Jim said of his victory: ‘Overwhelming…all the people cheering…especially as I’ve been nominated more times than Gone With The Wind… I got saved by these people and the people at home.’
When it came to the arguments he had with his housemates during the series, Jim said: 'I thought I'd stand my ground and just be me.’
He continued: 'I'm slightly damaged because of that, and all you got to do is be truthful, and truth will conquer all.'
He said about housemate Linda: 'It takes two hands to clap, takes two to argue, with Linda we're talking about. She's a fantastic artist, I really do admire her, we did clash a bit, but I can't wait for her to buy me a pint.'
Jim was the bookies favourite to walk away as winner of the show. Now the series is over, Jim is set to return to the stand-up circuit, starting his tour in Essex.
N-Dubz star Dappy came second place in the show, telling viewers: ‘Never in a million years did I think I'd come second… I'm just a bit shy to be among all these different species, all I know is chickpeas and tinned tomatoes!’
He continued: ‘Me coming into this house has helped me to separate Costas from Dappy.’
TOWIE star Sam came in fifth place, whilst Luisa took fourth and Made In Chelsea's Ollie took third.
Ollie said when he left the house: ‘It was the most bizarre experience of my life.’
Following her exit, Sam admitted that she would be keen to go on a date with Ollie after the two reality stars hit it off in the house.

Following the final she tweeted: 'Yaaaaaay thanks u guys we love u so much thanks 4 the support, he did so well, thanks 2 u guys, nuff love n thank u ndubletts n Dappy fans.'
It looked like Tulisa had found a pal in housemate Jasmine Waltz after they were spotted together following the final.
Lee Ryan and Jasmie looked cosy as it seemed Lee had managed to work his way back in his housemate's favour.
Casey said about he relationship with Lee: ‘My family and friends know my weak point ... I go back to someone that hurts me and I do it over and over again. Having this so in my face, I'm going to learn my lesson this time and not do it again.’
She continued: 'I don't love Lee. I haven't known him long enough to love him. For now it will only just be friends.’
