Big Brother (British TV series) series 22
Updated: 5/24/2026, 7:03:55 PM Wikipedia source
Big Brother 2025, also known as Big Brother 22, was the twenty-second series of Big Brother. It was the third civilian series of Big Brother to air on ITV2 after ITV plc gained the rights to the format, and the fifth series to air on the network overall. The series began on 28 September 2025 and was again co-presented by AJ Odudu and Will Best, who also returned to host the companion show, Big Brother: Late & Live, whilst Marcus Bentley returned to narrate the show, having done so since its inception in 2000. The series was extended by a week, with a run of 48 days, making it the longest series to air on ITV to date. Due to financial issues, Virgin Media Television in Ireland did not broadcast this series, as it had done since the sixteenth series in 2015. It concluded on 14 November 2025, when Richard Storry was announced as the winner of the series, with Elsa Rae finishing as the runner-up. At 60 years old, Storry became the oldest winner of the civilian version of Big Brother in the United Kingdom.
