Ex-Villa star wins Serbian BB

Former Aston Villa footballer Sasa Curcic has won Big Brother - in Serbia.

The ex-midfielder, who Villa paid £4m for in 1996, has been crowned the winner of the Serbian version of Celebrity Big Brother.

He won 50,000 euros after being voted as the country's favourite star following 30 days in the house.

Mr Curcic was one of 13 competitors to take part in the television show.

His appearance in the show will surprise football fans as he was a major Premiership star in the mid-1990s.

Although he quit football at the age of 27 in 2000, he had played for Bolton, Villa and Crystal Palace.

At the time he vowed he would never sign for another club even if he was offered £10m.

But he perhaps showed the right credentials for Big Brother when he gave his reasons for quitting the game: "I've given up football because of sex. I'd rather score in bed."
