In an emotional speech she said: “I personally want to thank the 300 plus team who work tirelessly to bring you this show. To Davina, Marcus and Brian who have paved the way as hosts...

“To all the big brother housemates over the past 18 years and to all of you at home. Without you we would never have lasted without you.

“It's time now for this house to hopefully find a new home. Thank you so much for watching.

She struggled to hold back her tears as she spoke the audience, with many admitting they were crying while watching her.”

The series has been rocked by scandals, including the removal of disgraced housemate Lewis Flanagan.

In an exclusive interview with The Sun Online, the bartender admitted he'd used sickening language in the house.

He defended the Channel 5 bosses' decision to remove him.

During tonight's live show, Lewis confirmed he would not be joining his co-stars at the studios.

Big Brother's Zoe admits she spoke to her son 'all the time' in the house

Zoe and Cian were first out of the house, with Akeem coming second in the competition.

Their post eviction interviews weren't without controversy, as fans believed Zoe admitted she'd spoken to her son during her entire time in the house.

Contestants are banned from contact with the outside world, and viewers believed bosses had twisted the rules for  her.

Cameron burst into tears when Emma crowned him the winner of the series, with fans going wild at the news.
