Rochelle won Big Brother UK 2026, with Twinks finishing runner-up in the Thursday, 5 November final, according to Deadline’s live coverage. The winner’s prize was £100,000. This is the British series shown on ITV2 and ITVX, rather than a result from the US edition.

The final closes a run that returned to ITV in September. Before the result, ITV reported 52.4 million streams for Big Brother and companion programme The Group Chat in a 3 November update. That figure measures streams across programmes; it is not a count of unique viewers or votes for the winner. With the contest now decided, the useful next distinction is between the final replay and the separate reunion.

Big Brother UK 2026 final places: Rochelle, Twinks, Yasmin, Samuel, Lynx and Catrin; final replay and November 6 reunion are separate programmes.

How the six finalists finished

Deadline’s final rundown places Rochelle first, Twinks second and Yasmin third, followed by Samuel in fourth, Lynx in fifth and Catrin in sixth. Those are the finishing places in the final, rather than a prediction made before voting closed. Earlier previews naming the finalists or discussing favourites should therefore be read as pre-result material.

The outcome records the public’s choice, but it does not by itself explain why viewers voted as they did. The sources reviewed here do not establish a final vote percentage or a winning margin. ITV’s pre-final streaming figures cannot fill that gap: watching a programme and casting a vote are different actions.

Use the UK programme page for the final replay

The official route is the Big Brother programme page on ITVX, where the current description identifies the conclusion of Big Brother 2026 and the £100,000 prize. Open that page and choose the final from the current series. ITVX labels this run Series 4, reflecting its run on the network. Check the episode description as well as the series label so an earlier highlights episode is not mistaken for the final.

That page is a UK viewing route. ITV’s help guidance says its streaming licences apply while viewers are in the UK, so it should not be presented as a US streaming option. The programme page was checked, but successful playback and a replay expiry were not established. Availability and any sign-in prompt remain subject to ITVX’s own player and account conditions.

The reunion follows on November 6

Producer Banijay UK announced Big Brother: The Reunion for Friday, 6 November on ITV2 and ITVX. The one-hour special is hosted by AJ Odudu and Will Best and brings the cast back to revisit relationships and events from the house. It is a follow-up programme, rather than another round of the final competition.

For viewers catching up, the order is straightforward: use the final to see how the result unfolded, then look for the separately titled reunion for the cast’s reflections. Rochelle’s win and the reunion date answer different questions. Keeping those programmes separate also avoids treating a new cast conversation as a new result or assuming that UK access terms extend to another country.
