EXCLUSIVE: Big Brother star Cameron B has spoken out about life after the show and his thoughts on housemate George Gilbert’s removal from the house
Bolton’s very own Cameron B has finally left the Big Brother house, and he’s bringing his signature noise and charm with him. After weeks of drama, debates and unforgettable telly moments, the self-proclaimed “loud idiot from Bolton” is back home — and he’s setting the record straight on life after eviction, house divides, and, yes, that housemate George Gilbert.
George, the housemate who’s dominated headlines for all the wrong reasons, recently revealed the real reason he was removed from the house following repeated use of unacceptable language and behaviour. The parish councillor, 23, was given a formal warning by Big Brother during Monday night’s episode after he made a fellow housemate cry by apparently mocking them. George has now opened up about the situation on his Youtube channel.
His strong opinions, controversial statements, and polarising presence became the lightning rod of the series. So what does Cameron really think?

“George is a very smart guy,” Cameron says carefully. “Like, genuinely intelligent. He’s got big ideas about the world — some of them, I’ll be honest, I don’t agree with. And I think a lot of people don’t.”
Cameron pauses, thoughtful. “But he’s entitled to his views. Everyone is. The problem was how he put them across. I just think he articulated them wrong sometimes.”
George said he was ‘distraught’ after getting a verbal warning on the first night in the house. George told his housemates that he “doesn’t believe that anyone is intrinsically good or evil” and went on to use the most extreme example of Adolf Hitler. It was George’s views that got him kicked out of the Big Brother house in the end as he admitted that he pushed the boundaries far too much.
Pressed on whether he witnessed any of the behaviour that’s caused such a stir online, Cameron shakes his head. “Not directly, no. But I did hear some of the stuff he said, and yeah — it rubbed people the wrong way. He can come across in a way that sounds harsher than he means.”
He’s not defending the comments, but he’s keen to add nuance. “I know he’s going to get bad stick, and I get why,” Cameron admits. “But I don’t think deep down he’s a bad person. I think sometimes he tries too hard to sound clever, and it comes out… interestingly. That’s the best word I’ve got for it — interestingly.”
“I’m good, like a million dollars,” Cameron beams, sitting back with a grin that could light up a room. “Back in Bolton, back with my close people… love it.”
Since stepping out of the famous Big Brother doors, he’s been met with cheers, selfies and plenty of love. “There’s been people coming up asking for pictures — which I’ve cherished, honestly,” he says. “To even think I’m worthy of a picture is mad. It’s wild right now, but I’m loving every second.”
Viewers and housemates alike labelled him the loud one, and Cameron’s not arguing. “It says what it does on the tin, don’t it?” he laughs. “I was loud when I went in, and I was loud when I came out. That’s just me.”
More importantly, Cameron insists he never once tried to tone it down. “I always said I’d rather be my true self and go out the first day than fake it to the final,” he says proudly. “I think that’s what Big Brother’s about – showing who you are. I’d rather people know the real me, warts and all.”
From the outside, viewers could sense tension in the house — and Cameron confirms it was very real. “There was divide, there were alliances, and I called it,” he says. “Some people looked at me like I was mad, but since I’ve left, it’s only got more divided.”
Cameron points to Nancy, one of his closest housemates, as someone who also saw it coming. “Me and Nancy had loads of chats that never even made it to air,” he reveals. “We both said, ‘you can feel the house splitting.’ It’s just what happens when personalities clash.”
Nancy, of course, became one of Cameron’s closest friends inside. “She’s a lovely girl,” he says fondly. “We’d sit out in the garden at night, just me and her chatting about the day. On eviction night, she was emotional, bless her — but I told her, ‘you ain’t going anywhere, sweetheart, it’ll be me.’ Turns out I was right!”
Ask if he’d change anything, and Cameron doesn’t hesitate: “Nah, no regrets. Not one.”
“Everything I said or did, I stand by. If I’m wrong, I’ll admit it; if I’m right, I’ll double down. But I wouldn’t trade the experience for anything. It’s the wildest thing I’ve ever done.”
He grins, recalling surreal moments in the house: “There were times we’d all be in the jacuzzi just looking around like, ‘we’re actually in the Big Brother house!’ You forget sometimes. It’s mad.”
Cameron’s fiery exchange with Feyishola was one of the series’ standout moments — a clash that went from calm to chaos in seconds.
“There was no deep drama behind it,” he insists. “Me and Feyishola were close — we’d walk around the table holding hands, all that. But that day, I came in on the wrong inkling. I thought they were excluding people, when really they were talking about something else. I held my hands up and said sorry. Sometimes you’re right, sometimes you’re wrong — that’s life. Live by the sword, die by the sword.”
Despite the arguments and alliances, Cameron insists the cast were closer than people realise. “It’s like being part of a big, weird family,” he laughs. “You’ve got your brothers, sisters, maybe one you don’t like as much — but if something happens, you all feel it. We all went through that madness together.”
Among his inner circle were Tate, Marcus and Nancy — but even with the tension, he wishes everyone well, George included. “Whatever people think of him, I hope he comes out, reflects, and grows from it. We’ve all got stuff to learn, don’t we?”
So how would he sum up his Big Brother journey? Without missing a beat, Cameron grins: “Absolutely bloom mental.”
And with that, the lad from Bolton proves he’s walking out the same way he walked in — loud, honest, and unfiltered. Whether you loved him or couldn’t keep up, one thing’s for sure: Cameron B made his mark.
Big Brother airs Sunday to Friday on ITV2 and ITVX at 9pm
