Skipton's Sam Ashby has been involved in more controversy in the house but remains among the favourites to bring home the Big Brother crown.
As the Big Brother 2025 house descends into chaos, Skipton’s own Sam Ashby has emerged as a firm fan favourite — even after being caught up in the latest controversy.
Sam, who’s is representing Skipton with charm and calmness throughout the series, was recently punished alongside fellow housemate Nancy for breaking a “fundamental” show rule after discussing another contestant’s potential exit.
The fallout saw tempers flare in the house, but Sam’s measured response and good humour appear to have kept him in the public’s good books.
According to the latest odds from OLBG, Sam is currently 8/1 to win — giving him an 11.1% implied chance of taking the Big Brother crown.
That puts him just behind frontrunners Zelah (15/8) and Jenny (11/4), whose odds have shortened following a dramatic rule-break confrontation.
With the final set for mid-November, there’s still time for Sam to bring the title home to Skipton.
