Big Brother

Connery entered the second house on Day 1.^[1] As a collective, The Others were asked to target three housemates for the first eviction. On Day 1 they unknowingly targeted Laura, then on Day 2 they targeted Alex and then targeted Jackson on Day 3. On Day 13, she moved to the Main House for the first time after the two Houses merged together. On Day 21, she received 10 nominations from her fellow housemates, equalling the record of most nominations in a single week held by Big Brother 11's Sunshine, Big Brother 14's Dexter and Celebrity Big Brother 11's Heidi & Spencer. This therefore meant she was nominated for the third eviction. ^[2] She survived this eviction on Day 25.^[3] On Day 42, Connery was nominated once again by her fellow housemates, however in a twist on Day 43, she was saved from eviction and was replaced with Andy instead.^[4] Jayne became a fan favourite due to her no nonsense attitude and hilarious diary room entries.^[5] Jayne left the House on Day 50 the last day having triumphantly reached the finals.
