Leyla, Mike or someone else? Who gained the most followers on Instagram through “Celebrity Big Brother”?
After two weeks, the twelfth season of “Celebrity Big Brother” ended yesterday, with Leyla Lahouar (28) securing the trophy and 100,000 euros. But is the winner also the social media queen? Or was a fellow candidate able to attract the most new followers? Leyla Lahouar (28) had 852,000 followers on Instagram before “Celebrity Big Brother” started. A good two weeks later she has 913,000 fans on her account. Makes 61,000 more followers.
Her new fiancé Mike Heiter (32) – “Big Brother” had gently coerced him into proposing marriage in the container – had slightly more Instagram followers two weeks ago with 856,000. The most of all “PBB” candidates. It is now at 906,000. So his future wife has overtaken him. If you count the couple’s fans together, it’s no surprise that Layla was voted for by the most viewers after Mike was eliminated early on Monday.
A big loser of the season in 3rd place
In third place among the “PBB” participants with the most Instagram followers is a loser of the season. Elena Miras (32) had to leave the container for health reasons. She had to watch as her ex Mike proposed to his new Leyla. With growth from 697,000 to 752,000 followers, she is at least almost in the same league as her competitor and her ex on social media.
Fourth in the Insta ranking is the third-place finisher in the twelfth season. Influencer Matze Höhn (28) only improved slightly from 478,000 followers to 491,000.
Max Kruse (36) follows in 5th place. The footballer generated moderate growth from 473,000 to 488,000 followers. Sinan Movez (19) went from 307,000 Insta subscribers to 319,000. The TikToker is the king of followers on the competing platform with 2.6 million fans. Wildcard winner Sarah Wagner (28) also comes from the social media cosmos. With her partner she runs the channel “laberrhababer.official”, which had 214,000 followers before “Big Brother”. Now there are 231,000.
Jochen Horst can keep up with young reality stars
The “PBB” runner-up Jochen Horst (60) cannot keep up – neither in absolute numbers nor in terms of growth. While 253,000 people followed the actor on Instagram before “Celebrity Big Brother”, now there are at least 261,000. In the container, the “Balko” actor styled himself as a representative of the old world among digital natives, and he had and still has more followers than many young reality stars.
Verena Kerth (43) was only able to increase by around 2,000 followers, from 139,000 to 141,000. Cecilia Asoro (28) almost reaches her reality colleague Kerth with 140,000 subscribers. She started in “PBB” with only 112,000 Instagram followers.
Actress Mimi Fiedler (49) was able to improve from 108,000 Instagram subscribers to 126,000. “DSDS” pioneer Daniel Lopes (47) grew at a low level from 28,400 to 31,100.
Celebrity reporter Bea Peters (42) more than doubled her number of followers with 4,299 fans. Not much of an art, she started with only 1,800 followers. Still a strong percentage growth, although it remains at the bottom of the social media table.
Alida Kurras (47) deserves a special mention. With 15,900 followers, she remains in second to last place in the Insta ranking. But the 2000 “Big Brother” winner started with only around 2,000 Instagram subscribers. So she was able to increase her number of followers almost eightfold.
