Updated on Saturday 7 November 2026. We have added the final vote percentages, revealed at Friday’s reunion.

The last Big Brother eviction of 2026 came in Thursday’s live final, when the finalists left one by one until Rochelle Rackham was the only housemate left. She won the £100,000 prize, Twinks Burnett finished runner-up, and the studio crowd booed as Rochelle came out. The vote figures revealed at Friday’s reunion show how close it was: Rochelle had 37.65% of the vote to Twinks’ 36.62%.

Here’s who won, the order the finalists left, how the result compared with the bookmakers’ odds, how the final vote worked, the full vote percentages, every housemate evicted from Big Brother 2026, the reunion, and who won in previous years.

Who won Big Brother 2026?

Rochelle Rackham won Big Brother 2026, beating Twinks Burnett in the public vote in Thursday’s live final and taking home £100,000, Where To Watch reported. “All the suffering was worth it,” Rochelle said after her win, Brit Brief reported.

Sixth, and the first to leave on the night. Arrived with Twinks after Johanne’s eviction.

Not everyone in the studio was happy with the result. The crowd booed as Rochelle left the house, chanting “Twinks should have won” and calling for a recount, and at times she could not hear AJ Odudu and Will Best’s questions, LADbible reported. With Yasmin in third, the final three were all women.

Who was evicted from Big Brother this week?

The last five Big Brother evictions of the series came in Thursday’s live final. Catrin Richards was the first to leave, followed by Lynx Noumey, Samuel Keen and Yasmin, before Twinks Burnett finished runner-up in what Where To Watch called a closely contested vote. The figures released afterwards put her 1.03 percentage points behind Rochelle.

The day before, Omar El Mayer and Frankie Taber were evicted in a surprise back-door double eviction, shown in Wednesday’s episode, Day 53. Big Brother told the housemates that, unknown to them, the public had been voting for the housemate they wanted to win, Brit Brief reported, and Omar and Frankie were the two to go, ATV Today reported.

Omar El Mayer

  • Age 21
  • From London
  • Job Jewellery seller
  • In since Day 1

Was the longest price left to win, at 80/1 with BetFred, before he went.

Frankie Taber

  • Age 23
  • From Eltham, London
  • Job Marketing manager
  • In since Day 1

Left on Day 53, one day short of the final, at 66/1 to win with BetFred.

The bookmakers saw it coming. Omar and Frankie were the two longest prices to win in the odds OLBG reported on Tuesday, and fans had guessed a back-door exit was coming after the vote was frozen before Wednesday’s episode, Capital reported.

Did the bookmakers’ favourite win Big Brother?

No. Twinks went into the final as the favourite to win Big Brother 2026, with Rochelle the only housemate close behind, and Rochelle won. BetFred had Twinks at 5/6 and Rochelle at 11/10 on Wednesday, with Yasmin a long way back at 22/1.

Twinks5/6Runner-up
Rochelle11/10Winner
Yasmin22/1Third
Samuel25/1Fourth
Lynx33/1Fifth
Catrin66/1Sixth

Apart from the top two, the bookmakers had the order exactly right: Yasmin, Samuel, Lynx and Catrin finished in the same order as their odds. These are BetFred’s prices as reported by Capital on Wednesday 4 November, before Omar and Frankie’s exit was shown. Other bookmakers were more confident in Twinks: bet365 had cut her to 2/5, OLBG reported.

How did the Big Brother final vote work?

In the final, viewers voted for the housemate they wanted to win, not the one they wanted out. It was the same system used for every Big Brother eviction vote this series: voting was free and online only, through ITV’s website, and you needed to register a UK mobile number first. You got up to five votes each time the vote opened. The vote froze during the live show and reopened as housemates left, with five fresh votes each time, ATV Today reported.

The vote is now closed, and the percentages were revealed at Friday’s reunion. They are in full below.

There was no app or phone vote. ITV’s voting FAQs set out how voting worked through the website.

What were the Big Brother 2026 final vote percentages?

Rochelle won Big Brother 2026 with 37.65% of the vote in the final, 1.03 percentage points ahead of Twinks on 36.62%. The figures were revealed during Friday’s reunion, Brit Brief reported, and Capital and TV Zone UK published the same numbers.

HousemateVoteFinished
Rochelle37.65%Winner
Twinks36.62%Runner-up
Yasmin15.89%Third
Samuel5.11%Fourth
Lynx2.44%Fifth
Catrin2.29%Sixth

Rochelle and Twinks took almost three quarters of the vote between them. Yasmin’s 15.89% was more than Samuel, Lynx and Catrin had put together, and Catrin, the first to leave on the night, had the smallest share. Brit Brief called it one of the closest finishes in the show’s history.

Who has been evicted from Big Brother 2026?

Every other housemate left before Rochelle was crowned. Eleven had gone before the final, ten evicted and one who walked, and five more left one by one during the live final on Thursday 5 November.

Philip Regan and Rhianna Collins went the week before, in the live double eviction on Friday 30 October, and the crowd booed both of them as they left, Where To Watch reported.

How did the House of Time nomination twist work?

In the week before Harry’s eviction, the housemates were living in the House of Time, and nominations happened one at a time in the Time Zone.

  1. Philip went firstThe housemates drew numbers to set the order. Philip Regan, the first into the Time Zone, put four names on the nomination podiums: Catrin, Harry, Samuel and Twinks.
  2. Everyone else could swapEach housemate after him could swap up to two of the names, but nobody could take their own name off.
  3. Philip’s four stuckRhianna went last and left all four names in place, so the same four Philip picked went to the public vote.

Viewers were not impressed. Fans online called the result a joke, and plenty argued that the four facing the vote were among the house’s nicest housemates, while the players they blame for the arguments stayed safe.

Who is still in the Big Brother house?

Nobody is left in the Big Brother house. The series ended with Thursday’s final, and these were the six housemates who made it to the last night.

  • Catrin
  • Lynx
  • Rochelle
  • Samuel
  • Twinks
  • Yasmin

Highlighted in yellow: winner Rochelle and runner-up Twinks.

When is the next Big Brother eviction, and when is the reunion?

There are no more Big Brother evictions this year, because the series ended with Thursday’s final, so nobody is up for eviction now. Big Brother: The Reunion was on Friday 6 November at 9 pm on ITV2 and ITVX, a 60-minute special that brought the housemates back together to look back on the series, Where To Watch and Rayo reported.

AJ Odudu and Will Best hosted, and viewers learned how close the vote had been minutes into the show, Brit Brief reported. For more on the winner and the crowd’s reaction, read why Rochelle was booed at the Big Brother final.

You can catch up on the whole series, and on Big Brother: The Group Chat, on ITVX. ITV had not announced another series when we updated this page.

When was the Big Brother 2026 final, and what did the winner get?

The final was Day 54. The series launched on 13 September, making it the longest Big Brother series ITV has aired, and the final landed on Bonfire Night. It was also the most watched: the series and its companion show passed 56 million streams on ITVX, up 67% on last year and the most since Big Brother returned to ITV in 2023, Where To Watch reported.

Who won Big Brother last year?

Richard Storry won Big Brother last year, beating Elsa Rae in the final on 14 November 2025. At 60, he became the oldest civilian winner of Big Brother in the UK, according to the record of the series.
