From model to reality TV star!
Austin Armacost made his reality television debut back in 2010 with the premiere of Logo TV’s The A-List: New York. That series, which followed the lives of gay and bisexual men in a similar way to The Real Housewives, only ran for two seasons. Nonetheless, it certainly had a large following of LGBTQ+ viewers and certainly paved the way for shows like The Real Friends of WeHo in 2023.
At the time, Armacost was cast on The A-List: New York as a model who had just been in a brief relationship with fashion designer Marc Jacobs. Unfortunately, the show didn’t pick up enough viewers over time to keep airing, but that was certainly not the end of Armacost’s career in television. In 2015, the model was cast on Celebrity Big Brother: UK vs USA – also known as season 16 of the British version of CBB. Armacost did so well that he went as far as the grand finale, finishing as the runner-up behind James Hill.
Armacost returned to the British Celebrity Big Brother house two years later for season 19, which was dubbed All-Stars vs. New Stars. This time, the model didn’t fare as well on the show as his original run. In fact, he was pretty quickly eliminated on day 11… with less than two weeks inside the house.
