If cheers translated into votes then Hughie Maughan would be sure to win Big Brother 2016.

The Irishman earned the loudest whoops from the crowd at Elstree Studios as Emma Willis announced the final six housemates who will be whittled down to just one winner in tonight’s show.

Hughie, Andy West, Evelyn Ellis, Jackson Blyton, Jason Burrill and Jayne Connery will face the public vote to see who walks away with the £70,000 prize pot.

While Evelyn and Jason were met with boos, Hughie got the crowd’s seal of approval – and it was echoed by those watching at home.

The other contestants came back to watch the final and there was only one questions on everyone’s mind.
