Big Brother UK Season 22 premiered with 12 new housemates on September 28, 2025. As they entered the reality show, the official Instagram of the show shared various profiles for each of the contestants.
One of the housemates Feyisola, opened up about her background and how it would help her in the Big Brother house.
She revealed that she worked as a detective, and watching body language and listening to people would help her. Additionally, she noted that she might struggle to listen more than she talks.
"I was a detective in the Metropolitan Police. Watching body language, listening to people. Definitely something that's gonna help me in the House. Trying to listen more than I talk will probably be a struggle, but we'll see. I'm very passionate about human rights. If there's a housemate in there who's just willfully ignorant, I think we might have a problem," shared Feyisola.

Sam also shared what his mom would say about living with him.
"My mum would not say I was clean to live with. She would be like, There's clothes everywhere, there's hairspray on all the door handles, there's makeup everywhere. Things happen, you know. I'm so ready to enter that house, honey. Get me in there! "
