Who Won Big Brother 2026 Last Night? Champion Crowned After 'Best Series in Years'
Rochelle triumphed after a vote described as one of the closest ever, despite boos and more than 22,000 Ofcom complaints.
- On Thursday, Rochelle Rackham won Big Brother 2026, defeating runner-up Lucinda 'Twinks' Burnett in a closely fought public vote and securing the £100,000 cash prize.
- Rackham accumulated a record 29 nominations during the eight-week series, fueling controversy that generated over 22,000 complaints to media regulator Ofcom regarding offensive remarks and alleged bullying.
- Boos drowned out presenters AJ Odudu and Will Best during the final as audience members chanted for Burnett and demanded a 'recount,' with viewers describing the scene as unprecedented.
- The series surpassed 220 million streams on ITVX, representing a 67% increase on last year, though viewers remained deeply divided over Rackham's victory despite the public vote result.
- Housemates reunite for a one-off special on Friday to address the controversies and house dramas that dominated the eight-week series, offering an opportunity to confront tensions unresolved on air.
