BIG BROTHER TONIGHT: FULL RUNDOWN, THURSDAY 30 OCTOBER 2025

Here's a full rundown of what to expect in tonight's episode of Big Brother, which continues on ITV2 and ITVX.

BAD BROTHER TAKES OVER THE HOUSE AS HOUSEMATES PREPARE FOR TWISTED TESTS

The Housemates are woken up to a new House in this week's shopping task, one that has been taken over by Bad Brother.

Bad Brother says, “Listen up, Maggots, get your sorry selves to the Living Room right now. You do not want to keep me waiting… Listen up you bunch of pathetic low lifes. This is no longer Big Brother, this is Bad Brother.”

“Bad Brother is here to make sure you all have a very bad day. It’s no use asking Big Brother for help because I have locked him away inside a box in the Garden. If you want to end your bad day and win a luxury shopping budget, it’s up to you pathetic bunch to set him free.”

Bad Brother tells the Housemates that in order to release Big Brother, they must complete Bad Brother’s twisted tests to win keys. There are 20 keys but only one will unlock the chains and set Big Brother free.

Bad Brother says, “If you fail this task, you will face the wrath of Bad Brother and trust me, you do not want this to happen…”

Farida, Richard and Teja are assigned as Bad Brother’s Henchmen and are called to Bad Brother’s Bad Basement.

Bad Brother says, “Henchmen, it is your duty to assist Bad Brother in all of his bad biddings today. You must ensure your Housemates have an extraordinarily bad day.”

Richard says, "Splendid, we shall so do.”

Bad Brother continues, “To help you learn that it’s good to be bad, you will dine on luxury meals for the rest of the day.”

Teja says, “I’m going to rule with an iron fist today.”

Farida says, “I’m feeling wicked.”

In the Garden, the Housemates are visiting Big Brother. 

Big Brother says, “Housemates, can you hear me?”

Jenny says, “It’s Jenny, I’ll get you out.”

Big Brother continues, “Housemates, it will be horrible if he’s left in charge.”

Caroline asks, “But what do you want us to do?”

Big Brother says, “Let me out and I’ll give you the luxury shopping budget of your dreams… you’re just going to have to do whatever Bad Brother says.”

Will the Housemates be able to live under the rule of Bad Brother in order to rescue Big Brother?

EMILY RECEIVES BAD NEWS FROM BAD BROTHER

Bad Brother says, “Welcome back to Bad Brother’s Basement, Henchmen. Before you is a telephone that will connect you to the other Housemates. Every bad call will result in a bad outcome for one Housemate. Let the game begin.”

Bad Brother leads his Henchmen through a series of bad calls. For the final bad call Bad Brother says, “Bad Brother wants you to call the Housemate that you want to have bad news…”

Teja says, “Anyone is gonna be f****d off by that. The only person I feel comfortable to do that to is Emily...”

Farida makes the call to the Housemates, “Emily, you are getting bad news.”

Emily says, “Bad news? F**k, that doesn’t sound promising. What does that mean? F**k.”

Marcus says, “This is AJ & Will.”

Emily says, “No can you actually not, I think it might be that.”Caroline says, “It could be that.”

Emily says, “Oh don’t, I actually feel sick.”

Back in the Bad Basement, Richard says, “Right, you’ll have to do it. I’m not doing it, you have to do it. I can’t bear this, I can’t bear it.”

What bad news will Bad Brother’s Henchmen deliver to Emily?

THE HOUSEMATES TALK ABOUT GAME PLAYERS IN THE HOUSE

Teja, Zelah, Marcus, Tate and Cameron are in the Snug.

Teja says, “That little group, Nancy, Sam and Caroline, she don’t f**k with Richard, okay it’s clear to see… it’s not a joke anymore, she does not rate the guy.”Zelah says, “And it’s getting to the point where it’s just mean.”

Teja says, “...it’s getting to the point where it’s quite mean and it’s influencing nominations because, think about the people that nominated Richard and their reasons. Sam and Nancy, and they’ve said, they think he’s a game player and they think he’s this and that. Things that are coming from Caroline’s mouth.”

Zelah says, “Playing the game in here, you know what I respect it because we’re in a game show, however you can’t have it two ways. You can’t be annoyed at someone for playing a game but also be self-proclaimed playing the game… I’m actually gonna go talk to Sam because I feel like that’s a good conversation to have.”

Zelah pulls Sam to chat. Zelah says, “...there’s nothing wrong with playing a game in here and people are transparent about it, absolutely fine. However, you recently nominated someone for playing a game and now you’re talking about, and you’re really good friends with probably the person who is openly, the biggest game player in the House and you don’t have a problem with them doing it. And also today we found out you were talking about playing the game.”

Zelah continues, “So why is it fair for you to nominate people for playing a game… if you're also doing the same thing and okay with other people doing it?”

Big Brother continues tonight at 9pm on ITV2 and ITVX.
