The voting figures of Celebrity Big Brother have been revealed, with the numbers disclosing that Jack P Shepherd narrowly clinched the winning title. The Corrie star was closely followed by runner up, Danny Beard, in second place. Coronation Street favourite Jack, famed for his role as David Platt on the cobbles, was named as the 2025 winner in Friday night's final, April 25. The 37-year-old was left stunned at the news, and congratulated by runner-up RuPaul's Drag Race star Danny Beard. Danny, who won series four of RuPaul, appeared delighted for his housemate . Jack told presenters AJ Odudu and Will Best of his win: "I can't believe it, I am blown away, I didn't expect it tonight. "I mean, what is there? Six in the final ? I thought I was a shoe-in for maybe fifth, honestly, and then as people were just disappearing, I thought, surely not. "When JoJo (Siwa) went my head fell off. I had her nailed down (as the winner). JoJo went and then it was me and Dan in the final." Confirming the vote count on Celebrity Big Brother's spin-off show Late and Live, it was revealed that Jack won with 37% of the vote, however Danny was hot on his tail. The Corrie star won at 37.37% of the vote, with Danny not far behind with 35.72%. Elsewhere, 13.17% of the vote went to third place star JoJo Siwa while Donna Preston finished on 8.18%, Chesney Hawkes on 3.04% and Chris Hughes on 2.52%. Sharing the news on social media, Celebrity Big Brother announced: "VOTE RESULTS. Here are the voting percentages for the Finalists of Celebrity Big Brother 2025." Fans were quick to chime in with their thoughts on social media. One person said: "Surely this is the closest final EVER! Such a brilliant series." Someone else commented: "Wow it was EXTREMELY close." Another fan shared: "What the heck? How did jojo not get more." Another posted: "Quite shocked to see the jump between JoJo and Danny! I did vote for Jack myself though so it's nice to see many others did too." Someone else added: "Damn it, so close!! That shows how much loved our Danny is!" Meanwhile, during the live final, fans were convinced that Jojo Siwa had a 'hidden message' behind her outfit. Despite being tipped to win, the 21-year-old singer finished up in third place on the show, which came as a surprise to many fans. JoJo donned leather-look shorts for the grand final, teamed with a puff-sleeve jacket featuring blue and yellow on one sleeve, and red and green on the other. She completed her outfit with a rainbow eye band created with makeup and surrounded by sparkling diamantes. Not only was it an impressive ensemble, but eagle-eyed fans have been speculating that there was more to the outfit than they first thought. Many viewers believed the blue and yellow sleeve resembled the Ukraine flag, while the red and green was a nod to the flag of Palestine, with both places currently experiencing ongoing conflict. Meanwhile, her makeup is thought to be a tribute to the LGBTQ+ community, as the star has often incorporated the rainbow flag into her outfits. One fan took to Twitter to share their observation, writing: "Imagine if yous actually voted JoJo to win. Her whole outfit and makeup would have been even more iconic." They explained: "One sleeve representing Ukraine and the other representing Palestine, while her make-up represents the LGBTQ+ community. All on live TV. Iconic." The post quickly garnered a flurry of responses from ITV viewers, with one enthusiast praising the political fashion statement as an "iconic move." The fan added: "The more I saw her jacket the more it got me thinking. Iconic move actually especially on live TV too." Another social media user chimed in: "Fair play, I didn't notice any of that." Somebody else branded the ensemble as "a really powerful outfit." Join the Daily Record's WhatsApp community here and get the latest news sent straight to your messages.
