Big Brother returns tonight, Friday, 25 September, for the second live eviction of the 2026 series, with Pauline and Chelsey facing the public vote. Tonight’s episode starts at 9pm tonight on ITV2 and ITVX, remaining in its usual Friday night slot. The live eviction episode is scheduled to run for one hour and 35 minutes, finishing at 10.35pm. The longer episode gives viewers plenty of time for the latest action from the house before one of the nominated housemates is sent home.
Who Is Up for Eviction on Big Brother Tonight?
Pauline and Chelsey face tonight’s public vote after receiving six and five nominations respectively. One of them will leave the house during Friday’s live eviction, becoming the second contestant to be evicted from this year’s series after Millie became the first housemate to leave.
Pauline’s nominations have prompted plenty of discussion among viewers, while several of her fellow housemates questioned her behaviour during the nomination process. Chelsey also received criticism inside the house, putting both women at risk as the public decides who stays.
The eviction follows another busy week inside the Big Brother house, including Jedward’s visit and the hot-tub confrontation that viewers quickly dubbed “splashgate”. The 2026 series has already produced plenty of arguments and unexpected moments, and tonight’s extended episode should give viewers even more to talk about before the latest housemate leaves.
For CultureCues, this series of Big Brother has been giving us something to talk about almost every night, and we cannot wait to see what happens with tonight’s eviction. Pauline and Chelsey have both had a big presence in the house, so either result could change things considerably heading into the next week. Just remember to get the snacks ready because, in true Big Brother fashion, you do not want to miss a thing.
Big Brother starts at 9pm tonight, Friday 25 September, on ITV2 and ITVX and runs until 10.35pm.
