She may have suffered the humiliation of being the first voted out of Big Brother this series, but Stephanie McMichael is making the most of her premature freedom. The 19-year-old was spotted frolicking around a luxury resort yesterday after escaping to Spain for a sun holiday.
Sun seeker: Stephanie McMichael in Spain yesterday
It was strictly a girls' only holiday, with no sign of her rumoured love interest Ziggy Lichman. Stephanie and the 26-year-old former boyband member, who appeared on the reality TV show in 2007, were spotted cosying up in a West London coffee shop last week. They have at least one thing in common - an insatiable thirst for stardom.
Out and about: The 19-year-old was the first voted off the show Prior to Big Brother, Ziggy made his first bid for fame as the member of an ill-fated boyband, while Stephanie had previously auditioned for Pop Stars: The Rivals. She was thrown off the show when producers discovered she had lied about her age and was too young to take part. Stephanie was put up for nomination in week one of this series after she was forced to take part in a fake wedding with 42-year-old housemate Mario Marconi. The sham fell through when Stephanie and Mario were unable to hide their obvious dislike for each other.
