At first he only wanted to last a week or two and make "a couple of good friends". He made it that far and then the goal changed to wanting to make the final week. He's achieved these goals and more – Dexter Koh has finished Big Brother in second place!

Dexter was a bona fide character and an all-round smooth talker who entertained the nation with his consummate game-playing for all of the 68 glorious days of this series.

Mr Koh started out his stint in the House as something of an enigma. A self-proclaimed PR Guru and dating expert with gambling problems and a hall pass from his girlfriend. Naturally, he wasn't an instant hit. So strange was he to his fellow housemates that they dreamed up the bizarre theory that Dexter was his own twin. That one even surprised us.

He was all sharp jackets and bravado but, little by little he began to trust his housemates a bit more while winning their trust in return. This led to some seriously touching heart-to-hearts. Most notably he formed an alliance known as #Ginxter with Gina while they were shacked up in the Safe House following a notorious double fake eviction.

Perhaps it was while viewing Charlie through the Safe House monitors that Dexter developed feelings for her. He voiced these feelings for the young Ms Travers but found her aloof and disbelieving.

However, before long he established himself as one third of a tempestuous love triangle with Callum. The pair took it too far with the trash talking and had a proper barney, before opting to avoid each other where possible. We saw Dexter's softer side when his mum paid an unexpected visit to the garden – and that was totes emosh.

The House would certainly have been a more sombre place without him. Who else would have streaked around the garden? Who else would've entertained the House with feats of conjuring? More to the point, where would we have got all our seduction tips from?

Fare thee well, Dexter! We've learned so much from watching you...
