Celebrity Big Brother has crowned its 2025 winner following a live final which saw six finalists battle it out to win the most votes from the public.

In tonight’s final, presenters Will Best and AJ Odudu made the announcement that Coronation Street star Jack P Shepherd had won the 2025 series, as voted for by the public after two-and-a-half million votes were cast.

“I can’t believe it, I am blown away I didn’t expect it,” Jack said. “I thought I was a shoo-in for maybe fifth. As people were disappearing I thought ‘surely not’.”

“I just figured that I might annoy a few people and they might not quite know how to work me out and then after a while they changed opinions and, yeah, I guess I was liked by the end,” he added.

Earlier in the show it was announced that Love Island star Chris Hughes finished in sixth place, singer Chesney Hawkes came in fifth, comedian Donna Preston finished in fourth, while JoJo Siwa was in third place and the runner-up was RuPaul’s Drag Race UK star Danny Beard.

Danny said of coming in second place: “I had the best, best time and to do the whole thing as me, not with the tits, not with the wigs and the love, it’s so emotional.”

“Just being here tonight no matter what position I came out in, I’ve had the best time,” Danny added.

“I’m so overwhelmed,” JoJo said in her exit interview. “I thought coming out of here everyone was going to hate me.”

“I feel so grateful,” she added, before opening up about her friendship with Chris. “Chris is in my life forever now. I’m so incredibly grateful for him. He is more than a friend, he is such a special guy. He’s family now.”

Asked about his relationship with JoJo in his exit interview, Chris said: “JoJo was like a pure rock to me. She was someone I can have fun with and I had fun with her every day. That to me is like a beautiful friendship.”

“From a friendship point of view, of course I love her,” Chris admitted to the delight of the crowd.

Elsewhere, we were treated to a recap of the housemates’ last day and the group were treated to a final dinner party where they shared some emotional tributes to each other.
