In 2000 Craig became the first winner of Channel 4's Big Brother with over 10 million tuning in to watch the final night. He donated his winnings to his best friend's niece, Joanne Harris, who needed a heart and lung transplant. Craig continues to actively support a wide range of charities.
After 'Big Brother' the BBC spotted Craig's DIY skills and down to earth manner, and he was drafted in as resident expert on various shows. He has now appeared on over 600 episodes of television for all major broadcasters including BBC, ITV, Channel 4, Five, UKTV Style and Discovery Real Time.
Craig is certainly a man of action and is always ready for a challenge! He has abseiled off one of London's tallest buildings, "zip lined" 600 feet across an open quarry, took part in 12,000 ft skydive jumps, off piste skiing in the Alps, wing walked at 2,000 ft, run the London Marathon, trained and won a competition in Thai boxing, and qualified as an open water scuba diver.
In 2005 Craig set up the biggest independent construction training centre in the North-West of England - the Craig Phillips Building Skills Centre. The Centre provides courses in brickwork, carpentry and plastering and was formally opened by Cherie Blair. Craig has since sold the Centre to Carter & Carter, a vocational training company.
