Australia, meet your new obsession.
Big Brother rolled out the welcome mat for 12 fresh housemates ready to stir the pot, make unlikely alliances and spill more tea than a kitchen kettle.
From a piano-playing mum of three to a self-proclaimed unicorn model and a barber from the “biggest Italian family in Australia,” this year’s lineup is as bold and unpredictable as the house itself.
The stage is set, the cameras are rolling, and the walls – well, they’re definitely listening.
Allana, 45
A Queensland social worker and mother of three, Allana juggles family life with a love for music, gin by the beach, and perfectly shaped brows.
Bruce, 25
This outspoken Queensland tradie has firm views on relationships and gender roles – and a reputation for stirring up trouble wherever he goes.
Conor, 31
A proud Queensland disability advocate living with Tourette syndrome, Conor turns stigma into strength with humour, confidence, and heart.
Emily, 30
A warm, witty primary school teacher from Western Australia, Emily’s compassionate nature shines through – though her inner germophobe often takes the wheel.
Holly, 31
The West Australian model calls herself a “unicorn” – globe-trotting, free-spirited, and impossible to ignore.
Colin, 21
The Wollongong-based MMA hopeful from NSW is loud, cheeky, and unashamedly devoted to his mum – just don’t ask him to make his bed.
Michael, 49
A publisher from Sydney’s Eastern Suburbs, Michael is a single dad of three teens who’d take family movie night over dating any day.
Coco, 30
The NSW single mum of three has battled illness and heartbreak but brings fierce resilience, sharp humour, and unfiltered honesty to the house.
Edward, 31
The South Australian sales manager and proud twin is the youngest of six – on a mission to prove that nice guys can win, too.
Abiola, 24
A musician from Victoria, Abiola wants to be “the first openly fat, black, lesbian on TV” – bold, unapologetic, and impossible to miss.
Mia, 23
This Bunnings retail assistant from Victoria is all chaotic charm and fearless opinions, blending pride in her South Asian heritage with a fiery edge.
Vincent, 21
A regional Victorian barber from a huge Italian family, Vincent grew up making wine and salami with his Nonno – and now hopes to be a cut above the rest.
