Katie Hopkins may have been quite open in saying how ludicrous she found last night's final Celebrity Big Brother result, but one person she isn't throwing under the bus is Michelle Visage. The pair struck up an unexpected friendship during their time on the Channel 5 show, and it seems they expect to stay in touch now it's all over.
Speaking to us and other outlets this morning, each of the ladies was asked about the other, and they only had positive things to say. Visage, who polled fifth in the final but perhaps got the strongest reaction from the gathered live audience, said: "All I knew of her was the hateful things she said but I went in there with a clean slate, but instinctually I thought 'I'm not going to get along with this woman at all because she stands for everything that I hate.'

"The first thing I said to her was that, and she took it on the chin and was like, 'You're allowed your opinion'. She didn't argue with it. We continued as humans. It just so happens that Katie has a wicked sense of humour and she made me laugh."
Hopkins, meanwhile, said to the same question: "Michelle and I will definitely stay friends. I love Michele. I think she's fantastic. She's a fantastic woman. She's bloody brilliant in applying make up.
"More importantly, she's a grafter. She's endlessly on the road. While everyone else is gloating about the fact that they'll be reunited with their family today, that woman is now heading on the road for a three month tour. You have got to admire her and I think she's a great woman." So what we of course need now is for RuPaul's Drag Race to hit the UK and for Hopkins to be a guest judge, right?

Celebrity Big Brother ended last night with Katie Price trumping Hopkins in the final two, with Calum Best finishing third and Keith Chegwin fourth. On Wednesday, Kavana and Perez Hilton were chucked out in seventh and sixth places respectively.
