Career
editMilski initially worked as a sheet metal worker in the Ford Body and Assembly Plant in Niehl, Cologne. In 2000, in the first German season of Big Brother, he became one of the audience favorites, finishing second, alongside Zlatko Trpkovski , whom he befriended during the show. Afterwards he recorded his first single 'Großer Bruder' (Big Brother) with Trpkovski, which topped the German sales charts for several weeks with over 800,000 copies sold. He went on to make various television appearances and other music productions followed suit.
Since his Big Brother fame, Milski has made a living as a singer in Mallorca and as a carnival entertainer. In his book 'Ich sag's', he gives an insight into his experiences with the television industry. From March 2005 to February 2016 he presented call-in competitions on 9Live and Sport1. In September 2005, he starred in the Big Brother season 6 celebrity special.

His former employer Ford ended their collaboration as a sponsor in 2007. In the same month Milski started the band project Rühmanns Scherben together with Willi Herren and Libero5.[citation needed] From January to July 2008 he took part in the eighth German Big Brother season and co-hosted the weekly show Big Brother – Die Entscheidung on RTL II.[2] Since 2012 he has presented the reality TV show Das ist das Leben! on RTL II[3] and has presented the talent show Die Entertainer – Auf ins Rampenlicht on Super RTL since March 2012 with Anna-Maria Zimmermann.

Controversies
