He first rose to prominence by moving into the famous house in 2014.
And Big Brother star Mark Byron looked worlds away from his time on the iconic reality show as he made an appearance on Wednesday’s Good Morning Britain.
The reality star, 34, who has since rebranded as a food and lifestyle content creator, was involved in a fiery debate with cleaning Aggie MacKenzie about whether there should be fines for those caught urinating in the woods.
Mark was a contestant on the 15th series of Big Brother, while it was broadcast on Channel 5, and was evicted from the house after 65 days.
In an interview in 2022, he claimed that bosses would edit scenes from his time in the house in a bid to generate ‘fake’ romances for viewers.

He told The Sun: ‘I remember they really edited it to look like Helen and Ash [Harrison] were having a romantic thing and that just wasn’t the case.
‘Even me and this Irish guy Chris [Hall]; we had a couple of kisses when we were drunk, it was never anything that deep, and then I watched it back and it played out like it was this enormous gay romance.
‘I was like, ‘What the hell?’ We probably kissed twice in 10 weeks.’
Mark and Aggie’s GMB debate was branded ‘pathetic’ by viewers, after it saw the pair discuss urinating in the wood after an English council began fining those caught short £88.
Aggie admitted: ‘I did it the other day, I was in the Atlas mountains, pulled my knickers down and had a squat’.
Host Richard Madeley was then once again compared to Steve Coogan’s cringey character Alan Partridge after asking: ‘Are you worried somebody might catch a glimpse of a man’s willy?’.
Taking to X, formerly known as Twitter, one viewer wrote: ‘Some of these discussions on here are a pathetic, joke of a show.’
While another said: ‘Serious stuff again on #gmb, [Guest Peter] Andre, peeing in woods etc, isn’t there anything serious going on?’.

