The dust has settled after a long summer of drama, with Jason Burrill becoming Big Brother 2016 champion.

Jason was crowned winner over Hughie Maughan by Big Brother presenter Emma Willis thanks to the narrowest of margins during a live finale on Tuesday (July 26).

Evelyn Ellis, Jayne Connery, Andy West and Jackson Blyton were all eliminated earlier in the night - just a day after Sam Giffen and Alex Cannon were evicted in one last Big Brother twist for the series.
