EXCLUSIVE: Big Brother evictee Kieran’s final SCATHING blow to housemates

"You’ve caused a sh*t storm." - by New Idea
  • 16 Jul 2020

It seemed like an impossible decision for Big Brother housemates Sophie Budack and Kieran Davidson – take a guaranteed cash prize and run or risk returning to the house for the grand title.

Ultimately Kieran took the money, more than $15,000, and ran.

But, the 21-year-old reveals he didn’t take the cash for the reason fans would expect, in fact, he took it to spite his fellow housemates.

“I didn't actually know that I would take the money until Sonia said to me, ‘This money is coming off the overall prize total',” Kieran tells New Idea.

“That was when it clicked in my head. I thought I'm going to do a big 'f*ck you' to the house. You kept me around because you said I'm not I'm strategic, I'm not playing the game.

"Well, I’m going to steal 15 grand of your money.”

Kieran's final move caused outrage in the house.

Not only was Kieran pleased he managed to claim some of the prize money from another housemate’s pocket, he also relished the chaos Sophie’s return to the house would cause.

“This is a $15,000 tax for stirring me around in the game AND I’m going to send Sophie back in to stir the pot and turn the game on its head. That was my final bomb to the house.”

The YouTube star believes the show’s producers knew he would take the money.

“I think producers knew Sophie would never push the button and I would do it just to stir the pot.”

Dan threatened to quit over the twist.

Without seeing the aftermath of Sophie’s re-entrance and his departure with $15K in pocket, Kieran knew he’d caused fury as Mat Garrick and Daniel Gorringe threw what can only be described as a tantrum.

He was tipped off by producers as he left the house that the pot had well and truly been stirred.

“I was sitting in the car park waiting to be driven away and the minder came up to me and said ‘It seems you’ve caused a bit of a sh*t storm in the house.’”

Fans would have seen both Mat and Dan in a fit of fury over Sophie’s return, refusing to welcome her back and even threatening to quit the game.

“And I reckon there would have been a whole lot more that wouldn’t have been shown from that encounter” Kieran adds.
