Winner of Big Brother VIP crowned

Warning! Spoilers ahead.

After weeks of living in seclusion with a host fo other housemates, the winner of Big Brother VIP has finally been announced. 

Out of the 12 housemates that first checked into Big Brother's Hotel, the final three came down to Australian Survivor contestant Luke Toki, actress and model Ellie Gonsalves, and model Josh Carroll. 

Before the winner was crowned, Big Brother put the final three through one last challenge.

The contestants had to get their hands dirty by digging deep into a giant sand pit for the chance to win $10,000 for their chosen charity. 

Luke won the final challenge, with the money going to the Perth Children's Hospital Foundation. 

“I’m so happy because even if I don’t win this thing it means they get something,” he told Big Brother after winning the challenge.

“Ten grand is just a piece - but I want the whole cake!”

Then, later in the show, host Sonia Kruger crowned Luke as the winner, as fans around the country voted to Luke to win. 

“I get to go home and tell the kids Dad won,” he told Kruger.

“I finally have done it, I have won something and thank you to everyone that supported me."

With his win, Luke was awarded $100,000 to his charity, which aims to improve treatment outcomes for kids, including those children living with Cystic Fibrosis - a cause dear to his heart as his daughter, Maddie, suffers from the condition. 

Luke celebrated his win on Instagram, thanking everyone that voted for him. 

"For once in my life, I am speechless", he wrote.
