After six weeks of tears, tantrums, Diary Room rants, and epic shopping tasks, we have our winner of Big Brother 2024.
Tonight hosts AJ Odudu and Will Best announced that history had been made as forensic psychologist Ali Bromley was declared victorious, taking home the life-changing sum of money of £90,000.
This means Ali, 38, is not only the oldest-ever female winner of the beloved reality show but also its first-ever lesbian winner in the UK.
Having rocketed up the betting odds in recent days, Ali beat fellow finalists Marcello Spooks, Segun Shodipo, Hanah Haji, Nathan King, and Emma Morgan to join 2023 champ Jordan Sangha in the BB Hall of Fame.
The final of the second series of ITV’s revival began with the remaining housemates being evicted one by one, walking out to a rowdy live audience as the public vote reopened in short intervals. In total, over five million votes were cast tonight.
Segun finished in sixth place, having received the fewest public votes to win.

Nathan then came fifth, Hanah came fourth, and Emma earned bronze in third.
That left just two, with tensions through the roof as both Marcello and Ali waited with bated breath to hear who had taken the crown.
As Ali’s name was read out, the ‘Red Witch’ was visibly stunned, the crowd outside erupting into cheers and applause.
The final week of Big Brother has been dramatic, to say the least—and we wouldn’t have had it any other way.
A shocking – and somewhat unpopular – twist introduced us to Big Brother’s Vault, which first of all sent Rosie Williams – aka Baked Potato – packing in an unexpected backdoor eviction.
That task also saw the prize fund reduce by £10,000, which went straight into Segun’s pocket. So, he may not have won tonight, but he didn’t do too badly in the end…
The Vault reopened just one day later and left four more housemates vulnerable. Ultimately, it was Sarah Griffiths and Thomas Atkinson who were shown the door.
This gave us our final six, all of whom have had a rocky side inside the walls of the famous complex.

Speaking during their final dinner last night, each housemate delivered a speech to reflect on their journeys.
‘I’ve come in here expecting to not really get on with anyone. I’ve ended up really liking everyone,’ Nathan told his fellow housemates with a smile.
Ali added: ‘I’m so, so grateful to be here at the final table and to have gone through everything that I’ve gone through with you guys.’
‘You’ve made me feel comfortable, you’ve made me feel at home, and you’ve all been a very special part of this journey,’ Marcello said.
