The SHOCK Big Brother & Bachelorette connection REVEALED

These stars go way back. - by New Idea
  • 07 Jul 2020

When it comes to the social circles of reality TV stars everybody seems to know everybody.

Yet, we’re always a little baffled when reality stars from different shows and different networks, both well-known and new to TV, have a secret connection.

The latest revealed in the reality game of join the dots is Big Brother’s Sophie Budack and Bachelor In Paradise’s Ciarran Stott.

WATCH: Big Brother star Chad's secret mission

The 25-year-old Bachelorette heartthrob, who captured Australia’s attention on Angie Kent’s season of the dating show shared an Instagram photo featuring the Big Brother housemate over the weekend.

The throwback photo was a birthday tribute to the 25-year-old gymnast, captioning the cute snap: “Happy Birthday chick @sophiebudack”.

Sophie, who’s currently loved up with fellow housemate and model Chad Hurst, reposted the photo on her own Instagram page.

With Sophie only just appearing on Big Brother in recent weeks and the coronavirus pandemic keeping socialising to a limit, it’s not reality social circles that brought these two together.

Both hailing from Darwin, it turns out Sophie and Ciarran have been close friends for years.

Sophie revealed to the Daily Mail: “We've been besties for years and years. We're both from Darwin.”

While Sophie is still on our screens, now in the top seven housemates of Big Brother for 2020, Ciarran is prepping for his trip to Fiji for Bachelor In Paradise.

But it may not be all sunshine and smooth sailing for the star, judging by a new promo for the show Ciarran has been hiding a dark secret, that could date back to his time on The Bachelorette!

“I want to get to know the truth about his past relationship,” one Bachelorette says in the trailer. “I’ve heard there is still something going on.”

Then another person adds: “Nobody knows what he did, there is just so much he’s lied about.”
