Celebrity Big Brother 2024 Final: David Potts crowned winner as Nikita Kuzmin places second

After almost two weeks of unadulterated chaos, brutal nominations and silly challenges, the Celebrity Big Brother 2024 final has taken place.

David Potts has been crowned the winner in an “incredibly close” ending that saw him in the final two with Nikita Kuzmin.

The Ibiza Weekender star beat Strictly Come Dancing professional dancer Kuzmin to the title, after Coronation Street actor Colson Smith finished third, former X Factor judge Louis Walsh came fourth and TV presenter Fern Britton placed fifth.

Heartstopper actor Bradley Riches was eliminated in a brutal back-door eviction in the penultimate episode.

Riches’ eviction arrived after his fellow housemates were visited by their friends and family. But when it was the Heartstopper star’s turn, he was met by Celebrity Big Brother co-host AJ Odudu, who informed him he had received the fewest votes and was the seventh housemate to be evicted.

Meanwhile, viewers have accused ITV of “fixing” the show so that Walsh could stay in until the final. Britton named Walsh as her choice for an immediate eviction, but in a plot twist orchestrated by Big Brother, he was granted immunity.

Celebrity Big Brother final airs tonight at 9pm on ITV1 and ITVX.
