Remember Hotdogs from Big Brother? This is what he's doing now

A surprising change for the rowdy reality star. - by Ben Simons
  • 19 Jun 2018

Simon 'Hotdogs' Deering made his Australian television debut on 2005's Big Brother, and now the 'rowdy' reality star has reappeared on our television screens. 

Fans flocked to Twitter on Monday night after instantly recognising Deering on Channel Seven's House Rules. 

Although not a contestant on the hit renovation show, Hotdogs appeared as the Perth property expert for Purplebricks. 

Looking sharp in a tailored suit, he gave homeowners Chiara and David a valuation for their recently-renovated home in Western Australia.

Despite it being well over a decade since Hotdogs graced our TV screens, fans couldn't help but recognise the out-there character.

Deering has been working for Purplebricks since May 2017, after entering the real estate business in 2011. 

The Purplebricks website describes Hotdogs as 'a devoted husband and a very proud and loving father of two amazing little girls.'

Did you spot Hotdogs on House Rules?  


Queer Eye is back for a second season and on this week’s Binge List, we tell you what to expect this time around. Plus, we debate the merits of rom-com Younger and Todd Sampson’s Body Hack 2.0. We also ask To Binge Or Not To Binge spy drama Condor and crime procedural Instinct. Spoiler alert: we hate one of them. And this week’s Hidden Gem is dark comedy Barry.
