In the end, a classic TV star and a reality star faced each other: The finale of the TV show “Celebrity Big Brother” remained exciting until the last decision.
Reality star Leyla Lahouar (“The Bachelor”) won the television show “Celebrity Big Brother” this year. The audience voted the 28-year-old the winner on Tuesday night. “That can’t be true. I can’t believe it,” was Lahouar’s first reaction to her triumph in the live broadcast.
The woman from Frankfurt prevailed in the final against former RTL television commissioner “Balko” Jochen Horst (63) and took home 100,000 euros. The 28-year-old cheered: “I’ve never won anything before.” The Big Brother voice then immediately corrected her off camera: “Except for Mike.” Reality star Mike Heiter (32) proposed to her in front of the TV cameras this season, which she said yes to.
“Gladly lost against Leyla”
Jochen Horst showed himself to be a good loser in the reality format: he did feel a bit disappointed. “But I liked losing to Leyla.” The actor said he did not expect this level of support from the fans.
“I walk with my head held high”
Mike Heiter was the first finalist to be eliminated, which shattered the dream of a potential couple’s victory. “Big Brother” legend Alida Kurras, who won the second season of “Big Brother” in 2000, followed him and took fourth place: “It was really harder than the first time.” “Berlin – Day & Night” actor Matze Höhn secured third place. He is proud: “I can walk out of here with my head held high.”
In the 2024 season, 14 participants stayed in a container in Cologne for two weeks. These also included footballer Max Kruse, actress Mimi Fiedler, web video producer Sarah Wagner, reality star Elena Miras, singer Daniel Lopes, reality TV participant Cecilia Asoro, Tiktoker Sinan Movez, reporter Bea Peters and television presenter Verena Kerth.
