Big Brother comic talks of sex claims
COMIC JIM Davidson won Celebrity Big Brother last night and hit back at sex claims against him, saying: “Truth will conquer all.”
The comedian, who described his victory as “overwhelming”, said he should have been in the last series of the show but was unable to do so after being arrested on suspicion of historical sexual offences.
He was told last year that he would face no further action in the UK.
In an interview with host Emma Willis, he said: “I should have gone in last year but I was unavoidably detained.”
Speaking of the accusations made against him, Davidson said: “I’m slightly damaged because of that.
“Truth will conquer all.”
Davidson was hotly tipped to win, with William Hill making him the 2-9 favourite to come out victorious.
He beat former N-Dubz singer Dappy into second place.
Dappy, whose real name is Costadinos Contostavlos, had his former bandmate and cousin Tulisa in the crowd and called Davidson “dad” in his interview with Willis.
He said: “Not in a million years did I think I’d come second.”
When asked about his friendship with TheA pprentice star Luisa Zissman, he said she was a “beautiful girl”, adding: “I mean, look at her, she’s a stunner.”
Former Made In Chelsea star Ollie Locke finished third and said: “I literally have had the most bizarre experience of my entire life.”
