In scenes during Friday’s show, the housemates gathered around the table for one last time as they reflected on their experiences.
David thanked Big Brother and his fellow housemates for letting him be himself.
The Ibiza Weekender, 30, said: ‘I genuinely did not think I would be in a house with 12 people who I actually genuinely really, really like.
‘Thank you for letting me be me, I love you all. ‘
Nikita admitted that he didn’t expect people in the house to be so fun and is happy that people like him for who he is.
The professional dancer, 26, said: ‘I didn’t expect to actually meet such fun people.
‘I said to myself one thing is that I’m going to just be Nikita the way my mom would be proud of me and it’s very reassuring that people just liked me for me.’
Music manager Louis, 71, added: ‘So here we are, the fab five… I came in here not knowing what to expect, but wow, it’s been a learning experience for me.
‘You’ve been amazing to me, I appreciate it. We’re all winners as far as I’m concerned.’
Coronation Street star, Colson, 25, known for his role on the cobbles as Craig Tinker, said: ‘…the experience isn’t anything without the people and the housemates.
‘This experience has kind of taught me to back myself, be kind to myself and be confident and be me…’
TV presenter, Fern, 66, quipped: ‘the most gracious, talented men I have ever known, and I want to thank you for the kindness you have shown me as the last woman standing.
‘So, all that’s left to say is, may the best man win.’
The housemates spent the rest of the evening dancing and singing before peeling off to reflect in the diary room.
Louis told Big Brother, ‘We have had the time of our life in the Big Brother house… I was a bit wacky, a bit funny and had an opinion on everybody. I will never forget it.’

Reflecting on her time in the house, Fern said: ‘I wanted to come and have a television adventure and I’ve had it… It’s injected me with enthusiasm for television again… it was just this reminder of a familiar place, and probably how much I’ve missed.’
David noted, ‘It’s been a crazy ride, but don’t forget… Big Brother… slay. Slay every day.’
Thursday night saw Bradley Riches became the latest star to be booted out on Thursday, following Zeze Millz, Marisha Wallace, Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu, Levi Roots, Lauren Simon and Gary Goldsmith.
