Storm Forces Big Brother to Move First Live Eviction Indoors

Producers cite safety after amber wind warnings for Storm Amy from the Met Office.

Overview

  • A Big Brother spokesperson confirmed the live eviction will now take place on the Big Brother: Late & Live set with no outside broadcast.
  • The evicted housemate will leave via the Late & Live studio without an outdoor crowd or presenters AJ Odudu and Will Best.
  • The Met Office issued amber wind alerts with forecasters warning of damaging gusts around 100mph and potential disruption in parts of the UK.
  • The Mirror reports the show remains scheduled for 9pm with efforts to accommodate audience members, while the Daily Star claims the 9pm slot was pulled, leaving the timing in dispute.
  • This series introduced a vote-to-save system rather than voting to evict, adding significance to the first eviction under the new format.
