Big Brother viewers believe Omar El Mayer has a secret soft spot for controversial housemate Twinks Burnett after spotting unexpected chemistry between the pair. The unlikely duo have raised eyebrows with their playful exchanges on the ITV2 reality show, despite previously clashing over their very different views.
Garden chat sparks speculation
Fans began speculating about a possible romance after Omar and Twinks were seen chatting in the garden, where their conversation turned to football. Omar asked Twinks whether she was interested in the sport, but she made it clear she “couldn’t care less”. He then questioned whether she felt the same about the World Cup.
After Twinks reiterated that football was not for her, Omar pointed out that even his mum enjoyed the tournament. He then suggested women's football might be more up her street. Twinks admitted she could be interested in that, prompting viewers to wonder whether there could be more to their connection than meets the eye.
Fans divided over motives
One fan wrote: “Omar low-key fancies her” Another agreed: “They both quite clearly like each other a lil bit. crazy scenes”
However, not everyone was buying into the romance rumours, with some viewers convinced Omar could have other motives for getting close to Twinks. One person suggested: “I don’t think he does, I think he likes the attention she gives him and he likes winding Rhi up” Another viewer claimed: “no he just wants to make Rhianna jealous. He’s an insecure man child” A third offered a different take, writing: “I think he’s intrigued.”
Previous clashes
The speculation comes after Omar and Twinks previously found themselves on opposite sides of a debate when she revealed she identified as a witch. Omar questioned her beliefs and insisted witches flew on broomsticks and gathered around cauldrons, sparking a clash between the pair.
They have also disagreed during a heated discussion about LGBTQ+ issues, including trans rights and single-sex bathrooms, with Omar's comments prompting debate among viewers. Despite their rocky start, the housemates appear to have grown closer as the series has progressed. Their earlier flirty conversations in the hot tub had already caught the attention of fans, and their latest garden chat has only added fuel to the speculation.
