Shepherd was crowned winner ahead of fellow finalists:
Danny Beard (Runner-up)
JoJo Siwa (Third)
Donna Preston (Fourth)
Chesney Hawkes (Fifth)
Chris Hughes (Sixth)
The 37-year-old actor, who plays David Platt in the ITV soap, told Celebrity Big Brother presenters AJ Odudu and Will Best he was "blown away" by the win and that he "didn't expect it".
Jack added: "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.'
Danny, after being named Celebrity Big Brother 2025 runner-up, revealed he'd had "the best time" in the house.

He said: "I've had the best time every single day. I've made friends that I know I'm going to have for life.
'And I love this show, so I'll not sleeping tonight guys, I'm going home, and I'm going to stream every single episode."
JoJo and Chris' friendship has been one of the big talking points to come from the 2025 Celebrity Big Brother series.
The pair were both quizzed about it upon their departure from the Big Brother house on Friday night.

Hughes, who was the first evicted during Friday's final, broke down in tears while speaking about his friendship with JoJo.
The former Love Island star and ITV racing presenter said: "JoJo was like a pure rock to me.
"She was someone I can have fun with, and I had fun with her every day, and it was just like, that is to me, it's like a beautiful friend.
"She to me last night, 'you're someone in my life I didn't know that I needed, or was once missing'.
"She reminded me a lot of this, sorry I might get emotional now, but the thing that fascinated me most about her is not the stuff that she's done, because I was still finding out stuff she'd done even yesterday, it was what she's come through, and what she's been through when she was a teenager.
"And that's similar to what my ex-girlfriend went through, so kind of seeing how they are both similarly as people, I mean in the respect that she's come through a lot, and she is purely a nice person, and I'm saying the similarities is in the personality.

"She's so close that I don't mind admitting that. I love my boyfriends, like I love Ches (Hawkes), but in a different way, when I love people, whether it's platonic or not.'
When asked by AJ about the pair sharing a bed, he commented: "We were just messing around, we were being kids."
JoJo, upon her departure from the house, added: "We absolutely love and adore him, he is in my life for forever now.
"I'm so incredibly grateful for him, he has helped me have my hard times in this house, he's helped me get through them, but more importantly, he has helped me create my happiest times in this house.
"He is more than a friend, he is just such a special guy, I'm so lucky."

Why isn't Maura Higgins at the Love Island: A Decade of Love anniversary special? Star's absence explained
Love Island fans, tonight is the night. At 9pm this evening, a group of iconic villa alumni will reunite as part of the 10th anniversary celebrations, and we literally cannot wait. (Sidenote, how has it been a decade already? Feeling old.) Over on ITV2, former contestants are set to look back at some of the show's biggest - and most dramatic - moments, while sharing their own hot takes on the scenes. Hey, Maya Jama did ask for big twists and more drama on the new series, which is also set to air this month, so it looks like she'll be getting what she asked for a little earlier. Theatrics aside, exactly which ex Islanders can we expect to see this evening? And who is set to skip the big event? Because rumour has it, Maura Higgins, one of the show's biggest breakout stars, seems to have lost her invite. Which leads us to our next question... why? First things first, we're not confirming that Maura is going to be a no-show. For all we know, she may surprise us and turn up at the hottest event of the year. After all, she does have a history of arriving late: the 34-year-old rocked up to last year's I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here! a few days after everyone else, remember. The reason we're not sure if Maura is on the bill is that we've not seen her on the list of names expected to appear. Rather, the alumni we know are returning include Cara De La Hoyde-Massey and Nathan Massey, series seven champs Millie Court and Liam Reardon, series nine winners Kai Fagan and Sanam Harrinanan, and series eight finalists Indiyah Polack and Dami Hope. Also on the lineup are Gabby Allen, Montana Brown, Dani Dyer, Georgia Steel, Hannah Elizabeth, Whitney Adebayo, Anton Danyluk, and Catherine Agbaje. From her Instagram posts, we also know that Maura is currently soaking up the sun in Mykonos - a long way from the Majorcan villa. She's also not posted anything to the grid about the special, which could also be a hint. But if you want our advice, we suggest tuning in tonight to find out for yourself. We know we will. Love Island: A Decade of Love will air on ITV2 at 9pm tonight.

