Anthony has become the fourth-placed housemate in a shock eviction result in Big Brother's live final.
The 19-year-old boxer was told the news by final celebrity hijacker and Big Brother host Dermot O'Leary.
He said: "I'm really happy, excited to go out and see my mum and friends. I didn't expect to get this far. I thought I'd be going home the first week."
Anthony admitted he was surprised he'd never been up for eviction, saying: "Every week I thought it's going to be me because I have ruffled people's feathers."
When probed about his relationship with former housemate Calista, he said: "She's a good friend of mine. After three and a half weeks in here your bonds with people are so close and when you're in a position like this, you don't know how much of it's true. I've got a lot of respect for her."
He picked John to win the show, saying: "If I was at home, I'd be voting for [John]."
In his first week in the house, Anthony was interrogated by Andy McNab's associates when the ex-SAS man took over the house. Under pressure, he cracked and revealed the secret code. As punishment he was told to pick someone who would automatically be put up for eviction - he picked Victor, reasoning that Victor had survived before.
His relationship with Calista came to a head when she started sleeping in his bed. But after plenty of cuddles and lots of flirting, he backtracked and said he only wanted them to be friends.
He was quite harsh to her in his stand-up routine when Roseanne Barr took over the house and he joked that she had more moustache than his dad.
There was some serious flirting going on between Anthony and Denise Van Outen when she hijacked the house. She called Anthony into the Diary Room and sang a romantic show tune to him.
He later admitted she "took his breath away".
Anthony spent lots of his time in the house boxing without his top on and Scott Mills managed to make him pose in just a thong for a life art class.
When the Hollyoaks' McQueen sisters took over the house, they were so impressed with Anthony that he won their special date task and joined the trio on a leopard print bed for chocolates and champagne.
In Kate Lawler's task, Jeremy had to pretend to be Anthony and Anthony was Jeremy. But Jeremy overstepped the mark when he said: "All the girls here have fallen in love with me so now I have a massive head."
