She went in a loose woman and will be leaving as a bit of a Celebrity Big Brother legend.

Known for her outspoken and outlandish ways and not one to shy away from the public eye, Denise was one of the housemates that entered with the public having certain expectations of what type of housemate she would make - and she certainly didn't disappoint…

Denise's volatile relationship with Michael played a big role in her (and his) time in the House – they were on and off throughout their whole time in the House with consistent bust ups and make ups. It came to a head when Michael had a few harsh words to say about Denise during surprise live nominations. The two since made up, broke up, and made up again. In fact their current status is largely undefined, but a rumour that did infiltrate inside the House, was that Denise held a small flame for Michael – feelings that were not reciprocated.  He often told her to leave him alone, and found her too much to handle at times.

This however, was far from all Denise had to offer as she took on the role of 'mum' to Kirk and Frankie, the younger lads in the House. The boys would often go to Denise for reassurance and cuddles, as well as the opposite way round. Coincidentally, Kirk and Frankie did feature in one of Denise's key moments of the show – naked hot tub saga on Frankie's birthday. Everyone in the House had been drinking and celebrating, and the evening ended up with Denise stripping down to her pants and jumping in the Jacuzzi with Kirk and Frankie (who of course thought it was brilliant). The other women in the House came to her rescue, persuading Denise to put a top on and go to bed. This was perhaps the Denise that most were awaiting to emerge, and it certainly created a buzz in the House, and in the outside world.

A friendship that the Corrie star was quick to form was with Eastenders' star Natalie Cassidy, and the two bonded over their love of chatting, cooking and down to earth outlook. The moment that initially brought them together was a secret task set by Big Brother whereby the voices of Jedward directed the two of them to collect certain items from the House without the others knowing about it. It made for hilarious viewing, and set Denise in good speed with the public and her other housemates. You can't say she wasn't a team player.

What arguably claimed the title of Denise's key moment in the House was her spat with Nicola and the twins. That fateful night was not only central to her time in the House, but for the whole series in general.  It's safe to say she had a passion for flashin'! Relationships were however amended in the following days and she leaves on good terms with the others.

It was an emotional  journey for Denise in the Big Brother House with her experiencing many highs, many lows, and most important of all – the night of her life sharing a single bed with Romeo. Not a moment she'll be forgetting any time soon we suspect.

All in all, Denise Welch made for an epic Celebrity Big Brother housemate, and undoubtedly created some of the highlights of this series. She is your winner!

Frankie Cocozza is your runner up for Celebrity Big Brother 2012 and here are his top moments from the House.

Frankie has finished in second place…. 

Our youngest Celebrity of this series, Frankie Cocozza will be the sixth housemate to leave the Big Brother House. His celebrity status may have been questioned by some, but the 19 year old more than filled his shoes during his time on the show.

Those who presumed his media personality (cocky nature and arrogance) would stilt his success were proved wrong as we saw a more laid back character emerge. He was in awe of the likes of Gareth and Michael, saw Denise as a mother figure, but most notable of all he struck up a bond with Essex boy and Towie star, Kirk Norcross.

The two became an inseparable pair, and an unstoppable ladies duo. They tried their luck with the twins and Georgia, but with complete comedic failure. They loved to sing, Jacuzzi, play fight, and of course laugh. They even developed conjoined names on the outside world - Kankie, Kirkocozza and Kinky to name a few. When Kirk was shockingly evicted from the House, Frankie missed his wing-man terribly and he was noticeably quieter. It will be an interesting friendship to follow outside of the House.

It wasn't all rainbows and lucky charms though, the young rocker's potty mouth did get him in trouble and even got him nominated by fellow housemate Romeo who said he found Frankie's rude remarks about women unsettling. Some of the things that came out of his mouth shocked many, but he never failed to make his peers laugh (even if it was because he was being sick into a plant pot). He was the brunt of many a joke or prank, and sometimes took it with a sulk, but it all added to his bizarre charm.

Frankie entered at 18 with few positive notions to his name, and will leave at 19 with the public having a better understanding of the person behind the tabloid headline.  Frankie really proved that he is indeed a stand out guy when he came to Denise's defence during that infamous outburst with the twins and Nicola. He did himself proud and we can only imagine he will be leaving with more fans then he went in with, and definitely a new group of friends. 

Leave your comments for Frankie and the best will be read out on Big Brother's Bit on the Side.

Gareth has finished in third  place….

Gareth seemed something of an unknown quantity when he first he entered the House. The hugely recognisable rugby star's sometimes quiet nature made him hard to work out for some, although he soon immersed himself in Big Brother life, quickly becoming something of a father figure to our housemates. Gareth's been a confidant to many housemates as they've been through the (pardon the cliché) emotional rollercoaster of Big Brother life. He has never been scared to voice his opinion when he needed to. His character has brought him closer to Denise and Nicola in particular, although he's arguably had favourable relationships with all of the housemates during his stay.

The rugby star's 'father' status within the House has meant that he's not experienced much drama in his time, preferring instead to be a mediator in tough times. He kept a level head even through the 'trouser-gate' situation, which saw many other housemates loose themselves in the argument. He made it very clear at an early stage of the argument that he was not going to take sides. He may have appeared fairly quiet as a result, and might not have gained him a sense of notoriety with the public: this might have been the reason why he was voted out tonight. On the other hand, though, Gareth undoubtedly gained new friends within the House, and he surely won't be upset at this fact.

Overall, Gareth was a housemate who enjoyed huge popularity within the House, even though he wasn't eventually revealed as the public's favourite. The star has proved a lot about his character during his Big Brother experience, and he left the House with his head held high. Congratulations, Gareth!
