He told The Sun: "Best advice I can give is that social media life isn't real. Focus on the real world.

"Some people think you go on such a big show and that's it - you're rich for life.

"Everyone is trying to become famous or an influencer. The only genuine influencer I know that's caked in money and really living that life is Molly-Mae and very few others.

"The social media game isn't easy and isn't what people think it is.

"Most of what you see on socials isn't real - most of those people are broke.

Enjoy social media for what it is but don't base your whole life on it. Don't compare yourself to what you see online."

Explianing how he managed to remain successful after appearing in the first winter series, Biggs added: "Any money I got from jobs after the show I saved up and invested in because I knew it's not something that will last forever."

"Unless of course you're Molly-Mae," he added.
