\n After April\u2019s fiery run of Celebrity Big Brother, where Jack P Shepherd walked away with the crown, the iconic show returned with another season on Sunday night (September 28).\n<\/p>\n
\n Originally launched on Channel 4 in 2000 before shifting to Channel 5, the format got a full facelift in 2023 and has been thriving since its relaunch.\n<\/p>\n
\n Presenters AJ Odudu and Will Best are once again steering the ship, promising fans that this year will bring more mischief.\n<\/p>\n
\n 39-year-old Gani from Bromley is taking part in the ultimate social experiment on ITV.\n<\/p>\n
\n Gani, a proud Dua Lipa fan, had the daunting task of being the first housemate to walk in this series, which he did with confidence and slightly shaky legs.\n<\/p>\n
\n On the show, he said: “I am working right now as a night manager in Pizza Hut.\n<\/p>\n
\n “The pizza that I created myself has tuna, pineapple, rocket or chilli and oh my god it is lovely.\n<\/p>\n
\n “I am not just a good manager, I\u2019m the most funny manager.\n<\/p>\n
\n “I will play some nice Dua Lipa songs.\n<\/p>\n
\n “2022 I explored the sexuality of bi \u2013 I tried it and I loved it.\n<\/p>\n
\n “If you\u2019re given a dish you don\u2019t try, you don\u2019t know.”\n<\/p>\n
\n Gani will be joined by another south Londoner in the 2025 Big Brother house.\n<\/p>\n
\n Personal trainer Zelha, 25, from south London, shared in his opening VT that he\u2019s transgender.\n<\/p>\n

\n On the show, he said: “I constantly get compared to a spaniel dog.\n<\/p>\n
\n “I am pretty unbearable if I don\u2019t get my 12,000 steps a day.\n<\/p>\n
\n “I am half Indian, half English.\n<\/p>\n
\n “I think something people are usually are shocked to find out I lived as a woman for 23 years of my life.\n<\/p>\n
\n “I think I am living proof that being transgender is not a choice, because why would I chose to go from the luxury, the sanctuary that is the women\u2019s toilets to the horror that is the mens.\u201d\n<\/p>\n
\n In the 2024 series, audiences rallied behind forensic psychologist Ali Bromley, whose victory earned her \u00a390,000.\n<\/p>\n
\n At 38, she made history twice over: the oldest woman to ever win Big Brother UK, and the show\u2019s first openly lesbian champion.\n<\/p>\n
\n Ali outlasted fellow finalists Marcello Spooks, Segun Shodipo, Hanah Haji, Nathan King, and Emma Morgan – securing her spot alongside 2023 winner Jordan Sangha in the show\u2019s hall of fame.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"After April\u2019s fiery run of Celebrity Big Brother, where Jack P Shepherd walked away with the crown, the…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":477047,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3937],"tags":[77,382,16,15],"class_list":{"0":"post-477046","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-tv","8":"tag-entertainment","9":"tag-tv","10":"tag-uk","11":"tag-united-kingdom"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/115324516095986766","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/477046","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=477046"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/477046\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/477047"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=477046"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=477046"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=477046"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
