CBB7: Alex Reid Wins Celebrity Big Brother Final

The final of Celebrity Big Brother 7 was eventually won by Alex Reid, as the cage fighter went head to head with Dane Bowers. This time the pair were not at a New Year's party, but at the very last Celebrity Big Brother final. Dane and Alex won half of the total votes between them during the eviction final. Alex eventually won with 65.9% of the public vote.

Alex Reid won over public affection during the four week stint inside the Big Brother house, exposing his weaknesses with his open and honest talking (as well as exposing himself to housemates with Jonas!). He proved himself the real winner after rising above the comments of Vinnie and the taunts of the other housemates to become the favourite in the final days of the series.

Dane Bowers came second in the final with 34.1% of the public vote, after beating Vinnie Jones (3rd), Jonas Altberg (4th) and Stephanie Beacham (5th).

CBB7: The Housemate To Finish Third Was.....

Day 27: Finishing in third place in the Celebrity Big Brother final was one time favourite Vinnie Jones. In the most shocking eviction of the night as the tough man got 20.2% of the vote, Vinnie looked surprised not to have won the final.

Crowds had been booing every time Vinnie's name was mentioned and housemates had heard this during an earlier eviction. Vinnie told Alex and Dane that you never know what the press have been saying or what Big Brother had been showing.

At the start Vinnie was the clear favourite to win the last ever Celebrity Big Brother, but as 'daddy' of the house his luck ran out as he clashed with housemates such as Lady Sov and Sisqo. He was never able to recover from his weakened position and viewers didn't like his assertive nature - in the end they opted for Dane and Alex as the final two housemates.

CBB7: Fourth Housemate In Celebrity Big Brother Final Is....

Day 27: The housemate to finish fourth in the Celebrity Big Brother final was Jonas Altberg (Basshunter) with 12.8% of the public vote. Jonas had entertained the public with his early romance and streaking in the garden as well as impressing the girls while in a mankini.

With the departure of his friends from the CBB7 house, Jonas became quieter and public support slowed. But the Swedish singer can hold his head high as he'll be a busy boy now he is out of the Big Brother house.

CBB7: The Housemate That Finished Fifth Is.......

Day 27: The housemate to finish fifth in the Celebrity Big Brother final with 8.6% of the public vote was Stephanie Beacham. She had been the final female inside the CBB7 house after Nicola's surprise eviction on Wednesday.

Bookies had predicted Steph would be the first housemate to be evicted during the live final on Channel 4.

CBB7: Vinnie And Alex Top Sun Poll

Day 27: It looks like it could be neck and neck between bookies favourite Alex Reid and previous favourite Vinnie Jones. Over 6,000 readers have voted in The Sun's online poll and Alex is narrowly leading with 38% of the vote. Vinnie Jones is just 7% behind him in what could become a nail biting CBB7 Final tonight.

Dane Bowers was voted into third place on 18% of readers votes, having slipped back in recent days. The only female left in the Big Brother house looks unlikely to win the reality show as Stephanie Beacham only has 8% of the vote. Surprisingly, Jonas Altberg finished last in The Sun poll with just 5%.

CBB7: Alex Wanted Peter Andre In Big Brother House

Day 27: Housemates were called to the Diary Room and asked various questions from Big Brother fans. Alex was asked if he could have chosen his most ideal celebrity housemate, who would it have been. Smiling as he pondered the question, Alex replied that his choice would have been Peter Andre, so that he could have cleared the air between them.

Dane Bowers was asked if he had kept the mystery key well hidden, he then produced the key from inside his pocket and confessed he had kept the key in his pocket the whole time. When he told Big Brother he had sometime wrapped the key in a sock, Big Brother asked him if he had done it to make his balls look bigger. He laughed and said he would have looked a bit lob sided if that was the case because it was "proper to the side". Big Brother replied, "it would look very big though!"

Jonas confessed that he had missed playing computer games and speaking Swedish most during his time in the Celebrity Big Brother house. Stephanie said she felt relieved to be the only woman left standing. She was 'knocked over backwards' that Sisqo and Dane had considered her fit. She told Big Brother she was far too conscious of being too fat at the moment, but flattered at being considered fit.

Finally Vinnie told Big Brother that he would like to win Celebrity Big Brother as he shared his thoughts. He said he had been honest with people inside the house and said he hadn't spoken behind people's backs during his time in the house.

CBB7: Play Buffhunter Streaking Game

Play this addictive Celebrity Big Brother game - you need to stop Basshunter (aka Jonas) from streaking across the Big Brother garden. Each time you fail to censor his naked body, you get fined, so the lower the fine the higher your ranking. The Buffhunter game is easy to play but highly addictive, so be warned!

