After finishing second, Michael left the house to the crowd chanting his name and spoke to Davina about straight-talking and being a blind housemate.
The highlights of Mikey's interview:
On coming second: "Congratulations to Rachel for being the winner of Big Brother! I always said from day one, the girl was not a fraud. She thought I'd win tonight, but I'm glad she did."
On Rachel: "She seemed to be nice, genuine and treated me well. Even though she stayed on the fence, that's just Rachel."
On his straight-talking in the house: "Ask anyone at work - I don't know how many warnings I've been on! I stood up to all the bullies. I always spoke my mind. I wasn't here to annoy any friends in the house, but I wasn't here to make friends either. I'm glad I made a friend like Rachel but it wasn't going to get in the way of me standing up to people."
On Rex: "My opinion of him has changed over the last week, but he spoiled last night by moaning he was bored and wanting more alcohol. I would have preferred Rex not to be in the final week, but I take my hat off to him."
On being a blind housemate: "Obviously in the outside world people treat people with blindness differently, and it's no exception in the house. Some have taken to it and some were scared. I lost my sight ten years ago, and my confidence has built up. Now, if anyone gave negative attitudes I can stand up and say: 'No.'"
