ITV’s Big Brother has returned for a brand new series, with a group of new housemates hoping to be crowned this year’s winner.
As ever, tensions continue to rise in the iconic house as personalities clash and the housemates take part in brutal challenges as well as facing nominations and the public vote each week. As well as hoping to be crowned this year’s winner, the housemates are all wishing to not only take home the crown, but also a huge £10,000 cash pot.
However, there can only be one winner. Since ITV rebooted the social experiment, there have so far been three winners including Jordan Sangha, Ali Bromley and Richard Storry.
But where is last year’s winner Richard Storry now as the star made history as the oldest contestant to win the nation’s favourite series. Here’s all you need to know.
Where is Big Brother winner Richard Storry now?
Since leaving the Big Brother house, Richard is continuing his work as an author and composer. Taking to Instagram earlier this year, he confirmed he had a total of 15 books released over the course of 11 years, with number 16 on the way.
He added: “Massive thanks to all my friends and loyal followers for all your support. I truly appreciate every one of you. #bigbrother #richardstorry #fiction #author.”
The star also launched his own podcast, alongside fellow housemate Tate Reynolds called Jolly Good Natter over Coffee and Biscuits which can be streamed on YouTube, with episodes released often.
The episodes often feature exclusive insights into Big Brother, with Richard having his say on the current series as well as sharing behind the scenes secrets. Away from Big Brother, he also uses the platform to chat about his own book releases as well as hosting special guests.
What did Richard spend his winnings on?
After winning a huge prize pot, Richard has since revealed what he spent his winnings on, and the answer may come as a surprise.
Speaking to Premier On Demand earlier this month, Richard admitted he has since been recognised in strange places including over in America as well as Heathrow public toilets.
But he is often asked what he spent his prize money on, as he shared exactly where the money went. Speaking to Premier Christian Radio, he revealed the money unexpectedly went to his son and their family in America when they faced a financially difficult period.
After moving areas, he said the “bank of dad” was heavily called upon as he admitted: “and I’ve got to tell you, had I not won that prize money it would have cleared me out.”
However, he also used a small portion of the money as a treat for himself, which included a first class plane ticket when he flew out to America to see his loved ones but the star admitted the luxury was a “one off” in what he dubbed a now or never moment.
Big Brother continues tonight at 9pm on ITV2 and ITVX
