The 48-year-old star – who won the first series of Big Brother in 2000 – is poised to build his dream house as part of the upcoming programme, and the show is currently at the centre of a channel bidding war.
Craig said:
‘They’ve filmed the whole process of it and I still haven’t seen a single minute of footage yet.
‘We’ve built our dream house and have two more filming days, then the interviews of the journey. It’ll be on early next year and will be my next big TV launch’.
Craig became a household name 20 years ago when he starred on Big Brother.
But he still hasn’t watched the landmark series back, even after sitting down to enjoy it with his wife Laura.
He told The Sun newspaper’s Bizarre TV column:
‘I suggested to Laura we dig out the footage I was given when I left. We laughed about it as Laura was still in school when I was in it.
‘Then we realised we didn’t have a VHS tape, so we couldn’t play it’.

Craig previously admitted that winning the first series of the show totally transformed his life.
He explained:
‘It was the ultimate combination of emotional highs as well as a scary situation to be in – once I’d stepped out the door I started to live a life that most people dreamed of having, almost the entire country knew my name and appeared to love me!
‘Every A-List celeb I chatted to became my friend, people and companies were paying me obscene amounts of money to be associated with them, I had bodyguards that chauffeured me around day by day and we changed hotel every night for months and months!’
