In a new promo shot, John James looks world’s away from the 24-year-old blonde in the 2010 series of Big Brother UK.
Now, 37, John’s iconic bleached hair is long gone and he is sporting a brunette mop.
The DJ is wearing a pair of headphones around his neck in his picture and is posing alongside two Playboy bunnies.
His ‘Playboy Mansion Party’ is being held at Euphoria nightclub in Melbourne and the advert says all revellers get “free bunny ears on entry”.
John James famously entered the Big Brother house for the 11th series of the reality show and struck up a relationship with Josie Gibson.
The pair dated for nine months after the show and even moved in together, but their relationship then came to a bitter end.
During an episode of her Channel 5 reality show, There’s Something About Josie, Josie claimed he had cheated. John James denied this.
The pair lost contact but became embroiled in a spat in 2018 when he claimed she had been sending him saucy Snapchats.
Furious Josie was quick to quash his wild accusations and said she had done nothing of the sort.
Pregnant with her son Reggie at the time, the This Morning presenter told Daily Mail Australia: “I’ve got a baby on the way, what were those inappropriate pictures meant to be of? My big fat baby bump?
“It’s not right for him to be lying and making out we were sexting.”
She added: ‘”The most contact we’ve had is when John got in touch the other year and said to me, ‘I never loved you like I should have.’ What the hell’s that meant to mean?”
Shortly after their spat, John James confirmed he was heading into the Love Island Australia villa. The series aired in the UK two years later in 2020.
John spoke to new! magazine afterwards and said he ‘regretted’ how his and Josie’s relationship ended.
“It got heated and nasty towards the end,” he said. “So I regret that, but at the same time I don’t think you could sit us in the same room and have a civil conversation.”
He added: “There are too many things that have been said.”
