Reality star David Potts was revealed as the winner of Celebrity Big Brother during Friday night's highly-anticipated final (March 22).
More than two million people cast their votes in the final, with Louis Walsh, Fern Britton, Colson Smith, Nikita Kuzmin and David in the final five. AJ Odudu and Will Best were joined by a live studio audience - and a number of previous housemates - to count down the results.
Presenter Fern and former X Factor judge Louis finished in fifth and fourth place. Viewers were divided as to whether Louis should've made the final three, with some reckoning he 'carried' the show.

Coronation Street star Colson finished in third place, with Strictly professional dancer placing runner-up. It meant David, from Bolton, was crowned winner.
Viewers had previously called for the Ibiza Weekender star to win the show after he was tasked to fall out with housemates for a secret mission - and he attempted to pick a fight over the last of the Pepsi being drank.
He was also notorious for annoying Louis by singing songs for him 'early' in the morning.
David said he felt 'shocked, on top of the world' and of course 'slay' after winning the show. Taking to X, formerly Twitter, fans were elated for him. Many reckoned he was the 'well deserved' winner.
