Big Brother fans stunned by X-rated moment in live launch show as new contestants arrive

Viewers sat down to watch the first 2025 show of Big Brothertonight, with a big twist revealed.

Fans sat down to watch a fresh group of contestants enter the Big Brother house at 9pm on ITV2, but before long many had already flocked to social media after one contestant sparked fury amongst watchers at home.

When new housemate Tate was introduced to viewers, he revealed works as a Butler In The Buff - someone who works as waiter at parties whilst naked. To illustrate what his job is like, the Scottish contestant turned around to reveal his naked bottom.

Online, the naked bottom has been covered by the Big Brother eye, but on the live show, the whole thing was visible. Fans swarmed to X to share their shock.

"Was not expecting to see arse tonight big brother," one wrote above a gif of a man doing a surprised double take. "I’m trying to watch big brother.. why is there a man’s arse on my screen?" asked another.

Big Brother celebrates its 25th birthday this year and three years of being aired on ITV. Since the show first aired on Channel 5 in 2000, it has seen strangers from across the UK head into a house together to compete to see who can last the longest without the other housemates evicting them. Housemates have to undertake elaborate tasks to earn prizes and avoid punishments.

As part of the 25th birthday celebrations, the network have completely revamped the Big Brother house, including the iconic diary room and chair.

AJ Odudu, who will return as a host of the show alongside Will Best, said she was excited to see the new chair and promised this series would be as "dynamic" as ever: "We’re all excited to see the new diary room chair and how the house has been tweaked. Bigger? Smaller? Who knows! But what’s certain is another dynamic and exciting series."

Will was just as excited about the next series, especially since ITV have massively shaken up the series by adding an extra week to its run. "Bring on the housemates, bring on seven weeks, and bring on a happy 25th anniversary to Big Brother! I think [audiences will] be happy about the extra week," Will said.

"Last series could easily have gone on longer, so this will be a nice touch. But the exciting thing is, we never really know what’s going to be new. Fans are already buzzing from the trailer and the Big Brother eye reveal."
