Joining the show this year is a new household that Channel 10 is yet to reveal information about.

Auditions were held by the network for additional cast members in late 2018 after two popular families left the show.

Wayne Mott and Tom Walsh, and Angie Kent and Yvie Jones made the decision to leave the reality tv show.

Originally, Angie and Yvie stated that it was too difficult to commute to film their segments but it was later revealed that they had resigned so that they could appear as contestants on Channel 10’s I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here!

Meanwhile, Tom announced in October 2018 that he and partner Wayne had decided to “retire” from reality TV to enjoy a quieter life. 

“I’ve had a lot of fun. And I think it’s just time. Me and Wayne are ready to retire. We’re ready to buy a farm and go bush,” he said.

Both couples leaving the show have been a part of the cast since the show launched in 2015.
