It’s been six weeks since our beloved Big Brother returned to TV screens across the country… and we now have our winner.
The ITV revival has been a mega hit since AJ Odudu and Will Best made their hosting debut, five years after the social experiment last aired on Channel 5.
We’ve seen some pretty whacky shopping tasks, shocking eliminations, witnessed fiery arguments between housemates, as well as some steamy snogging, and it’s all been leading up to tonight’s grand final.
Millions of votes were cast as viewers chose between Jordan, Yinrun, Henry, Olivia, and Noky to take home £100,000.
There could only be one winner, though, and it was Jordan who took home the prize.
As for the rest of the housemates, Olivia was our runner-up, finishing second.

Henry came third, Yinrun finished fourth, while Noky was fifth.
All walked out of the new ITV house to wild applause and cheers from the crowd, with their ex-housemates – minus Trish Balusa – also there to welcome them.
Ahead of the big winner announcement tonight, the finalists were shown enjoying one last meal together on their final night.
Dressed up to the nines, all five took turns to give a speech, reflecting on their BB experience.

‘Thank you for the good, the bad, and everything in between,’ said former Miss GB Noky.
Olivia added: ‘This is special and for the rest of my life I will remember tonight.’
Henry said sweetly: ‘This process has unlocked some kind of, my emotional orifices, and I’ve been able to be a much better person for it.’
Reflecting on his time with Henry, a smiling Jordan shared his excitement to get to know each other away from prying eyes.
‘You’re wonderful and I can’t wait to spend time with you on the outside, without the cameras,’ he said.
Lastly, Yinrun praised her fellow finalists for ‘helping me to know myself.’

As the lights went out in the Big Brother house for one final time this year, fans wept as Jordan and Henry brought things to a very fitting end, sharing one final embrace in bed before saying goodnight.
‘This is Big Brother… goodnight, housemates,’ Big Brother concluded.
