Sophie Pledges To Give Siavash £10k

Big Brother 10 Winner Sophie Reade has pledged to give £10,000 of her winnings to the man she beat at the series Finale on Friday, runner-up Siavash Sabbaghpour.

Appearing on the 'Big Brother's Little Brother' reunion show today just two days after becoming the victor, Sophie was quizzed over the matter and confirmed that she intends to give that amount away.

When asked what he'll do with the money, Siavash – who received nothing for coming second – replied: "What I said I was going to do with it: I'm still researching to see what charity or something to give it to".

Glamour girl Sophie, who hasn't had any modelling work since last year, scooped over £70,000 when she won the series by an absolute landslide. The 20-year-old told BBLB host George Lamb that she was giving Siavash the cash because he earnt it by wearing a silly lycra costume towards the end of the series.

She was referring to the fact that the prize money had been reduced to zero as a punishment because the housemates ran riot in the camera runs, and Siavash was good enough to give-up his stylish clothes in-order to return £10,000 to the prize fund when given the opportunity by Big Bro.

However Marcus, who came 7th overall, was probably a bit gutted to hear about Sophie's kind gesture, seeing as he forwent the opportunity to return £15,000 to the prize fund by refusing to chop-off his ponytail.

Still, it's unlikely that Sophie would have gifted the 35-year-old martial arts fan anything if he'd cut his barnet and made her £15k richer, given that the model only nominated eleven times during the series, and on eight of those occasions she chose to nominate Marcus.

In contrast, Siavash and Sophie didn't nominate each other once during the 13-week run.