Fan took to X, formerly Twitter, in their droves
And: ‘Is someone EXTRACTING THE URINE?’.
A fourth typed: ‘How utterly ridiculous’.
Another was left fuming by one guests alternative suggestion: ‘He thinks a woman can pee in a bottle? Someone needs to give him an anatomy less’.
Earlier this month Richard joked that Laura Tobin had ‘put on weight’ as she returned after a Christmas as he was yet again compared to Partridge.
As the presenters welcomed Laura back to the studio, the weather woman explained how she had been absent for a while.
‘And you’ve put on a lot of weight with the lack of exercise haven’t you?’ Richard joked.
Susanna Reid interjected: ‘You wouldn’t be the only one Laura because I ate for Britain.’
His co-host then claimed Richard’s New Year’s resolution should be to ‘try and not offend Laura.’
Laura explained she’s eaten a few mince pies and added: ‘I’m just going to take a long waddle across the studio later, Richard.’
‘We’re not getting on this morning, are we?’ he hit back.
Fans at home shared their thoughts on Twitter / X with one person commenting: ‘Madeley / Partridge trying his best to upset Laura today.’
‘Richard Madeley makes Alan Partridge look like a real salt of the earth kinda guy,’ another added.
A third posted: ‘Day 2 of 2024 and I see Richard Madeley has learnt nothing from 2023.’
When quizzed by MailOnline about the comparisons in 2021, Richard hit back, saying ‘it is unfair’ while also insisting that he isn’t ‘remotely important’ due to his ‘pointless’ career in entertainment TV.
Addressing the Alan Partridge comparisons made about him. Richard insisted: ‘I honestly don’t care at all – it’s actually quite funny. It’s part and parcel of the job I do.
‘It’s so important that you don’t take yourself seriously, because you’re not gonna have a good time if you do.
‘Judy and I started out on This Morning which isn’t really hard news. I don’t go to warzones, I do popular television, which on the whole is pretty pointless, it’s just entertainment. It doesn’t mean you’re remotely important or interesting.
‘If people wanna take what I say – a quip or a comment – and compare me to Alan Partridge – good luck to them. I think some quotes are often taken so ludicracy out of context that it’s a bit unfair.’
RICHARD MADELEY’S MOST CRINGE-WORTHY MOMENTS…
Music maestro…
Richard Madeley tried to outplay Def Leppard’s Joe Elliott on the guitar in hilarious scenes in 2018
Richard Madeley tried to outplay Def Leppard’s Joe Elliott on the guitar in hilarious scenes in 2018.
During Joe’s appearance, Richard took the guitar and strummed a few notes, as he asked ‘how does it go from this’ before handing the guitar over to the Lovebites hitmaker.
Joe then proceeded to show off his prestigious talents, with Richard looking crest-fallen while his co-host Susanna Reid said ‘that doesn’t go well with my tinnitus’.
Turning the air blue…
Richard appeared to forget the golden rule of hosting daytime television as he swore not just once, but twice, whilst hosting Good Morning Britain in 2019
Richard appeared to forget the golden rule of hosting daytime television as he swore not just once, but twice, whilst hosting Good Morning Britain in 2019.
The veteran broadcaster, 62, left viewers in hysterics and had them comparing him to Alan Partidge as he made a series of blunders whilst stepping in for regular host Piers Morgan before his departure from the show.
Richard first turned the air blue at 7.30am when he told London Mayer Sadiq Khan that there was ‘no point d***ing about’, during a discussion about air pollution.
An hour later, the former This Morning host struck again, as he said ‘s**t’ during an interview with The Voice judge Olly Murs and winning contestant Molly Hocking.
Asking Molly about her victory, Richard mused: ‘How does it feel when you think ‘oh s**t’, I’ve won it!’
Richard apologised at the end of the chat: ‘Apparently I may have said the word starting with s beginning with t then, I didn’t think I had, but if I did, I do apologise.’
‘Why are you crying?’
Richard once scolded a guest for crying when he met the paramedics who saved his life. He told them: ‘Stop crying. This is supposed to make you happy
Richard once scolded a guest for crying when he met the paramedics who saved his life. He told them: ‘Stop crying. This is supposed to make you happy.’
Moving on to the next item, he then said: ‘Anyway, after the break, the biggest dog in the UK. And he really is big. Don’t miss it!’
On a teacher remortgaging her home to save her dog’s life, he asked viewers: ‘What price do you put on your pet’s care? Is there a point where you just say, ‘Too expensive, the dog has to die?”
And while interviewing some Primordial Dwarves, he said: ‘Do you find that people patronise you? That means they talk down to you.’
While chatting to some squatters, he once said: ‘What’s your supermarket skip of choice then? I myself like Waitrose.’
Celebrity chats…
once told Bill Clinton: ‘I know what it’s like to be wronged by the press. I was once accused of shoplifting. Unlike you though, I knew I was innocent.’
While interviewing actress Keira Knightly, he jokingly demanded from show producers: ‘Can we get some make-up please? Get Keira looking like a crack w**re… she’d make a good crack w**re!’
He once told Faye Tozer from Steps and fellow singer Russell Watson: ‘I always thought both of your music was a bit c**p but this is quite good.’
Introducing former footballer Paul Gascoigne, who has battled well-documented alcohol issues, Richard said in a very awkward moment: ‘He suffers for us. He bears our pain in the most public way possible.
‘He serves a timeless human need, one that goes back long before the time of Christ. Perhaps this has always been Paul Gascoigne’s destiny.’
To entertainer and mentalist Derren Brown, he once said: ‘Can we have petroleum and a rope? We are burning you at the end of the show.’
No filter…
Richard was previously known for hosting This Morning alongside his wife Judy and has not been shy when it comes to speaking out on moments from their private life (pictured in 1988)
Richard was previously known for hosting This Morning alongside his wife Judy, who he married in 1986 and with who he shares two children Jack and Chloe.
And the broadcaster has not been shy when it comes to speaking out on moments from their private life.
He once told ITV viewers: ‘When me and Judy were trying to conceive, I used to douse my balls in icy water before intercourse.’
Another time, he said: ‘Then Judy got pregnant again, it was an accident. Sorry Chloe, but you were. And you know it.’
And after Judy once revealed her past dreams of becoming a doctor, he quipped: ‘No, you would have ended up killing everybody.’
He also once asked an actor who was playing a bisexual person: ‘Would you prefer to have sex with me or Judy?’

Richard left viewers in stitches as he made his debut on The Circle in 2019, tripping over live on air
Richard left viewers in stitches as he made his debut on The Circle in 2019.
The TV presenter lived up to his comparisons as the ‘real life Alan Partridge’ when he entered his flat with a guitar in hand, before gushing over a typewriter and tripping live on air.
Before entering the flat, Richard said: ‘I’m an agent of mischief. I’m here to stir things up.’
Richard admired his flat, where he was presented with a keyboard, miniature snooker table and typewriter so he can write his new novel.
As he walked around the sofa talking to himself, he tripped causing host Emma Willis to stifle a laugh as the camera panned back to her in the studio.
