On Tuesday night's launch of Big Brother she was greeted with wolf whistles and cheers as she arrived at the house

And fans of the show will no doubt be interested to see some of Sara McLean early modelling snaps as a blonde bombshell.

In the series of pictures the Scottish student is seen showing off her trim shape in a number of revealing outfits.

Having a model moment: Big Brother contestant Sara McLean used to be a blonde and has considerable experience working as a model

Sara,22, is seen posing in a bright red swimsuit in just a pair of towering boots and a cropped denim jacket.

She has long blonde hair tumbling around her shoulders as she strikes a series of poses.

In another snap from the same shoot the beauty is seen in a sheer costume with a cropped waistcoat over the top.

It's clear that Sara isn't afraid to show off her curves and is also seen taking part in a lingerie catwalk show.

With peroxide blonde hair styled into ringlets the former Miss Edinburgh confidently poses in a satin basque and just a pair of knickers.

The marketing student came runner up in last year's Miss Scotland but viewers saw her say she thinks she should have come first.

And there is little doubt that the single model will find plenty of men will be vying for her attention when she leaves the Big Brother house.

Sara, who is now a brunette, is also a supporter of the Conservative party and a staunch Margaret Thatcher fan.

Cheering her on from home is her mother Shona,42, who works for BMI and her 20-year-old brother Paul, a painter and decorator.

Sadly Sara's father Colin passed away late last year suffering from lung cancer.

Speaking after the Miss Scotland competition Sara had said: 'I think I’ve made my dad really proud.

'He knows now that I will be okay in life. This has been one of the best experiences for me at this time. I realise now how far I’ve come. It’s been a real boost to my confidence.'
