Quick Facts

Who Is Rhianna Collins?

Rhianna Collins is a 21-year-old from Belgravia, London, 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, Collins arrived with no prior television profile, and the public got to know her through the series itself, where she quickly became a visible and vocal presence in the house.

Collins was a member of the Red Team on Day 2, when the housemates played Getting to Know You and had to decide which housemate a statement was about. The Red Team, made up of Chelsey Ammari, Lynx Noumey, Omar El Mayer and Rhianna Collins, won the game and was awarded cocktails in the snug. It was an early sign of the alliances that would shape her time in the house, and she remained close to several of those housemates throughout the series. Her most memorable storyline, however, came later, in the House of Time week, when she was the final housemate to enter the Time Zone and therefore had the last word on which four housemates would face eviction, a position of real power in a series built around twists.

Early Life & Background

Rhianna Collins is from Belgravia, London, and was 21 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 21-year-old living under constant surveillance with housemates up to 57 years old, the house was a demanding environment, and Collins’ survival until Day 48, through seven rounds of nominations and evictions, showed that she had built strong relationships in the house and a following with the public.

Rhianna Collins’s Big Brother Journey

Collins’ journey began in the first shopping task, when the house was transformed into Dreamland and the Nightmare Room. As part of a story told by Big Brother, she had to squeeze a lemon into the housemate she felt was most bitter, while the housemates in Dreamland cheered and the housemates in the Nightmare Room barked like dogs. In the pairs week, the House of Double Trouble, she was paired with Lynx Noumey by Jedward. The pair finished joint fifth in Peas in a Pod, joint fourth in Jedward’s Jepic Pairs, and joint fifth overall after the blindfolded cup-stamping game, in which they scored four points. In the Noah’s Ark shopping task, Lynx and Rhianna became rabbits and had to collect carrots, managing three out of five and failing that part of the task, although the housemates passed the shopping task overall and received a luxury budget.

In the House of Nothing week, when all the furniture, food and appliances were removed from the house, Collins and Lynx answered Big Brother’s call to the Diary Room and were given the chance to win back the contents of the fridge by naming thirty items that had been in it. They succeeded. She also failed to win back a spoon by balancing one on her nose, while other housemates succeeded. On Day 9, Collins was one of five housemates, along with Chelsey Ammari, Frankie Carter, Omar El Mayer and Yasmin, who had to clean the entire house after discussing nominations in separate conversations. In the BB Express shopping task, she and Samuel Keen were chosen to place the names of the housemates they thought had received each nominations total on a board. In the House of Power, she was on the Red Team with Rob Stirzaker, Frankie Carter, Omar El Mayer, Twinks Burnett and Yasmin, and was one of the three housemates chosen by captain Rob to represent the Red Team in the final domino game, which the Red Team lost when Yasmin knocked over the Blue Team’s dominoes.

The House of Time gave Collins her biggest moment. Each housemate drew a numbered token to decide the order they entered the Time Zone, where they had to make nominations and could swap nominees in and out. Philip Regan, who drew token one, first nominated Catrin Richards, Harry Benton-Symonds, Samuel Keen and Twinks Burnett, and a series of swaps followed. Collins was the final housemate to enter the Time Zone, and she retained the nominations, deciding that the final four facing eviction would be Catrin, Harry, Samuel and Twinks. On Day 36 she had also accepted an offer of thirty seconds in her time bank in exchange for the hot water being switched off for 24 hours. In the Time Machine shopping task, she played Cleopatra while Frankie Carter, Philip Regan and Samuel Keen, as ancient Egyptians, tried to assemble pipes to transport water into her bath, a task they failed, before wrapping a housemate in toilet roll to mummify him every time Walk Like an Egyptian played.

Collins’ time in the house also included a widely reported confrontation with Omar El Mayer, broadcast in the episode of October 19, 2026, in which he dismissed her feelings, told her that her feelings were not facts, asked her not to discuss him with other housemates, and instructed her to look at him during the argument. Viewers raised concerns about his behaviour, and ITV responded to the concerns. In the Jack in a Box Horror Quiz on Day 45, Collins was in a group with Omar El Mayer and Philip Regan, and Philip won, with Omar and Rhianna made to stand in the corner of the room. She was later chosen by house guest Tiffany Pollard, along with Twinks Burnett and Yasmin, to attend a party. When the housemates nominated for the final time on Day 44, Collins received the most nominations alongside Philip Regan, Rochelle Rackham, Samuel Keen and Twinks Burnett. On Day 48, she and Philip became the seventh and eighth housemates to be evicted, leaving the house together a week before the final on November 5, 2026, when Rochelle Rackham won the series and the 100,000 pound prize.
