monkey” on it.
Caroline has also been photographed alongside another well-known personality, Matthew Wright, who presented the talk show The Wright Stuff from 2000 to 2018. The pair appeared to have shared a relationship for several years, from 2003, and were spotted at numerous public occasions together.

In a throwback photograph from 2005, Caroline can be seen with considerably longer hair than she wears now, a darker brown shade with a fringe, as she was photographed with Matthew Wright at The Ivy Restaurant in London.
In yet another apparent transformation to her hairstyle, Caroline wore bright pink hair in 2005, when she attended the Breast Cancer Care 2005 Fashion Show at the Grosvenor Hotel on Park Lane, and again in 2006 at the Blush Ball, which raised money for the construction of a third Breast Cancer Haven.
The Big Brother star has been open about her own breast cancer experience, as she previously acknowledged on the programme, “I should be dead”.
Speaking to Feyisola about her breasts, she revealed she had fought breast cancer. She said, “They’re not real because I had breast cancer. I should be dead. I should be dead, if I hadn’t have gone when I did.”
When asked what prompted her to get checked, Caroline replied: “I was playing with a necklace, I had a cross necklace on.”
After noticing something unusual, she visited her GP, who referred her to the hospital for further tests. She subsequently underwent a lumpectomy, a surgical procedure.
Big Brother continues tonight at 9pm on ITV2 and ITVX.
