Jim Davidson wins Celebrity Big Brother
The 60-year-old triumphed over rapper Dappy in the final of the Channel 5 reality show.
Davidson was the bookie’s favourite going into the show, with Paddy Power giving odds of 5/1 as against Dappy’s 3/1. The pair became pals over their time in the house and said: 'I love Dappy. I wish he was my son. And I hate rap.' Equally Dappy said the comic was a father figure, since his own father had died. 'I'll call him Dad for the rest of my life,' he said tonight.
Critics said his time in the show demonstrated there was more to him than the sexist dinosaur that is his public image.
Davidson had been due to take part in last year’s show but became embroiled in the Operation Yewtree investigation into historic sex abuse claims – but no charges were ever made
On tonight’s final show Casey Batchelor was the first to be evicted, getting the lowest votes from the public. She was followed by a trio of other reality show characters: The Only Way Is Essex’s Sam Faiers, The Apprentice’s Luisa Zissman and Made In Chelsea’s Ollie Lock
