Rylan Clark wins Celebrity Big Brother

X Factor star Rylan Clark has been crowned the winner of Celebrity Big Brother.

He saw off competition from American odd couple Heidi and Spencer to be crowned the series’ winner.

An emotional Rylan was met by Brian Dowling upon leaving the house and responded to Dowling’s congratulations by saying “coming from you this is a dream come true.”

He added: “For the past year, all people have been doing is picking up a phone for me, and I really appreciate it.”

Speaking about his fellow housemates Heidi & Spencer, Clark said “One thing they did give me is a headache.”

Rylan stated that he was thrilled with his victory for his mother’s sake as she had “gone through hell” whilst he was appearing on The X Factor.

Of best friend Claire in the house, he described her as “everything I wanted her to be and more”.

Rylan then said he couldn’t find the words to sum up his experience in the house.
