Big Brother housemate Omar has been dealt a major setback just a day before the ITV final, as recently-evicted Rhianna has hinted their on-screen romance is over. The 21-year-old Londoner, one of eight housemates still in the house, has avoided eviction for eight weeks since joining the show in September and is hoping to claim the crown on Thursday, November 5.
Rhianna's viral TikTok hints at split
Rhianna, 22, posted a clip on TikTok singing along to Sabrina Carpenter's hit song Nobody's Son, with a caption reading: "After watching THAT episode and seeing all my self worth come back." She also sang along to lyrics including "That boy is corrupt. Could you raise him to love me, maybe? He sure f***** me up," and added another caption: "Took me a second."
The 10-second clip has amassed over 680,000 views and sparked debate across social media. Some viewers claimed Rhianna was faking the relationship all along, with one posting "Of course she has dropped him, she doesn't need him now," and another saying "It was so obvious she was with him for the air." Yet another watcher posted "Rhianna has dumped Omar via TikTok replies #BBUK," to which someone replied "well that's gotta be awkward, is she gonna let him know at the reunion in front of everyone?" But her supporters have been quick to defend her, with one saying "Rhianna gurl we support your decision all the way, don't take notice of the irrelevant opinions."
Romance under scrutiny
The former housemate appears to be referring to her romance with Omar, implying she has no plans to rekindle with him when he leaves the show this week. It comes just days after she told Omar "I love you" upon her eviction on Friday, October 30. But it's not the first time the Chelsea-based star has questioned their romance.
Rhianna previously received warnings about her relationship with Omar from her fellow housemates, as well as her sister during the family and friends' visit. She also voiced concerns about how Omar spoke to her during the show but ultimately decided to stick by his side. Earlier in the series, Omar sparked over 20,000 Ofcom complaints for his treatment of Rhianna, with Women's Aid even issuing a statement amid online outrage.
Reunion and final details
Fans will likely find out more about the couple's relationship status during Big Brother's reunion episode this Friday, November 6. Hosted by AJ Odudu and Will Best, the episode will bring together this year's cast for one last time.
ITV's synopsis teases: "Set against the unmistakable backdrop of the Big Brother house, the series' stars will reunite to revisit the moments, friendships and fallouts that defined their time in the house. Expect big revelations, unfinished business and plenty of drama as they look back on the moments that had the nation talking and reveal where they stand now." The Big Brother 2026 final airs on ITV2 and ITVX this Thursday, November 5 at 9pm.
