Big Brother 1 winner Craig Phillips and his nemesis 'Nasty' Nick Bateman have hinted that they may be returning to the house during the final series. Nick and Craig told BBC Radio 4's Front Row programme: "We might show our face in there, yes." But, according to BBC News, Craig refused to confirm he had struck a deal, and Nick said a contract was not signed. They both suggested the final series shoud have been a contest between the 10 previous winners and other memorable contestants for a 'Big Brother gold'. Nick mooted another idea: "Perhaps even a Big Brother worldwide with the most notable contestants might work." "But that's for the producers or a new channel to explore," he added, suggesting Big Brother might continue after it left Channel 4. *Big Brother launches on Channel 4 on Wednesday, June 9, at 9pm
