Portuguese transsexual Nadia Almada has been voted the winner of this year's UK Big Brother reality TV show.
Nadia, 27, gained huge public support and had been the hottest favourite in the programme's five-series 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, a bank clerk living in Surrey, broke down in tears and started shaking when presenter Davina McCall announced the news.
She kept the fact she was born 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.
