Craig Phillips

Star of… Big Brother (2000).
Best remembered for… becoming Big Brother’s first-ever winner, and promptly donating his £70,000 prize money to fund an op for family friend Joanne Harris, who had Down’s syndrome. Also confronted Nasty Nick for cheating, and enjoyed will-they-won’t-they flirtatious relationship with Nick’s replacement, Claire Strutton (and no, they didn’t).
And now? Thanks to his property company and small-screen career as a DIY expert/rent-a-celeb, Craig is sitting pretty at No.8 on the recently unveiled Reality TV Rich List. His personal fortune? Around £5m. Most recently, he courted controversy during a magazine interview by claiming Jade Goody was “a total nightmare” when they starred together in Back To Reality.
