She rose to fame on Big Brother Australia in 2006, before posing for several men’s magazines including Ralph, FHM and Zoo Weekly.
But Krystal Forscutt shed her racy image and completely transformed her life when she met her husband, Neil Hipwell, nine years ago.
Now 33 years old and with two children, Krystal revealed on Thursday how a chance encounter with a handsome stranger changed everything.
‘God orchestrated it all’: How Big Brother star and lads’ mag favourite Krystal Forscutt shed her raunchy past and became a Christian after meeting her husband, Neil Hipwell, nine years ago
Krystal’s husband, who is a property developer, was the person who helped her embrace Christianity.
In a lengthy Instagram post, the fitness trainer and blogger reflected on their romance and said that God had ‘orchestrated it all’.
Krystal, who is pregnant with the couple’s third child, said she had been told by a clairvoyant days before meeting Neil at a fashion event in Sydney that she would encounter a ‘tall, dark and handsome man’.
‘She mentioned he would have green eyes and would show me “an abundant life”. At the time I thought this meant I would meet some loaded guy. I was wrong!’ she said.

She continued: ‘Neil actually asked me just the other night what my first thoughts were when I saw him, and I jokingly said that when I saw him I knew I needed to breed with him!’
He may be extremely successful today, but at the time Neil was living in the basement of his family’s home.
Despite this, Krystal was drawn to him and when he took her to church on their second date, her life changed.

It was only the second time she’d been to church, Krystal said, but she left ‘feeling full’ and determined to study the Bible.
‘I left with a book in my hand – it was The New Testament and sure enough the cover read “An Abundant Life”,’ she said.
‘So I had met my future husband and he had introduced me to my creator and from then my life would begin to change in a very big way!’
She concluded: ‘When I look back on that night we met, I realise that God was the orchestrator of it all and my life has been nothing short of abundant ever since!’

By the time Neil encouraged her to convert to Christianity, Krystal had grown ‘tired’ of her glamour model lifestyle.
‘I got to a point where I was completely over it,’ she once told New Idea magazine.
‘I took so many opportunities purely because they were there. They fell at my feet and I took them – I never really thought some of them through properly.’
Rise to fame: Krystal recently said on The Morning Show that the woman who starred in Big Brother (pictured) and posed for the likes of FHM and Ralph ‘feels like another person’
She recently said on The Morning Show that the woman who posed for the likes of FHM and Ralph ‘feels like another person’.
She said: ‘I was obviously so young [when I was on Big Brother] – I was 19 at the time. And I look back and almost feel detached from it, like it didn’t really happen because so much has changed.’
These days, Krystal and Neil live in Sydney’s Cronulla with their two children, Sunny, five, and Nakoda, one.
