It ran for 11 seasons on Channel 4, and then another eight on Channel 5, before finishing in 2018. Several celebrity editions of the show also ran as viewers lapped up the rows, romances, tantrums and tears which were the inevitable by-product of house mates being cooped up together for several weeks.
"I know they've got a younger audience from shows like Love Island, so it might look a bit different. On series one, Craig earned plaudits for his straight talking with"Nasty" Nick Bateman, who was caught trying to influence nominations by writing names on notes. Nick was kicked out of the show and faced a lot of heat from the tabloid press and the public.
He added:"After I was on, I would always ring Channel 4 at the end of the series and tell them to get the winner to give me a ring so I could give them advice and warn them about certain things."
