For 25 years booing has been part and parcel of Big Brother, and while (on the whole) the audience were in good spirits on Big Brother 2025 launch night, the majority did turn on Housemate and 'patriotic Princess' Emily Hewertson after her opening night VT was played before the nation.

In her intro video Emily said to camera, 'I work for a political events company in Westminster and I joined the Conservative Party when I was 16.

'I've been for Christmas drinks at Boris Johnson's house.

'He's just like a big teddy bear to be honest.'

So, I think that could definitely play to my advantage, because they better watch out. I'm actually a lot cleverer.'
