Many speculated that their relationship might have contributed to Holly’s eviction.

Speaking exclusively to WHO, 21-year-old Colin says he has no regrets about how any of it unfolded. “I wouldn’t change a single thing,” he said.

“Changing anything would create a butterfly effect. I loved the experience from start to finish and I’ll take it with me for life.”

“I’m a mummy’s boy. Not hearing her voice or annoying her 24/7 was huge for me. But hearing in her letter that I’m her hero, that made it all worth it.”

The aspiring MMA fighter was one of the more emotional housemates in the Big Brother house, wearing his heart on his sleeve throughout the show. He believes this set him a part from others in the house. “[With me] what you see is what you get,” he explains. “I think the Australian public saw that and connected with it. That is me, and it’s truly humbling.”
