Big Brother runner-up Twinks flooded with support after sharing heartbreaking reason why she has false teeth

Big Brother UK star Twinks Burnett has shocked fans by revealing she wears false teeth, following her stint on the reality TV show.

After finishing as runner-up to winner Rochelle Rackham, 57, the 36-year-old fashion stylist took to TikTok to answer a question she’d been getting from viewers.

She wrote in the caption: “You ready for a plot twist and a reveal or what….?!” before explaining on camera: “Okay, there's been some questions and I realise that unless you know me personally and in real life then this might come as a surprise to you."

Twinks then removed the dentures on camera and continued: “I've gone backward and forwards about whether I tell you about this. Before you ask, 'Is it Turkey teeth?' It's not.”

She explained: "It's trauma. It's always trauma. And - trigger warning - when I was 15 years old, I was physically assaulted and - now this.”

Filming herself gluing the dentures back in, Twinks added: “So, every so often the glue that keeps them locked in stops working and they fall out, which happened yesterday.

“Hence the cryptic code that my friends know as 'my teeth fell out,' and then the jokes ensue."

Fans have flooded the star’s comments with support, thanking her for being so open.

One social media user wrote: “You have made me feel so normal now THANK YOU,” while a second added: “Twinks I appreciate your honesty your an absolute star!!”

A third gushed: “Bless you, this is soooooooo brave. I’m sorry you were assaulted. You are beautiful!! And you’re actually a role model for many young women who have had trauma to the teeth and lost them. You will help so many with this video. Go on, girly. I’m so sorry you had to go through that, though.”

And a fourth added: “You are so awesome!!! I have false teeth too, and it’s great seeing someone in the public eye normalising this!!”

While a fifth realised: “This was happening on the final!! I saw you playing with your teeth and was thinking what on earth is going on! Wow!”

As we say, Twinks finished as runner-up during the live final on Thursday (5 November) - a result that many viewers were not happy with.

Rochelle’s winner interview turned chaotic when hosts AJ Odudu and Will Best couldn’t get the crowd to stop booing, as they chanted, “Twinks should have won,” while demanding a recount.

Will pleaded, “Guys, guys, she can’t hear us speak,” and AJ said, “We’re going to have to shout.”

There was barely anything in the vote, as Rochelle won with 37.65 percent, while Twinks had 36.62 percent.

Rochelle has since widely been considered the most controversial housemate, and even said when she left: "All the suffering was worth it.”

As for the other finalists, Yasmin finished in third place with 15.89 per cent of the vote, Samuel in fourth with 5.11 per cent, Lynx in fifth with 2.44 per cent, and finally Catrin in sixth with 2.29 per cent.
