Big Brother winner Chad Hurst makes no mention of splitting his prize money with Sophie Budack

Big Brother fans are convinced Sophie Budack and Chad Hurst have broken up after he makes no mention of splitting his prize money with her

He previously promised he’d split the prize money with his girlfriend Sophie Budack, but Chad Hurst made no mention of it after winning Big Brother on Wednesday.

The 27-year-old model excitedly revealed he was planning on taking a holiday with his friends and would pay off his mother’s bills, but didn’t reference Sophie at all.

‘Boys, start booking flights, we’re going on a trip, and I’m looking after Ma’s bills. That’s all that matters to me,’ he said of how he’d spend the $234,656 cash prize.

His omission prompted many fans to wonder if he’d split from Sophie, 25, with the two appearing tense as they stood alongside each other before the announcement. 

‘Didn’t Chad say he would split the money with Sophie – and vice versa – if he won? Then no mention of it when asked what he was doing with the money?… Hmmm… I hope he didn’t welch on the deal,’ tweeted one viewer. 

‘Sonia: What are you going to do with the money? Chad: Not share it with Sophie,’ wrote another viewer.
