This year’s Celebrity Big Brother winner has been announced as Jack P. Shepherd. On Friday night, ITV viewers tuned in to see which finalist would be following in David Potts’ footsteps.
During the episode, fans saw Chris Hughes finish in sixth, Chesney Hawkes finish in fifth place, Donna Preston in fourth and JoJo Siwa in third.
In the end, it came down to Jack P.Shepherd and Danny Beard, who were both blown away to be the last two housemates.
However, hosts Aj and Will confirmed it was Jack who would be walking away as this year’s winner – although many viewers of the ITV reality show were less than impressed with the result as many took to social media to express their frustration.
One person said: “Absolute fix.” Another commented: “JoJo should have won. End off.”
Someone else wrote: “It’s a fix. How has Danny not bagged that?!” Confused, another tweeted: “Is this a joke…. This is a joke right??”
While one viewer commented: “Na, I’m sorry it’s giving fix. Jack did nothing except drink tea, he is funny, but so’s everyone else.”
Another added: “What an actual joke that the person who has just stood or sat around drinking the whole series has won bc he’s from a soap, what a JOKE.”
However, there were some fans who were thrilled that Jack won the show. One viewer said: “Congratulations Jack. Fully deserved winner. Unlucky Danny.” While someone else added: “YESSSSS!! Congratulations Jack!! So happy!!” Another commented: “Awwww Jack!!!! Congratulations!!”
When Jack walked out of the house, it was clear the Coronation Street star was in disbelief as the crowd erupted into a loud cheer.
Speaking to AJ and Will about his triumph, he said: “I can’t believe it! I am blown away. I didn’t expect it. Tonight, there are six of us, I thought I was a show in for maybe a fifth.
“Honestly, as people were just disappearing, I thought, ‘Surely not!’ Then when JoJo went, my head fell off! I had her nailed down as the winner.”
