Despite losing out to eventual winner, Happy Mondays singer Bez, Kenzie has definitely gone on to bigger things – especially muscles.
Now 34, the former boy band star has beefed up considerably and works as both a fitness model and a personal trainer.
Kenzie, a dad-of-two, is also a professional DJ and performs in top clubs across Europe.
Alongside an impressive torso shot captured in Dubai earlier this year, Kenzie showed off his ripped body on Instagram.
Writing alongside the snap, he said: “Delightful little January Detox! In my favourite place #dubai It’s good to be back.”
Commenting, one follower replied: “Mega shape 🔥.”
Another added: “Wow So Muscly Nice Photo x.”
Kenzie also showed off his ripped body while standing next to a pool in Portugal following a DJ performance.
One fan gushed: “Wow such amazing abs [&] body 💪��😍❤️.”
Kenzie found fame in 2001, when he was just 15, in the 10-piece group Blazin’ Squad.
When the band split in 2005, Kenzie and fellow band mates MC Flava and MC Strider went on to form the group Friday Hill.
It was at the beginning of this year that the teen entered the Celebrity Big Brother house alongside stars including US model Caprice, racing pundit John McCrirck and ex Hollyoaks star Jeremy Edwards.
On Thursday night, Kenzie and his housemates were shown on E4’s 20th anniversary show Big Brother: Best Shows Ever.
With commentary fro Davina McCall and Dermot O’Leary, the episode focused on Jackie Stallone’s surprise arrival in the house. As the mum of Hollywood star Sylvester, Jackie’s arrival left his ex-wife Brigitte Nielsen aghast.
One fan tweeted: “Celebrity Big Brother was just TV Gold. I mean we are watching Kenzie from Blazin Squad having a casual chat with Jackie Stallone.#BBUK.”
