Summary

Will Best's journey from T4 to Big Brother hasn't been straightforward. It might surprise you to know that in between he's run a tech company, launched an alcohol brand, and ask a lot of questions to Simon Cowell.

His start has never been brighter than it is right now - hosting Hits Radio breakfast with James Barr and Fleur East and standing alongside AJ outside the Big Brother house.

It's a fascinating story which has seen Will pick himself up after several false-dawns. He's always adding to his knowledge, and learning from every challenge - something we can all learn from.

Enjoy the episode!

Cheers.
