Who won the Big Brother 2025 final?

Richard Storry was announced as the winner of Big Brother UK Series 22 on the evening of 14 November 2025. The announcement came during a tense ITV2 broadcast that saw six finalists reduced to three before the final public vote was counted. According to Primetimer (recap and analysis outlet), the finale delivered “drama, alliances, tears, and house romance” — with Storry emerging as the public’s chosen champion.

Finalists

The final six housemates comprised Richard Storry, Elsa Rae, Jenny Baird, Cameron, Emily, and Tate. From those six, the field was narrowed to three — Storry, Rae, and Baird — before the final vote determined the outright winner, IndiaTimes reported.

Public vote results

Final placements were determined entirely by public vote, Primetimer confirmed. The exact breakdown of votes per housemate was not publicly released by ITV, but the outcome was decisive enough that Richard Storry was named winner without controversy at the live crowning moment.

Prize details

Richard Storry took home the standard prize of £100,000 with no cash bomb twist applied this season, IndiaTimes noted. The show departed from the classic cash bomb mechanic that had featured in previous years, making the 2025 payout a straightforward £100k.

Who was the Big Brother 2025 runner-up?

Elsa Rae finished as the runner-up of Big Brother UK Series 22, placing second behind Richard Storry after the final public vote was tallied on 14 November, Primetimer reported. She entered the final show alongside Storry and Jenny Baird before the three-person shortlist was resolved.

Runner-up profile

Rae was among the final six housemates who survived the weeks of nominations and live evictions leading up to the finale. She garnered significant audience support throughout the series but ultimately fell short of Storry’s vote count on the night. IndiaTimes documented the dramatic finale atmosphere, describing it as “tight” and packed with tension.

Final standings

The complete final rankings were: Richard Storry first, Elsa Rae second, Jenny Baird third, Cameron fourth, Emily fifth, and Tate sixth, Primetimer confirmed. All six positions were determined by cumulative public voting.

Who won Big Brother 27 in 2025?

Big Brother 27 refers to the American edition of the show, which operates independently from the UK version. As of November 2025, the US series had not concluded, and no winner had been named for Season 27. The UK winner, Richard Storry, is tied specifically to Series 22 of the UK franchise — Big Brother Wiki confirmed he won the UK season, not any international variant.

US vs UK differences

The UK and US versions of Big Brother have separate production teams, broadcasters, schedules, and voting mechanisms. UK Series 22 aired on ITV2 with a November 2025 finale; the US season runs on a separate calendar under Paramount+ and had not reached its conclusion point by the time this article was published.

Season 27 details

US Big Brother Season 27 featured its own cast, eviction order, and format twists. Viewer interest in both versions spikes whenever the seasons overlap chronologically, but the shows are not directly comparable beyond the shared “Big Brother” branding and core social-game format.

Who won “I’m a Celebrity Big Brother” in 2025?

“I’m a Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here!” is a separate ITV programme with its own distinct format and season, unrelated to the main Big Brother UK series. Richard Storry did not compete on that show. The Celebrity edition of Big Brother — a hybrid format that ran briefly in previous years — was not part of the 2025 UK broadcasting slate as covered by Primetimer’s season recap.

Celebrity edition final

Any winner of a celebrity-focused Big Brother spin-off in 2025 would have aired on ITV with its own cast, timeline, and prize structure. None of the research sources confirmed a separate Celebrity Big Brother winner in the same year as Richard Storry’s Series 22 victory.

Separate from main series

Audiences frequently conflate the two shows because both carry the “Big Brother” name and appear on ITV. The main UK Big Brother and its celebrity counterpart are produced as distinct seasons with separate casts, themes, and airing windows.

The distinction matters for accuracy: searching for a “Celebrity Big Brother 2025 winner” will not return Richard Storry’s name, as he competed exclusively in the standard Big Brother UK Series 22.

Who won Big Brother 2025 in order?

The official final rankings for Big Brother UK Series 22 placed Richard Storry first, Elsa Rae second, and Jenny Baird third, with Cameron, Emily, and Tate rounding out the final six in fourth through sixth positions respectively, Primetimer confirmed. This order was determined by cumulative public voting across the season’s final phase.

Full eviction order

Beyond the final six, the full eviction timeline for Series 22 is documented on the Big Brother Wiki (community-maintained records). Earlier evictions eliminated housemates one by one in weekly live shows before the final broadcast on 14 November 2025.

Top housemates

Richard Storry entered the house as the oldest male housemate to ever compete on Big Brother UK, according to community records, Big Brother Wiki noted. He is also a composer and author from London per IndiaTimes, and he spoke openly about his Christian faith guiding him through the experience in a post-win interview with Premier Christianity.

The pattern: the top three finishers all survived multiple nomination cycles and live evictions, but Storry’s victory stood apart — not for drama or social gameplay theatrics, but for the sheer surprise of a 60-year-old outperforming a younger field in a public vote.

“Big Brother UK shocks fans as 60-year-old Richard Storry becomes the show’s oldest-ever winner.”

“Richard Storry opens up about his unexpected win — and how his faith guided him through every twist.”
