ITV viewers have been left raging after allegedly spotting an easy-to-miss rule break
Big Brother viewers have called out “blatant cheating” during the latest round of nominations.
ITV viewers were left raging after fan favourites Twinks, Sam, Catrin and Harry were placed for Friday’s (October 16) live eviction following a huge nomination twist. It was revealed in Tuesday’s (October 20) episode that housemates would collectively choose four contestants to face the public vote.
As part of the House of Time twist, the contestants cast their votes in a special room called the Time Zone. Each housemate drew a random number from a bag to determine the order they would enter the room, with the first person having the power to put forward four nominations.
The rest of the cast then followed one-by-one and could either swap out two nominees or leave the list the same – but they couldn’t remove their own names from the podium. This means the two people who picked the first and last ticket had the most power to alter the final eviction line-up.
It was Philip who ended up nominating first, while Rhianna cast the final vote. But viewers are convinced they caught Rhianna, 22, looking inside the mystery bag when she picked her position in the nomination line-up.
Taking to X, formerly Twitter, one eagle-eyed fan asked: “Did anyone else spot how Rhianna looked into the bag of number chips when she was picking hers, and then it’s apparently a coincidence that she picked the last one? #BBUK.”
Others pointed out the same scene, with a second adding: “I’m pretty sure Rhianna was secretly looking inside the bag when choosing her number #bbuk.” Someone else fumed: “#bbuk WHY WAS RHIANNA ALLOWED TO LOOK IN THE BAG.”

Yet another viewer said: “Blatant cheating!!,” and someone else chimed in: “I was shouting at the screen!!”. The controversial scene appears to show Rhianna briefly looking down at the pouch as she plucked out her ticket.
However, the camera angle actually has her eyes out of frame, although her head position clearly indicates she was in fact looking down. But this doesn’t prove she was “cheating” as other viewers have correctly pointed out.
One defender argued: “to be fair she already had the number in her hand if you look properly, I think she looked at the number she had picked rather than looking at the numbers to choose from. you can see she already has it in her hand. reaching too far now.” Another added: “Or maybe it was to see if she only grabbed 1,” with a third viewer stating: “you don’t think they would fold it?”.
It’s also important to note that Rhianna didn’t actually change the nominations list when she entered the Time Zone. By the time she went in, Catrin, Harry, Sam and Twinks were already nominated. The Chelsea-based star chose to nominate Catrin and Twinks, making no changes to the existing line-up.
