In particular, Callum, 25, has formed a close bond with The Bachelor alum Brittany Hockley.
“Callum is TV gold,” one show insider tells New Idea.
“He’s getting a lot of solo camera time and generating huge buzz on social media, especially compared to some of the more established celebs. Viewers clearly love watching him as they keep voting him to do the trials.”
We’re told Callum had an instant rapport with Brittany, 36, thanks to “their shared experience of trying to find love on TV.”
Brittany was famously dumped by Nick ‘Honey Badger’ Cummins at the end of the 2018 season of The Bachelor – when he didn’t choose a partner at all.
Brittany has opened up about the difficult experience with Callum and fellow campmate Khanh Ong.
Even though Callum admitted in an online fan Q&A that Michelle Bridges was ‘his type’, fans reckon he is still sending flirty vibes Brittany’s way!
However, he will have to be content with a friendship as Brittany has been dating Swiss footballer Ben Siegrist for the past 18 months.
They met on the celebrity dating app Raya and Brittany has confirmed, “I am crazy in love.”
Callum is currently single after enjoying a brief fling with American Deb Chubb. They met while recording Love Island Games in 2023.
Meanwhile, Callum is proving to be such a hit with viewers that pundits are predicting he could take out the entire season!
Sportsbet currently has Skye Wheatley as the favourite to be crowned, with Callum closely behind in second place.
“Even if he doesn’t end up winning, he’s clearly got a bright future ahead of him,” adds our source.
