ZOE GEORGE

The latest leaked contestant is mummy blogger Zoe George.

According to TV Blackbox Zoe will be joining Ian and Daniel in the Big Brother house this year.

The mother-of-two works on her blog and website The Subtle Mummy, where she describes herself as: “a mother of two who loves talking about all the taboo subjects that come with motherhood and being a wife.”

“The Subtle Mummy is anything but, she tells it like it is with #nofilter.”

Sounds like the perfect housemate to us!

Ian

IAN W

The first housemate to be leaked was right in front of our very own eyes!

According to TV Blackbox and their streaming show The Ben, Rob & Robbo Show, Benjamin Norris (season 9 Big Brother winner) the first contestant is Ian W from Western Australia.

And, he appeared in the first ad for the television show, wearing an akubra.

“That signature hat that you can see him wearing on the show is a bit of a talking point, a way of him getting to know people. Apparently he is a very good conversationalist and from all that I’ve heard apparently he does very well on this upcoming series,” Ben said.

Daniel

DANIEL GORRINGE

It was first speculated AFL player turned influencer, Daniel Gorringe, would be joining the BB Housemates of 2020 when The Daily Mail cited a strange absence on social media by the star, which correlated to the show’s filming.

Suspicious!

And now, TV Blackbox who has reportedly obtained a list of the housemates, is confirming the rumour.

“Daniel will be amongst the housemates in the 2020 series,” Ben confirmed again on the site’s streaming show, before calling Daniel a “self-proclaimed comedian.”

Fitzy

RYAN FITZGERALD a.k.a FITZY

One of the most beloved Big Brother contestants after coming fourth in the 2004 series, now turned radio host, Fitzy could have been the perfect candidate for a celeb cameo. In fact, it wouldn’t be the first time he’d been approached to be an intruder.

Alas, he recently denied rumours on his radio show Nova 96.9, saying he hadn’t been approached at all.

Wippa asked his co-host: “”Fitz have you had a phone call at all from the team at Big Brother saying ‘hey can we get you in for a bit of an intruder session?’ It happened last time.”

To which he responded: “Not one, and I spoke to Chrissy [Swan] the other day. Chrissies the same!”