Chris Hughes shares cozy bedside selfie with JoJo Siwa amid rumored romance
Chris Hughes shares cozy bedside selfie with JoJo Siwa amid rumored romance Show Caption Hide Caption JoJo Siwa realizes she's not a lesbian after cozying up to Chris Hughes JoJo Siwa just got real on Celebrity Big Brother UK, revealing she identifies as queer and may relate more to being non-binary. All Time Entertainment Relationship status aside, JoJo Siwa and Chris Hughes are tighter than two peas in a pod. The pop singer and British TV personality, whose close relationship on "Celebrity Big Brother" has fueled media speculation of a romance, gave fans another window into their growing bond on June 1 in an intimate photo shared on Hughes' Snapchat story. The photo shows a shirtless Hughes, 32, lying in bed as a seemingly asleep Siwa, 22, nuzzles against his chest. Hughes can also be seen cradling Siwa's head and planting a kiss on her forehead. "Sleeepinnn beauty," the post reads. The affectionate selfie comes nearly two weeks after Siwa and Hughes drew buzz after sharing a series of tender photos of themselves spending time together after their controversial stint on the reality game show. 'Absolutely beautiful': JoJo Siwa, Chris Hughes post intimate photos together Reflecting on her birthday week, Siwa shared a set of photos on Instagram May 21 that included intimate shots with Hughes. "Absolutely beautiful, wouldn't change a single thing. A week I'll remember for the rest of my life." The previous day, Hughes gave a similar shoutout to Siwa in his own photo carousel, writing, "The previous 7 days have been the prettiest." Siwa's rumored romance with Hughes comes after the singer's ex Kath Ebbs criticized their breakup and accused the former child star of "emotional cheating" amid Siwa and Hughes' closeness in the "Big Brother" house. Ebbs said in a viral video in April that "everything we saw unfold on what I thought was a fake reality show, where I didn't need to worry about the validity of my relationship, was, in fact, laced in a lot of truth." JoJo Siwa addresses Kath Ebbs breakup, Chris Hughes relationship During a "This Morning" interview days after Ebbs' video, Siwa said the isolation of being on "Celebrity Big Brother" inspired her to take stock of issues in her life, including her romance with Ebbs. "I really realized things that I was OK with in my life that I should never have been OK with in the first place," she said. Siwa, who opened up about her evolving outlook on her sexuality on the British reality show, welcomed Pride Month in a heartfelt statement on her June 1 Instagram story. "Everyone's story is different, and everyone's journey is different. The most beautiful thing about love is that it's just love," she wrote.

Chris Hughes Posted And Deleted A Photo In Bed With JoJo Siwa, But Fans Have The Screenshot
If you were still trying to wrap your heads around the recent paparazzi pics of Chris Hughes and JoJo Siwa and the growing possibility of them as a couple, boy, do I have an update for you. Monica Schipper / WireImage, Samir Hussein / WireImage The two have become especially close since meeting in April on Celebrity Big Brother UK. Relationship rumors began to swirl due to their affectionate behavior on the show — and heightened when JoJo broke up with her partner Kath Ebbs at the show's wrap party after realizing she was actually queer. FWIW, JoJo denied that Chris had played a role in her breakup with Kath. Still, speculation has only continued as the two have continued to make appearances together. Last month, JoJo posted a number of cuddly photos with Chris for her "magical" 22nd birthday, and just last week, the Sun published paparazzi pics that they claim show the two kissing during a trip to Mexico. View this photo on Instagram Related: Celebrities Who Were Allegedly Horrible To Wait On At Restaurants, And Others Who Were Amazing If there were still questions about the nature of their relationship, Chris seemed to put them to rest today when he shared an intimate pic with JoJo on Instagram.
