A Romance No One Saw Coming
When Nathan King and Rosie Williams entered the Big Brother house, neither of them expected to find love. Nathan, 24, and Rosie, 29, had no plans to fall for anyone, let alone form a relationship on national television. But a surprise twist in the form of a secret conversation during a fire drill changed everything.

“At first, I didn’t even think I was going to like anyone in the house,” Nathan confessed. “It wasn’t something I was expecting, but after some time, I realized there was something special about Rosie. It felt like the more we spent time together, the closer we got.”
Rosie, affectionately known as “Baked Tattie” on the show, agreed, reflecting on their early days in the house. “I never went in thinking, ‘I’m going to find my dream partner.’ But as Nathan and I started spending time together, it became clear there was something more than just friendship.”
Their romance, however, wasn’t without its challenges. As the relationship deepened, rumors of a “showmance” quickly began to surface, and the couple found themselves struggling with the scrutiny of the cameras and the public’s perception.

The Showmance Accusations
Both Nathan and Rosie admitted that the accusations of their relationship being a “showmance” were tough to handle, especially given that their connection was very real.
“It was a bit mad, honestly. There were a lot of negative things being said about us,” Nathan recalled. “But I thought, ‘Why would anyone think it’s not real?’ I was just so shocked when people started calling it a ‘showmance.'”
Rosie echoed Nathan’s sentiment, expressing her surprise at how their natural chemistry was being viewed. “I thought because we were so awkward, especially me, why would anyone think that was fake? If we were trying to pull something off, it wouldn’t have been like that,” she laughed.
Despite the rumors, Nathan and Rosie were resolute in defending the authenticity of their relationship. “It’s not false. We know that,” Nathan said firmly. “We weren’t trying to play any games. This was real, and if people want to call it a ‘showmance,’ then let them. We know the truth.”
However, the backlash wasn’t easy for Rosie, especially after her shocking eviction during the controversial Vault twist. The days that followed were a whirlwind of questions and doubts from both fans and media about the authenticity of her and Nathan’s connection.
Eviction Shock and Emotional Struggles
The pair both admitted that Rosie’s eviction was one of the hardest moments they faced in the Big Brother house, not just because of the twist, but because of how they were perceived afterward.
“I was devastated when Rosie left,” Nathan said. “The cameras didn’t show how upset I was. I broke down in the storeroom, and no one saw it. They just showed me moving on like it didn’t matter, but it did. I was really struggling.”
Rosie added, “I wasn’t prepared for the way everything unfolded after my eviction. The questions, the accusations—it was a lot to take in.”
As the days went on, Nathan also opened up about his emotional reaction to Rosie’s exit. “I was upset, but I had to hold it together. I couldn’t just mope around, but it was tough. I didn’t want to be the guy who was seen as ‘moving on too quickly,’ but it was a difficult situation.”
The pair went on to share that the whole experience of leaving the house and facing public judgment was overwhelming. “We didn’t have control over how we were being portrayed, and it was really hard to cope with that,” Rosie explained. “You have no idea what’s being shown, and then you come out and everything you thought was real feels distorted.”
The Truth Behind the Fire Alarm Chat
One of the pivotal moments in Nathan and Rosie’s journey was their secret chat during a fire drill. At the time, they had no idea that the microphones would still pick up their conversation, but that chat became one of the biggest talking points when it aired.
“We didn’t think anyone could hear us,” Rosie said, laughing. “We thought the microphones were off. It was supposed to be a private moment, and we were just talking about how we felt. But then, of course, it got aired, and the whole world found out about us!”
Nathan added, “We didn’t expect that at all. We thought we were in a safe space outside the house where no one would be listening. But once it was out, we just decided to go with it.”
Despite the mishap, the couple was determined to explore their relationship in the house, even if it meant dealing with the awkwardness of having their personal moments shared with millions of viewers.
“We tried to keep things private at first,” Nathan explained. “But eventually, it became clear that we couldn’t hide it. So we just went for it. It was a little awkward, but it felt right.”
Life After the Show
Now that the Big Brother cameras are no longer watching their every move, Nathan and Rosie have had time to reflect on their relationship and the ups and downs of their journey. Both admit that the scrutiny they faced post-show has been challenging, but they’ve come out stronger on the other side.
“At first, it was hard to ignore the negativity,” Rosie admitted. “But Nathan helped me see the funny side of it all. He’s been so supportive, and that’s made everything a lot easier to handle.”
Nathan added, “I don’t mind criticism. It’s part of the package when you go on a reality show. But it’s hard when you hear nasty things about someone you care about. I couldn’t stand hearing people say things about Rosie that weren’t true.”
The couple also shared that, despite the distance between their respective homes, they have big plans for the future. “We’re definitely planning to move in together,” Nathan said. “It just makes sense. It’s hard with the distance, but we’ll figure it out.”
Rosie echoed Nathan’s sentiment, expressing her excitement about the future. “I think it’s a natural next step for us. We’ve been through so much together, and we want to be together.”
The Next Chapter
Looking ahead, Nathan and Rosie are excited about what the future holds. They’ve even discussed possible career plans, with both expressing interest in pursuing a career in radio together. “We’ve talked about it,” Rosie said. “It’s something we’re both interested in, and who knows? Maybe we’ll make it happen.”
For now, the couple is enjoying their time together and proving the doubters wrong. From their spontaneous trip to meet each other’s families to the deep connection they’ve built, Nathan and Rosie are showing the world that their romance is far from a “showmance.”
In the end, they want people to know that their relationship is real. “It’s not about what people say,” Nathan said. “It’s about us and what we know is true. We’re happy, and that’s all that matters.”
As for their next steps, Nathan and Rosie are taking it one day at a time, excited about what lies ahead. Whether it’s moving in together, pursuing new career paths, or simply enjoying each other’s company, it’s clear that their journey is just beginning.
