description: The housemates are here!
encoded: We're almost a full month into the ongoing season of Big Brother – and another two housemates have now been evicted from the show. Farida and Zelah became the latest two housemates to be evicted during Friday night's live eviction, after they received the fewest votes of the three housemates at risk, while Richard lives the fight another day. That made them the sixth and seventh housemates to leave the show in all, although of course one of them – Emily – ended up being reinstated to the house in a shock twist. In all there are now 11 contestants still in the house. We imagine that all sorts of other shocking twists are going to be in store for those remaining before the season wraps up and the next winner of the series is crowned. So who is still in the running to win in Big Brother 2025? Read on for everything you need to know about the cast. Big Brother 2025 cast Teja Sam Cameron Caroline Elsa Emily - Evicted but then reinstated Gani - Evicted Jenny Marcus Nancy Tate Zelah - Evicted Cameron B - Evicted Feyisola - Evicted George - Removed Richard Farida - Evicted Scroll on to learn more about the cast Teja Age: 18 Location: Bristol Job: Cleaner Teja applied for Big Brother for the cash prize, as well as experience, but the money would be a game changer for the 18-year-old. Her bubbly attitude and cooking skills is what Teja will bring to the house, noting she's not a gourmet chef but can definitely feed the house when they get hungry! "I'm a cleaner so will be able to keep the house tidy," she said. "I'm very competitive and I'm good at games so I think I would be good at whatever tasks I’m faced with." If Teja were to win and taking home the cash prize she would "definitely" put a deposit down on a house, either in Bristol or Newport. Sam Age: 27 Location: Bradford Job: Zumba instructor Sam has always wanted to go on Big Brother, and is happy to be giving his mum a break by being out of the house. He is planning to bring "a lot of fun" and energy into to the hous…

description: Four housemates have now exited the Big Brother house.
encoded: Big Brother is in full swing, and Friday's (31st October) episode of the hit ITV series saw two housemates leave the show after the latest live eviction. With housemates Farida, Zelah and Richard all facing the public vote, ultimately it was the former pair who had to pack their bags after hosts Will Best and AJ Odudu revealed they had received the fewest votes. That takes the total of exits to seven, with six evictions including this shock double on Halloween. Earlier in October, contestant George Gilbert was removed from the Big Brother house earlier due to "repeated use of unacceptable language and behaviour". But which housemates have been evicted so far? Read on to find out who has left the Big Brother 2025 house. Who left Big Brother 2025? Zelah Glasson – Episode 30 Zelah swiftly followed Farida out of the house but received a much colder response from the waiting crowd, who booed the personal trainer upon his exit. He laughed off the reaction, saying: "I don’t think they like me. I don’t know what to say. I’ve forgotten how to speak." Farida Khalifa – Episode 30 A shock double eviction saw Farida depart the house to cheers from the waiting crowd. Her first words upon exiting the house were: "Are you ready for the tea? I’m so happy to be out, but I had the most amazing time." She looked shocked and delighted to be out in the real world following a tense final day in the house that saw her banished ahead of Richard, who was dubbed the 'Antichrist' by fellow housemate Caroline. Feyisola – Episode 24 In the third live eviction of the season, it was Feyisola's turn to pack her bags after AJ Odudu and Will Best revealed she had received the fewest votes of the four candidates up for eviction – who also included Tate, Teja and Nancy. "I'm up against three amazing people," she told AJ and Will following her eviction when asked why she thought she got the fewest votes. "It is what it is." Cameron B - Episode 12 The second live eviction of the season saw Cameron B leav…

