Big Brother winner Craig Phillips asks for hospice donations instead of wedding gifts

Everyone remembers the first Big Brother winner ever.

If you don't, don't worry about it, we got you. It was Craig Phillips and he stole the hearts and minds of the nation when he walked out of that house in 2000, hugged Davina, and become the first person to ever win the reality TV show. A lot has happened since then - in Big Brother and out of it - but Craig has seemingly not changed a bit. Back then, it was reported that Craig decided to donate the entirety of his prize winnings to his friend Joanne Harris to pay for her heart and lung transplant. And now, Craig has said that instead of receiving wedding gifts from people on his big day, he'd like them to donate something to a hospice which provides palliative care to children and young adults. Speaking to the Oxford Mail, Craig explained that his wife-to-be Laura's brother was diagnosed with a brain tumour soon after he was born. https://www.instagram.com/p/BYeQT18je58/?taken-by=craigbigbro1 Craig said that Laura's brother, Daniel, inspired him to give back. He said:

"He battled with the disease for three years and towards the end of his short life, he was in a lot of pain but there was nothing more the doctors could do for him. "Within 10 minutes of his arrival the hospice had done what the local doctors couldn’t, they gave Daniel a place to find comfort and gave Laura’s family the chance make the most of the time they had left with their son."

Laura's wedding dress will also be auctioned off after the ceremony. Craig proposed to Laura last year when the pair were holidaying in Sydney. They are expected to wed tomorrow. https://www.instagram.com/p/BekQVxqF6LV/?utm_source=ig_embed
