Celebrity Big Brother 2024 has crowned a new winner.
Following the success of Big Brother UK 2023 on ITVX and ITV2, a new set of celebs moved into the Big Brother house for a fresh version of the spin-off.
As before, our new set of celebrities left their glitzy homes behind and were locked inside the house (which was given a bit of a facelift ahead of their arrival). Inside, they stayed under the watchful eye of Big Brother and took part in all the usual Big Brother staples like challenges and nominations...
The series has now come to an end; here's what you need to know about Celebrity Big Brother 2024.
Who won Celebrity Big Brother 2024?
Reality TV personality David Potts was crowned the winner of Celebrity Big Brother 2024, besting Fern Britton, Nikita Kuzmin, Louis Walsh and Colson Smith.
During dinner in the final show, Potts thanked the other finalists for 'letting me be me' during his time in the house, adding: "I genuinely did not think I would be in a house with 12 people who I actually genuinely really, really liked".
After the result was revealed, ITV shared a reaction clip from David on social media, which you can find below:
