Big Brother Australia is returning for 2025, and here’s everything we know about its new (yet old) format!

After being cancelled in 2024 following its disastrous ratings in 2023, the hit reality show is back and better than ever.

And it seems producers are taking on fan feedback! During the September 16 Upfronts, it was revealed that Big Brother would return to its OG network, Channel 10, after airing on Seven for the past four years.

After fans complained that Big Brother barely resembled the show they once loved, the network also promised that the series would return to “the authentic, OG show you fell in love with all those years ago”. YAAS!

Better yet, filming will take place in a new house, and the series will return to its live format so fans can watch evictions and nominations in all their nail-biting glory!

Who is the host of Big Brother Australia 2025?

Channel 10 also announced that Mel Tracina would replace Sonia Kruger as the show’s host.

The TV personality is best known for being the cultural correspondent on The Cheap Seats. She’s also a podcaster, radio host and actress.

When deciding who’d host the reboot, an insider told Yahoo Lifestyle that long-time host Sonia and OG host Gretel Killeen were “never considered” for the 2025 series.
