Daily Deals

Sam Heuston was born on the 9th of February 1982. She entered the sixth UK series of Big Brother as a 23 year old marketing student and was evicted after three eventful weeks to contrasting outpourings of hostility and adoration.

The extent of some reactions to Sam’s time ‘in the house’ baffled commentators, viewers and presenters alike.

Sam Heuston was a marketing student from Cheam, Surrey and was 23 when she entered Big Brother. She missed her final exam of her Oxford Brookes degree to enter the Big Brother House, but she passed with a 2:2.

Sam Heuston’s favourites are:
Ideal Housemates include Colin Farrell, Robbie Williams, Paris Hilton
Film: Dirty Dancing
TV Show: U Are What U Eat
Book: Sleepers
Food: Mashed Potato

Sam mentioned before entering the house that she believed she would be targetted for being attractive by jealous girls, and she was proved right when Lesley Saunderson began attacking her verbally at every opportunity.
Sam proved resilient and restrained, ensuring she showed her upset only in the privacy of the diary room. She patiently tried to calm relations with Lesley whilst standing firm when matters escalated. Her determined positivity was seen as inspiring by a section of the viewership who would form the early basis of her growing fanbase. Moral Victory was secured when Lesley was evicted in Week 2.

In week 3, Sam showed her real fun personality in Big Brother, singing and dancing and enthusiastically throwing herself into the pirate task, looking particularly fetching on lookout in full pirate regalia! On the night of the speed dating task, Sam really shone doing a cheeky lapdance for Ant, interviewing Science and kissing Makosi in BB’s first girl girl kiss, which has since been a recurrent discussion point on assorted TV shows (including BBC’s Question Time!)

Since leaving BB, Sam has modelled numerous times for Nuts magazine, appeared memorably in a sexy padded cell shoot in Maxim and is now moving into TV presenting, making her easily one of the highest profile evictees from the UK show this year.

But what if Sam had come to celebrity in another time and place but
still retained the unique qualities that drew in her fans like moths to a flame?
