Charlotte Crosby won this year’s Celebrity Big Brother – but fans of the show where not happy after her success was revealed on twitter 30 minutes BEFORE the official announcement.
During the break between the first and second half of the Live Final last night, the front page of the Daily Star was shared on Twitter, which read: “Charlotte wins Celebrity Big Brother.”
A BBC journalist and Sky News shared the front page via their Twitter account, which was met by confused and angry replies from fans of the show.
One Twitter user said, “It’s pre-recorded wtaf #CBB”
Another stormed: “How do the papers know Charlotte wins cbb? It’s not on for 30 min!??
A spokesperson from Celebrity Big Brother said: “While the first part of the live final was recorded live, the second half was pre-recorded because of the weather and because of programme scheduling.’
The first episode of Celebrity Super Spa aired at 10pm, directly after the first part of the the CBB Final. During the hour break, the channel recorded Charlotte’s win and exit from the house as well as the following interviews of the Geordie Shore star and runner-up Abz Love with host Emma Willis.
This was then ready to air at 11pm, but an apparent miscommunication between Channel 5 and The Daily Star led to the winner being revealed half an hour before it was meant to be aired.
As the result was “announced” 23-year-old Geordie Shore star Charlotte sobbed as host Emma Willis revealed she had won ahead of 5ive singer Abz Love.
One-time favourite to win Lauren Harries came third, emerging to both boos and cheers from the live audience.
