Imogen Mary Thomas (born 27 November 1982) is a bar hostess and former beauty queen from Llanelli, South Wales, although she was residing in London before her entry into the house. She has a degree in Psychology and a degree in Health Studies from the University of Worcester and was crowned Miss Wales in 2003, beating future Big Brother 9 winner Rachel Rice who came third.

Up to week 5, Imogen was not allowed to participate in nominations. In week 1 she was in the Big Brotherhood, and there were no nominations. In weeks 2 and 3, she was banned from nominating for discussing nominations. In week 4, only Susie was permitted to nominate, and in week 5, as punishment for yet again discussing nominations she was forced (along with 4 other rule breakers) to nominate one fellow rule breaker in front of the group.

On Day 84 Imogen moved with fellow nominee Richard into the House Next Door where she remained until she was evicted on Day 86 with 62% of the public vote. During this time she wasn't at all pleased about the bitching that fellow housemates Grace, Lea and Nikki were doing about Aisleyne, despite formerly being close with Grace and Nikki. She also shared good relationships with Glyn, Mikey, Lisa, Sezer and Susie in the house, as well as Aisleyne who she became good friends with outside the house despite the pair initially seeming hostile to each other. Her relationships with Pete, Jayne and particularly Richard werent as good however, though she did seem to make up with Richard in their final week in the house when they were nominated together.

A number of weeks after Imogen's entry into the house, a 7 minute home sex video appeared on the Internet showing her having sex with ex-boyfriend Leighton Brookfield. After Big Brother, Imogen discovered that this sex tape had been broadcast online, and she is now in talks with her lawyer.

Since leaving the Big Brother house Imogen has secured a guest appearance on the Welsh language soap opera Pobol y Cwm, Imogen has denied rumours of a relationship with fellow housemate Sezer but confirmed on Chris Blumer's Late Night Lock-In (96.4FM The Wave) she did have a relationship with Russell Brand.

She has appeared in numerous Welsh television and radio programmes since leaving the house.[citation needed] These programmes include Wedi 7 (a magazine style programme), 'Jonathan' (presented by the rugby star Jonathan Davies and others), 'Snog, Marry, Avoid?' (presented by the Atomic Kitten star Jenny Frost) and Uned 5 (a show aimed at teenagers). Imogen has also appeared in photo-shoots for Zoo magazine.

In November 2006, Imogen was voted the Sexiest Woman in Wales. She beat-off competition from other Welsh Beauties including Catherine Zeta Jones and Charlotte Church. Imogen appears on the cover of the January, 2007 edition of Maxim magazine. Imogen was nominated in weeks 5,8,10,11 and 12. She was in the Big Brother House longer than any other female housemate lasting 86 days. (Aisleyne who made the final had entered on day 12, so was only there 81 days.) This record however was then broken by four housemates in series 8 of Big Brother.
