“Major influencer vibes.” The raunchy reboot of Big Brother Australia on Network 10 has kicked off with 12 new housemates entering the game. Although the show aimed to feature “everyday Aussies,” one contestant stands out with strong ties to the reality TV world, sparking debate among fans.
The November launch marked a big return for Big Brother Australia, coming back to Network 10 and filming at Gold Coast’s Dreamworld. The show hopes to attract its original audience while appealing to a new generation of viewers.
During casting, the production emphasized avoiding influencers who recently appeared on shows like Married At First Sight and Love Island. The revealed cast of 12 was praised as a diverse group, all competing for the $100,000 prize.
Despite the intent to cast regular Australians, fans quickly discovered one housemate has notable reality TV connections. Holly Young, a 31-year-old model who calls herself a “unicorn,” has become a topic of interest. According to Daily Mail Australia, Holly previously dated Gavin Rubinstein, a star of Luxe Listings.
“The duo hard-launched their relationship back in August 2024 before officially splitting a few months later.”
The discovery of Holly's past relationship with a reality TV personality has divided viewers, fueling discussions and speculation about the authenticity of the casting promise.