CBB7: Will Alex Or Dane Win Celebrity Big Brother?

Day 27: Who would have predicted that Alex Reid and Dane Bowers could end up being the final two housemates remaining in the Celebrity Big Brother? Just four weeks ago the press were reporting how the pair had been involved in a fight at a party. Now it seems Katie Price is the real winner if either of her men are voted the eventual winners in tonight's final.

At first Dane appeared boring and lifeless during his first few days in the Big Brother house, but then stood up to Vinny Jones over the Lady Sov Corned Beef row - from that moment his confidence grew and he won the public over when the Tree of Temptation set him a secret Task.

Alex was not popular at the start because of the press stories and his relationship to Katie Price, his often honest comments sometimes made him look a fool - yet WE love a fool, especially an honest sincere one. Alex proved that he was 'just a nice honest chap', willing to have a laugh and more importantly, laugh at himself. Vinnie may have put him down at the start and Stephen may have been zealous in trying to convert him, yet Alex Reid proved he was still a gentleman and the public could now crown him the winner tonight.

Whoever wins, Alex and Dane have buried any ill feelings they had about each other 27 days ago and can leave the Celebrity Big Brother house with their heads held high.

CBB7: Could Jonas Win Celebrity Big Brother?

Day 27: The final of Celebrity Big Brother is set to be the closest EVER as each finalist has an army of fans voting for them. But could Basshunter Jonas Altberg become the surprise winner later tonight? The 25 year-old has proved a MASSIVE hit with the ladies, with constant press coverage about his sex life outside the house and his flirting with Katia inside the house.

Jonas was never shy about getting naked or dressing up in whatever Big Brother asked of him, even Stephen got him too parade around like a catwalk model in his tight pants. So while the bookies predict Jonas could finish fourth, his female fans may be able to change all of that. Judging by the loud cheers he gets when his name is mentioned on Eviction Night, Jonas could once again go all the way!

Tune in from 20:30 to find out how Jonas does in the CBB7 final.

CBB7: Why Stephanie Should Win Big Brother

Day 27: Did you ever think Stephanie Beacham would last the duration inside the Celebrity Big Brother house? No? Neither did I, yet Stephanie has provided us with huge amounts of entertainment and laughs over the past four weeks. She might be posh but this lady knows how to have fun (most of the time - we'll forgive her for not wearing the animal costume 'for health reasons'!).

She is the only female left in the male dominated house and that should be enough reason to win CBB7, another reason for winning could be for her willingness to join in and take part during the show. Who can forget her role in Celebrity Last Legs, where both Ivana and herself 'cared' for the retired housemates? Getting covered in cake TWICE and yet still laughing about it shows the kind of nature Stephanie has. Many times she was the female voice of reason within the Big Brother house.

At the same time, true to her Dynasty role - Steph could be a bit of a bitch. Those early morning cups of tea with Vinnie proved a breeding ground to bitch, and who could forget her nomination of Ivana? A bitch she may be, but a lovable one at that, Stephanie has made for great viewing and every woman in the land owes her a vote!

Find out how Stephanie does in the CBB7 Final from 20:30 on Channel 4 tonight.

Day 25: The latest twist in Celebrity Big Brother saw Davina McCall enter the Big Brother house for a few hours. As Nicola T was suddenly evicted as part of a Double Eviction from the Diary Room.

Davina McCall entered the house wearing a large chicken costume via the Diary Room and will spend time with the housemates but will not be able to reveal their identity. Very quickly the other housemates were suspicious and believed it was a former housemate returning.

Davina was soon in the Diary Room telling how terrifying the whole experience had become as the housemates were trying to make her talk. The housemates did not suspect that it was Davina that had entered the house. She told viewers that although entering the Big Brother house had been her dream, she didn't want to re-enter the house because she was terrified!

CBB7: Seventh Housemate Evicted Is.....

Day 25: The seventh eviction took place live on Channel 4 and following the eviction of Ivana Trump, yet another female faced the boot from Celebrity Big Brother. This time it was Nicola T who left the CBB7 house before Friday's final.

Nicola has entertained millions of Big Brother viewers over the past twenty five days, joining in various tasks and challenges - winning over public support but sadly not enough to gain a place in the final on Friday. Stephanie is now the only female housemate left in the house, having survived eviction tonight - even though bookies predicted she would leave. Nicola had just over 6% of the vote, with bookies predicting that Alex Reid could now win the final series of Celebrity Big Brother.

Both Ivana and Stephanie refused to take part in tonight's Animal Costume Task, almost scuppering Channel 4's plans to have a new housemate enter in disguise. Eventually viewers saw Big Brother host Davina McCall enter the house for the first time.

CBB7: Sixth Housemate Evicted Is......

