Courtney Act Just Won Celebrity Big Brother and People Are Losing It
You heard right! After a dramatic public vote from the public, RuPaul's Drag Race alum Courtney Act has been crowned the winner of Celebrity Big Brother UK.
\u201cThe winner of #CBB 2018 is.... @courtneyact! Here's the moment @EmmaWillis broke the news (and the internet). #CBBFinal\u201d— Big Brother UK (@Big Brother UK) 1517611057

It hasn't been an easy climb to the top for Courtney. She's had to put up with a lot in the Big Brother house, including educating her housemates on trans issues and clashing with runner-up Ann Widdecombe on LGBT rights. Which is why her win tastes all the sweeter.
Fans on social media are ecstatic over the win:
\u201cYes yes yes! Love wins baby! \ud83c\udf08 @courtneyact \ud83d\ude4c\ud83c\udffb #CBBFinal #CBB @bbuk\u201d— Andrew Hayden-Smith (@Andrew Hayden-Smith) 1517611285

\u201cMaybe I'm being melodramatic but I can't express how much @courtneyact winning Big Brother means to me and so many of us. I am ecstatic. #CBB\u201d— D\u2728 (@D\u2728) 1517610968
\u201cTHIS is why visibility, open discussion, representation, challenging people & sticking to your beliefs are important. \n\nThank you British public!
