Fortune smiles on Big Brother's 'non-celebrity' winner

Celebrity Big Brother winner Chantelle Houghton was today on her way to making her fortune after being signed up by a talent agency within hours of confounding expectations and defeating all of the show’s “real” celebrities.

The previously unknown 22-year-old Essex girl joined the roster of John Noel Management, which already has strong links to Big Brother, representing the show’s presenter Davina McCall and former contestants Jade Goody and Craig Phillips.
