There’s a clear favourite already.
Fans tuning into the live launch of Big Brother’s new series have already crowned a winner. More than a dozen new housemates were welcomed into the famous residence by AJ Odudu and Will Best.
They are each in the running for a huge cash prize as they look to spend eight-weeks together while also being faced with tasks as well as dramatic twists. The very first night already introduced some drastic developments.
While Will confirmed that the first week of the show will see the contestant’s new accommodation become a ‘house of chaos’ there is another twist. One of the housemates that entered is actually a mole working for Big Brother.
They will be able to influence the first live eviction due to take place next week. Someone else could also be recruited as another mole.
The housemate line-up in full is
- Yasmin, 29, a teacher from Manchester
- Harry, 30 from Croydon, fitness coach
- Chelsey, 29, from Manchester, social worker
- Phillip, 53, from Liverpool, content creator
- Lynx, 24 from London, property developer
- Charlotte, 18 from Oxford, student
- Pauline, 31, from Essex, carer
- Tays, 23, from Manchester, streamer who is actually the secret housemate and Big Brother’s mole
- Rochelle, 56, from Essex, housewife
- Millie, 19, from Paisley, bartender
- Frankie, 23 from London, marketing manager
- Samuel, 21, from Slough, admin apprentice
- Rob, 25, from Bideford, radio presenter
- Rhianna, 21, from Chelsea, stay-at-home daughter
- Omar, 21 from London, jewellery seller
- Johanne, 44, from Los Angeles, online marketing
Just moments after the housemates had settled in, fans were already selecting their favourite to win. There was one person in particular that seemed to be a popular option.
That was 21-year-old Samuel from Slough. He has admitted that going on Big Brother is a dream come true for him and he is looking forward to making connections with his fellow housemates.
One viewer posted on social media: “So far, Big Brother UK 2026 has been very promising. So many good housemates from all walks of life. I think I’ve got this year’s winner in the bag.”
Other’s were confident enough to make a predication as one person said: “Why do I feel like Samuel could be a underdog winner?”
Someone else confessed: “If I had to pick a winner from the lot tonight, I’d say Samuel or Rob.” While another added: “Samuel giving iconic winner vibes already.” They weren’t alone as another replied: “Samuel is my winner. I love him already.”
Big Brother continues tomorrow at 9pm on ITV2 and ITVX.
