Denise Welch Wins Celebrity Big Brother

Loose Women star is voted surprise winner of reality show...

Actress and TV presenter Denise Welch has become the surprise winner of this year's Celebrity Big Brother, beating Michael Madsen, Gareth Thomas and Frankie Cocozza on the final night.

And the 53-year-old Loose Women host didn't disappoint her supporters when she left the house, giving them one of her trademark bra flashes.

Former X Factor contestant Frankie had been expected to be the surprise winner after rapidly gaining ground on previous favourite Gareth.

Asked how it felt to win by show host Brian Dowling, she replied: "I'm not gonna be modest it feels bl**dy brilliant.

"Honest to God, I don't think I've ever been as lost for words. I didn't know what to do - I didn't know whether to celebrate or get my t*ts out.

"I can't even talk, oh my God. Because I was the last one in, I thought it was a joke and I'd been forgotten about and I wasn't going in."

Frankie placed second in the contest, with Gareth third and Michael fourth.

And during the usual post-match analysis, she spilled the beans on her more problematic relationships in the house.

Discussing her row with Nicola McLean, who threw a strop when Denise pulled down one of the Playboy twins' PJ bottoms, she said: "To be honest, I said to Nicola, I meant what I said, I regretted the way I said it.

"Because I bottled everything up, but a few sherries later, it came out."

And on the subject of Michael Madsen, who she didn't exactly hit it off with, she said: "Brian, you tell me. To the day I know I will not understand that man.

"Not everyone is gonna like me. I'm a pathetic people-pleaser. It's the unpredictability of Michael. I tried to get to know him and it didn't work."
