Big Brother UK 2026 Ends With a New Winner on ITV2
ITV2 has crowned a new winner of Big Brother UK, ending the 2026 series after eight weeks. The winner takes home a £100,000 cash prize.
This is Season 23 of the reality competition, in which a group of strangers live together in one house under constant camera watch. Housemates are voted out each week until one person is left. The live final aired at 9pm on ITV2 and ITVX, according to ITV's own post about the final. ITVX is the broadcaster's streaming service, where viewers can watch on demand.
The series ran with a rotating set of weekly themes. These included Chaos, Double Trouble, House of Nothing, House of Revelations, House of Power, House of Time, House of Horror and House of Mystery. Each theme changed the rules of the house for that week, so the housemates had to adjust quickly.
The house also welcomed celebrity guests. Jedward, Gemma Collins and Tiffany "New York" Pollard all entered the house during the series, according to Deadline, which reported the result.
Among the finalists were Twinks, Samuel, Rochelle, Lynx, Catrin and Yasmin. Omar and Frankie were evicted on the penultimate episode, the week before the final, so they did not make the final night.
For the people behind the scenes, a series like this means a long run of daily filming, editing and live broadcast nights. For viewers, it means a clear finish after eight weeks of voting, eviction nights and themed twists. The next series will be scheduled in the same way, with ITV2 and ITVX as the main homes for the show.
