After 70 Days, thousands of rollies and diplomacy spiced up with the occasional withering zinger, our chef from Mold has left the House as your winner!

Luke A entered the Big Brother compound on launch night in an understated manner, keeping a low profile until the second day when he decided to let his fellow housemates in on his past, revealing he was born female. With that out of the way, he quickly became a viewer favourite, his down-to-earth and honest character proving to be a hit with the audience and most of the housemates alike.

Luke A's time in the House wasn't without its troublesome moments, mind you. His friendship with Adam and Lauren meant that he became a key member of The Outsider group, alienating him somewhat from the rest of the housemates - though he didn't seem fazed by the dip in popularity. Added to that, his rocky relationship with Luke S didn't help things.

Being a chef, he was frequently irritated when the other Luke took control of the shopping list, cooking duties and the kitchen in general. But not being a confrontational dude, he let it slide, taking his complaints to his Outsider pals instead. Apart from the infamous one on one with Becky, obviously. His relationship with the girl from Blackburn deteriorated further in his last week when the BMI comment he made under his breath was relayed back to Becky, causing all kinds of problems.

Caroline was another housemate Luke A complained about, with her back-stabbing infuriating him no end. The two made their peace eventually, though Caroline's parting gift of a week's shopping made up solely of heaps of chocolate and no precious tobacco did little to bolster that fragile truce.

Away from the negativity, Luke A's relationship with Adam and Lauren was central to his stay, with the threesome demonstrating genuine trust and loyalty as their time ticked by. Eventually Deana was welcomed into the Outsider fold, and during Lauren's last week in the House the four spent their evenings telling stories, cuddling, wrestling and joking with one another, long after The Insiders had gone to bed.

Luke A also had a mischievous side, coupled with a competitive streak when it came to tasks. Whenever a mission was announced, Luke A would go one of two ways - absolute victory or complete sabotage.

When it came to the Diary Room, Luke A gave great one-on-one with Big Brother. Showing genuine emotion the night Benedict left, his chats with BB always showed us a kindly, thoughtful and special guy, sensitive to the House dynamic but reserved enough to rise above individual rows.

Luke A has always said that he didn't come in to win the show, but that he just wanted acceptance. Well, he's certainly got that and much, much more. We salute you Private Anderson!