CBB7: Why Vinnie WILL Win Celebrity Big Brother

As the end of Celebrity Big Brother approaches bookies and pundits have been speculating who will become the final winner of CBB7. In the first two weeks Vinnie Jones was the undisputed clear favourite to win, then events changed and the eviction of Sisqo proved a turning point.

This week Dane, Nicola and now Alex have favourites to win the show, but I think the public will vote Vinnie as the winner on Friday. My reasoning is this: The final show will attract many more viewers than a typical CBB7 broadcast, so many will be unaware of Vinnie's actions inside the Big Brother house. He will get their votes to win and also the votes from those who previously wanted him to win but swapped sides to Alex or Dane.

The Tree of Temptation Task will show a more human Vinnie and that will warm the heart of the voting public. at the end of the day, they will vote for Vinnie to win because he is the bigger character. While I didn't want him to become the winner (I always go against the norm!), I do think he'll win IF he doesn't put a foot wrong between now and Friday night!

CBB7: New Housemate To Enter Big Brother House Tonight

CBB7: Vinnie Set Task By Tree Of Temptation

Day 25: At first Vinnie Jones refused to do a Task set by the Tree of Temptation. The Tree asked him to tell the housemates over lunch how much he had bonded with them all, and how he has made better friends with the people in the house than he has outside.

The Tree also wanted Vinnie to humiliate himself by taking Alex aside and telling him that he has also secretly cross dressed in the past, and that he had loved it.

Most of all, The Tree wanted tears from Vinnie - something the tough man was not prepared to do. The Tree warned that the housemates would feel the wrath of the Tree if he didn't comply with the request. Vinnie finally agreed to complete the Task, his reward will be watching a game of football.

CBB7: Ivana Award Task

Day 23: Ivana was called into the Diary Room to receive some very exciting news. Big Brother informed her that she has been nominated for the 'Best International Businesswoman on a Reality TV show ' award, by the readers of Scandinavian magazine Kugel Fresh! What Ivana won't know however, is that the award is actually fake, reports the official Big Brother website.

Ivana was told that Big Brother has arranged for her to appear on the awards show later on this afternoon, for which she must give an acceptance speech in English, German and Czech. She will have the afternoon to practice what she would like to say, if she wins.

While Ivana was in the Diary Room, Big Brother informed the rest of the Housemates about the fake award, setting them the task of convincing Ivana that the award is completely genuine. If Ivana at any point thinks that the awards are fake, Housemates will fail the task.

Later, Ivana was asked to make her way to the small Task Room in her finest outfit, where the hosts of the "Scandinavian award ceremony" linked through to announce the results of the awards. Ivana found out she has won and gave her acceptance speech.

Housemates watched Ivana giving her speech in the Living Room on the main plasma, and then they were set another task by Big Brother - to spoil Ivana's award once she returned to the House.

Housemates must firstly tell Ivana that her award looks stupid, and then attempt to drink from the award, and finally, Housemates must break the award.

CBB7: Celebrity Hell Charades

Day 22: Big Brother set the housemates a challenge, a challenge to play a game of 'Celebrity Hell Charades'. Instead of miming movies, songs or books, the Housemates had to mime infamous and embarrassing celebrity faux pas. They had one hour to mime 14 charades and for every correct mime they would receive an extra 5 minutes in bed today.

Much to their delight, housemates successfully passed their challenge, and in record time. The super speedy celebs managed to mime all 14 charades within 13 minutes, leaving them with 47 minutes to spare. They will therefore have an extra one hour and 10 minutes in bed in the morning.

However, all this excitement must have taken it out of our poor celebrities as they were all in bed and fast asleep by 22:45, reports the official CBB7 website. So Big Brother got evil this morning as it woke up the housemates nice and early too the tune of Rick Astley!

CBB7: Big Brother's Big Beard Speaks Out

As we enter the final few days of Celebrity Big Brother 7, my Big Beard can't help but declare it's love for the reality programme. This time last year we all seemed to have had enough of the Big Brother format - I have to admit, my Big Beard had lost interest last year.

Yet CBB7 has proved that Celebrity Big Brother still has plenty of steam as around 3 million have tuned in each night. CBB goes on just long enough to keep us glued to our TV's (take note BB11 - 90+ days in the house is much too long!).

The celebrity housemates this series have been fascinating to watch, even the non-celeb types have proved fun. But the real attraction this series has been Big Brother itself, added to this we have had the Tree of Temptation spicing things up. Davina McCall proved the format works and even the official website has been better than ever, with constant Twitter updates and selective snippets ensuring we all tune back in each night.

Is this really the end of Celebrity Big Brother? Let's hope CBB returns to our screens in the very near future. Mark my bearded words, the public WANT Celebrity Big Brother to continue!