description: Could this be the show's most shocking twist so far?
encoded: The two former housemates who will be re-entering the Big Brother house during tonight's (17th October) live show have finally been confirmed. In the show's latest twist, what the current crop don't know is that the eviction due to take place during tonight's episode is actually fake and neither Sam nor Nancy, who are up for elimination, will actually be leaving the house. Instead, whoever out of the pair receives the most votes will move into a secret room and be joined by two previous contestants. Those former housemates have now been announced as this season's Emily and the first evictee of ITV’s debut Big Brother series, Farida – giving two of Big Brother’s ‘gone too soon’ housemates another shot at the original social experiment. Nancy and Sam are facing 'eviction' after receiving the most votes from their fellow cast members, with Nancy receiving seven nominations from Cameron, Feyisola, Jenny, Marcus, Richard, Teja and Zelah. Whilst, Sam received four nominations from Elsa, Jenny, Marcus and Tate, a revelation that saw them both reduced to tears. Emily was the first to be eliminated from the 2025 series on the show's launch night after she and fellow housemates Sam and Caroline, were forced to choose between them who would be sent home. Emily has admitted that since her exit she has been avidly watching the show and described the contestants as "cliquey". On her return to the house, she said: "It’s just so funny. Once again, another plot twist, I’m full of plot twists. I’m so excited – I’m really raring to go. Very grateful to do it all over again – not many people can say that!" Commenting on how she thinks the rest of the housemates will react to the twist, she added: "I think they’ll be shocked and surprised. I just can’t wait to see everyone. They seemed really nice for the one minute I knew them. I think they’re going to be very excited. They should be excited!" Similarly, Farida was the first to exit the house during her season of Big Brother which aire…

description: George will appear in tonight's episode but his comments will not be aired.
encoded: ITV has confirmed that George Gilbert has been removed from the Big Brother house. A spokesperson for Big Brother said in a statement: "Following repeated use of unacceptable language and behaviour, George has been removed from the Big Brother house with immediate effect and will no longer participate in the programme." RadioTimes.com understands that George will appear in tonight's episode of Big Brother but his comments will not be aired because they go against broadcast standards. The contestant had previously been issued with a formal warning after making comments about fellow housemate Sam Ashby. It is understood that George had also been given a number of additional warnings for unacceptable language, but most were not broadcast apart from one during Monday night's episode. George was one of the housemates due to face eviction this week. It is still set to go ahead with new details explained during tonight's Late & Live episode. During Monday night's episode (6th October), George was called to the Diary Room to speak about his behaviour the night before. View oEmbed on the source website Big Brother said: "During a game of Truth or Dare, when asked about your least favourite qualities of other housemates, you said the following, 'Sam, um too…'. You then went on to mimic Sam using both noises that mocked the way Sam talks and body language that included limp wrists. "Do you understand how both your language and behaviour could be offensive to Sam, your housemates and the viewing public?" George replied: "We did have a conversation about this, Sam pulled me to one side. I have apologised. I don't want to make anyone feel like that, so I will be walking on eggshells around Sam from here on in." Big Brother continues tonight at 9pm on ITV2 and ITVX.

encoded: When it came to the final dumping of the series, Love Island didn't hold back! It was time for past Islanders to have their say on who should remain the villa as a number of them all returned to the villa once more to give their verdict on who was the least compatible. In the clear were Harry and Shakira, Jamie and Yasmin and Cach and Toni – but for Dejon and Meg and Angel and Ty, their time in the villa was hanging by a thread. One by one, the returning Islanders had to vote for which couple they believed was the least compatible and for one couple, their chance to make it to the final was taken from them. So, who was dumped from the Love Island villa? Read on to find out who has left Love Island 2025. Who was dumped from Love Island last night? All the past contestants from season 12 So far, 28 contestants have been dumped from Love Island. Dejon Noel-Williams - DUMPED in episode 48 As part of the final dumping, a number of previously dumped Islanders all returned to the villa to give their verdict on which couple they believed the be the least compatible. The couple who received the most votes was then dumped from the Island, and for Dejon and Meg, their time in the villa was over as they just missed out on the final. "It feels great to be leaving the villa, I came here to find love and that’s what I’ve got," Dejon said of his exit. "I’ve found Meg, I’m leaving with a girlfriend and in love. I couldn’t leave happier." Megan Moore - DUMPED in episode 48 Alongside Dejon, Megan's time in the villa came to an end. Megan said she was "definitely ready to go and leave" with Dejon following her exit, admitting that it got to a point "where we were ready to go and do life on the outside world". She added: "We weren’t shocked, especially being so close to the end and how things had ended after our date. As soon as we saw the former Islanders come back, we knew we would be going.

