Celebrity Big Brother star Donna Preston spills house secrets after 'wild experience'
Comedian Donna Preston and pop star Chesney Hawkes appeared on Good Morning Britain to reveal how they passed the time in the Celebrity Big Brother house
Donna Preston and Chesney Hawkes have revealed how they killed time with zero entertainment, social media, TV, music, or books in the Celebrity Big Brother house.
Comedian Donna, 37, and pop star Chesney, 53, made it to the final after three weeks in the iconic Big Brother house - and their time there didn't go without any drama.
Appearing on Good Morning Britain on Thursday morning with hosts Susanna Reid and Ed Balls, Donna did a rendition of her now viral song 'Donna's Delivery Service' after Big Brother gave her the task of delivering certain challenges to her fellow housemates.
And according to both Donna and Chesney, music is what got the housemates through the experiment. When there was nothing else to do and when they were sick of talking about themselves, they would get together and make up songs to perform in front of one another.
"It kept us sane," Donna quipped as she explained how the housemates killed time in the house. "It was a wild experience. It was so fun." Chesney then said: "Well I'm glad I had Donna." To which she replied: "I'm so glad I had you."
"The experience exclorates your bonding doesn't it, because you've got literally nothing else to do. You have no phone, no TV, no nothing, so all you have really is time to get to know each other," Chesney chimed. Donna then added: "Yeah, and we sang a lot. That passed the time. We made up a lot of songs."
On Friday night, Celebrity Big Brother announced its 2025 winner during its highly-anticipated live final. After almost three weeks in the iconic house, the ITV show revealed which of the six semi-finalists had received the most votes from the pubic with an extra-long episode.
After giving viewers the chance to vote for their winner, hosts AJ Odudu and Will Best finally revealed that Jack P Shepherd, 37, had won Celebrity Big Brother 2025. Earlier in the final, former Love Island star Chris Hughes, 32, became the first star to be evicted, with Chesney Hawkes, 53, booted out of the house moments later.
During the pair's joint interview, Chris broke down in tears as he compared JoJo Siwa, 21, to his ex-girlfriend Jesy Nelson in relation to their teenage experiences with fame.
Comedian Donna, 38, was the next to join AJ and Will on the outside, with JoJo being the final star evicted before Danny Beard, 32, and Jack were left sitting waiting for the the winner to be announced. In the end, Jack came out on top.
Earlier this week, Celebrity Big Brother bosses revealed the full voting breakdown - and it's wasn't good news for Chris. Due to the fact Chris was the first to be evicted from the house, it has since been revealed that he received only 2.52% of the public votes in the final. Next up, Chesney wasn't far ahead of Chris as he received 3.04% of votes.
Donna was next after she received 8.18% of the public votes while JoJo was close with 13.17% of votes. In the end, it was even closer between Danny and Jack as the Drag Race UK star scored 35.72% of votes. But ultimately, it was Coronation Street star Jack who came out on top - but not by much - with 37.37% of the votes.

Holly Willoughby's plans unveiled as she's left without upcoming TV show
Holly Willoughby has been an ITV staple for the last few decades but it looks like she won't be on our screens in the near future Holly Willoughby's career plans for the future have reportedly been unveiled as she's been left without an upcoming TV show. The star has been a staple on our screens for years but it seems that she hasn't got any upcoming projects for us to look forward to. The 44-year-old is now at a point in her career where she hasn't got a programme lined-up for the first time in 21 years. This comes as her usual presenting gig on Dancing On Ice has come to an end as the show has been axed. Holly's other job hosting Bear Hunt with Bear Grylls also won't be happening again as that's been axed as well. She has also chosen to leave You Bet! which means Stephen Mulhern will be hosting the show alone. It has been reported that Holly's husband Dan Baldwin is working on a reboot of Record Breakers which means Holly could be in with a chance of a presenting job. The Sun reported that a source said it would make "perfect sense" for Holly to be up for the role. They said: "Record Breakers is likely to be a prime time hit and it would make perfect sense for Holly to take the reins. She has worked alongside Dan before and the pair know what it takes to make great telly." Holly has also been in amongst a few names that could be hosting the reboot of Cilla Black's Blind Date. Other celebs that could be up include Claudia Winkleman and Davina McCall. Another show Holly is being looked at for is a new Channel 4 programme where new undiscovered singers are found. Holly first returned back to TV last year after taking an 18 month break. It has also been reported that ITV are keen to keep Holly as she recently met with Katie Rawcliffe, director of entertainment and daytime about future opportunities. An insider revealed: "Holly always intended to lock in new presenting roles for ITV, which has been her home for so long. She didn't have anything confirmed earlier this year just due to the way the cards had fallen, but there are a string of exciting projects on the table and 2025 is looking good for Holly. "Holly is looking to the future and this week's meeting was a big part of that. It won't be a return to daytime programming but new entertainment formats." The meeting coincided with a documentary about Holly's kidnapping airing. Holly declined to participate in Channel 5's documentary, The Plot To Kill Holly Willoughby, which told the story of the plot by obsessed security guard Gavin Plumb to kidnap, rape and murder her. The traumatic experience is what led her to step down from her role on ITV1's This Morning and take a break from television altogether.

