Big Brother 6: Anthony gets a warm welcome


HOMECOMING: Anthony returns to DurhamBIG Brother victor Anthony Hutton was mobbed by teenage girls today as he returned to his home town for the first time since winning the reality TV show.

The 23-year-old 70s disco dancer was given a hero's welcome as he attended a special reception laid on by his local council in Consett, Co Durham, to celebrate Friday night's triumph.

But Derwentside District Council's decision to also make him an "Ambassador for Young People" has been criticised by some councillors, who accused it of wasting taxpayers' money.

Council leader Alex Watson said: "Anthony has certainly put Consett on the map.

"We are pleased to be able to recognise Anthony's achievement by bestowing upon him the honour as `Ambassador for Young People'.

"We have all read in the press how Anthony has helped put Consett on the map and I am sure that in the future as an ambassador with family connections in the district he will continue to do so.

"We hope that he will help us motivate other young people in the district to achieve personal success."

Anthony, who lives with his mother, Annette, and grandmother, Mary, in the former steel town became an overnight celebrity after winning the sixth series of the popular reality show.

Following the closest final yet, the dancer beat nerdy Eugene Sully, although they shared the £100,000 jackpot.

Anthony was once signed to Whickham FC for £75, however, his current team mates at County Durham club Annfield Plain, say he's too fat to play after piling on the pounds while sitting around talking to his pal Craig.

His camp clothes and manner in the house led many viewers to speculate about him being gay - something he has denied.
