Early life
Imogen Mary Thomas was born in Llanelli, Wales. She started working as a model at age 13, and at the age of 17 moved to London to become a professional model. Working in bars to pay for her living costs, she was rejected by many modelling agencies due to her height (5ft 6").
She was crowned Miss Wales in 2003, beating future Big Brother 9 winner Rachel Rice, who came third. She went on to represent Wales at Miss World in China. This prompted her to return to London to try glamour modelling, and also working as a bar hostess at LondoAdam Horsleyn's Sanderson Hotel. She has two children with her boyfriend Adam Horsley. The first daughter, Ariana Siena Horsley, was born in February 2013.[2] A second was born in 2015.
Big Brother and modelling
In 2006, Thomas was selected as a housemate for the seventh series of Big Brother. She was evicted on Day 86 with 62% of the public vote. Since her time on Big Brother, Thomas has become a glamour model.
Television work
Like other contestants, Thomas has taken part in many Big Brother spin-off programmes, including Big Brother's Little Brother and Big Brother's Big Mouth. She also co-presented with other housemates for T4.
Other work
Imogen appeared on the S4C Planed Plant ghost hunting show Ofn, filmed at Chirk Castle alongside fellow Big Brother contestant Glyn Wise.[3] She also portrayed herself in a cameo performance on the S4C soap opera Pobol y Cwm.
