Charlie has finished Big Brother in fifth place!

Our ravishing rapper, Charlie Travers has come to the end of her Big Brother "journey", coming fifth in this year's final. Not quite the traver-sty...

Charlie had quite an experience over the full 68 days, filled with love triangles, furious arguments, lots of self-analysis, mother-daughter bonding, a massive chocolate spread fight and, of course, the now infamous Cucumber Incident.

Entering the House as the first mother-daughter pairing, Charlie's mum Jackie survived all the way to Day 38 and the pair bonded, bickered and bantered throughout their five weeks together. Charlie grew rather close to Callum in the early weeks, much to her mum's consternation. When that close friendship faded, she became friendlier with Dexter, causing something of a vague love triangle to develop. Jackie wasn't amused but, as soon as she'd been evicted, Charlie began to let her hair down in quite a rowdy manner.

Smearing chocolate all over herself and best pal Hazel (at that time), irresponsibly waving cucumbers in other people's faces and jumping into swimming pools against Big Brother's express advice – it was like a wild dog was let off its leash.

But more upset was to come as Charlie found herself falling out with Hazel after Friends and Family nominations rocked the House. The House went into meltdown and Charlie was once again caught in the middle as the dispute morphed into a full-on war between Hazel and Gina after the Busy Bees task upped the tension.

In her final week, the Big Pay Off task upset the apple-cart for pretty much everyone. Charlie's beef was with her pal Dexter who she didn't expect to play the game so cannily. Which is odd, as he's generally agreed to be the most canny player in the House.

Well done on such a fantastic finish, deep-thinker Charlie Travers! For such a pensive, mild-mannered girl, you didn't half have your fair share of House drama. We're going to miss you a heck of a lot.
