The 32-year-old, who appeared on the Channel 5 edition of Big Brother in 2015, has now chosen to take her life in a completely new direction with a career change.
Harry Amelia, who made headlines during her time on Big Brother nearly ten years ago, became one of the show’s most talked-about housemates—partly due to her romance with fellow contestant Nick Henderson and her frequent topless appearances in the house.
She later had a child with Nick, but has since left her reality TV days behind and taken on a completely new career path.
Harry Amelia has officially swapped reality TV for life on the road as a truck driver.
She revealed her surprising career move in an Instagram video, giving followers a glimpse of her in action behind the wheel.
Alongside the clip, she wrote: “By popular request… enjoy this little reel of me taking the Pink Palace for a jolly down to the biscuit factory on a Friday afternoon. I sped it up otherwise, we’d be here all day!”
Harry clarified in her post that she didn’t film while driving on public roads, stating: “And before anyone gets sassy, no—I did not film and drive on any public roads. The only footage of my truck moving was recorded hands-free in the yard before heading out the gate.”
Health Battle
This update comes just a few months after Harry shared that she had been facing a personal health struggle.
In May, Harry opened up about a serious health scare that brought her life to a standstill. During a routine echocardiogram—part of monitoring her health due to a subtype of Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS) that can affect the heart—doctors discovered a potentially life-threatening condition.
In a heartfelt Instagram post, she described the condition as a “silent killer” and noted it’s one of the leading causes of sudden cardiac death.
She also shared a video documenting different stages of her treatment, giving fans a candid look into her journey and the challenges she’s been facing.
Harry also used to be a model.
The star has recently undergone a series of medical procedures.
When symptoms appear, they often look like POTS (Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome), which, unlike this genetic condition, is relatively harmless just really tiring but not life-threatening.
Harry explained how suddenly her life came to a standstill, feeling trapped in a repetitive, hellish routine where every day felt the same.
She said she couldn’t relax or enjoy anything and became very anxious because she couldn’t tell which symptoms were from POTS and which were linked to this “silent killer” condition.
This illness is responsible for 5–10% of sudden deaths in people under 65, with the average age being just 30.
“Understandably, I’ve lost my temper, Harry style, many times, probably driving those close to me to despair.
There have been panic attacks, frustrated outbursts, tears, lots of time spent stuck in bed, and I’ve thrown more pity parties in the past few months than ever before.
And as you all know, my life has always been quite a wild ride.”
