Celebrity Big Brother winner David Potts partied the night away with host AJ Odudu and his fellow housemates at the reality show’s wrap party on Friday.

The Ibiza Weekender star, 30, narrowly beat Nikita Kuzmin, 26, to the crown as he came in second, with Colson Smith coming in third, Louis Walsh fourth and Fern Britton in fifth place.

Celebrating the end of their three week stint in the house the cast enjoyed a boozy night out at The Grand Junction Arms in north London.

David put on his usual leggy display in a sequinned blazer that he teamed with a plain black top and matching shorts.

Joining the cast, AJ, 36, looked incredible in a semi-sheer corset top and navy blue wide leg trousers.

The presenter accessorised with a grey baseball cap, topped her look off with a pair of trainers and draped black bomber jacket over her shoulders.

Nikita, who finished in second place, looked stylish in a black blazer with quirky white satin detailing.

He topped his look off with some chunky Dr Martens and departed the bash hand-in-hand with his girlfriend Lauren Jaine.

David was cheered by the crowd as he made an energetic exit from the iconic house on Friday.

He then told AJ and Will ‘Slay! I really did not expect this at all, thank you so much’

Speaking to hosts AJ and Will during his first interview on Late and Live, he said: ‘This is just me, what you see is what you get. Loud, long legs, here to slay!

David also spoke on Sharon Osbourne putting him in the ‘danger zone’ on the first night: ‘That didn’t surprise me, I get pre judged a lot on first impression.’

Discussing his friendships in the house, David said: ‘I like people, especially people who have the same energy as me, like Bradley for example, I gravitate towards them. ‘Me and Bradley have the same sense of humour, he’s just a great guy.’

‘I’ve never really been one of the lads, but when I got really close with Nikita and Colson, I was like, ‘not me being one of the lads.’ I love it, I’m so versatile these days.’

On Bradley’s shock exit during Thursday’s show, David added: ‘I was devo, I genuinely thought he would be in the final. I thought everyone would love him as much as I do.’

At the end of the interview, David summarised his experience as an ‘absolute slay’.

He added: ‘We are strangers at the beginning and I delved right in. So I’ve learned to have a bit more trust in people, let my guard down. Other than that keep slaying.

Earlier on in the night, it was revealed that Coronation Street star Colson – who plays Craig Tinker on the ITV1 soap opera – had landed in third place and felt ‘so lucky’ to have got so far in the game.

He said: ‘It’s amazing, I feel so lucky to have been on the show. I never thought I’d have the podium finish but I’m absolutely delighted.’

Prior to that, former X Factor judge Louis Walsh had emerged in fourth place overall and admitted that he had had some ‘tough’ nights on the show and was ‘glad’ to be out.

‘I am so glad to be out, we had a brilliant time, but it is scary! I really wanted to go a few times, it really is tough at nighttime, during the day is okay’.

Bradley offered the cameras a peace sign before heading home

The first of the five finalists to be evicted was This Morning legend Fern Britton – who exited the house to cheers from the crowd whilst Jennifer Lopez track ‘Let’s Get Loud’ played – and noted that even though it had been a ‘fantastic experience’, she was pleased to finally be out.

She said: ‘It’s marvellous, it’s been a fantastic ride and I’m so happy to be out!’

After almost three weeks of nominations, tears and drama, the iconic reality show has come to an end, with the final batch of housemates bidding farewell to the home for good.

To celebrate their last night as a group, Big Brother set up a fancy dinner in the living room.

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 Walsh left fans shocked as he placed fourth, despite many thinking he would win the show

Former This Morning presenter Fern Britton came is fifth place on the ITV show

On Thursday, the finalists were revealed as David Potts, Nikita Kuzmin , Louis Walsh , Fern Britton and Colson Smith

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.

While Sharon Osbourne also departed the house after serving eight days as the first Celebrity Big Brother lodger.
