EXCLUSIVE: Big Brother winner Chad's big post-show plans with Sophie

Cute! - by Maddison Hockey
  • 23 Jul 2020

It was the moment Big Brother housemates and fans have been waiting for – the winner for 2020 was announced.

International model, Chad Hurst, took out the title with his mum by his side and he couldn’t have looked more stunned.

This morning the 27-year-old’s win should be slowly sinking in – but he admits, it’s not.

“It’s hard to explain,” Chad tells New Idea of what it felt like to hear his name read out by host Sonia Kruger.

“It definitely hasn’t kicked in, it didn’t kick in then.”

Chad was so surprised he struggled to string a sentence together, instead asking his mum to talk for him.

“I’m not good with words so put into the spotlight like that, I’ve got nothing.”

There was no love lost between the final three.

His mum wasn’t quick to jump in for him either. Chad reveals he didn’t tell her she would have to come on stage at all.

“I tried to keep it quiet because I knew that she'd get too nervous and she wouldn't do it.

But, my brother snitched on me and he called her the day before. So I'm just glad she got up there.”

Beating out AFL star Daniel Gorringe and his Big Brother partner, Sophie Budack, Chad won around $230,000.

Chad and Sophie fell for one another early on.

Not being able to see Sophie since leaving the show due to COVID travel restrictions, you can bet he’s planning one hell of a first date.

“Pretty much, now she’s here in Sydney we can catch up and I’ve got a lot of money to spend on a very nice first date.”

Chad’s already paying off his mum’s car with his winnings. But he tells Now To Love he also intends on sharing the winnings with Sophie.

“I’ll also share the money with Sophie, it'd be bulls**t if I don't! We did this together,” he said in a pre-finale interview.
