Rachel pips Mikey to take BB crown
10:49pm Friday 5th September 2008
Rachel Rice has won the ninth series of Big Brother, walking away with the £100,000 prize.
The 24-year-old trainee teacher from Torfaen in Wales beat Mikey Hughes to win the title.
The result had been too close to call all night, with the bookies favourite regularly changing.
When her name was announced she said: "Oh my god, no way" and then hugged Mikey and told him: "I love you so much."
Rachel then guided Mikey to the Big Brother door and told him to be careful of the steps.
She won the reality show with 51.3% of the public vote.
