Imogen Thomas

Imogen Mary Thomas is a bar hostess and former beauty queen from Llanelli, South Wales, although she was residing in London before her entry into the house. She has a degree in Psychology and a degree in Health Studies from the University of Worcester and was crowned Miss Wales in 2003.

Up to week 5, Imogen was not allowed to participate in nominations. In week 1 she was in the Big Brotherhood, and there were no nominations. In weeks 2 and 3, she was banned from nominating for discussing nominations. In week 4, only Susie was permitted to nominate, and in week 5, as punishment for yet again discussing nominations she was forced (along with 4 other rule breakers) to nominate one fellow rule breaker in front of the group.

On Day 84 Imogen moved with fellow nominee Richard into the House Next Door where she remained until she was evicted on Day 86 with 62% of the public vote. During this time she wasn't at all pleased about the bitching that fellow housemates Grace, Lea and Nikki were doing about Aisleyne.

A number of weeks after Imogen's entry into the house, a 7 minute home sex video appeared on the Internet showing her having sex with ex-boyfriend Leighton Brookfield. After Big Brother, Imogen discovered that this sex tape had been broadcast online, and she is now in talks with her lawyer.

Since leaving the Big Brother house Imogen has secured a guest appearance on the Welsh language soap opera Pobol y Cwm, Imogen has denied rumours of a relationship with fellow housemate Sezer but confirmed on Chris Blumer's Late Night Lock-In (96.4FM The Wave) she did have a relationship with Russell Brand.

She has appeared in numerous Welsh television and radio programmes since leaving the house. These programmes include Wedi 7 (a magazine style programme), 'Jonathan' (presented by the rugby star Jonathan Davies and others) and Uned 5 (a show aimed at teenagers). Imogen has also appeared in photo-shoots for Zoo magazine.

In November 2006, Imogen was voted the Sexiest Woman in Wales. She beat-off competition from other Welsh Beauties including Catherine Zeta Jones and Charlotte Church. Imogen appears on the cover of the January, 2007 edition of Maxim magazine. Imogen was nominated in weeks 5,8,10,11 and 12. She was in the Big Brother House longer than any other female housemate lasting 86 days. (Aisleyne who made the final had entered on day 12, so was only there 81 days). However, this record has since been broken, by Tracey Barnard who lasted 87 days and Amanda and Sam Marchant and Carole Vincent who lived in the Big Brother 8 house for 94 days.

Imogen is also on the 2008 list of Playboy Bunnies on the Playboy website
