Their in-house romance was a hot topic of conversation on this year’s Big Brother reboot.
Now that the cameras have stopped rolling, does the flame still burn as bright for Colin Ridley and Holly Young?
While they have not hard launched a post-Big Brother romance, the pair still follow each other on Instagram and frequently pop up on each other’s social feeds.
Colin also shared a telling clip to TikTok earlier this month that showed him looking very comfortable with Holly.
The clip saw Colin sitting in the passenger seat of a car before the camera panned to reveal Holly in the driver’s seat.
Colin then leaned in to give Holly a sweet peck on the cheek.
Their in-house romance was a hot topic of conversation on this year’s Big Brother reboot. Now that the cameras have stopped rolling, does the flame still burn as bright for Colin Ridley and Holly Young?
‘It’s 2025. Passenger princesses are so last year,’ Colin captioned the clip which elicited a flurry of comments from fans.
‘Aww this is so cute. She didn’t even know u were filming. Don’t listen to the haters,’ one fan commented.
Another chimed in with an excited: ‘YASSSS COLIN!!! Bagged a baddie.’
Speculation about the couple’s romance was a major focus of both their story arcs in the Big Brother house this year, and has continued in the real world.
However, speaking to Pedestrian recently, Holly said she and Colin were ‘definitely’ still together.
‘We are just enjoying the time together out of the house without so many eyes on us,’ she said.
‘We were constantly under the microscope in the Big Brother house. Both learning so much about each other. It’s super refreshing.’
Colin’s mother Vanessa also gave her assessment on the relationship to the publication earlier this month.

‘I’m glad he has gone for what he has wanted, gone after a lovely woman. That has surprised me,’ she said.
‘Normally, he is quite reserved and shy. Something about Holly has brought that out of him and he must have wanted it because he has gunned for it and I couldn’t be happier for him.’
During her time in the house, Holly faced intense scrutiny from other housemates over her intense connection with Colin.
The model was booted shortly after yet another tense ‘family meeting’ in which housemates confronted the pair over their constant cuddling and late-night affection.
Following his eviction, housemate Michael Downes appeared on Star 104.5 FM’s Gina and Matty show and slammed Holly as ‘fake’, while claiming the romance was just for show.
‘So if you think Holly’s fake, does that mean that Holly and Colin’s romance is fake as well?’ host Matt Baseley asked.
Michael didn’t mince words, replying: ‘Mate 100 per cent. Everybody knows that. I said that ain’t lasting until halfway down the eviction runway… that’s not a thing!’
Despite the drama, Holly emphasised to Daily Mail their connection was genuine—a real relationship, not a showmance or a tactical alliance.
‘Absolutely not. There was no briefing, no suggestion from producers. They were so professional,’ she said.
‘None of us knew who anybody was when we walked in. It was just twelve completely different personalities thrown together.’
