A British man has been chosen as the winner of Bar Europa, the Polish version of TV's Big Brother.

Tom Amos, 28, from Malvern, Worcs, entered the contest as a joke, but was awarded the £20,000 prize on Saturday night after spending three months in the house.

Amos made a name for himself after a fight with a 6ft 4in Russian and constantly winding up other guests on the show.

The result was confirmed on Sunday, where it was announced that Tom had won by 76 per cent of the television vote.

Unlike other versions of Big Brother, where contestants are not allowed access to the outside world, the Polish version has them leaving to work nightly in a student bar.

However, there are still evictions with the contestant with the least viewer votes facing eviction.

Mr Amos has been living in Poland for the last two years after first visiting to work with deprived children.

His family said he has little aptitude for other languages but had to speak Polish throughout the show.

He became favourite to win after making it through to the final.

Before his win Mrs Amos said: "Win or lose, Tom plans to spend Christmas at home with his family in Worcester."
