"It was my self-belief that got me over the line," said Ogogo afterwards.
"Neither my family nor my teammates believed I could win this. If I didn't believe in myself my legs would have crumbled."
Ogogo dedicated his victory to his mum, who suffered a brain haemorrhage six weeks ago.
After the fight, he wrote on Twitter: "Speaking to my Mum, hearing her tell me she loves me has been the best part of the day bar none... Inspiration. X"
Celebrity Hijack was a spinoff of the popular reality show, which aired on E4 and featured especially talented youngsters ranging from 18-21 years old. Ogogo finished fourth in the final. The series was won by aspiring politician John Loughton.
