I don't think there are "many other deals" for current BB winners.

Consider Craig Phillips, Brian Dowling, Kate Lawler, Cameron Stout, Nadia Almada, Anthony Hutton, Pete Bennett, Brian Belo, Rachel Rice, Sophie Reade and Josie Gibson

The last winner to make big money was Pete Bennett and that was mostly made up of his biography advance.

A few recent HMs, including Samanda, have made signicant amounts, but the rest rapidly disappear into obscurity or eke a precarious living for the paps for a few months.

Obviously, this year's winner will be feted by the Star, but he (or she) will forgotten by Xmas - HMs don't even get offered panto nowadays (and that's a nice little earner).
