*Big Brother*’s Zoe: My first bikini at 24!

Big Brother's Zoe: My first bikini at 24!

The former BB housemate has the last laugh at internet trolls with her hot new bod.

At 24 years old, 2012 Big Brother star Zoe Westgarth is slipping into her first-ever bikini – and the loveable country girl is incredibly nervous. “I used to live for winter because I could cover myself up,” she admits.

“Now, come the weekend, I’ll sit out in the sun in shorts and a singlet. That’s a first for me, too – I’d never worn a singlet in public before.”

But now Zoe’s a changed woman. Despite her understandable nerves, she wants to show off the body she’s achieved through hard work and following considerable heartache. Despite battling with weight issues her entire life, Zoe says she hit crisis point during an episode of Big Brother.

“It was Ryan’s birthday and Big Brother supplied dresses with our names on them and mine didn’t fit. It was depressing watching the others in their dresses.” Spurred on to get active by her housemates, Zoe shed 10kg from her 185cm frame while on the show.
