BIG Brother star Darnell Swallow faces jail after being investigated for housing benefit fraud.

The 27-year-old, who came fifth in last year’s series, is being quizzed by officials after claiming he did not make a penny out of his TV appearance.


Officers at North London’s Islington Council also investigated X Factor winner Alexandra Burke’s mother Melissa Bell. Housing benefit fraud carries a maximum jail term of seven years.


Albino Darnell said: “When I left Big Brother everyone else was getting magazine deals but I couldn’t get an agent so I didn’t get a penny.”


He could also become homeless after failing to pay his rent to a housing association.
