MAFS’ Mikey Pembroke’s famous ex-girlfriend to star on Big Brother

Will he support her? - by Faye Couros
  • 05 Apr 2021

Former Married At First Sight contestant Mikey Pembroke’s famous ex-girlfriend, Katie Williams, 27, has been revealed as the latest incoming Big Brother housemate.

WATCH BELOW: Big Brother 2021 first look. 

The former champion beach sprinter turned personal trainer and host of the podcast Better For It is set to be a quiet champion on the show this season.

Addressing his ex girlfriend's upcoming reality TV stint, Mikey told The Daily Mail Australia she had his full support. "I wish her nothing but the best, good luck to her," the MAFS star said.

This isn't the Sydney Northern Beaches girls first foray with reality TV, as she also starred on the first season of Australian Ninja Warrior back in 2017.

Since then, she has dedicated her socials to promoting healthy lifestyle habits that do away with fad diets. She also runs workshops teaching women how to incorporate her "Move #5kEveryday" philosophy into their everyday lives, walking or running for five kilometres every day of the week.

Mikey and Katie’s relationship came to light when pictures of the two on Instagram were unearthed during the groom'd time on MAFS.

Although it is unclear how long the two were together, the first picture on Instagram dates back to July 2017, and the last picture is from April 2018.

In 2019, it appeared like the former couple was on amicable terms; however, they seem to have swiftly unfollowed each other since then.

Katie revealed the news on her Instagram with a promo shot and a caption which highlights her competitive and sport-driven mentality.

She wrote, “Ready for the challenge of my life. Let games begin ⚡️ @bigbrotherau #BBAU."

Former Bachelor contestant Bella Varelis showed her support for Katie by commenting, “YES BABY! Killem.”

Meanwhile Perth fashion model Kate Wasley posted, “🙌🙌” to hype up her friend.

No official air date for the Channel 7 show has been announced yet but with the network continually announcing it's upcoming line-up of names, we expect the premiere date is imminent. 

While Katie has been making plans to become an Australian reality TV mainstay, her ex Mikey recently celebrated reaching 10 weeks of sobriety.

He opened up about his journey in early March on his Instagram where he bravely discussed his hard-earned milestone.

Life is about showing up and having a fu****g go !! 10 weeks no drinks complete," he said at the time.

“Did 75 days which started on December 20 and pushed through the holiday period up until last week! Got something special brewing to celebrate.”

Mikey took on the challenge in an attempt to focus on his health, which is a process he has always been vocal about since appearing on MAFS in 2020.
