His first reaction to the win was suitably laconic as he simply uttered “crazy” as AJ Odudu and Will Best went back to him after he had been confirmed as the winner. Before exiting he paused to spray some cologne and look around one last time.

On the outside, he repeatedly called it “crazy” and seemed lost for words. But after a brief break, he sat down with AJ and Will and opened up about his victory.

He said: “I didn’t expect it. I thought I was a shoe-in for maybe fifth.

“I super analysed the whole show, thinking about maybe where I am in the pecking order.” He also described himself as a “super fan”.

Jack added: “I guess I was liked by the end.”

What has the reaction been on social media?

Viewers quickly took to X (formerly Twitter) to react to the result of Celebrity Big Brother’s final. And it is safe to say that people were divided.

Many users were shocked that Danny Beard didn’t win with one person writing: “The Facebook mums strike again.” Another added: “Erghhhh should have been Danny.”

However many were pleased that Jack won. One wrote: “David Platt winning #CBB was not on my bingo card for 2025! Gail would be proud.”

Another said: “Jack drinking tea all season and wins the whole thing. Legendary.”
