James Hewitt, the former lover of Diana, Princess of Wales, has won the Back To Reality television show.

The ginger-haired smoothie said he was "in complete shock" after leaving the luxury mansion last night.

Winner: James Hewitt

Hewitt praised his fellow contestants in the Channel Five show, adding: "We are all going to meet up and have a ding dong."

Back To Reality was billed as the battle of the reality television stars, with a host of people made famous by the genre putting themselves up for public votes.

All 12 guests entered the luxury mansion three weeks ago. They completed reality challenges to win votes from viewers.

Hewitt and Maureen Rees of Driving School were voted the two most popular guests after Craig Phillips had been ejected earlier on.

The ex-army major's win netted him £93,500 to donate to The Passage, a Christian charity that helps London's homeless.

The 11 other contestants were:

Josie D'Arby of The Games
Lizzy Bardsley of Wife Swap
Nick Bateman of Big Brother
Uri Geller of I'm A Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here!
Jade Goody of Big Brother
Catalina Guirado of I'm A Celebrity
Sarah Kozer of Joe Millionaire
Craig Phillips of Big Brother
Maureen Rees
Ricardo Ribeiro of The Salon
Rik Waller of Pop Idol
