Big Brother 2005 was a magnificent year.
It was a time before the pioneering reality show jumped the shark and the nation watched on in glee for the Big Brother season 5, where we were introduced to endless memorable contestants including the outrageous Simon Deering AKA Hotdogs.
Now, 13 years later, Channel Seven’s House Rules viewers were shocked and delighted to see Hotdogs emerge from the ashes as a Perth property valuing phoenix, donning a tailored suit and the title of property expert.
The Daily Mail reports Simon/Hotdogs has been in the real estate business since 2011, and is listed as having been a Purplebricks territory owner since May 2017.
His website bio on the real estate’s site also lists him as both a loving father and devoted husband.
We can’t help but admire the man for shaking off the dust of Big Brother, three charges of public nuisance in 2005, posing nude for Cleo, his two-year-long stint as a host of The Up-Late Game Show AND a failed comedy pilot to become a respected professional.
Remember, if Hotdogs can make it through 2005-2007, you can make it through anything.
