EXCLUSIVE: ‘I DIDN’T THINK I’D WIN!’ – Coronation Street’s Jack P. Shepherd breaks silence after controversial Celebrity Big Brother victory. A breathtaking journey that moved the nation.
Celebrity Big Brother has announced its 2025 winner during its highly-anticipated live final. After almost three weeks in the iconic house, the ITV show revealed which of the six semi-finalists had received the most votes from the pubic with an extra-long episode.
After giving viewers the chance to vote for their winner, hosts AJ Odudu and Will Best finally revealed that Jack P Shepherd had won Celebrity Big Brother 2025. Departing the house as runner-up, RuPaul’s Drag Race season four winner Danny Beard told the Coronation Street actor: “Well done, well done.”
Earlier in the final, former Love Island star Chris Hughes became the first star to be evicted, with Chesney Hawkes booted out of the house moments later. During the pair’s joint interview, Chris broke down in tears as he compared JoJo Siwa to his ex-girlfriend Jesy Nelson in relation to their teenage experiences with fame.
Comedian Donna Preston was the next to join AJ and Will on the outside, with JoJo being the final star evicted before the winner was announced. The Dance Moms star said Chris was “more than a friend” as she was grilled on their friendship in her exit interview.

While the series began with 13 housemates, one particular star didn’t make it to the end of the first week – with Mickey Rourke being asked to leave after a number of incidents within the house. Big Brother gave Mickey a formal warning for using h0m0ph0bic language towards JoJo Siwa on his second day in the competition and by day six, we had been asked to leave.

The Hollywood star was kicked out after six days in the house for “further use of inappropriate language and instances of unacceptable behaviour”. It came after the 72-year-old aggressively confronted Chris Hughes during a pirate task and called him a “c***” and made a s3xually crude comment to Ella Rae Wise.
After Tuesday’s triple eviction, just six housemates remained in the Celebrity Big Brother house: Chesney Hawkes, Chris Hughes, Danny Beard, Donna Preston, Jack P. Shepherd and JoJo Siwa.
Unfortunately, Angellica Bell, Patsy Palmer and Ella Rae Wise narrowly missed out on places in the final, with the trio being evicted during the show’s triple elimination on Tuesday.

In the run-up to tonight’s final, there has been a lot of discussion among fans around Chris and JoJo’s relationship after the pair grew close on the show.
Earlier in the week, fans slammed Chris on social media after catching him plant a kiss on JoJo’s head while they bathed in the hot tub on the livestream. “I don’t care what anyone says anymore!!!! Chris and JoJo’s relationship and how they act with one another is so inappropriate. Imagine JoJo’s girlfriend watching this. She’s not going to be okay with this behaviour,” one fan fumed.
Meanwhile, Chris reportedly walked away from his role on ITV Racing ahead of entering the CBB house. The former Love Island star had previously been involved in co-hosting race meetings such as the Cheltenham Festival and Royal Ascot.
An insider revealed: “Chris had a dream job on ITV Racing, but things turned sour after his ITV wouldn’t up his pay. He wasn’t paid what he thought he was owed. He had a great rapport with Oli in the Social Stable, and ITV Racing viewers have been left wondering where he went.”
