Biography

Imogen Mary Thomas is a Welsh model, television host, and beauty pageant titleholder. She won the Miss Wales 2003 and represented her country at Miss World 2003. She also appeared on the seventh series of Channel 4 reality television programme Big Brother in 2006. In 2011, her alleged extramarital relationship with footballer Ryan Giggs was the subject of a gagging order in England and Wales. Imogen Mary Thomas was born in Llanelli, Wales. She started working as a model at age 13, and at the age of 17 moved to London to become a professional model. Working in bars to pay for her living costs, she was rejected by many modelling agencies due to her height (5ft 6"). She was crowned Miss Wales in 2003, beating future Big Brother 9 winner Rachel Rice, who came third. She went on to represent Wales at Miss World in China. This prompted her to return to London to try glamour modelling, and also working as a bar hostess at London's Sanderson Hotel. She has two children with her boyfriend Adam Horsley. The first daughter, Ariana Siena Horsley, was born in February 2013. A second was born in 2015.
