The Big Brother star turned celebrity DIY expert and TV presenter will be discussing what has happened over the day on Big Brother and what surprises Big Brother has in store for the contestants in the days to come!
In the summer of 2000, Craig beat 45,000 applicants to appear alongside nine other contestants on Britain's first reality TV show, Big Brother. Watched by over 10 million people, Big Brother was a huge success, riveting the public and media alike. After more than nine weeks in the Big Brother house, Craig won the nation's hearts with his cheeky humour and came out triumphant with 3.7 million votes, £70,000 prize money and a National Television Award for Best Live Television Moment of the Year. Craig famously donated his entire winnings to childhood friend and Down's syndrome sufferer Joanne Harris.
Since leaving Big Brother, Craig has forged a fantastic career in the media as one of the UK's leading DIY and home improvement experts. Craig has presented and produced over 850 DIY and home improvement shows, reaching millions of viewers across the world!
