Big Brother VIP is an upcoming celebrity edition of Big Brother. The series was announced on March 30, 2021, and will be hosted by Sonia Kruger.[1]
Production[edit]
In advance of the series being announced in March 2021, it was confirmed in December 2020 that the show was issued an eviction notice by National Parks and Wildlife Service for the site used as the location of the house for the previous two series of the civilian series over concerns for local wildlife due to concerns from increased traffic and attention to the site.[2] In July 2021, it was confirmed that the site of the new Big Brother house used for the series would be constructed in the White Pavilion at the Sydney Olympic Park in Homebush.[3]
In June 2021, it was confirmed that the series would be extended in some capacity due to the tenth season of Australia's Got Talent being delayed due to COVID-19 restrictions that came into effect in Sydney shortly before production was set to begin.[4]
In July 2021, Katie Hopkins who was set to appear on the show after appearing on the fifteenth season of Celebrity Big Brother in the UK in 2015, made multiple posts on Instagram mocking several lockdown measures in place in Sydney, as well as stating she was intentionally not following rules in place.[5] Her entry into the country sparked backlash due to the number of Australians stranded overseas due to state intake limits that were in place.[6] Her visa was ultimately canceled, she was fined $1,000 and was also escorted to Sydney Airport by police on July 19, 2021, for deportation back to the UK.[7][8] Seven also condemned the statements made and also confirmed she would no longer be a part of the series prior to her deportation being announced.[9] Due to a pay-or-play clause in her contract, Hopkins was still paid her full appearance fee.[10]
