BIG Brother winner Anthony Hutton was left floundering on the deck after a boozy party.
The Geordie dancer got plastered at a reunion bash for the show's contestants.
And he ended up rolling on the floor, unable to walk.
It took a lady friend and his driver more than an hour to get him into a waiting car and back to his hotel.
Once in the back seat, his pal tried to revive him, without much success.
Eventually he was driven away, sprawled out on the back seat.
The party was held at plush Kew Gardens in Surrey.
Anthony won the Big Brother title last Friday after 11 weeks in the house.
He beat Eugene Sully to first place.
Ant spent much of his time in the house flat on his back after boozing sessions His best pal in the house, camp hairdresser Craig Coates, told him he loved him while he was sozzled.
But the next day, Anthony had no recollection of it.
Anthony's latest binge came 24 hours before he was crowned an ambassador for young people.
Hungover Ant, 23, returned home to Consett, County Durham, last night to be hailed a shining example to kids at a hero's reception.
Derwentside District Council organised the party for friends and family to celebrate his arrival home.
Council leader Alex Watson said: "Anthony has put Consett on the map.
"We're pleased to recognise his achievement by bestowing on him the honour Ambassador for Young People.
"I am sure that in the future, as an ambassador with family connections in the district, he will continue to do so."
Anthony is the town's first choice to switch on this year's Christmas lights
