George Gilbert for Big Brother 2025 / ITV
Age: 23
From: Braintree
Occupation: Parish Councillor
Why did you apply to be on the show?
“I applied to meet people from different walks of life and to get the opportunity to chew the fat with them. I think you’ve got to try new things, and Big Brother looks like a laugh. I think I’d be good in there so I might as well throw my name into the hat.”
What will you bring to the house?
“I’m always happy to play devil’s advocate and I will contest people’s views on things. I’ll definitely be exorcising that element of critical thinking. But also, I feel like I’m quite good at cracking a joke – I will be the life and soul of the party.”
Do you have a strategy?
“No. I think just be yourself because if the cameras are on 24/7 there’s no chance you can actually continue with some sort of persona you’ve created, so be yourself.”
What would you do with the prize money if you won?
“My first and foremost priority would be getting my parents mortgage-free because that sort of thing matters”
Big Brother airs Sunday to Friday at 9pm on ITV2.
