The third housemate to be evicted from the 2025 Celebrity Big Brother house is Daley Thompson.
After fellow celebrities voted for Eastenders’ Patsy Palmer, 52, and Olympian Daley, 66, to go home on Thursday evening’s show, tonight the public vote decided the sportsman’s time was up.
Presenters AJ Odudu, 37, and Will Best, 40, welcomed the star back to the outside world, as they reflected on their time in the house.
The eviction comes after Trisha Goddard, 67, was eliminated on Wednesday, and former Tory MP Michael Fabricant, 74, the week before.
Earlier in tonight’s episode best pals Chris Hughes and JoJo Siwa were told by Big Brother to remember to use human toilets, after a task got particularly bizarre.
Viewers said they were ‘disgusted’ as the Love island star and the singer both urinated in a cat litter box provided by Big Brother.
For the odd game, the housemates started with nine lives and had to act like cats. This included prowling, stretching their paws, and even eating and drinking from cat bowls.

They were also tasked with chasing laser pointers and making catty comments about other housemates.
Elsewhere in the 2025 series, this year saw one of the ITV show’s most controversial housemates in actor Mickey Rourky, 72, who was booted out of the show after making a series of inappropriate comments even afer he was warned by Big Brother about his behaviour.
Rourke’s behaviour raised eyebrows from the launch night, when he admired host AJ’s figure and was labelled ‘creepy’ and ‘vile’ as a result.
Things went further downhill when he entered the house and used homophobic language towards JoJo, 21, telling her that after spending four days with him she would ‘no longer be gay’.
He also said he was would to ‘vote the lesbian out’.
He was called into the Diary Room where Big Brother said they had ‘no option’ but to remove him from the house.
In response, Rourke said: ‘I’m actually ashamed of myself for getting that hot. I went over the line, you know? I did wrong.
‘I guess, like they say, I’m a work in progress. I just wanna pack my bags and leave, you know. I wanted to leave yesterday, actually, but I wasn’t chosen.’
Elsewhere on this season, Love Island alumni Chris and JoJo have formed a close bond, with them whispering to each other into the night – often riling up other housemates.
Their friendship began to blossom after horse racing-obsessive Chris defended JoJo when Rourke used homophobic language against her.
Ever since, they’ve been inseperable in their ‘bromance’, even sharing a bed and exchanging secret messages – for which they got punished by Big Brother.
Other contestants on this series are Chesney Hawkes, Angellica Bell, Donna Preston, Ella Wise, Jack P. Shepherd and Danny Beard.
