Cameron Barnes, a 25-year-old MMA coach from Bolton, has become the latest housemate to be evicted from the Big Brother UK house. The elimination took place during the live show on October 10, 2025, where he received the fewest public votes. While his journey in the house was cut short, his family back home in Little Lever has been vocal about their immense pride, celebrating his genuine character and the positive way he represented their hometown.

Family’s Immediate Reaction to the Eviction

Following his exit, Cameron’s family did not hide their enthusiasm and support. His sister, Savannah Barnes, spoke to local news outlets, expressing how the entire household felt about his time on national television. The family emphasized that they were thrilled by his genuine demeanor throughout the competition.

Savannah explained that the family encouraged Cameron to always stay true to himself rather than adopt a calculated persona for the cameras. She stated that it was nice to see him on the show acting exactly as he does in real life. According to her, his time on the show reflected his “genuine” personality.

โ€œHeโ€™s bubbly, heโ€™s funny, heโ€™s down to earth, heโ€™s a proud Bolton lad,โ€ Savannah said, adding that Cameron was โ€œabsolutely over the moon about how much support heโ€™s got, especially local support from Bolton.โ€

The family’s priority was always his authenticity, valuing it far above any strategic gameplay that could have prolonged his stay in the house. They believe he successfully demonstrated what Bolton represents to a national audience.

Cameron’s Time in the Big Brother House

Cameron Barnes entered the Big Brother house on the second day of the new season, which featured a staggered entry format for new contestants. His stay lasted approximately two and a half weeks before his eviction on October 10. His departure was notable as it was the first time this season a contestant exited through the famous front door during a live broadcast.

During his post-eviction interview with hosts AJ Odudu and Will Best, Cameron shared his thoughts on leaving. He mentioned that he felt โ€œgoodโ€ about his exit and reflected on the unique social experiment of the house.

โ€œIโ€™m feeling good. Itโ€™s good to be out. If you stay in, youโ€™re with everyone again, like your adoptive family. If not, youโ€™re seeing everyone, seeing different faces,โ€ Cameron said after his eviction.

His time in the house wasn’t without conflict. He was involved in a disagreement with fellow contestant Feyisola, which was shown in footage before the eviction. Cameron later acknowledged his role in the tension, telling the hosts, โ€œThat was my fault, that one. Sometimes, I wear my heart on my sleeve. If Iโ€™m wrong, Iโ€™m wrong.โ€ He explained that he had apologized to Feyisola for being “out of order,” and they had a conversation to clear the air.

A Proud Bolton Lad’s First Thoughts After Leaving

One of the most telling signs of Cameron’s character was his immediate concern after being eliminated. According to his sister, one of the first things Cameron was eager to find out upon reconnecting with his family was the performance of his local football team, Bolton Wanderers. He also inquired about the well-being of his colleagues and fighters in the mixed martial arts community.

โ€œImmediately, heโ€™s checking all the Bolton stories, making sure everyoneโ€™s doing well,โ€ Savannah revealed.

This instant reconnect with his community highlights what his family describes as “typical Bolton pride.” Despite being isolated in the house for weeks, his first thoughts were for his hometown and his community, showcasing a deep-seated loyalty that his family says defines him.

Building Lifelong Friendships in the House

Despite his relatively short stay, Cameron managed to form strong bonds with other housemates. His sister revealed that he had grown particularly close to a group known as “the Wolf Pack.” Cameron himself expressed excitement about these new friendships after his eviction, suggesting that leaving the house meant he could finally reconnect with these individuals once they, too, had exited the game.

He described the Big Brother experience as having developed lifelong connections with people he met inside the property. The family believes that these genuine friendships are more valuable than the prize money, and they are a testament to the authentic way Cameron approached the game.

What the Future Holds for Cameron

While his time on Big Brother has ended, his family is optimistic about what comes next. They expressed hope that his appearance on such a prominent platform would open doors for future opportunities in his professional and personal life.

Savannah noted that watching her brother operate in the entertainment world revealed a natural talent for this type of environment. The household remains tremendously proud of how Cameron carried himself throughout the competition and believe he has a bright future ahead.

The Big Brother house, now without Cameron, continues with a twist announced by hosts AJ and Will. Two former housemates, who may have left the game too soon, are scheduled to return to the house next Friday, ensuring the dynamics will keep shifting.
