Ziggy to be the new face of Lynx? - June 22 2007
Big Brother housemate Ziggy is reportedly being lined up to be the new face of Lynx when he leaves the Channel 4 show.
The 26-year-old model’s family revealed he was in talks before he appeared on the show - and on his exit will bag the deal, according to The Sun.
A friend said: "He knew his stint in BB could make or break his career. But he was determined to make some money from it and had arranged some deals before he went in.
"Lynx is going to be the ideal job for him. They wanted to use him anyway but Big Brother gives it more leverage.
His pal added: "His agent is very clever and knows how to make the most out of BB."
Ziggy, who has been cosying up to fellow contestant Chanelle, has already modelled in a number of campaign, including deals with French Connection.
BB’s Ziggy ’caused Abi break-up’ - June 12 2007
Abi Titmuss has revealed that a rumoured fling with Big Brother’s Ziggy was behind her split from long-term boyfriend John Leslie.
Abi, 31, who dated former TV presenter John for five years, said the relationship broke down in 2004 after stories claimed she had cheated on him with playboy Ziggy, aka Zac.
She told Closer: "A story appeared in the papers while I was dating John that I’d snogged Zac in a cupboard in a nightclub - but it was rubbish. I took his number and that was it. But John dumped me. It finished our relationship - and it was all lies. I swear I didn’t sleep with Zac."
Ziggy, a former boyband member, has apparently had a string of celebrity flings, including briefly dating ex-Atomic Kitten Kerry Katona.
The 26-year-old model is currently getting close to Wakefield student Chanelle on Big Brother and has told her he wants to see her when they leave the house.
Zak has secret celeb flings? - June 5 2007
Big Brother housemate Zak ’Ziggy’ Lichman has apparently had a history of celeb flings - but the one he likes to keep secret was with Kerry Katona.
The former model, 26, met the curvy star during a Smash Hits tour when he was a member of boyband Northern Line and Kerry was with Atomic Kitten. Three years later, after Kerry’s split from Brian McFadden, the pair started dating.
A pal told Reveal magazine: "Kerry went through a really tough time when she broke up with Brian McFadden and she just wanted to let her hair down and have some fun.
"Zak loves partying and is a big character on the club scene, so they had a real laugh together. It didn’t last long because Kerry was definitely still on the rebound. She wanted to keep their relationship secret in case she got back together with Brian."
Kerry also dated Zak’s former bandmate Dan Corsi but that relationship ended when she found out Dan had cheated on her.
The friend continued: "Both Zak and Dan have always been a hit with the ladies - especially since they are both former male models and attracted a huge fanbase while they were in the boyband."
Other celeb ladies Zak has been linked to include Abi Titmuss, Suzanne Shaw, Sarah Bosnich and Sammy Winward.
