Big Brother hit by another security breach that could cause havoc exposing ‘truth’
Rochelle Rackham on Big Brother UK 2026 (ITV)
ITV’s Big Brother has reportedly been put on lockdown for a second time after tennis balls carrying messages were thrown into the garden.
A source quoted by The Sun claimed: “Three balls were thrown over the wall for the housemates to read, and they all had different messages on them.”
Housemates reportedly managed to read the secret messages before the voice of Big Brother ordered them to get back inside – and it sounds like they could be explosive.
The source continued: “There was one about Pauline eating non organic crisps, another about Rochelle being right after her huge argument with Pauline and Johanne and something about Philip being favourite to win the show.”
Big Brother’s format is built around housemates living under constant surveillance while being cut off from outside information, so any attempt to pass messages into the house risks disrupting nominations, alliances and the wider game.
Tennis ball messages could cause chaos
The apparent notes referenced several housemates, including Rochelle Rackham, Johanne Cade, Pauline Adeyemo and Philip Regan.

Viewers have seen Pauline ranting and raving about only eating organic food, refusing to eat meals cooked by her co-stars. However, she has also been seen eating Walkers crisps, which are not labelled as organic by the brand.
Rochelle was left on the outs after yet another huge row with Johanne and Pauline, after she took their conversation about racial micro-aggressions to the wider house, with Johanne and Pauline claiming they hadn’t mentioned Rochelle as part of it.
And could the housemates be swayed to nominate Philip to eliminate a threat if they believe he’s favourite to win?
The Sun said it was not yet known whether the scenes would feature in Wednesday’s episode. However viewers did see the tennis ball incident the first time it happened, as well as the fall-out of the messages inside.
Big Brother continues tonight at 9pm on ITV2 and ITVX.
