Jack P. Shepherd may have clinched the Celebrity Big Brother title – but the real winner is Danny Beard.

Last night, after three weeks of drinking tea fading into the background, Coronation Street star Jack pipped Danny to the post, ending an unbeaten winning streak for LGBTQ Big Brother winners on ITV.

Jack was nice enough, his unhealthy addiction to PG Tips was mildly endearing… but winner?

If this series is remembered for one housemate, it will be Danny and ultimately, that’s what matters most when the cameras have stopped rolling and Big Brother is no longer watching.

When the Celebrity Big Brother cast was first leaked days before the live launch, it was clear this was going to be a spectacular series – Mickey Rourke aside – for all the right reasons.

It was a line-up that was packed with star power, but not reliant on it.
