Who Is Millie Jarrett?
Millie Jarrett is a 19-year-old from Paisley, Scotland, who took part in Big Brother UK 2026, the twenty-third series of the British Big Brother, which aired on ITV2 from September 13 to November 5, 2026. She was one of fifteen housemates who entered the house on launch night, and one of the youngest contestants in a cast whose ages ranged from 18 to 57. Like most civilian housemates, Jarrett arrived with no prior television profile, and the public got to know her only in the first week of the series, before her eviction.
Jarrett’s time in the house was short but it began at the centre of the series’ opening twist. Before the launch, a group of social media creators had taken part in a televised dry run of the house, and one of them, Tays, entered the house on Day 1 as Big Brother’s mole. Tays had to choose another housemate to join him, and he chose Philip Regan, who became his deputy. Together, the two moles had to nominate three housemates for the first eviction, and they put up Millie Jarrett, Pauline Adeyemo and Rochelle Rackham. It was a high-stakes start for a first-time reality contestant, and it meant that Jarrett was facing the public vote within days of entering, before she had a chance to build the relationships in the house that might have saved her.
Early Life & Background
Millie Jarrett is from Paisley, Scotland, and was 19 years old when she entered the Big Brother house on September 13, 2026. No verified details of her date of birth, education, occupation or family life were published by ITV or in the series’ official coverage, so this profile does not state them. She applied through the open casting process, which had opened on November 14, 2025 and ran until August 1, 2026, and was selected as one of the fifteen original housemates for a series ITV described as reimagined as a house of surprises, with unexpected twists and game-changing moments around every corner.
The series was the fourth civilian series to air on ITV2 since ITV regained the rights to the format, and it ran for 54 days, the longest series on ITV and the longest since the eighteenth series on Channel 5 in 2017. For a 19-year-old entering that environment, the challenge was considerable: she was living under constant surveillance with housemates up to 57 years old, competing in physical tasks, and navigating nominations in a house where the public were once again voting to evict. Her seven days in the house were the shortest stay of any housemate in the series, apart from Charlotte Nott, who walked on Day 8.
Millie Jarrett’s Big Brother Journey
Jarrett’s journey began on Day 2, when the housemates played Getting to Know You in teams. She was a member of the Blue Team, alongside Frankie Carter, Philip Regan and Rochelle Rackham, and the team had to decide which housemate a statement was about. The Red Team won the game and was awarded cocktails in the snug. On Day 3, she took part in the first shopping task, when the house was transformed into Dreamland and the Nightmare Room, and the housemates had to complete a series of tasks in order to win a luxury shopping budget. The housemates in Dreamland had to complete tasks while the housemates in the Nightmare Room barked like dogs, and the task was a mixture of creative challenges, matching games and physical tasks.
The first eviction came on Day 7, after the mole’s nominations. Tays and Philip Regan had put up Millie Jarrett, Pauline Adeyemo and Rochelle Rackham, and the public voted to evict. On September 20, 2026, Jarrett became the first housemate to be evicted from series 23. She left the house before the pairs week, the House of Nothing week, the BB Express train task and the House of Time, and before the series’ later twists, including the Time Machine shopping task, had begun. Her eviction was a reminder of how quickly the game can turn in Big Brother, and of the power of the opening twist: the mole’s nominations had put her in the firing line before she had a chance to show the public who she was.
After her eviction, Jarrett was interviewed on Big Brother: Late and Live‘s replacement, the vodcast Big Brother: The Group Chat, which accompanied the highlights episodes throughout the series, and she watched the rest of the series from outside the house. The series concluded on November 5, 2026, when Rochelle Rackham, one of the two housemates who had faced the first eviction alongside Jarrett, won and the 100,000 pound prize, with Twinks Burnett second and Yasmin third. Jarrett’s story is therefore a short one, but it is a significant one: she was the first housemate to leave the house, and her eviction set the tone for a series in which the public were voting to evict from the very first week.