JoJo Siwa and Chris Hughes share sweet update as relationship intensifies
After JoJo, 22, admitted earlier this week that her relationship with Love Island star Chris Hughes, 32, was no longer "platonic", she has shared more of their time together on social media Singer JoJo Siwa has shared a series of clips of her time in London over the last week, as her relationship with Love Island star Chris Hughes has continued to intensify. The couple, who appeared to fall for each other on Celebrity Big Brother, while JoJo was in a relationship, have spent lots of quality time together as JoJo joined her former co-star in the UK. The Dance Moms reality star, 22, has documented her time in London on TikTok, with Chris, 32, featuring heavily in her videos. Her most recent upload was captioned: "What a week and What a camera roll. Mini vlog coming next." As well as her tour, she has been hosting her Afternoon Tea Party, which saw her fans join her on a double-decker bus as she made her way around London. Adorned with sweet treats and sandwiches from "afternoon tea specialists" Brigit's Bakery, the bus took JoJo and her fans through the capital as they chatted and laughed. Her video included clips of her and Chris, including him kissing her on the head, them both in hysterics over his comedy glasses and the pair enjoying walks through the park with a coffee. One clip showed her taking part in an interview on Capital radio, in which she admitted, after months of speculation, that she and Chris are an item. Speaking to Capital Buzz on June 2, JoJo said: "I'm sure it's no secret to people, I am in a lovely relationship with a sweet boy named Christopher Hughes." She has also been forced to hit back at claims that her relationship with Chris is a publicity stunt. JoJo told The Guardian at the start of the week: "It's not platonic anymore, and it's been a beautiful development, a beautiful connection, and I'm absolutely head over heels for him and he's the same way.' When asked about suggestions it's for PR, she added: "Clearly, you've never been around us. I won't ever speak for him, but for me personally, the happiness in my life just radiates off of me right now." She added: "Literally yesterday, I was massaging my cheeks; I've never been in pain from smiling so much.' This Morning's Ben Shephard also brought the topic up with reality star Chris Hughes, who was left blushing live on air on Tuesday (June 3) when he congratulated him on his romance with JoJo. Chris shared a now-deleted photo showing the couple cuddling in bed together. He kissed her on the head while she lay on his chest, with Chris captioning the post: "Sleeping beauty." Speaking live on This Morning, Ben asked Chris: "Can we just say, because obviously we're all talking about, congratulations on the relationship. "We're all very excited. Have we decided on whether it's Hughes-wa? What's the power couple name?" A grinning Chris replied: "They call it CoJo. That's the one they're all going for. Chris-JoJo, it works. It rolls off the tongue, doesn't it? Thanks guys, I appreciate it." Meanwhile, on the Rosebud podcast with Gyles Brandreth, JoJo gushed about what drew her to Chris, saying: "When he first walked in, he was the only person that I knew what they looked like before coming into the show. "I was 'Oh that's the Chris guy'. Initially the first thing that I took in about him was he was a good hugger. I liked his hug. That felt like a nice embrace. And he smelt good." And now JoJo admits she is thinking long-term about a life with Chris, even wanting to make it permanent with a tattoo to commemorate their story. She said: "I want Chris to last for a lifetime," adding: "The Chris tattoo, I said in Big Brother that I would get this bamboo stick... and I want to get two other tattoos from the Big Brother house of memories that I have from in there."
