Big Brother 2026 contestant Johanne — one of the biggest personalities of the season who was sadly the third housemate to be evicted — has given her opinion on Twinks, one of the two people to enter the house the same night she left.
Speaking exclusively to Digital Spy as part of an interview conducted on Wednesday that you can read the rest of right here, Johanne gave Twinks her stamp of approval, stating that they “120%” would have been allies.
“I loved her,” Johanne said. “The moment she walked in and she was just holding her space, I was like ‘you get ’em girl’…”

She explained: “I love that Twinks came in, and she wasn’t trying to fit in. She was just like, ‘This is who I am, like it, that’s great, you don’t that’s okay too’ — I love that in women! I love that.
“I think me and her would have gotten along phenomenally.”
Johanne did add that Twinks is “not my number 1 choice to make it to the end”, stating: “Everybody knows Pauline is my girl.
“But I would love to see her at the end, for sure.”

During her time in the house, Johanne got to meet the ever-enduring Jedward, and says that the former X Factor contestants have remained in contact with her since her eviction.
“Yeah, we’ve spoken twice already, as soon as I got out John sent me a text message and I called him,” she said.
“They’re in my life forever. They were there briefly, but they had such a huge impact on me and I’ll never forget that.”
