Sauli Koskinen (born March 28, 1985) is a Finnish reality star, radio personality, and entertainment reporter from Hyvinkää, Finland. Koskinen first rose to fame as the winner of Big Brother 2007 (Finland). His boyfriend is American Idol winner Adam Lambert.

Big Brother

Koskinen was the winner of Big Brother 2007 (Finland), beating out 19 other contestants in a public vote over a 14 week period. Before applying for the show, Koskinen worked as a clerk in a Helsinki clothing store. Mikko Räisänen, the casting director for Big Brother, has said that the decision to put Koskinen in the Big Brother house was made within the first two minutes of his casting interview, crediting Koskinen's positivity, likability and openness.

Career

In 2008, fans petitioned to have Koskinen and fellow Big Brother contestant Niko Nousiainen make a return to television. The campaign resulted in the brief television show "Sauli and Niko’s Best Clips," in which Koskinen and Nousiainen provided commentary on viral videos. Shortly thereafter, Koskinen was hired as a web-based entertainment reporter for Finnish tabloid Iltasanomat, where he provided commentary on entertainment news in weekly videos with co-host Katri Utula. In 2011, Koskinen and Utula traveled to the United States to produce a special version of their weekly web series entitled "Tutka Roadshow." As of June 2011, Koskinen continued to work for Iltasanomat and was additionally hired as a US-based call-in entertainment reporter for Finnish radio station Radio Aalto.
