Josie Gibson’s Big Brother ex unrecognisable as he DJs in new career after moving to Australia
JOSIE Gibson’s Big Brother ex John James Parton looks completely different from his stint on the reality show.
The Australian hunk, who found fame on the show in 2010, now looks worlds away from his bleached blonde mop-head appearance fans will remember him by.
Now 38, John's bleach-blonde surfer dude look has since transformed into a muscular, tattooed smouldering brunette.
The reality star, who tends to shy away from social media, now works as a DJ and regularly plays club nights across Australia.
Earlier this year, he made a rare appearance on Instagram to promote his forthcoming night on the tiles.
The star appeared alongside Playboy bunnies 'Madeline' and 'Ebony Grace' as he shared details of the Uphoria nightclub extravaganza in Melbourne.

John famously entered the Big Brother house for the 11th series of the reality show and struck up a relationship with Josie Gibson.
He was 24 when he met Bristolian Josie, then 25, and was an instant hit with viewers for his cheeky charm.
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."
