Katie Price has won ‘Celebrity Big Brother’.
The former glamour model, who was paid £500,000 to appear on the Channel 5 show, feared she was "going to have a panic attack" upon being crowned the 2015 champion tonight (06.02.15) after going head-to-head in the public vote against runner-up Katie Hopkins.
The 36-year-old star, who had a breast reduction shortly before she was unveiled as a surprise new housemate 10 days after the series kicked off, broke down in tears during her interview with host Emma Willis and admitted she was very surprised to win.
She said: "I don’t understand. I went in with a medical problem, so I’ve been on antibiotics and painkillers. I haven’t been 100 percent well so I think I’ve been boring, so I don’t know why I’m here."
The brunette beauty, who has five children, Harvey, 12, Princess, nine, Junior, seven, Jett, 17 months, and five-month-old daughter Bunny, from different relationships, is looking forward to being reunited with them and husband Kieran Hayler.
She said: "I miss them so much."
Earlier in the show, Hopkins insisted she was happy to come second, but branded her rival "boring as hell."
The 39-year-old TV presenter, who polarised viewers due to her strong views and frequent spats, added: "I think I was the most hated housemate in the history of people going into the house. That’s the territory I know, that’s the territory I believe in. I am used to the boos, I wear big old boots because it allows me to be a tougher old bird. I am quite tough, my opinions are quite hard."
Asked about the tension between her and former housemate Perez Hilton, she said: "I think I was in there to take him on, to be his adversary. If he wasn’t the biggest twat, I may not have been the second biggest twat. You need a sparring partner in the house."
Calum Best, 34, came third and after being congratulated, he said: "Thank you. And I’m thrilled to bits with that, but I’m absolutely exhausted."
The former party boy went into the house to change the public’s perception of him.
‘RuPaul’s Drag Race’ judge Michelle Visage, 46, was the first contestant voted out tonight, while 58-year-old presenter and actor Keith Chegwin, who enjoyed an emotional reunion with his wife, came in fourth place.
