It was then announced farmer Cameron had finished in fourth place before Jenny finished in third.

Tonight’s show also saw ITV officially confirm Big Brother will return for another series in 2026.

Applications have now opened, with potential housemates being asked to commit up to eight weeks for the programme next autumn. 

Composer and author Richard, from London, might have been a late addition to the household, but he has won over the public with his reaction to evicted housemate Caroline’s behaviour towards him.

Some of the insults levelled at Richard included Caroline’s claim that he was ‘boring’ and she went as far as to compare him to Mr Bean in her exit interview where she declared: ‘Richard is not funny.’

Richard had been a clear favourite to win the reality show for some weeks now, bookies slashing his odds to 1/5.

It was previously revealed how controversial housemate George was disinvited from the live finale after being removed from the house.

ITV bosses asked him to leave after what they said was ‘repeated warnings’ about his ‘offensive behaviour’.
