Jenny Baird does Derry proud as she comes third in Big Brother 2025 finale
Derry’s Jenny Baird emerged to a welcome hug from family and friends and cheers from the gathered crowds as her seven week stay in the Big Brother house ended on a high note in the finale on Friday night when she finished in third place.
As people watched on in homes, bars and at cinemas across Derry and the north, the 21-year-old watched housemates Tate and Emily leave first in sixth and fifth place respectively, leaving Jenny, Richard, Cameron and Elsa as the final four. A short time later Jenny’s best friend in the house, Cameron, came fourth. But it wasn’t long before the duo were reunited with Jenny next to emerge.
Jenny has been hailed as one of the most entertaining housemates of the 2025 season and won a legion of new fans with her witty banter, craic, one liners and straight talking since she entered the house back in September.
The celebrations are set to continue when she returns to Derry a household name with a Mayoral reception already organised for the Brandywell native.
Earlier in scenes screened in the final episode tonight, one of the Big Brother housemates paid a heartfelt tribute to Jenny.
As each of the Housemates reflected on their Big Brother experience, Cameron says: “Seven weeks in this mad house. It’s been a hell of a ride in here. I can’t say in a nutshell how much I’ve appreciated coming into this house and spending it with you guys, and how great you’ve all been. So, thank you for that.
"Jenny I probably couldn't have done it quite without you. It certainly wouldn't have been as fun and enjoyable and you know I think the world you, never change never change.”
Jenny returned the compliment to Cameron while summing up her experience at the dinner.
She said: “I am so proud of myself and all of us. I think youse are all amazing people and I genuinely could not think of a better six people to be sat around the table.
"And obviously meeting Cameron is one of my highlights of my experience because we will be great friends forever and everybody else but, Cams on top, you know what I mean.”
So if you see the two of them strolling round the Walls or booking in a booth over the coming months, be sure to ask for a selfie with the real queen and king of Big Brother 2025.
