Nadia Almada was crowned the winner of Big Brother 5 on Friday night.
The 27-year-old, originally from Portugal, won over the public and has been the hottest favourite ever in the programme's history.
"There's no words that could show the happiness inside me," she said on leaving the house. "Thank you so much."
Jason Cowan, a 30-year-old air steward from Glasgow, came second with Daniel Bryan, 30, from Hull, third and Shell Jubin, 21, also from Glasgow, fourth.
They had been locked in a TV house for 10 weeks, with nine other contestants kicked out along the way.
Nadia broke down in tears and started shaking when presenter Davina McCall announced the news.
She kept the fact that she used to be a man from her fellow housemates and began the series as a 50-1 outsider.
But she endeared herself to the nation to win the £63,500 prize.
