Eight housemates have now left Big Brother 2026 through the public vote — Millie, Chelsey, Johanne, Pauline, Rob, Harry, then Philip and Rhianna in the series’ first double eviction on 30 October. That leaves eight finalists fighting for the £100,000 prize in the live final on Bonfire Night, Thursday 5 November.

Two more people left the house without being evicted, which is why some reports count “seven” or “nine” exits rather than eight. Tays was unmasked as the launch-week secret mole and walked out during the House of Chaos opening twist, and Charlotte Nott chose to leave the competition of her own accord in October. Harry, for example, was widely described as “the seventh housemate to leave” even though he was only the sixth evictee.
How the Exits Actually Played Out
The series launched on 13 September on ITV2 with a twist that handed nomination power to a mole rather than the housemates. Tays and his assistant Philip put Millie, Pauline and Rochelle on the block in the very first public vote, and Millie — a 19-year-old bartender from Paisley — was out on 18 September after only five days inside. Pauline survived that vote, then survived again on 25 September when Chelsey went instead, having bonded closely with Lynx, Rhianna and Omar.
Pauline’s luck ran out on Day 27. After a heated row with Rochelle that ended with Big Brother separating her from the group, a formal warning, and a night in the Snug, she collected five nominations in a tense face-to-face round and was evicted on 9 October — her third time facing the public vote in four weeks. She danced her way out while Yasmin cried. Her exit episode also featured Gemma Collins entering the house as a guest for the House of Power week.
Rob Stirzaker followed a week later on 16 October after a three-way vote with Yasmin and Twinks. Then came the closest result of the run: Harry Symonds, a 30-year-old online fitness coach from Croydon, was nominated for the first time on 23 October alongside Catrin, Samuel and Twinks and lost by a narrow margin.
The biggest night came on 30 October, when five housemates — Samuel, Twinks, Philip, Rochelle and Rhianna — faced the show’s first double live eviction. Rochelle topped the nominations with eight votes, while Rhianna and Samuel picked up three each and Philip and Twinks two apiece. Philip, a Liverpudlian who had entered the house as the mole’s assistant and later became a favourite, was booed heavily and clashed with heckling fans on his way out; Rhianna followed minutes later. Their exits came after a guest appearance from Tiffany Pollard that saw her spar with Philip.
Where the Series Stands Today
As of Tuesday 3 November, eight housemates remain: Twinks Burnett, Rochelle, Yasmin, Samuel, Lynx, Catrin, Frankie and Omar. The final airs on Thursday 5 November at 9 pm on ITV2 and ITVX, running 95 minutes until 10.35 pm — a 54-day series, the longest since the show moved to ITV.
The bookies have Lucinda “Twinks” Burnett, a 36-year-old fashion stylist and “hype girl MC” from East London who arrived late in the run, as the odds-on favourite at 1/2. Rochelle, a 57-year-old housewife from Essex who has been nominated more than anyone else in the house, sits second at 7/4, with Manchester teacher Yasmin a surprise third at 8/1 after starting as a 50/1 outsider. Samuel, a 21-year-old administrative apprentice from Slough, was once the favourite but has drifted to 16/1.
The final week has not been calm. On 2 November, Frankie stormed out of the hot tub after a remark from Catrin and told Big Brother he “won’t speak to her for the whole time now,” with three or four days left in the house. Earlier in the week, viewers also spotted an editing error in which Omar appeared twice in the same wide shot of the Diary Room during nominations.
