"I'm going to use every skill I've got, whether its charming them with cooking or charming them physically. There's not a single challenge that's going to break me."

Mitch

Double trouble! One half of the intruder twins Charlotte is looking forward to making some memories with her sister Alex. The 26-year-old is currently pursuing a career in nursing and is keeping her Big Brother strategies close to her chest.

Alex

Look familiar? Charlotte's twin Alex, 26, is a fun fashionista with a strategic side. The Victorian is a registered nurse and recently moved into her own home with her partner. We expect the Big Brother house will prove to be a very different living situation.

Katie

Think Katie Williams, 27, looks like a familiar face? There's a good reason why - she has previously appeared on Australian Ninja Warrior.

Ari

Ari is a 22-year-old student from Sydney's Eastern Suburbs.

Mitchell

Chatterbox Mitchell is a 26-year-old 2D animator from Queensland who loves everything about nature, particularly bird watching.

Mary

Notice a resemblance?

The 29-year-old loves mischief, dislikes alpha males and is ready for an adventure.

Max

While Max is ready to forge some new friendships in the Big Brother house, he is also highly competitive and confident and will do everything in his power to win.

Renata

Renata, 45, is a cool and non-nonsense mum from Lithuania who isn't afraid to speak her mind - and may just ruffle a few feathers along the way.

Studying nursing as she works as a flight attendant in Adelaide, Renata wants the prize money to help provide for her kids and to travel back to Lithuania.

Nick

Nick, a 29-year-old colour blind house painter from Adelaide might just be the most laid-back guy in Australia.

Marley

After losing his mum to cancer, this 25-year-old basketballer is motivated to win so he can set up and take care of his dad.

"I can hear her voice in my head telling me to go for it and win this whole thing. I'll do anything to get to the end."

Tilly

Sydney student Tilly is smarter than she looks, but she won't be letting that on in the house.

"That's all I want for them, to secure their future. Nothing will break me."

Sarah Jane

"It's going to be mad, it's going to be fun, it's going to be terrifying. Bring it on!"

Flex Mami

After being photographed entering the house late last year it's no surprise to see TV presenter, DJ and podcaster, Flex Mami appear in the first teaser for the show.

The multi-talented social media star, whose real name is Lillian Ahenkan, can be seen strutting down the street.

"Big Brother intrigues me," she says in the clip, "my life is one big social game."
