Jordan was crowned the winner of Big Brother 2023 in Friday night’s highly anticipated grand finale.
The dramatic series finally came to an end on Friday on ITV when Jordan took home the life-changing cash prize of £100,000.
Presenters AJ Odudu and Will Best confirmed he had won the series and Jordan immediately joked that he would use the hefty cash prize to pay his council tax.
Although many fans were thrilled when Jordan was crowned winner, some argued that fan favorite Yinrun was “robbed” of the win with her fourth-place finish.
Even though Yinrun had already been evicted, the live audience could still be heard chanting her name as Jordan was crowned the winner.
