"Julian Clary has said that &amp;quot;fiery and fierce&amp;quot; Celebrity Big Brother housemate Julie Goodyear reminded him of Bette Davis. The two formed a strong friendship in the house, with Julie saying upon her eviction: &amp;quot;[He was] absolutely fantastic, we hit it off straight away. Kind, caring, funny - he&amp;#039;s a friend for life.&amp;quot;   Julian, who won the series yesterday (September 7) after beating Coleen Nolan, Martin Kemp, MC Harvey, Ashley McKenzie and The Situation in the final, showed equal affection for the 70-year-old, despite her occasionally controversial actions in the house. Speaking to journalists including Digital Spy, he said of the ex-Coronation Street star: &amp;quot;I like tricky people. People are boring you know. I&amp;#039;d think,&amp;#039;She&amp;#039;ll give a marvellous performance tomorrow&amp;#039;, and sure enough, having been vile all day long, the next day she went around saying &amp;#039;I love you&amp;#039; to people.  &amp;quot;She&amp;#039;s complicated and she reminded me of Bette Davis, fiery and fierce.&amp;quot;  When asked whether he&amp;#039;d like to work with her again in the future, he replied: &amp;quot;I&amp;#039;d like to. A sitcom, maybe? She&amp;#039;s got great comic timing.&amp;quot; Much was made of Julian&amp;#039;s calm, unflappable nature in the house - when asked what his secret was, he said: &amp;quot;I don&amp;#039;t explode... never judge. That&amp;#039;s my way of going through life.  &amp;quot;Once or twice [in the house] I would feel like getting all worked up, but I&amp;#039;ll not upset the boat. I&amp;#039;d go and laugh.&amp;quot; Photo gallery - Celebrity Big Brother day 24:  "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
