Everyone’s talking about: The last ever Big Brother
Host Emma Willis bid an emotional fair to the reality series.
“To all of the Big Brother housemates who’ve taken part of the last 18 years and to all of you at home, whether you’ve been here for the long haul or you’ve recently climbed on board with us, without you, we’d never have lasted for 18 years,” she said during last night’s final.
Most of all, thank you to Big Brother for being the best big brother to me. Like any sibling, you made me laugh uncontrollably, scream in frustration and weep with sadness and joy.”
