Jenny left Marcus confused with 'Do you think I came up the Foyle in a bubble?' phrase

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.