description: It's getting hot in here!
encoded: Olivia Attwood is proving to be a mainstay on television screens across the nations as she returns to ITV2 with a brand new series. Titled The Heat, the 10-part series follows a group of young ambitious chefs who travel to Barcelona to work under multi-Michelin Star award-winning chef Jean-Christophe Novelli. Novelli is opening an exclusive summer restaurant at the glamorous Port Vell Marina and is on a mission to find the next rising star. Jean-Christophe Novelli said: "I couldn’t be more thrilled to join this new exciting show and help spotlight the next generation of culinary talent. "Known for my drive and intensity in the kitchen, I’ll be using my passion and unique teaching style to push these young chefs to dig deep, stay sharp, and prove they have what it takes to grow, evolve, and make their mark. "I'll mentor them to use all five senses together and put it all on the plate, the right way. It’s going to be a wild ride, and I know we’ll discover some true culinary stars along the way. I’m ready. Let’s do this. Allez, Allez – bon appétit!" But this isn't just any old cooking competition, as when the kitchen service is over, the cameras keep rolling and will follow the contributors as they live, work and compete with one another. As teased by ITV, viewers can expect post-shift dates, staff nights out and more – as the cooks blend both their professional and personal lives, which is a recipe for trouble. The series is hosted by Attwood, who will be keeping a close eye on the chefs, offering insight, gossip and the occasional reality check for those who need it. Attwood said of The Heat: "It is such an honour to host this brand-new format for ITV2 and ITVX, being at the helm of something this fresh and exciting is a total pinch-me moment!" Throughout the series, the chefs will realise that no one is safe as they battle it out in a bid to climb the kitchen ranks. Prepare yourselves for "promotions, demotions, power plays, sackings and shock decisions", as The Hea…

description: He met his wife Olivia on season 2 in 2016 – now they have their second child on the way.
encoded: A shorter version of this article first appeared in Radio Times magazine. This year, dating reality TV show Love Island celebrates a decade since its reboot. One of its most successful couples – in life and love – Alex Bowen, 34 from Wolverhampton, and Olivia, 31 from Chelmsford, will welcome their second child this year, after meeting on the show in 2016 and finishing as runners-up. The former Islanders have been married for almost seven years, have built a property empire named The Bowen Homes Ltd and previously ran a clothing brand named Exempt Society. Alex describes the decision to go on Love Island as “the best decision I’ve ever made”. His story began while he was working as a scaffolder. On a rainy day, he received a text message while covered in mud offering him a place on the second season of Love Island – his boss said his job would be waiting for him if he wanted it, so off he went. And the rest is reality TV history. So what’s the secret to going the distance as a Love Island couple? “You just have to work for everything, you know. Nothing good comes easy,” Alex tells Radio Times exclusively. Entering the villa as a bombshell, Alex’s mission was to make waves, but he can still remember the first time he saw Olivia – and it’s kind of X-rated. “When I walked into the villa, they were all in bed, and the curtains opened and there was Liv’s bum,” he laughs. “And I thought, ‘That’s quite nice.’” He recalls that the intensity of the bonds you build with fellow Islanders in the villa is difficult to explain to someone who hasn’t experienced it. “There are no clocks on the walls,” he says. “You’re in a mad bubble so you're forced to talk to each other. The conversations that you'd probably have six months down the line you're having two days in. It’s a very weird thing.” By the day of the final, Alex knew how he felt about Olivia. Unfortunately, his attempt at declaring his love didn’t go smoothly. “I knew I loved her, so I said it, but she didn’t hear me!” he …

