Big Brother rich list: net worth of Big Brother contestants from Alison Hammond to Chantelle Houghton

Big Brother is back - the reality TV series returned to our screens on Sunday night. The new ITV reboot sees a new batch of contestants sent to the Big Brother House, as they face tasks and challenges to win a “life-changing” cash prize.

Big Brother was the original reality TV show. First coming to our screens in 2000, it saw a group of ordinary people thrust into the spotlight, with their everyday moments being broadcast nightly to the UK public. From tasks to rations, housemates were put to the test before being voted out.

The fame wasn’t always short lived, with Big Brother helping to kickstart the careers of many household names including Brian Dowling, Alison Hammond, Rylan Clark and Josie Gibson. So, who has got rich after Big Brother? Here is net worth of some of Big Brother’s biggest stars.

According to Bustle, she has an estimated net worth between £1-4 million.
