The 54-year-old revealed that there will be a diverse range of contestants this year.
“The ages range from 19 to 61, and the average age is over 30. It’s a very diverse group,” Sonia revealed.
However, she shut down rumours that a former housemate from a previous season will return.
“Fake news. That is totally fake. I did hear that rumour, and thought it was interesting – but it’s an all-new cast.”
Purpose built rooms for games and challenges promise plenty of action.

“They will get the final say on who takes home a lot of money,” Sonia said. “We haven’t revealed how much money – but it is a lot.”
Since the news of Big Brother’s resurrection was revealed, its former contestants have been weighing in with their thoughts.
Radio star Ryan “Fitzy” Fitzgerald, who initially found fame on Big Brother in 2004 revealed he was worried producers would make the show “too controversial” but welcomed its return.
“I’m a tragic. I actually love the show. I’m addicted to it,” Fitzy admitted.
Speaking on The Morning Show, Sonia revealed the contestants ages range from 19 to 61.

“I think a lot of people these days go onto the shows to become famous,” she told the online publication.
“I hope that when they cast the people they put realistic people in there and not these fake, plastic people.”
