During his time in the house, the star was accused of being patronising by his other housemates, but grew close with fellow finalist Jayne - with them both announcing they considered the other as their ‘best friend’ in a task on Monday evening.

On his final day in the house, he told his housemates that the experience was a "crazy, fantastic, surreal twist" in his life.

He later said to the Diary Room: "Thank you for getting me ready for the rest of my life in a funny way."

On his relationship with fellow finalist Jason, he said: "Jason is not an easy guy to shake, but there were times when it was testing my friendship a bit.

"But he'd earned my patience and he earned my friendship so I did it."
