Jenny Baird explains iconic Derry phrase to Big Brother housemate

Derry's Jenny Baird shares embarrassing funeral story to fellow Big Brother housemate

Derry TikTok star Jenny Baird

Derry girl Jenny Baird continues to prove a popular and entertaining housemate since joining the 2025 series of Big Brother.

While in the garden during last night's show, TikTok star Jenny exchanged regional slang during a conversation with Marcus, a mechanical engineer from Manchester who contributed his own local terms like “'anging" and "Our Kid".

Jenny then proceeded to use the Derry phrase, 'Do you think I came up the Foyle in a bubble?' which left Marcus slightly confused.

She then proceeded to explain to Marcus that 'Foyle' was the local river in Derry and gave an explanation of the phrase.

“'Do you think I came up the Foyle in a bubble?' means 'Do you think I'm stupid?',” she explained.

Later on in the same episode, Jenny shared an embarrassing funeral story when she wore a bright pink tracksuit, pink cardigan and a t-shirt with the phrase "Big heart, bigger ass" t-shirt to a funeral where everyone else wore black.

The incident went unnoticed by her until a friend brought it up weeks later.

Big Brother continues each night at 9.00pm on ITV2 and ITVX.
