Builder Craig also opened up about his reasoning behind going into the Big Brother House, where he was cooped up with strangers for weeks on end with every move scrutinised by the public.

Explaining he had entered the smash hit show in an attempt to raise money for a close friend with Down's Syndrome in need of a heart and lung transplant, he told Lorraine, "I had no ambition to be famous or work on TV... my reason to try and go in and win some money and hopefully get a bit of publicity."

Revealing some advice he was given by EastEnders icon Barbara Windsor when he met her at the Royal Albert Hall years ago, he added, "Barbara and I were at the Royal Albert Hall one night... and Barbara said to me to me television is a fantastic industry to be in when you don't need it... when you don't need TV it's great... but when you need it, it can become problematic."
