Celebrity Big Brother 2024 LIVE final – who won? David Potts bags the most votes to be crowned CBB king
David Potts has been crowned the winner of Celebrity Big Brother 2024 after three weeks of drama, feuds and brutal evictions.
The Ibiza Weekender star was announced the series champ following a tense live final, hosted by AJ Odudu and Will Best.
David, 30, fought off competition from his fellow finalists Fern Britton, Louis Walsh, Colson Smith and Nikita Kuzmin before triumphing.
He and Nikita were the last men standing, before AJ and Will called out David's name - much to his amazement.
The stunned reality star, who had his bare legs on show and repeatedly used his "slay" catchphrase, then proceeded to kick off his slip-ons and pace around the house barefoot.
Speaking on spin-off show Celebrity Big Brother Late and Live, David gushed: "I've had such a good time, the housemates were so amazing and I just felt like we made our own fun."

All alone
David Potts is now alone in the house as Nikita Kuzmin enjoys his moment as the CBB 2024 runner up.
I always find this moment funny, that they get left alone knowing they have won the show.
Nikita and David were worthy winners, but I'm glad David has taken the crown!
David wins CBB!
David Potts has won Celebrity Big Brother 2024!
A massive congratulations to our newest CBB champ.
Dry chat
Colson is definitely a nice guy, but he's exit interview wasn't the most exciting, was it?
Big Brother bromance
Will just reminded Colson that he arrived in the house admitting: "I hope someone wants to be friends with me."
He definitely found some pals. There's bound to be a bromance WhatsApp group set up among Louis Walsh's newest boyband.
Too late!
The live vote is now closed - who is it going to be?
David Potts and Nikita Kuzmin remain, after batting off competition from Colson Smith, Louis Walsh and Fern Britton.
Who wins? You've decided!
Sharing a kiss
Colson shared a quick kiss with his girlfriend following his exit from the CBB house.
This is the first we've seen of his mystery woman and they both looked delighted to be back in each other's arms. Aww cute!
Colson is out!
They're coming thick and fast tonight - and Colson Smith is next to be given the boot!
The Corrie star's eviction means the final two men standing are David and Nikita.
Is it going the way you expected?
Apology accepted
Louis KNEW his and Lauren's letter of apology was ridiculous after they were both put in the wheelie bin of shame.
"Did you like our letter of apology? Good," he mused, as Lauren laughed on from the audience.
At least he admits it wasn't genuine!
Who IS he?
Louis Walsh has a friend other than Sinitta and Sharon!
AJ just pointed out the X Factor star's pal Brian sitting in the audience.
Poor Brian. I bet he was gutted to have been sidestepped by Sinitta in the friends and family episode.
Colson confusion
Colson Smith has made it to the final three of Celebrity Big Brother.
But not everyone thinks he deserves his place, despite there being "a few per cent" separating Colson, Nikita and David.
One disgruntled viewer wrote on X: "Colson in the top three has me reporting to Ofcom."
Another added: "Surely the whole cast of Corrie voted for Colson because this actually makes no sense for him to be in top 3."
Three men standing
With Fern and Louis out of the way, there are three men left standing in the CBB final.
Colson, Nikita and David are currently awaiting their fate and wondering if they will be crowed the king of CBB 2024.
Who is getting your vote?
Afraid of the dark
Louis Walsh has revealed he found the CBB experience "scary" and "tough".
The X Factor judge claims he even wanted to quit several times during his three week stint.
He told AJ and Will: "It's scary. I really wanted to go a few times. It really is tough at night time.
"Day time is fine but the nights are tough."
Fourth place finalist
Louis Walsh is the next housemate to leave the Celebrity Big Brother house.
His exit come hot on the heels of Fern Britton's departure and he jumped up and pretended he was delighted that he hadn't won. As they so very often do.
Backing off
Fern insists she's returning to Cornwall and will be bowing out of the limelight now she's out of the house.
Just wait until those big money deals start rolling in though, Fern. You might change your mind then when the #spons start flowing through the door.
Snake in the house
Fern claims she felt "traumatised" and "distraught" about putting the snake in Louis Walsh's bed.
It begs the question as to why she did it in the first place....
Straight on it
AJ and Will were straight in there to grill Fern about her feud with Nikita.
But she insisted: "I think we just misunderstood each other. It's all good now. He's fantastic."
Fern again called it an 'accidental misunderstanding', before revealing he'd asked her to tie his satin bow tonight. All is forgiven then.
Mummy's back
Fern has reunited with her daughters - and she couldn't be happier.
She told AJ and Will: "I just feel marvellous. It's been a fantastic ride and I'm so happy to be out."
After the break, Fern will be chatting to the pair. I'm keen to know if 'stripy jumper-gate' will be brought up.
Something tells me it will.
Fifth place finisher
Fern Britton is first to be evicted from the Celebrity Big Brother house tonight.
It's a vote to win and Fern received the fewest number of votes.
There was also a bit of booing from the crowd there.... Eek.
It's been emotional
It's been emotional, guys.
All the housemates are in tears as they reflect on their 'journey'. AKA three weeks in the CBB house.
Fern has apologised to Nikita for their "bump in the road" and David is slaying his way to the finish. Louis also claims he's had the time of his life.
But who is going to be crowned this year's CBB champ?
No show Sharon
Sharon Osbourne has also given the final a miss tonight.
The X Factor judge was only ever a house guest, appearing in the show for the first week before bowing out.
I hope we still get to hear from her tonight in some form or another.
MIA housemates
Ekin-Su and Gary Goldsmith are notably absent from the CBB final.
Gary has already confirmed his absence in the wake of Kate Middleton's shock cancer diagnosis.
Ekin, meanwhile, has dodged the spotlight since her car crash eviction interview last week.
It was reported yesterday that she has 'withdrawn' from the final as she feels "vulnerable" and wants "time to reflect.
Swit swoo!
AJ and Will look mighty fine this evening.
Just look at that dress, AJs. Swit swoo!
And you're not looking too bad either, Will.
The housemates have all glammed up...and are all wearing black.
Is that a fluke? Or did they coordinate their final night outfits?
Who wins... you decide!
Everybody ready? It's the night we've been waiting for - the CBB 2024 final.
It's bound to be a little tense in that house right now.
Who gets your vote? Who wins, you decide!
Not long now...
Just 30 minutes to go until the explosive Celebrity Big Brother conclusion.
Five stars will battle it out to be named champion in tonight's feature-length finale.