description: Will they be able to continue their journey on the outside?
encoded: Love Island has confirmed that Harrison Solomon and Lauren Wood will reunite in tonight's episode of Aftersun after the couple both left the villa in emotional scenes. Last week, bombshell Angel Swift entered the villa which saw Lauren's time on the show come to an end after Angel coupled up with Ty Isherwood, leaving Lauren single and therefore dumped. There were plenty of tears as Lauren had previously been in a couple with Harrison, but they were subsequently split up when Toni Laites chose to couple up with him, as Harrison had been swapping between the two. Lauren had begged Harrison to leave with her, but he insisted he needed more time to think, and after confiding in Dejon Noel-Williams and Harry Cooksley about his decision, he opted to leave the villa. "I genuinely see myself being with her on the outside, I see a long-term girlfriend with Lauren and I feel like I'm not gonna find anyone that even comes close to her in here," Harrison told the boys. With Lauren and Harrison now back in the UK, the pair will reunite for the first time on screen tonight (20th July). ITV teased: "Tonight's Love Island: Aftersun will showcase the emotional reunion between Harrison and Lauren, after he dramatically chose to leave the Villa following Lauren being dumped from the Island." The pair will also be in the studio to discuss their Love Island journey, alongside other dumped Islanders Ben Holbrough, Adrada Pop, Tommy Bradley and Lucy Quinn. Reflecting on his decision to leave, Harrison said he was "happy" and stands by it, albeit being sad to leave the other Islanders. "It's all I've known for four and a half weeks," he said. "It was the best summer of my life, I had some amazing times in there. I did obviously regret a few things I did but I loved the experience, I can't fault it." It was after Lauren left the villa that Harrison realised his experience "just wasn't the same". He continued: "I felt like my journey was finished which is why I decided to leave. When Lauren…

For some of the Islanders, their connections have been tested, while others have been having a grand old time due to being in friendship couples in the main villa. As teased by ITV, a text lands on Ben's phone which sends shockwaves through Casa Amor, and in the main villa, Meg receives the same message which sparks nerves and mounting anticipation. And that can only mean one thing... So, when is Casa Amor coming to an end? Read on for what we know about Casa Amor so far. When does Casa Amor end on Love Island season 12? It seems to be the question on the audience's mind, and we can confirm that Casa Amor comes to an end tonight, on Wednesday 9th July. After two days apart, the Islanders' relationships are put to the ultimate test as they decide whether to stick with their current partner or twist and recouple with a Casa Amor bombshell. ITV has teased that Maya Jama will once more make an epic return to the villa as she addresses the group: "Could the connections you've already formed before Casa survive anything, or could that anything be with somebody else?" When did Casa Amor return? Casa Amor returned on Sunday 6th July, as the girls remained in the main villa and the boys were whisked away to the separate villa, which had previously been used for a cheeky sleepover for a few of the bombshells and OG Islanders. During a tour of the villa prior to the launch of season 12, Mike Spencer-Hayter told RadioTimes.com and other press, "We've had one every year," while not directly confirming that it was returning. However, he did reveal that this season would have over 50 bombshells, which would make sense for a Casa Amor return. When pressed on if the twist was returning, the creative director added: "I think people love Casa still, I think it is a format point, and we do lots of format po…

The iconic challenge returned earlier this week, which saw the Islanders put on saucy performances for one another, all with the intention of raising someone's heart rate the most, which left one Islander in hot water. Harry Cooksley, who is currently coupled up with Shakira Khan, had his heart rate raised the most by former flame Helena Ford and vice versa. Tonight (1st July), Shakira admits: "I’m not mad at you, you’ve not done anything wrong because you actually were really respectful, it’s just annoying as you barely touched each other." Keen to reassure Shakira, Harry replies: "I was out of breath with yours… I had my heart beating out of my chest." And while the heart rate challenge was over, Love Island has promised that passion is still burning at the mini firepit as two unexpected Islanders share a steamy kiss! The following morning, Alima Gagigo, Shakira and Yasmin Pettet debrief on the night's events, and Alima reveals: "Helena whispered in his ear, 'I can’t wait to f*** you,' and I think that’s the reason why his heart went like that. He knew that she whispered that and I think he should have told you last night…" And Shakira is not impressed as she rages: "Now I know why everyone's f****ng whispering and laughing and expecting me to kick off at him. Helena can f*** off!" In the snug, Shakira confronts Harry, but will he come clean?
