Jack P Shepherd Takes the Crown in Celebrity Big Brother 2025!
Jack P Shepherd from *Coronation Street* won *Celebrity Big Brother 2025*, beating finalists including JoJo Siwa and Chris Hughes. Shepherd was shocked by his win, initially thinking he was headed for fifth place. The season featured drama, including Mickey Rourke’s ejection for inappropriate language and Siwa’s identity revelation.
In a shocking turn of events that left viewers just as stunned as the finalists, Jack P Shepherd, star of Coronation Street, has been crowned the winner of Celebrity Big Brother 2025. After 25 years of playing David Platt, Shepherd outshone fellow finalists including drag artist Danny Beard, pop sensation JoJo Siwa, and TV favourite Chris Hughes, not to mention comedian Donna Preston and 90s pop star Chesney Hawkes who also graced the final.
Minutes post-win, a gobsmacked Shepherd exited the house, repeatedly uttering “crazy” as he was greeted by hosts AJ Odudu and Will Best. The self-professed Big Brother superfan declared, “I can’t believe it, I am blown away. I didn’t expect it.” He further expressed his surprise at how he’d initially thought his place was solidly fifth, only to watch his housemates vanish in shocking eliminations.
“When JoJo went my head fell off – I had her nailed down as the winner,” he lamented, still reeling from the turn of events. Shepherd shared an endearing glimpse into his experiences in the house, stating, “I was skipping into the diary room even if they were telling me off – I loved it. I loved the whole thing.” One can imagine him doing an actual jig while the cameras caught his confession in the diary room.
The series had its fair share of drama, particularly when Hollywood actor Mickey Rourke was booted out for his colourful use of language, landing in hot water over comments deemed homophobic towards Siwa. After a tiff with Chris Hughes, Rourke’s chapter in the house was abruptly closed, reminding us all that reality TV can take unexpected turns faster than you can say “outrageous behaviour”.
Speaking of Siwa, the star’s presence added a layer of charm as she revealed her evolving identity in the house, casually declaring, “I’m switching letters!” With a funny quip about moving from the ‘L’ to the ‘Q’ in LGBTQ, she shared her own personal epiphany about being queer instead of solely identifying as a lesbian. How exciting for her!
This series has seen a flavourful array of contestants eliminated progressively, including TV presenter Trisha Goddard and sporty legend Daley Thompson, who all played their parts in building buzz around the show.
Among the final lineup were several notable names like former MP Michael Fabricant and presenter Angellica Bell, but none could steal Shepherd’s thunder. Having been part of Coronation Street since the tender age of 12, the 37-year-old has strongly hinted that he wants to stick around for another 25 years. So, folks, don’t hold your breath for the end of David Platt just yet!
