Julian Clary Wins Celebrity Big Brother

Julian Clary has been crowned as the winner of this summer's Celebrity Big Brother.

The comedian dissolved into tears when he was told by show host Brian Dowling that he had polled the most votes - and told viewers: "You've made a 53-year-old homosexual very happy."

When asked what winning the show meant to him, he replied: "I hope it will give me a shot in the arm. I'm going on tour quite soon."

Coleen Nolan was the runner-up - and the pair embraced as emotion overcame them on hearing the result.

She was quizzed by Brian about her falling-out with Julie Goodyear and hit out at the Coronation Street star's "fakeness", leaving Julie looking very grumpy as she watched from nearby.

Martin Kemp seemed disappointed to find himself in third place, while Mike "The Situation" Sorrentino appeared perfectly happy to finish in fourth place.

The Jersey Shore star was grilled about his relationship with Danica Thrall and told Brian that, despite her protestations, she must have fancied him a bit really.

He seemed more embarrassed when Brian broached them subject of the H.A.M. nickname adopted by MC Harvey, Ashley McKenzie and himself (it stood for "Harvey, Ashley and Michael").

Team GB judo athlete Ashley finished in fifth place while MC Harvey was sixth.

When asked to sum the experience up in one word, Harv replied "life changing".
