Who is Elsa Rae?
Elsa Rae is a TikToker and member of the 2025 Big Brother cast.
21-year-old content creator Elsa Rae is no stranger to the limelight — she is the ex-girlfriend of controversial internet personality Ed Matthews.
Elsa regularly appeared alongside the best pal of HSTikkyTokky in his TikTok livestreams and videos.
These often captured the former couple as they went about their day, including clips of them travelling together and Ed helping Elsa brush her hair.
She has also built up a big following in her own right, with more than 125,000 fans on both TikTok and Instagram, as of September 2025.
She also boasts over 2.7 million likes and almost 50,000 followers on TikTok.
Before entering the Big Brother house, Elsa told ITV: “I saw an advertisement to apply on TikTok, and I thought, ‘okay, I’m just going to apply.
“Like, I’m just going to do it’. I feel like you’re only 21 once. And why not!”
She thinks her fellow housemates and fans of the show may be surprised to learn she has a ‘tomboy side’.
She told BB producers: “But I’m not sure if people are going to get to see that in the House. Also, my spiritual side. I’ve recently become religious.”
What is Ed Matthews’ boxing record?
Ed has a boxing record of 2-2-0. This means he has fought four times, winning two, losing two and drawing none.
He has a knockout ratio of 50 per cent.
Ed’s first fight was against Simple Simon.
The fight came about after a beef between Ed and Simon, which originated from Matthews accusing Simon of exploiting the career of Cal The Dragon to further his own ambitions.
Things got heated when Ed mentioned Simon’s daughter and ex-wife during the build up to the fight.
The actual fight ended with Ed knocking out Simple Simon in 48 seconds of the first round, with the referee counting Simon out after suffering a heavy knockdown.
Since this initial win Ed was beaten twice, once by Blueface the rapper and again by Luis Pineda.
However as a professional he has one win under his belt, which came against Swarmz in October 2023.
