Nadia wins Big Brother

Portuguese transsexual bank clerk Nadia Almada, 27, of Surrey, tonight won reality TV show Big Brother and claimed the £63,500 (€95,195) prize.

With her squawking voice and grating laugh, she seemed unlikely to endear herself to the British public, but became the 50/1 on favourite for victory.

With an exuberant character, she survived four evictions and won the nation over.

Throughout her time in the house, Nadia kept secret the fact she was born a man from her fellow housemates.

As the result was announced, Nadia screamed and began to shake, exalting, ``Oh my god !''.

Runner-up Jason grabbed her in an embrace and told her: “You’ve won it, you all right man ?”

The Portuguese, trembling and bewildered, repeated: “Oh my god”.

“I’ll see you for a beer after,” offered Jason as he left the Big Brother house to a chorus of both cheers and boos.

As he spoke to host Davina he said: “I expected to get the boos.”

Asked by Davina why he disliked Nadia so much, the Scot replied: “Nadia was like, all right, I sort of sucked chocolate of her breast, but that laugh was ridiculous.”
