Big Brother UK Skips Saturdays: ITV Confirms No Saturday Broadcasts for 2025 Season

ITV’s 2025 season of Big Brother UK will not air new episodes on Saturday nights, a scheduling decision designed to provide both viewers and production staff with a regular break. The break follows a busy week in the Big Brother house, including the second live eviction and the removal of a housemate for unacceptable language and behaviour. George, a contestant who had previously received a written warning, was removed from the show after an incident with another housemate, Sam. This break in programming is not due to any production problems but is part of ITV’s planned schedule. Episodes are broadcast from Sunday to Friday each week, with Saturdays dedicated to alternative programming or used as a day off for both audiences and production. The show resumes on Sunday nights at 9pm with a live episode, followed by the usual ‘Late & Live’ segment. The network’s strategy is similar to previous seasons, where Saturday breaks have allowed time for editors and producers to prepare for the next week’s content and helped maintain suspense and audience engagement. The absence of a Saturday broadcast is a long-standing format choice, not a sign of cancellation or disruption, and fans can expect a return to nightly episodes after each weekend break.
