Gary Busey has won ‘Celebrity Big Brother’.
The 70-year-old actor – who was the favourite to win the show – beat boxing star Audley Harrison, despite causing controversy amongst his fellow housemates.
Addressing the crowd as he exited the house, Gary said: "I can’t tell you this feeling of enlightenment and loving love from Britain and all the housemates that I lived with and everyone here.
"I know why the word ‘Great’ is front of Britain."
In his interview with Emma Willis, he added: "It’s a feeling of surprise and honour and a tribute to my love for this country."
Meanwhile, Gary – who is the first American winner of the show – admitted he had no idea what the house would be like.
He said: "I saw the housemates and it was like: ‘Wow this is great’. I had no idea what I would be up against and people challenging me.
"When you’ve been around the sun 70 times … you’ve got a new knowledge of life and you’ve got a new knowledge of humour and you learn to respect the youth … That’s life, that’s evolution, that’s growing up. I didn’t know what to expect."
Gary – who has starred in Hollywood hits such as ‘Lethal Weapon’ and ‘Point Break’ – revealed the show had changed him as a person.
He explained: "When I go back home, I’m a changed man. I will be with my sweetheart wife Steffanie everywhere she goes. I will read my son Luke books every night to go to sleep … it’s great."
