BIG BROTHER TONIGHT: FULL RUNDOWN, SUNDAY 11th OCTOBER 2026
Here's a full rundown of what to expect in tonight's episode of Big Brother, which continues on ITV2 and ITVX.
THE GC IS BACK IN THE BUILDING
Gemma’s surprise entrance on eviction night sends a wave of excitement through the House, with housemates left gobsmacked. She’s there for a short time, and she wants it to be a good time.
Speaking to Housemates, she says: “I think for the next 48 hours, can we just have fun?! Are you alright with that, Omar? You’re up for it? I ain’t gonna splash you in the hot tub, Lynx. It’s been 10 years since I was in this House.”
Gathering housemates and special house guest, Gemma, on the sofas, Big Brother says: “This is Big Brother. Your time in the House of Revelations is over. It’s time for a new House. Welcome to the House of…..Power. This week, power is everything. And what better way to kick off things than introducing the powerhouse that is Gemma Collins. Gemma - welcome back.”
Gemma: “Thank you for having me. It is so gorgeous to be back here. I’ve not spoken to you for 10 years. It’s the love affair that never ended.”
Speaking to Big Brother in the Diary Room later that evening, Gemma shares he thoughts about being back.
Gemma: “Hello Big Brother.”
Big Brother: “How are you?”
Gemma: “Do you know, just to be back in this House feels sensational.”
Big Brother: “Gemma, who are you most looking forward to getting to know in the House?”
Gemma: “I’ll be honest with you… I love Rob’s singing. I was so happy when he didn’t get evicted. To be fair, I love The Queen of Scotty Road, love Rochelle. Two of the girls farted around me - I don’t know if that was excitement or what people do these days. But that was a bit of a shock. No-one farts around the GC. Let’s have it right.”
Big Brother: “Gemma, what do you make of the house this week being the House of Power?”
Gemma: “Do you know what… It’s the House of Power, I’m a powerful woman and I’m so pleased you haven’t forgotten me 10 years on.”
Big Brother: “Big Brother can never forget you, Gemma.”
Gemma: “No, to be fair, no-one can forget me.”
THE HOUSE OF POWER EXPLAINED
Big Brother: “Housemates, as you know, this week is all about the power. Soon, the House will be split into two teams. In your teams, you’ll take on a series of tasks. At stake - power in the House. Gemma, stand behind the sofas facing the screen. Gemma, you must now pick two team captains.
Gemma: "I’m going to pick Sam - you need to embrace your inner power. And that is going to be you, honey. And I think I’m going to go with my dear, sweetie, Rob. Step into your power, boys.”
Sam and Rob choose who they want on their teams in preparation for the head-to-head battles that lie ahead.
The first task sees Frankie and Philip head to The Power Arena. In front of them are ten dice. Their challenge is to build a tower with the dice that must be freestanding for at least five seconds. Easy right? They soon find out that it’s harder than it sounds. But who will be victorious?
The winning team gets power of the House until the next game. They’re the only ones allowed to use the kettle, toaster, air fryer, hot tub and hair appliances. The losing team must do all the cleaning and are only allowed two minutes in the shower each. And finally, only the winning team is allowed to sit on the sofa. Will the losing team stick to the rules?
TENSION’S IN THE AIR - AND THE GC’S FEELING IT
Tensions are on the rise again in the House. And as the night progresses, it bubbles over and some housemates find themselves in the firing line.
Philip and Rochelle are the first to fall out. But it doesn’t last long and the pair quickly make up - much to the amusement of their fellow housemates.
Omar and Rhianna also have a tense conversation, which results in an upset Rhianna having to be consoled by Yasmin and Catrin.
And all this drama is a little too much for The GC.
Big Brother continues tonight at 9pm on ITV2 and ITVX.
