Carole Vincent has announced that she is still collecting dole money and signing on at the Jobcentre after leaving the ‘Big Brother’ house.

The former housemate and obsessive housecleaner told the Daily Star: "I am completely skint. I lost a lot of money going into the house and still had bills coming in."

The newspaper reports that she was forced to give up housing and tax benefits during her time in the house, which amounted to £3,000.

Talking about life after the show, she said: "I know quite a few of the younger finalists like Ziggy, Chanelle and the twins are on their way to becoming millionaires, but I'm not jealous. There's no lucrative deals waiting for me.

"If I had won the show, I would only have used a bit of the money to pay bills and go on a holiday, the rest I would have given to charity."
