It’s always a bit overwhelming when a new series of Big Brother starts and we get introduced to a new batch of Housemates on night one in a complete and utter whirlwind.

Having said that, however, a few Big Brother 2025 Housemates have already made quite the impression on us and that certainly includes Sam, a 27-year-old Zumba instructor from Yorkshire.

We’re not the only ones that Sam’s made an impression on either; although we’re not sure if it’s for all the right reasons as viewers voted to give Sam an evil eye, which means that he already faces eviction alongside Caroline Monk and Emily Hewertson.
