How to watch Big Brother UK (Season 22) 2025 online for *FREE*
The rumor mill has slipped into gear ahead of Sunday's live launch

A bumper season of Big Brother means more twists, more tasks and more live evictions. Will there be more money too? Presenters AJ Odudu and Will Best are keeping their powder dry ahead of the live launch.
You can watch Big Brother season 22 online from anywhere with a VPN and potentially for free.
Date and time: Premieres at 9pm BST on Sunday, Sep 28 (UK) |
Watch free: ITVX (UK) |
Ali Bromley won the last series, pocketing a cool £90,000 in the process. The forensic psychologist had drawn comparisons between the house and prison, and in hindsight the analogy was spot-on. She received just 10 nominations across the series, but youth mentor Marcello Spooks and aesthetics business owner Emma Morgan received just three and four respectively, en route to 2nd- and 3rd-place finishes.
With 42 episodes set to air across 48 days, this is the longest season of BBUK since season 18, which was the last to be fronted by Emma Willis. The word on the street is that, for the first time in nearly a decade, there could be more than 16 housemates.
Marcus Bentley, the iconic voice of Big Brother, is of course on narration duties. Each episode will be followed by Big Brother: Late & Live, with the live feeds going live on ITVX afterwards.
