The Stress Sessions

Craig Phillips: Winner of Big Brother Series One (UK)

Season 3, Ep. 12

Series Three, Episode 11 with the first EVER winner (and my favourite ever contestant) of Big Brother UK, Craig Phillips.

This episode includes:

  • A crossover with the amazing Parenting Hell podcast (presented by Rob Beckett and Josh Widdicombe) with chat about kids.
  • Using DIY skills to help with mental illness - especially throughout lockdown with loneliness and isolation.
  • Winning the first ever reality television programme and being catapulted into the public spotlight.
  • The sad passing of friend, Nikki Graheme, who suffered with an eating disorder (and also appeared on series seven of Big Brother UK).  

If you enjoy this episode or any of the others, please share with friends, family, or anyone who you think they may help.

On a side note, I'm not a professional in this field, nor do I claim to be. These podcasts are purely based on my own, personal experiences, and those of my guests, alongside some simple hints and tips along the way.

If you are suffering from a mental illness, there are lots of amazing charities that will be able to help you by offering professional advice. You'll be able to find these here
