The Seven Network has confirmed the all-star cast for its special event series, Big Brother VIP, set to air later this year on Channel Seven and 7plus.
Twelve VIPs are taking a holiday from their celebrity lives and checking into Big Brother’s first-ever luxury hotel, where they will receive rockstar treatment with a Big Brother twist.
Removed from the world they know, this group will be at the mercy of Big Brother’s game, their every move watched as they face house tasks, nomination challenges and eviction ceremonies; all while they eat, sleep and share a bathroom together.
With the star power dialled to extreme, host Sonia Kruger will be on hand to keep the celebrities’ egos in check.
The 12 stars walking the red carpet into Big Brother VIP are:
Bernard Curry – Actor
Caitlyn Jenner – Olympian and Political Candidate
Danny Hayes – Big Brother 2021 Favourite
Dayne Beams – Former AFL Captain
Ellie Gonsalves – Actress and Model
Imogen Anthony – Fashion Designer and Model
Jessika Power – Reality TV Star
Josh Carroll – Model and Content Creator
Luke Toki – Reality TV Fan Favourite
Matt Cooper – NRL Superstar
Omarosa – Political Aide and Author
Thomas Markle Jr. – Famous Big Brother
They may all be stars but only one winner will walk away with $100,000 for their nominated charity. Who wins? You decide.
When the VIP series was announced, Seven Network programming director, Angus Ross, said: “The time is right to commission Big Brother VIP. The celebrity format is a proven success around the world. It was a hit here in Australia almost two decades ago and we’re looking forward to introducing a whole new generation of celebrities to Big Brother. Let the game begin.”
Big Brother VIP made headlines earlier this year when controversial British figure Katie Hopkins was flown into Australia to take part, only to be quickly deported after breaking hotel quarantine restrictions.
Big Brother VIP is produced by Endemol Shine Australia for the Seven Network.
