The episode prior saw Omar and Frankie sent home packing after a backdoor eviction occurred during a task, leaving six housemates ahead of the final tonight.
Before each housemate was evicted, hosts AJ Odudu and Will Best revealed that the voting process would be opened and closed before each housemate was announced, allowing viewers to cast five more to the previous votes.
In her statement following her win, Rochelle said: “Thank you so much to every single person that voted for me. I can’t tell you what this means. It’s absolutely incredible.
“I don’t know who you are, but thank you so, so much. And I hope that I entertained you because I worked bloody hard in that house. And also, it looks like I’ve got the last word because I’m winner, winner, chicken dinner.”
However, despite Rochelle’s exhilaration from her win, the controversial housemate was reportedly graced with boos and taunts as she exited the house (via LADbible), which led one viewer to exclaim: “This is so awkward to watch omg.”

Meanwhile, another Big Brother fan claimed that they “couldn’t hear a single word” of her interview.
Over on X, viewers were divided on Rochelle’s win, as some were delighted by it, with one person writing: “Thank the lord that the princess Rochelle won.”
Another praised the result: “Soooo glad that Rochelle won!!! Such a deserving winner”, while someone else said they were “not shocked” by the result. Others, however, were in disbelief, as one commenter expressed their shock at the result: “How did Rochelle win?!”
And some declared their wish for runner-up Twinks to have won instead, with an Instagram user writing on her final message: “YOU SHOULD HAVE WON!”
However, this isn’t the last time we’ll be seeing this group of housemates as they reunite for Big Brother: The Reunion, which is set to air on 6 November.
