Ulrika Jonsson insisted her Celebrity Big Brother win was a “fix” after she was crowned the champion of the 2009 series.
Winning the series six final, the 52-year-old star trumped her three fellow celeb finalists – broadcaster Terry Christian, rapper Coolio and late actor Verne Troyer.
Leaving the house, she turned to host Davina McCall and announced: “Oh my God, That’s just bonkers. It’s a fix.”
The former GMTV weather girl had been nominated for eviction every week but won the show with 57% of the vote.
Ulrika’s win came as a huge surprise, with Brit bookies originally predicting actor Verne would nab the coveted title of CBB champion.

On top of that, just five of Ulrika’s fellow housemates appeared at her wrap party in London’s Sway nightclub, despite 11 stars taking part in the show.
The former Gladiators star, who has described CBB as the “weirdest experience” of her life, was a major hit with viewers on the show.
However, Ulrika admitted her fellow housemates struggled to accept her “bossy” attitude.

In her exit interview with Davina, she said: “I agonised over whether or not to come on.
“My husband said you can’t bear being around people, it will be a challenge for you.
“My husband says I’m bossy all the time. I am. In my defence, I have to organise four children so things have to be like that.”

She added: “I don’t regret going in at all. It was just an amazing experience to have, weird, but amazing.”
The blonde bombshell also revealed that her highlight was singing a duet with US actor Verne, saying: “He is such a perfectionist and he was so determined to get it right, and I realised that clearly we weren’t going to get it completely right.”
Reliving the scenes on last night’s Big Brother: Best Shows Ever, viewers were in tears watching the heartfelt duet, realising two years have passed since Verne’s death.
