Celebrity
Big
Brother

James
Hill
has
been
crowned
the

Post
a
month
of
drama,
tears,
fights
and
tasks,
James
Hill
emerged
as
the
real

who
won
the
hearts
of
the

and
thanks
to
the
major
votes
from
the
UK
viewers,
the
Apprentice

James
Hill
was
crowned
the
winner
of

received
the
highest
votes
from
the
British
public,

beating

closely
followed

funnyman
Bobby
Davro
in

After
the
announcement,
James
Hill
was
shocked
over
his
win
and
said,
"I
never
expected
it,
ever!"
Host
Emma
Willis
too
agreed
and
said
she
would
never
have
picked
him
as
the
victor
when
the
series
began!
"I've
no
idea
why
the
public
have
picked
me,
but
I've
tried
to
put
others
first
and
just
have
a
great
time
in
the
house",
he
said.
Talking
about
the
unexpected
friendship
inside
the
house
where
all
contestants
fight
to
survive,
James
said,
"You
don't
go
in
to
make
friends,
but
you
do
naturally.
I
got
close
to
some
people
who
hopefully
I'll
be
friends
for
the
rest
of
my
life
with.
I'm
a
loner,
but
to
have
someone
in
the
house
to
lean
on
was
so
special",
he
said
referring
to
his
new
bestie,
Austin.
"I
hope
we'll
have
a
great
friendship.
What
a
man,
he's
got
a
massive
heart."
