Edith Bowman wins Celebrity Fame Academy

Radio 1 DJ Edith Bowman won the latest Celebrity Fame Academy, beating EastEnders actress Kim Medcalf, with the show raising £1.3 million for Comic Relief.

It turns out my Mum has been hooked by the latest series of

Celeb Fame Academy, which means we could have provided decent coverage of it if we'd wanted to (as previously mentioned, personally

I can't watch anything featuring either Patrick Kielty or **Edith

Bowman**, and this had both of them).

Anyway, my Mum tells me that she missed the first bit of Friday night's proceedings, and by the time she tuned in all the men were out of the competition as the aforementioned Bowman competed with

EastEnders actress Kim Medcalf for the overall prize. In the end it was Bowman and her rendition of sang Oasis' 'Champagne

Supernova' that got the most viewer votes.

The

Radio 1 DJ told the show: "I'm utterly gobsmacked. I didn't expect to win. I never came into here wanting to win or expecting to win. I came in here to do my bit for Comic Relief and enjoy the experience as well, which I was quite skeptical about when

I first went in."

The show, of course, was part of BBC 1's Red Nose Day programming and all those phone votes helped to contribute £1.3 million into the pot. So well done everyone.
