Celebrity Big Brother star David Potts has been announced as the winner of the 2024 series tonight.

Tonight’s final saw Fern Britton finish in fifth place, Louis Walsh in fourth place and Colson Smith in the third spot. That left Nikita Kuzmin and David to battle it out for the crown.

But after more than three million votes, hosts AJ Odudu and Will Best announced the winner was reality TV star David.

David jumped up, looking utterly shocked as he was announced as the winner. Hugging Nikita, he said: “I’m so proud of you.”

Well done David if anyone had to win between those two I’m glad it was him!

Nikita then left the CBB house and spoke to AJ and Will. He said: “I just feel this sense of happiness. I feel grateful and joy.”

Speaking about his experience, he said: “It just gives me more confidence in being myself without the filter. Being the kind of Nikita that my mum would be proud of me. Have those kind eyes that my mum always told me to have.”
