MICHELLE'S not the only reality TV star who has turned her life around with a career change.
JADE GOODY: Perhaps the most famous of all Big Brother evictees, Jade showed her keen business sense by becoming a multi-media polymath. Fitness DVDs, books and even a "signature scent" have helped transform Jade from mingin' to minted.
BEN FOGLE: Far from pigeonholing his talents, the Castaway winner describes himself as "travel writer, presenter and adventurer". He rowed across the Atlantic in 49 days, raced across the Sahara and has presented such varied shows as Animal Park, Countryfile, Wild in Africa, Crufts, One Man & His Dog, and Cash In The Attic.
SAIRA KHAN: The Apprentice's pushiest contestant was never shy in coming forward and since leaving Sir Alan's control has become a writer, broadcaster, corporate speaker and, weirdly, personal trainer. She will soon present a BBC1 daytime show, Temper Your Temper.
KYM MARSH: Hear' Say's first casualty hasn't looked back since leaving the manufactured Popstars band. A regular in touring musical theatre shows, she wed Jack Ryder and is now a regular on Coronation Street.
BRIAN DOWLING: It's maybe not the biggest jump from the Big Brother house to annoyingly addictive quiz TV, but camp BB2 winner Brian has forged a career as a TV presenter. His CV includes SM:TV Live, a celebrity gossip merchant on Radio 1, Channel 4's The Salon and The Mint.
