Vinnie Jones has finished in third place on this year’s Celebrity Big Brother. Vinnie was voted in 3rd place with 20.2% of the public vote.
After watching Stephanie Beacham and Jonas Altberg being evicted from the house, Vinnie didn’t look best pleased at winning only the bronze medal.

This morning The Tree of Temptation selected its next celebrity victim. Whilst in the Garden, the cheeky Tree caught Vinnie’s attention in its familiar way and set the famous footballer a task that would put his hard-man image on the line.
The Tree’s demands were that he had to take Alex aside, on his own, and tell him that he has secretly cross-dressed in the past… and that he absolutely loved it. Then, during lunch, Vinnie had to come over all emotional, by gathering all the Housemates together and tell them how much all the Big Brother experience had deeply moved him, and how his new mates in here meant more than the ones he’s had for years.
