Early life

[edit]

Hayes was born Chanelle Jade Sinclair in 1987 in Wythenshawe, a suburb of Manchester, England.[1] Her mother, Andrea Sinclair, a 32-year-old prostitute, was murdered by client Keith Pollard on 5 April 1988, when Hayes was not quite five months old.[2] Hayes was then put up for adoption and was brought up in Wakefield, West Yorkshire by Christine and Harry Hayes.

Career

[edit]

In 2007, Hayes emerged into the public eye when she appeared on the eighth series of the UK's Big Brother. Following her appearance in Big Brother, she appeared many times in newspapers and magazines doing photo shoots and interviews. On 23 November 2007, it was revealed that Hayes was voted the Favourite Big Brother Housemate Ever by the forum members of Digital Spy. She was also voted the second Sexiest Female Housemate Ever, losing by a narrow margin to Imogen Thomas.[3]

In April 2008, Hayes was cast in a video by the creative advertising team of Lee & Dan Special Projects, who had been hired by MTV UK to produce a viral advertisement for the new MTV comedy Fur TV.[4][5][6][7]

In May 2008, BBC Radio 1 declined to add her debut single to the playlist, despite interviewing her on the Chris Moyles breakfast show.[8] In May 2008, she also topped a poll by Domino's Pizza, to find Britain's least talented celebrity.[9] In June, she stated her "fame may be over" as TV producers started putting her television ideas on hold.[10] In August the organisers of V festival reportedly declined her request to sing.[11]

In June 2008, Hayes started a column in glossy weekly magazine Star. She shared her views on Big Brother 9 for thirteen weeks until the show finished on 5 September 2008.[12]

In 2011, Hayes opened a cake making business in Wakefield.[13]

Her autobiography – Baring My Heart, co-written with Anna Pointer, and published by John Blake Publishing, was released on 3 July 2014.[14]

She started a relationship with fellow housemate Ziggy Lichman in the house, though they split up and got back together several times during the series.[15][16][17] Hayes was tested by Big Brother and had one of the highest IQs in the house, scoring 114.[18] On Day 61 (Sunday 29 July 2007) Hayes left[19] and re-entered the house after consulting a psychologist.[20] Hayes left the house at her own request on Day 62.[21] She re-entered the House for a few minutes on Day 89 as part of a task.[22]

Hayes was asked to become a member of the judging panel in a VH1 UK show, Wannabe, in which Hayes and a panel of judges had to put together a band of 25+ year old girls for a live concert.[23]

In May 2008, Hayes said that she wanted to make one of the biggest-selling calendars of 2009.[29] She revealed that she was aiming to beat glamour models Lucy Pinder, Gemma Atkinson and Keeley Hazell to the title, saying "All the girls are gorgeous and it’s brilliant to even be up there competing with girls who have been in the business a lot longer than me. But me, a relative nobody, came fourth this year (2008), which is pretty damn good! Now I want to do even better and maybe knock one out of the way!".

It was reported on 22 March 2009 that Hayes would promote the new MadWorld game for Nintendo Wii.[citation needed]
