Big Brother 2025 Crowns Its Shocked Champion
The winner of the highly anticipated Big Brother 2025 series has been revealed in a dramatic live finale on ITV, leaving the victor utterly stunned. After weeks of intense drama and unexpected twists, Richard was declared the champion, securing the life-changing £100,000 prize.
A Dramatic Journey to the Final
The road to the final was anything but straightforward. The series began with a total of 17 housemates, which included latecomers and surprise entrants, all vying for the title. This was whittled down to a final six: Cameron, Elsa, Emily, Jenny, Richard, and Tate.
The drama reached a fever pitch just before the finale with a shocking last-minute double back-door eviction. Marcus and Teja were sent packing following the final Wicked-themed task, narrowly missing their chance at the grand prize. The series was packed with rivalries, divisions, and heated debates, including one contestant who was booted out on the very first night only to make a surprising comeback and secure a final spot. Another was removed by Big Brother itself due to repeated rule violations.
The Nail-Biting Final Showdown
Hosted by the dynamic duo AJ Odudu and Will Best, the live grand finale on Friday, November 14, kept viewers on the edge of their seats. The public vote results were disclosed, revealing the final rankings one by one.
Tate finished in 6th place, followed by Emily in 5th, Cameron in 4th, and Jenny in 3rd. This set the stage for a tense head-to-head between the final two housemates: Richard and Elsa.
Before the ultimate result was announced, viewers were treated to a glimpse of the contestants' final hours in the iconic house, including their participation in Big Brother's traditional last supper. Emotional confessions were shared, with Cameron thanking his fellow housemates and Richard describing the experience as "the most bonkers, crazy, madcap, incredible, extraordinary thing" he had ever done.
A Stunned Winner and Fan Reactions
In a climactic moment, Will Best enthusiastically revealed that Richard had clinched the victory. AJ Odudu was the first to greet the new champion as he exited the house to thunderous cheers, now £100,000 richer.
Before leaving, Richard embraced imaginary housemates and addressed the house, saying, "Big Brother team it has been an absolute pleasure and delight. Good night and thank you." When AJ asked him how he felt about winning the entire series, the overwhelmed winner could only muster a two-word response: "Absolutely crazy."
Fans quickly took to social media to celebrate the result. One supporter posted, "Absolutely made up for Richard! He's been the most decent, genuine and authentic person in the Big Brother house this year! Well deserved!" Another highlighted his journey, noting he was a late arrival who entered without a crowd but left as the champion. A third fan remarked on his age, stating, "Huge congrats to Richard for winning this year's Big Brother, he has been such a brilliant housemate and he deserves to win especially being the oldest at 60."
Big Brother is available to stream on ITVX.
