‘Celebrity Big Brother Australia’ is to air on E4.
Caitlyn Jenner is among the stars who will feature in Celebrity Big Brother Australia, which is coming to E4
Channel 4 have announced the Down Under version of the show will broadcast on E4 from February 6th over 11 episodes, and among the 12 celebrities taking part are reality star Caitlyn Jenner, Celebs Go Dating’s Jessika Power and Thomas Markle Jr., who is half-brother to Meghan, the Duchess of Sussex.
For the first time ever in ‘Big Brother’ history, the stars will be staying in a "luxury hotel" instead of a house, as they compete to win $100,000 prize for their chosen charity.
The new series will be hosted by Sonia Kruger and will be full of twists and turns as the contestants go head-to-head competing in various tasks.
Other celebs taking part include Australian Survivor’s Luke Toki, model and actress Ellie Gonsalves, models Josh Carroll and Imogen Anthony, former Australian Football League player Dayne Beams, actor Bernard Curry; 'Big Brother Australia' contestant Daniel Hayes, former National Rugby League player Matt Cooper, and author and former political aide Omarosa Manigault Newman.
Australia’s first celebrity version of the show aired back in 2002 and was won by radio and TV host Dylan Lewis.
In September 2018, Channel 5 confirmed the UK versions of 'Big Brother' and 'Celebrity Big Brother' had been axed.
They said in a statement: "The forthcoming series of 'Big Brother' will be the last - of either celebrity or civilian versions - on Channel 5.
"We’d like to thank Endemol and all of the production team who have worked tirelessly to make the show a success.
"We’d also like to thank our brilliant presenters - Emma on Big Brother and Rylan from 'Bit on the Side' - for their consummate professionalism, Marcus, the voice of 'Big Brother' and all of the housemates who have created so many memorable moments.
"Most importantly, we’d like to thank fans of the show for their support over the last seven years. We look forward to giving the final series a brilliant send-off."
Following news of the 'CBB Australia' airing on E4, Rylan Clark has now called for the UK version to return.
He tweeted: "Amazing news…… NOW BRING OURS BACK (sic)"
'Celebrity Big Brother Australia' arrives on E4 from February 6th, 2022.
