EXCLUSIVE: Craig Phillips, the first ever winner of Big Brother, speaks to OK! about his time in the Big Brother house and how his life changed dramatically after the show
Craig Phillips, who was the first winner of Big Brother back in 2000, has opened up about his time on the show and has revealed how his life changed after leaving the iconic Big Brother house.
“When I got out, I was living in hotels for another 97 days. It was crazy. I had a chaperone, bodyguard, press officers and agents who would take me to different places morning, noon and night,” he said. Despite being launched into the limelight, Craig continued to follow his passion for construction and it is still something he pours his heart into 23 years on.
Craig has recently teamed up with Santander UK as part of the ‘Santander Greener Streets’ campaign in a bid to show people how easy it can be to make small eco-changes that are better for the planet, but also for their bank account. “LED light bulbs are quite cheap, so swapping an all halogen light to an LED one is a quick, easy and inexpensive fix to make when it comes to making your home more eco-friendly,” he explained. “My second tip is to close air gaps around the house, such as getting draft excluders to stop cold air coming in through your doors and windows. Even sealing gaps with silicone sealant can do so much for your home.
