Big Brother 20

Big Brother 2023, also known as Big Brother 20, was the twentieth series of Big Brother to air in the United Kingdom. It is the first series to air on ITV2 after ITV gained the rights to the series in August 2022, almost four years since it last aired on Channel 5. The series began on 8 October 2023, with a launch show airing simultaneously on both ITV (ITV1 and STV) and ITV2, with the remainder of the series broadcasting primarily on the latter channel. It is co-presented by AJ Odudu and Will Best, who also front the companion show Big Brother: Late & Live.

On 17 November 2023, Jordan Sangha was announced as the winner of the series, beating Olivia Young who finished as runner-up.  At 42 days, this was the shortest-running regular series of Big Brother in the UK, surpassing the seventeenth series, which lasted 50 days

to win
  • ^Note 1 : In the first week, there were no nominations. Instead, housemates were tasked with collecting “Big Coins”. The three housemates with the fewest faced the public vote.
  • ^Note 2 :   This housemate was nominated by the public, as they received the fewest votes in an app poll.
  • ^Note 3 : Week 2 introduced the Gamechanger. Each week, six Housemates will participate in the Gamechanger Competition for the Gamechanger Power – the ability to save a nominee from eviction. The nominees and the richest housemate would be guaranteed to play, with the remaining slots being allocated by the richest housemate to the housemates of his/her choice.
  • ^Note 4 : As new housemates, Hussain and Isabella were exempt from the nomination process. Tomasz bought immunity at the weekly auction but could still nominate.
  • ^Note 5 : Hussain won the “Absolute Power Nomination” in a secret auction, and was, therefore, able to anonymously choose a housemate to face eviction. He nominated Lewis F, who was also ineligible to play in the Gamechanger and could not be saved by the gamechanger.
  • ^Note 6 : This week there were two evictions. Following the regular eviction on Day 36, the remaining Housemates played a week’s worth of Big Brother — including Nominations, the Gamechanger competition and ceremony during the remainder of the live eviction show, culminating in a second eviction for the night. Cameron, as the richest housemate, had immunity for this second eviction, as well as the power to evict either of the Final nominees (Akeem or Isabella) from the house.
  • ^Note 7 : This week was positive nominations. As such, housemates were nominating who they wanted to stay rather than leave. The housemates with the fewest nominations would be nominated.
  • ^Note 8 : Week 6 was the final week in which the Gamechanger Power was in play. Additionally, the Final Gamechanger had the power to save two nominees, as opposed to one.
  • ^Note 9 : There were no nominations in Week 7. Instead, the phone lines opened for the public to vote for the winner. The phone lines froze on Day 50, and the two housemates with the fewest votes were evicted.
