The show, beloved for its mix of drama, humour, and genuine human connection, captivated the nation in the early 2000s. Now, it returns to its original home at Dreamworld with Mel, a radio host and TV personality, as the new host.
Mel, 36, steps into the role previously held by Sonia Kruger and Gretel Killeen. She promises to infuse the show with warmth, wit, and relatability.
“I love how hyped Aussies are for the show to return. It feels a bit surreal as well, just because it’s a show I grew up watching, so it’s that full-circle moment.”
“I know that I’m going to be the bearer of bad news for a lot of the housemates, because I’ll be there to bring them nominations and evictions, but I really want to be more of like a bestie to them – someone that’s a little bit nicer than Big Brother, who’s gonna be giving them all the tasks and taking away all their luxuries.”
Mel is embracing the pressure and excitement as she prepares for the new season, ready to balance the tough moments with a supportive presence for the contestants.
Mel Tracina’s hosting promises to blend nostalgia with fresh energy, positioning Big Brother Australia for a thrilling comeback.
