BIG BROTHER TONIGHT: FULL RUNDOWN, FRIDAY 23rd OCTOBER 2026
Here's a full rundown of what to expect in tonight's episode of Big Brother, which continues on ITV2 and ITVX.
NOMINATED HOUSEMATES REFLECT AHEAD OF TONIGHTS EVICTION
Over the day, each of the nominated Housemates, Twinks, Samuel, Catrin and Harry, talk to Big Brother ahead of tonight’s live eviction.
Twinks says, “...half of me wants to fight through and the other half is like lets pack our bags and get out of this… and then the other 50% is desperate to stay. If I do stay, maybe I can go on to make these peoples’ lives slightly more uncomfortable.”
Sam says, “...I’m feeling conflicted, um, part of me still feels like my journey isn't over. I’ve still got so much to do, so much to prove, so much to give… it has been a wondrous, truly, truly wondrous experience…”
Harry says, “...I really don’t want to go, especially when you’re so close to the end. I know everyone says you couldn’t wish it for a better group of people but I genuinely mean that. So if my time has come, then I’m happy with how it’s played out…”
Catrin says, “...I’m excited for whatever is gonna be… I’ve realised now exactly who my friends are in here, I’m hoping that two or three will be able to make it to the finale ‘cause I think as the lower-archy, we deserve more. Regardless though, I feel really lucky to do this.”
With the eviction looming, who will be the next Housemate to leave the Big Brother House?
Tune in to tonight's Live Eviction at 9pm on ITV2 and ITVX to find out!
BIG BROTHER FREEZES TIME AS FAMILY AND FRIENDS VISIT THE HOUSE
This week in the House of Time, Housemates have been taking on tasks to try to secure precious minutes with friends and family. Now the time has come to cash in on that time.
Big Brother says to the Housemates, “Your nearest and dearest are waiting for you.”
During their reunion in the Time Zone, Housemates will be frozen in time and not allowed to speak to their loved ones. Failure to comply with this rule will result in their time with friends and family ending immediately, as well as time being taken off from their fellow Housemates.
Sam’s father, Andrew, says, “Viva the revolution, I want you to take that hierarchy down…”
Frankie’s mother, Louise, says, “A lot of weight’s lifted off your shoulders…"
Philips’ friend Paul, says, “Tone down your voice a little bit. You can come across a bit, erm, abrupt.”
Yasmin’s friend, Lauren, says, “…keep standing on business with these people…"
Rochelle’s husband, Russell, says, “Right, listen to what I’m saying. There’s people in there that you need to keep away from…”
ROCHELLE REFLECTS ON HER VISIT FROM HER HUSBAND
Rochelle, Twinks and Harry are in the snug.
Rochelle says, “I’m so happy.”
Twinks says, “You’re welcome for those 30 extra seconds, Rochelle.”
Rochelle says, “Thank you.”
Twinks says, “You’re so welcome.”
Rochelle says, “I think out of here we’d be fine.”
Twinks says, “Sure.”
Rochelle says, “It’s just very intense in here.”
Harry says, “100%”
A few moments later, Rochelle says, “And Russell, he’s just put my head straight.”
Later, in the Diary Room, Rochelle is talking to Big Brother about her visit from her husband.
Rochelle says, “I don’t know what’s in store for us next week, if it’s a horrible week, but I want to try now, for the last couple of weeks, to enjoy it. And how have I even got here, just don’t know… And he’s told me what he wanted to tell me. To be nicer to people. It’s in my head now, so I’m gonna try hard.”
“I can’t help it, I am naturally a b***h, aren’t I, so it isn’t easy. But, I’m determined to keep my friends close and my enemies closer, as the saying goes. And that’s all I wanna say. But I’m not an idiot, anyway… believe it or not.”
Big Brother continues tonight at 9pm on ITV2 and ITVX.
