Rachel Hodgson of RDH Photography said: “I was hon­ oured to be asked to shoot the race reception. It was a fan­ tastic atmosphere and it was great to see so many of the runners’ family and friends out there supporting them.”


on his way into the infamous house, the self-confessed “la­ dies’ man” told Big Brother host Emma Willis: “I play ten­ nis at county level and I go to one of the best universities in the world - number four to be exact. In terms of achieve­ ments, I’m pretty established and getting more established in music. “I f something happens


and I don’t want to do music, I couldjust be a doctor or a sur­ geon.” Speaking in an interview


before he entered the house, Cristian explained his reasons for wanting to appear in the hit reality TV show: “I would love to go in because I think it will be a weird experience.
