Celebrity Big Brother has come to an end with a tense final, which saw Chris Hughes as the first of the finalists to be evicted from the house on Friday night. While Chris heard many boos during Tuesday’s evictions, he remained positive as he waited for the hosts announcements.
Not long after Chris was announced as the first star to leave on the final, AJ Odudu – dressed in a stunning silver gown – and Will Best went straight into fifth place announcements as Chesney Hawkes was evicted to chants of ‘Chezzatron!’ Only one house can be crowned the winner of the 2025 series after a few incredible weeks of tears, laughs, controversial moments and uncomfortable friendships.
Fans were divided by the sixth place announcement, with one user writing on X: “I’ve felt indifferent towards Chris for the whole series despite him being one of the 2 main characters but i don’t think he deserves any boos and I think he should’ve placed higher than 6th.”
“Shocked Chris was out first of all the finalists,” another said.
On Friday evening, CBB fans watched as AJ Odudu and Will Best hosted for the final time this series, with only six housemates remaining following Tuesday’s triple eviction.
Soap star Jack P Shepherd, Drag Queen Danny Beard, Love Island’s Chris Hughes, singer Chesney Hawkes, dancer JoJo Siwa, and comedian Donna Preston were the finalists, having remained safe in the public votes.
The first person to be evicted from the house was Tory MP Michael Fabricant. Not long after, Hollywood actor Mickey Rourke was kicked out of the house following his aggressive behaviour towards Chris.
He also shocked fans over his homophobic comments at JoJo, fatphobic comments to Donna, sexual innuendos to Ella Rae Wise and rude comments to Patsy Palmer.
When it came to the next eviction, Trisha Goddard was voted out. Before Daley Thompson left, he made a comment about the “game players” of the house, leaving Ella conflicted.
Earlier this week, a huge twist saw three stars evicted from the house. On Triple Tuesday, Angellica Bell, Ella Rae Wise and Patsy Palmer walked out the doors to greet AJ and Will after weeks being monitored.
Last year’s CBB series saw David Potts be crowned the winner, with Nikita Kuzmin coming in second place and Colson Smith in third.
