Chad Hurst doesn’t look like this anymore! Big Brother star debuts his dramatic lockdown look

He became $230,000 dollars richer overnight after winning Big Brother last year.

But in the 12 months since his major windfall, model Chad Hurst has traded in his clean-shaven appearance for a rugged lockdown look.

The personal trainer, 28, made fans do a double take on Wednesday when he debuted his long hair and scruffy beard in a selfie on Instagram. 

While he was once known for being impeccably well-groomed, Chad now sports shoulder-length locks and fuzzy facial hair. 

‘Day 100 lockdown…’ he captioned the snap, which showed him with a glass of wine.

Chad was crowned the winner of last year’s season of Big Brother, taking home the $234,656 cash prize. 

He said last month that despite his six-figure victory, he’s still working seven days a week as a model and personal trainer.  

‘I’m doing everything, it’s killing me and I can’t wait to have a day off to be honest,’ he told The Daily Telegraph. 

‘But it’s not really work because I have such a passion for PT and modelling.’ 

Chad, who is signed to the IMG agency, told Daily Mail Australia in June: ‘Life in the fashion world for me has always been a great ride.

‘The opportunities and adventures it has given me, I’ll always be grateful.’ 

Chad infamously blurted out the F-word on live TV after being crowned the winner of Channel Seven’s Big Brother last year. 

He later revealed it was a bittersweet moment as his late father was a huge fan of the show and would’ve loved to have seen him win. 

Chad had previously told Daily Mail Australia he’d applied for Big Brother to honour his dad.

‘I was on the show for dad, and I know I’ve made him proud now, but it would be good to take home the money to pay ma’s bills. She bloody deserves it,’ he said.
