Big Brother winner Craig Phillips joined 7,410 people to take part in the annual 5km charity Santa Dash through Liverpool city centre on Sunday 4th December 2011.

The 2010 event won the World Santa Challenge title beating a similar event in Las Vegas by about 2,000 entries. But despite the best ever turnout in Liverpool over the last eight years, the World Santa Challenge for 2011 has gone to Las Vegas who pulled together a huge crowd of 8,123 people.

Craig Phillips said: "This is the eighth year we've done it and each year it's got bigger and bigger.

It just shows the strength of community in Liverpool - everybody comes together for big events like this."
