Musical theatre star Darren Day told Celebrity Big Brother presenter Emma Willis he was “over the moon” to finish in third place.

He said he was no different in the Elstree house than he is in real life.

The West End performer, often labelled a “love rat” by the press because of his 2003 affair with Hear’Say singer Suzanne Shaw, is now happily married to wife Stephanie Dooley after cleaning up his life.

Darren opened up about his past addictions to alcohol and cocaine, but generally kept a low profile in the house.

And it seems many were gutted to see the actor not being crowned the victor in the final episode.
