ITV Big Brother fans heard chanting for 'recount' as winner Rochelle exits to deafening boos

ITV Big Brother fans were heard chanting for a 'recount' after the winner of the series exited the house to deafening boos after eight weeks.

Rochelle Rackham was crowned the winner of the fourth civilian ITV season on Thursday (5 November) after beating late entry Twinks who came second place.

She won the overall public vote, with Yasmin coming in third place, marking the first time there has been a final three of all-women in the social experiment show.

However the final interview descended into chaos when Rochelle, despite the public vote, exited to deafening boos.

She was at points unable to hear presenters Will and AJ, with members of the crowd chanting 'Twinks should have won' and also heard demanding a 'recount'.

Users on X dubbed it the 'worst final ever' with others describing the scenes as 'chaos' and 'awkward'.

"This is so awkward to watch omg" one user wrote, as another penned: "I cannot overstate how insane that was to witness in person. people walked out. boos so loud that i couldn’t hear a single word of rochelle’s interview. will getting up every two minutes to yell at the audience to shut it."

Another added: "Rochelle's exit non interview was a total dogs dinner. As the winner she deserved better" followed by: "I literally couldn't hear or concentrate on what was said at all."

Others however praised the winner, saying she 'saved' the series, as one fan wrote: "Truly the BEST possible result. She has literally SAVED Big Brother from the axe and now she's walking away the winner."

Another viewer then posted: "Rochelle got the last word and the crown... best housemate in years."

"I only watched it for her! Love or hate her she made the show this year and for that she deserved her win," a third commented.

After eight weeks, the controversial housemate, who had a number of spats in the house including with fellow contestant Johanne and Twinks, received the most votes and ultimately walked away with the £100,000 prize.

But Rochelle's fellow housemates, also in the audience, looked less than impressed in a reaction shared widely online.

Presenter Will Best had to grapple with the audience throughout the interview, repeatedly attempting to quieten them down so the post-show chat could go ahead. "Guys, guys, she can't hear us speak," he pleaded repeatedly.

But it isn't the end for viewers, as it was confirmed that a reunion between the housemates would be filmed after the final to then air on ITV2 Friday (6 November).

It will be a chance for all housemates to have their voices heard one final time and discuss major talking points from the season, including the arrival of houseguest Tiffany New York Pollard and hot tub-gate with Jedward, runner-up Twinks and her identifying as a witch, and the 22,000 Ofcom complaints made over Omar and Rihanna's relationship.
