All Access Scoop with Celia: What inside the Big Brother house is REALLY like
Entertainment writer Celia was among the first to tour the Big Brother AU house before the housemates moved in. Arriving at Dreamworld, she felt a sudden wave of awe—the colors, lights, and overall vibe had a dramatic yet inviting energy.
Being inside the house sparked an exhilarating excitement, akin to tasting a delicious new food for the first time—something you instantly love and want to experience again.
As New Idea's Entertainment Writer, I was flown from Sydney to the Gold Coast for the 2026 Upfront event. On a warm spring evening, guests were greeted by host Mel Tracina, who hinted at an exciting upcoming season.
Soon after, we were granted full access to explore the house freely, which was hard to believe.
