Big Brother Australia 2021: Meet the housemates!

Here's every contestant entering the house. - by Maddison Hockey and Mark Brook
  • 19 Apr 2021

The countdown to Big Brother 2021 has well and truly begun with the show's housemates for this season have been revealed.

Off the back of the show's success in 2020, a return this year was, much to our delight, all but guaranteed. And this season, the show is promising more, more, more which is only fuelling the flames of our excitement.

WATCH: Big Brother's first housemate for 2021 is revealed! 

In the first teaser for the show's return the enigma that is Big Brother promised more games and challenges plus, brand new rooms in the Big Brother house.

While the location of the house – at Manly, New South Wales's north head – remains the same, the house itself appears to have changed.

"My house has been transformed: More rooms, more secrets, more than meets the eye," the cryptic voiceover reveals.

In the clip we can see a number of hidden rooms of which housemates are clambering up secret ladders and through holes in the couch to get to – CRAZY.

Without further ado, let's meet the impressive stars braving the new house this season.
