Big Brother Australia is celebrating its 21st birthday in 2022 and has invited some old friends to the party. In an exciting first look teaser released on social media, Big Brother fans are finally introduced to some of the housemates who will be competing to win the grand prize (and there are some familiar faces).
The theme for the newest season will be BB Royalty and New Contenders, with past housemates from the past 21 years returning to compete against completely new housemates. It comes after last season's theme of Big Brother VIP had Luke Toki reign champion, competing with big names like Caitlyn Jenner, Thomas Markle Jr and Omarosa Newman.
In the teaser, we hear Big Brother's voice introduce the new theme. He says, "Hello Australia, I first met you 21 years ago. You’ll never guess who’s coming to celebrate. But are my New Contenders good enough?".
