Why would it be a fix ti win, she wanted to go at the first eviction and would still have got piad the most
Celebrity Big Brother producers were pleased with Ulrika Jonsson's shock victory on Friday night, a report claims.
The TV host triumphed over Terry Christian in the final vote, while long-time bookies' favourite Verne Troyer finished in fourth position.
As the result was announced by host Davina McCall, Jonsson exclaimed: "Oh my God, that's just bonkers! It's a fix."
A show insider told The People: "It is good to get a shock every so often. The last series of Big Brother was incredibly predictable, as it was the previous summer. It's quite nice when you end up with a result which takes some people unawares."
The source added: "The bookies definitely got it wrong this time but maybe they were too hasty in going all out for Verne. After all, Ulrika survived the public vote again and again so there was always a core of support there for her."
La Toya Jackson is offering fans meet-and-greets for a daily rate of £55,000.
The singer and model has stayed in Britain following her eviction from Celebrity Big Brother last week.
The star, 52, is reportedly insisting that promoters pay £4,000 per night for her suite at the Dorchester Hotel and any travel costs.
Former A1 singer Ben Adams, who made the show's final, is charging just £3,000 for his meet-and-greet sessions.
:eek: I would rather not meet her at this price, thank you very much
Ulrika Jonsson’s shock Big Brother victory has sparked a fans’ revolt which looks like killing off the show.
Diehard fans are planning on boycotting any future series because they reckon the result was rigged.
Ulrika, 41, left the nation stunned as she took the crown on Friday night.
She was a big outsider behind favourite Verne Troyer, 40, who left the house in fourth place.
Even Ulrika herself believed the result had been tampered with. On hearing the news she said: “No way, it’s a fix.”
And the show’s army of fans agree. They have lashed out at the result because Ulrika was never one of the favourites from the moment the show started three weeks ago.
Our phones rang off the hook and hundreds of readers sent in texts and emails about the “fix” as soon as Ulrika won. And one online forum, with 120,000 members, saw her poll just 10%.
One user said: “The whole show is a joke now. Next year we should all boycott it and then it will finally get the axe.
“Ulrika winning the show is just plain impossible. I can only think the result was hijacked by a betting syndicate.”
Fans fear that so few people are voting that it is easy for big-time gamblers to rig the vote.
And they reckon bosses at the Channel 4 show can edit their footage to make anyone a star.
This year they axed the 24-hour live streaming, which meant the public only got to see the footage telly chiefs wanted them to see.
Everything else was left on the cutting room floor.
It meant that they could make any of the celebrities look good and deliberately make others look boring.
The show’s launch night was watched by 6.4million but just half that figure watched Friday’s final.
While fans were shocked, TV insiders say they only have themselves to blame.
One said: “It’s not rocket science. Vote or don’t moan if your favourite misses out.”
A Big Brother spokesman declined to comment last night.
I bet the people didnt even vote who are complaining, of they didnt its there problem and they should shut up
WARRING Celebrity Big Brother housemates turned the end-of-series party into a terrifying shambles.
Only six of the 11 contestants showed up amid fears the bitter rows in the house would spill over into the bash.
Liberty X babe Michelle Heaton, 28, was too scared to go after a bitter confrontation with gobby Scouser Tina Malone on the final night.
Four others also stayed away, refusing to celebrate Ulrika Johnsson’s triumph after the blonde Swede had been unpopular with housemates throughout their three-week stay in the house.
Even Celebrity Big Brother telly host Davina McCall, 41, did not attend.
Michelle, 28, was desperate to avoid Tina Malone, 45, who reduced her to tears with a verbal attack moments after the final.
Tina told viewers of Big Brother’s Big Mouth: “I may be fat, but I can lose weight. Michelle will always be thick.”
When Michelle asked for an apology, the Shameless star told her to “******* off”.
One insider said: “Michelle has not forgiven Tina for the way she was spoken to and Tina is not the sort of person to say sorry. It’s probably best they are kept apart.”
Sexy Michelle was also avoiding sex bully Coolio, 45.
Terry Christian, 45, and pal Tommy Sheridan, 44, who bitched about Ulrika in the house, snubbed the party in London on Monday night.
Despite staying in the capital to flog his story for a six-figure sum, Hollywood actor Verne Troyer, 40, failed to show, as did La Toya Jackson, 52.
A show insider said: “It was the worst turnout we have ever had for a BB party. Usually it’s a time to let your hair down but clearly many people still have unresolved issues.”
But Ulrika, 41, was all smiles as she arrived with husband Brian Monet.
Former Sugababe Mutya Buena, 23, turned up in a red minidress while Daily Star babe Lucy Pinder, 25, opted for a sexy black number.
Coolio, Tina and A1 hunk Ben Adams, 27, all attended the do.
Yesterday, it was revealed that Scottish politician Tommy is to face trial on perjury charges in connection with a newspaper defamation case.
What a bunch of petty sods. I wouldn't have backed Ulrika to win but she did so good luck to her. If so-called celebs what to be childish and snub a free party let them.
This year's Celebrity Big Brother, which saw rapper Coolio the focus of many complaints, did not breach broadcasting rules, Ofcom has found.
The regulator received 527 complaints about the show, eventually won by Ulrika Jonsson, the majority relating to viewers feeling that housemates had been bullied.
This year's show, broadcast in January, saw complaints about the manner in which Coolio behaved towards women in the house, including former Liberty X singer Michelle Heaton.
The regulator said: "It appeared clear to viewers that Coolio enjoyed baiting and teasing female housemates. However, when Coolio teased Michelle for allegedly having feelings for another housemate (Ben Adams) she became very upset.
"Sensing he had hit a nerve, Coolio continued to tease her about it."
Ofcom said that Big Brother talked to Michelle and Coolio separately in the Diary Room and Michelle appeared comforted.
Coolio appeared genuinely disconcerted when told that some of his behaviour could be seen as intimidating, the regulator found.
The pair apologised to each other and the feud was settled.
Ofcom said: "In Ofcom's view Coolio was a 'larger than life' character in the house, playing the role for many viewers of the 'villain of the piece' where such a role, after 10 years of Big Brother, is generally expected by the audience."
Channel 4 welcomed the ruling about this year's show, saying in a statement: "Conflicts can arise within the Big Brother House, but both the producers and commissioning editors encourage housemates to work differences out amongst themselves initially."
