Claire Richards finishes fourth in Celebrity Big Brother

Steps singer Claire Richards has finished in fourth place in tonight’s Celebrity Big Brother final.

After an emotional goodbye to friend in the house Rylan Clark, she left to a positive reception from the crowd, which she later described to host Brian Dowling as “overwhelming”.

Of Heidi and Spencer, the singer deemed the pair’s behaviour “spiteful” and said she still had no idea whether they were being their true selves in the house.

Richards added that she was not expecting to be in the house for the length of time that she was and that the experience had taught her she was “much tougher” than she had previously thought.
