Big Brother UK 2025
Big Brother UK 2025 is the show’s 22nd civilian series (yep, time flies), and it’s back on ITV2 with hosts AJ Odudu and Will Best returning for more witty banter, slightly chaotic live evictions, and the classic eye logo making yet another mysterious reappearance.
What’s always struck me about Big Brother is how—despite the format being so simple, toss strangers in a house with cameras and let the chaos unfurl—it somehow manages to feel fresh every year. Maybe it’s the unpredictable mix of housemates (last season’s vegan bodybuilder mixed with the self-styled “Essex princess” was… a vibe).
The new series is set to be the longest ITV run yet—seven whole weeks of shifting alliances, tactical voting, and, hopefully, a few iconic meltdowns.
If you’re like me, you might have a love/hate relationship with some of the infamous Big Brother “twists.” There’s always one week I end up ranting to friends: “No way, they can’t evict two people at once!” But secretly, I wouldn’t change a thing. It’s classic comfort TV with unpredictable bite.
When Does Big Brother 2025 Start?
Big Brother UK 2025 is expected to begin on either Sunday, September 28th or Monday, September 29th, 2025. ITV hasn’t inked the date in stone just yet, but that late-September window has become a reliable slot ever since the reboot. So, yeah, I’m already planning to order takeaway for launch night and basically treat it as a bit of a holiday.
Am I going to drag my flatmate into watching the start with me, even though she claims “it’s just people sitting around all day?” Absolutely.
Each episode will air Sunday to Friday, with live evictions on Fridays at 9pm (ITV’s not messing with tradition), and companion coverage in “Big Brother: Late & Live” for those of us who need just a little more analysis—and maybe a few memes—before bed.
Seven weeks is one more than last year, so if you get emotionally invested in housemate drama, you should probably warn family and friends now not to expect too much social energy until November.
Big Brother UK: Where to Watch
You’ll find Big Brother UK 2025 airing live on ITV2, with the option to stream anytime on ITVX—the convenient, totally free streaming hub for reality TV gluttons. If you sign up, you just need a valid UK postcode. No Netflix or Paramount Plus, which I know is a bummer for folks outside the UK (streaming rights: always a headache). ITVX also hosts past series, so there’s zero excuse not to catch up or rewatch that infamous hot tub argument from 2023.
- Live TV: ITV2 (Sunday-Friday, 9pm)
- Streaming: ITVX (free, just register with UK details)
- Companion Shows: Big Brother: Late & Live on ITV2/ITVX, plus live-stream coverage on ITVX and occasionally YouTube—yes, for those super fans who want to see housemates snore and eat cereal in real time.
Big Brother UK Cast
The cast for Big Brother UK 2025 hasn’t dropped yet, but the producers are teasing a line-up with even more unique, sometimes offbeat personalities. There’s always that one housemate whose hobby is "advanced cheese modeling" or who swears by their morning interpretive dance workout.
Part of the fun—guessing who’ll be the crowd favorite and who’ll end up in a thirty-minute argument over laundry rotations. The diversity of personalities is the real heartbeat of the show, and every year feels like a lucky dip.
Big Brother UK Hosts
AJ Odudu and Will Best are teaming up to host Big Brother UK 2025, bringing a fresh dynamic to screen. AJ’s warmth, energy, and quick humor mesh perfectly with Will’s laid-back style and knack for cheeky improvisation. Together, they steer the show through its emotional highs and lows, keeping live interviews snappy, unpredictable, and—sometimes—accidentally hilarious.
