What does ITV Celebrity Big Brother WINNER get? Huge prize pot as SHOCK new favourite REVEALED
The 2024 Celebrity Big Brother live final is now just hours away – with the climax of the season airing on Friday night.
A final five stars stood to win the crown of the series as Louis Walsh, Fern Britton, David Potts, Nikita Kuzmin and Bradley Riches made it through as finalists. However, one of the five is due to be axed from the house on Wednesday night – meaning they will just miss out on making it as a true finalist.
A host of twelve celebs entered the house when the shock kicked off at the beginning of March – but only one star will be voted the winner by the viewing public. But some fans might well be wondering exactly what the winning star will win if crowned king or queen of the Celebrity Big Brother house.
Reports in recent weeks have claimed that some CBB contestants have already been paid huge amounts of money – just for taking part in the show. But viewers might question how much more they will receive as a winners tip if crowned champion. Read on to find out more.

What does the winner of Celebrity Big Brother 2024 win?
Viewers could argue that the Celebrity Big Brother contestants have each already won just by taking part in the show – as they were all paid to take part. While some have seen their careers receive an astronomical boost after being beamed into living rooms around the UK every night during the prime time slot of 9pm on ITV1.
But the winner of the show will actually win – nothing at all. There is no cash prize to those who win the show and instead they win just bragging rights to know they are officially the favourite of the viewing public. In past seasons of Celebrity Big Brother, the winner would win a cash prize that would be donated ton charity – but this kindly feature was removed in 2018 for the final seasons of the iteration of the show that aired on Channel 5.
TV fans could argue that the 2024 contestants have already won – as some have landed huge fees to take part in the show. A report suggested Love Island’s Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu, 29, could have earned as much as £33,000 during her time in the house. While Sharon Osbourne, 71 – who featured as a Celebrity Houseguest and remained in the house for a limited nine days – reportedly earned £100,000 per day to star on the show.

Who is favourite to win Celebrity Big Brother 2024?
As ITV’s Celebrity Big Brother entered the final week of the show, 71-year-old former X Factor judge Louis Walsh emerged as the shock bookies favourite to win the show. Coral’s John Hill said on Wednesday: “Louis Walsh is now the odds-on favourite to win Friday’s Celebrity Big Brother final. Earlier in this series, it did not look like Louis would last a week in the house, but he could be set to be the last one standing.”
The odds for the remaining contestants to win stand at 8-13 Louis Walsh, 9-4 David Potts, 7-1 Nikita Kuzmin,14-1 Fern Britton, 20-1 Colson Smith, 33-1 Bradley Riches. Louis has, if nothing else, been entertainment for viewers during his time in the house.
He has brought drama by clashing with fellow contestants – and made headlines by giving scathing opinions about fellow celebrities while on camera. He has lashed out at Jedward, Sir Bob Geldof, Ronan Keating, James Corden, Anna Wintour and many more while in the famous house.
