IT consultant Kate Lawler has been voted the winner of Big Brother 3 - the first woman to win in the British version of the reality TV show.
As presenter Davina McCall announced the winner, the 22-year-old gasped and hugged her fellow final housemate Jonny Regan before they danced together and fell on the floor.
She also beat Jade Goody and Alex Sibley, who were evicted earlier on Friday, to claim the show's £70,000 sterling prize after 64 days in the house.
The show's viewers voted for their favourite - who had become popular with viewers with her down-to-earth sense of humour - by telephone, text message and through interactive TV.
