Big Brother Australia's new raunchy season on Network 10 has begun with 12 housemates entering the game. While the show aimed to cast "everyday Aussies," one contestant stands out with notable reality TV connections, sparking mixed reactions among fans.
Returning to Network 10 and the Gold Coast’s Dreamworld in November 2025, Big Brother Australia targets both longtime followers and a new audience. The casting process highlighted a preference for everyday Australians rather than influencers from recent reality shows like Married At First Sight and Love Island.
The 12 housemates revealed at the launch were generally well-received for their diversity and commitment to the show, competing for a $100,000 prize. However, some fans uncovered that one participant has strong ties to reality TV.
Holly Young, a 31-year-old model who calls herself a "unicorn," has links to Australian reality television. According to Daily Mail Australia, she previously dated Gavin Rubinstein, star of Luxe Listings. Their relationship began publicly in August 2024 but ended a few months later.
