Jack P Shepherd has won Celebrity Big Brother, with Danny Beard finishing as runner-up.
The Coronation Street star, 37, couldn’t contain his shock as hosts AJ Odudu and Will Best revealed that he received the most votes from the public.
Jack emerged as the winner, securing his place among ITV’s champion lineup which includes other winners like David Potts from Celebrity Big Brother, and Big Brother champions Jordan Sangha and Ali Bromley.
But before his exit, Drag Race star Danny, 32, exited the iconic house after being revealed as the second-place star.
He got emotional as he opened up on how much he loved his time in the house as ‘himself’ without the wigs and makeup.
Before this, 21-year-old Dance Moms star JoJo Siwa looked elated as she got a podium finish on the ITV show in third place.

Danny Beard is in second place as runner-up
Being interviewed by AJ and Will, she revealed she thought ‘everyone was going to hate her’ and is ‘so grateful’ for finishing in third.
Mentioning her strong connection with Chris Hughes, she expressed her feelings by saying: ‘Chris will always be a part of my life, and I’m extremely grateful to have him. He has been my pillar of strength during tough times in the house.’
The star described her pal as ‘more than a friend’ and revealed they already have plans to play tennis together on Sunday.
Reflecting on receiving a letter from home, JoJo revealed: ‘While I was inside the house, I felt fully immersed in the experience. However, when I received the letter, my mind suddenly wandered outside the house, and I felt a sense of detachment.’
She added: ‘Being away from everything you know and the super publicness of my life, I’ve always seen what people had to say about me and felt a pressure.
‘You can’t hide in there, you’re down to your most vulnerable self but now I’m terrified to watch it.’
Just before, comedian and actress Donna Preston, 38, walked out of the door in fourth place to huge cheers from the crowd chanting her name.
Donna was told she receieved the fewest amount of nominations out of all of the housemates – just two throughout the series.

When asked about her odd nomination reasons, the star admitted: ‘I think I was a bit naughty wasn’t I. I honestly didn’t have anything bad to say about anyone.’
And opening up on her close friendship with Danny Beard, she sweetly quipped: ‘As soon as I saw Danny I knew he was my comfort blanket and I knew I was going to be amazing friends with him.’
It comes after Chris Hughes and Chesney Hawkes were evicted from the house in sixth and fifth place.
The Love Island star, 32, was told by AJ and Will that he would be the first to leave the house during the live final on Friday night.

Then, just moments later the One And Only hitmaker, 53, was revealed to be in fifth place, following behind Chris.
As he was interviewed by Will and AJ, Chesney emotionally quipped: ‘I’m trying not to cry, I keep seeing my wife.’
Meanwhile, reflecting on his experience, Chris explained: ‘It’s like a relentless environment. When you wake up in the morning you’re on it until you go to bed. It was an amazing experience and I’ll never forget it. All six of us are so close.’
When quizzed about his friendship with JoJo Siwa, Chris said: ‘I know what I’m like as a human being and I know how I bond to people.
‘I want to not take life too seriously. JoJo was like a pure rock to me, she was someone I can have fun with and it was beautiful friendship.’
Over the last few weeks, the duo have raised eyebrows over their ‘flirty’ friendship in the house.
Getting emotional, he hinted that the Dance Moms star reminded him of an ex-girlfriend.

Chris said: ‘She reminded me a lot of… the thing that fascinated me the most about her was what she’s been through as a teenager and that’s similar to what my ex-girlfriend went through.’
‘From a friendship point of view, of course I love her.’
‘Why would I not want to get on with people? Everyone will naturally bond to somebody. It was just a friendship that was only going to get stronger.’
Throughout the night, the vote keeps being frozen to evict the housemate with the fewest votes, with the viewers then being given five new free votes each time.
The remaining six finalists had an emotional last dinner together on Thursday night, where they talked about their memories in the house, before enjoying a disco.
