Of course Derek had to have the last word, and decided to give a moving speech to Housemates before hitting the road.
Gathered on the sofa, the Housemates listened to Derek's words in somewhat rapt silence. Here's that speech in full...
"These are the last official words I shall speak," he began. "I've come a long way, I came here not to win anything, but to do something for me, something that I haven't ever done before.
"To discover more about myself and other people. I've been very, very lucky in my life to have had a good and honourable start in life and some fantastic jobs, but this memory will be with me for a very long time and will hopefully shape my destiny."
Derek had this final thought for the Housemates. "In this room there is a winner and I wish you all the very best of luck," he finished.
Everyone clapped politely, then it was straight back to the small talk as Derek's final minutes ticked away.
