In last night’s final (Friday December 4), Vernon went head-to-head with Giovanna and Jordan North.

Giovanna, 35, was eventually crowned the first Queen of the Castle, after Vernon was eliminated.

However, Vernon and Giovanna have a history – Gi was once a guest on Family Fortunes, and things didn’t go well.
