He went on to have a successful modelling career, culminating in his selection by Channel 4 as Model of the Week on The Big Breakfast.
Career: Kay was soon snapped up to present various TV shows, including Fully Booked spin-off FBi.

Amir Khan (Contestant)
Born: December 08, 1986 in Bolton
Best Known For: Being a world champion boxer.
Early-life: Amir Iqbal Khan was born in Bolton on December 8, 1986. He was a hyperactive child and a born fighter according to his father, who encouraged him to take up boxing to stop him getting into scraps at school. He took to the sport immediately and credits it with setting him on the straight and narrow.
Career: After a string of impressive performances, Khan rose to fame as Britain's sole representative in boxing at the 2004 Athens Olympics, winning a silver medal at the age of 17 in the lightweight boxing category. He was Britain's youngest Olympic boxer since Colin Jones in 1976. He lost in the final to Mario Kindelan, the Cuban who had also beaten him several months earlier in the pre-Olympic match-ups in Greece. A year later he avenged the two losses by defeating a by-then 34-year-old Kindelan in his final amateur fight. He made his professional debut in 2005. He won the Commonwealth Lightweight title in 2007 and a year later, won the WBO Inter-Continental Lightweight title. He won the vacant WBA International Lightweight title in 2008. In 2014, he won the WBA International and vacant WBC Silver Welterweight titles.
Quote: 'I've got a good family to support me and I'll get a clip round the ear if I get too big-headed.'
