John Loughton wins Big Brother

John Loughton has won Big Brother: Celebrity Hijack with Emilia finishing as the runner up.

The two remaining housemates were sat on the sofa holding hands when Dermot O'Leary told them their fate.

"What?" shrieked John, in a state of disbelief.

"You've won John!" replied Emilia.

Once the result had sunk in, he ecstatically hugged the acrobat and was congratulated by O'Leary.

"You deserve it so much more than me!" admitted second-placed Emilia, who left the house joking that she was "going to faint". She was also shocked by the amount of booing coming from the crowd outside.

Inside the house, John hugged O'Leary who told him that he was a deserving winner. The newly crowned Big Brother winner managed to successfully negotiate the stairs, after joking he would trip up on them, and was greeted by fireworks and rapturous cheers from the crowd.

At the time the lines closed, John had 53.9% of the vote while Emilia received 46.1%.
