Celebrity Big Brother winner David Potts reveals he used to dress the same as ... trends now
Celebrity Big Brother winner David Potts reveals he used to dress the same as his twin brother, but admits they are now 'polar opposites'.
During his stint on the reality show, it was revealed that David has a secret twin with a very different life in professional football, who says people struggle to believe they're related.
Engaged father-of-one Matthew Potts, 30, told MailOnline he even has to 'provide evidence' David is his brother because of how different they are.
Now, David has given an insight into what it was like growing up with his twin. He told New magazine: 'Matthew and I grew up wearing the same clothes until we were six.
'I can't really imagine him now, walking around with his legs out and a hot pink blazer.'

Engaged father-of-one Matthew Potts, 30, told MailOnline he even has to 'provide evidence' David is his brother because of how different they are
'We're polar opposites. We're non-identical, so we don't even look alike. We don't sound like each other either. He and my older brother are very similar - he's more quiet, very chilled. I'm the different one, which I enjoy.
While David was scouted by ITV bosses to star in Ibiza Weekender, Matthew became a physio therapist at Championship side Huddersfield Town.
Despite wearing identical outfits until they were 10, Matthew says he's never used any fake tan and he sadly hasn't inherited the same long legs as David, who flaunted his pins wearing a pair of hot pants during the show's launch on Monday night.
Matthew has revealed his pride over watching David change Louis Walsh 's perception of his brother, saying people are often quick to judge but always end up loving his genuine personality.
He said: 'We have gone down two totally different paths.
'It's a thing for people when they find out who he is... I don't go around shouting about it but when people do find out they are quite shocked and I always have to provide evidence we're related because they don't believe me, which is quite funny.
'We got put in the same outfits and as twins you get put in the same bubble but the reality is – and as we have proven – we're just totally completely different people.
'He's loud when you first lay eyes on him and the celebrities in the house were quite taken aback by him at first but now, they are getting to know him, well within five minutes your perceptions of him change completely. It's a credit to him, he's great in that sense.'
The Ibiza Weekender star, 30, narrowly beat Nikita Kuzmin , 26, to the crown as he came in second, with Colson Smith coming in third, Louis Walsh fourth and Fern Britton in fifth place
