The housemate finishing in second place of Big Brother 2005 is Eugene.
Eugene found that he had come second when Davina announced that Anthony had won, and was left just sitting on the sofa for well over a minute as Anthony jumped around the lounge area look a loon shouting and celebrating.
However eventually Davina announced that Eugene had 30 seconds to leave the house, at which point he said goodbye and good luck to Anthony and walked through the house to the crowd outside.
And a massive cheer was what waited for him, as he walked through the door, and as he walked along the raised platform towards the stage, looking at the banners which were being held up by fans who were supporting him.
The interview
Davina told Eugene that he had to talk in to the microphone, which of course he knew, and cleverly she said "Eugenius!"...
Within a few seconds Eugene's voice had started to crack and he became very emotional - clearly the fact that he was out of the house and in front of so many cheering viewers was quite an amazing feat for him.
