Big Brother Australia 2025 emily missing

Big Brother Australia livestream watchers were concerned about Emily Dale’s fate in the competition after she went “missing” from the livestream for hours. The producers have a habit of removing people from the house during the livestream with little to no explanation, as they prefer to save the story for the delayed episodes that air in the evenings.

When housemates try to discuss topics Big Brother producers don’t want viewers to hear, the camera often cuts to the washing machines, fish tank or mutes the audio. Some eagle-eyed live stream watchers noticed that Emily had suddenly disappeared from all angles of the house on Tuesday, leading many to theorise she had been evicted along with Vinnie Brigante.

“So has anybody seen Emily today seems to be a topic of conversation. We know that Vinnie got evicted late last night now Emily is missing. Did something happen during the day? She was there this morning,” one person wrote.

“She was there this morning, then disappeared,” another added.

“People were saying they were hiding her due to the eviction,” a third chimed in.

“I know Big Brother is probably doing what everyone is saying and covering up Emily. But, I haven’t seen her at all since about 10am, and they’re cooking dinner right now, and there [are] only six plates out,” another concerned fan wrote.

While some fans theorised that Emily was being hidden by producers to build suspense for Tuesday night’s eviction, other livestream watchers referred to “gastrogate”. There are many clues that point to a gastro outbreak in the house, and it’s possible Emily was ill.

“Looks like she has been in bed all afternoon, probably sick. They need to shower more if it’s gastro, especially after being in the pool,” one viewer pointed out.

“I think she’s unwell,” another added.

“Maybe she went to get medical assistance and had to keep her off live stream until it’s a good time to,” a third guessed.

Emily returns to the Big Brother livestream

At 1am Queensland time, Emily was spotted sitting on the couch with a Christmas hat on.

“Queen Em has returned to the stream,” a Redditor wrote.

“Love her! Was so sad to hear how she was talking about herself tonight saying she’s the “nothing” person between two attractive people. Can’t wait til she finds out how many of us support her!” a fan replied.

“She’s so beautiful inside and out,” another added.

The Big Brother housemates were called into the lounge on Wednesday morning for nominations, so we should find out shortly who is at risk of eviction.

Big Brother Australia 2025 airs Monday to Friday at 7.30pm, and Sundays at 7pm on Channel 10 and 10Play.
