Derek Frazier has come a long way in his weight loss journey.
Big Brother fans met him during the 2021 season when he was on the BB23 cast.
The son of boxing legend Joe Frazier, Derek joined the cast as a safety officer from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
Derek finished as the BB23 runner-up, with Xavier Prather becoming the latest Big Brother winner.
Derek and Xavier were also part of one of the most successful Big Brother alliances, as all six members of The Cookout made it to the end.
Now Derek is proud to reveal that he has lost 71 pounds in 10 months of hard work.
