Australian comedy royalty joins TV Central for a candid, funny and surprisingly revealing conversation.

Australian Survivor: Redemption is officially upon us, and it’s shaping up to be one of the most intense, emotional, and game-changing seasons yet.

For David Genat, this season brings a different kind of challenge — not playing, but hosting. After three stints in the game, including a win on Australian Survivor: All Stars, David is back, and this time he's guiding 24 new castaways through 45 brutal days of survival,...

Today on TV Central, we’re joined by a woman who captured the heart of a nation. Coco — a 30-year-old single mum of three — walked into the Big Brother house carrying more life experience than a lot of people ever will.

After 11 years in childcare, a painful marriage breakdown, and a complete life reset, she stepped into the game determined to show her kids what real strength looks like.

She’s funny, fierc...

Conor — what a powerhouse. A disability advocate, educator, high-energy larrikin, and someone who lives boldly and unapologetically with Tourette’s.

He walked into the Big Brother house with purpose: to represent, to challenge stigma, and to show Australia the real face of Tourette’s — one that’s authentic, unfiltered, funny, big-hearted, and full of personality.

From surviving a hit-and-run at j...

Edward came into the game the epitome of an Aussie bloke: beers with mates, the life of the party, a bit of a stirrer when the mood strikes.

But behind the cheeky grin is someone grounded, caring, and genuinely big-hearted. The youngest of six, a proud twin, and the friend everyone turns to when life gets tough.

He entered the house wanting to prove that kindness, humour, and vulnerability can go the distance — and tha...

What a week it’s been in the Big Brother house:

It was sayonara to Holly, and a surprise midnight boot for Vinnie.

Coco and Bruce finally shared that much-anticipated first kiss — honestly, it’s been like watching a three-hour Hallmark movie unfold in slow motion.

And of course, steering this wild ship with grace, humour and pure hosting brilliance is Mel Tracina. She’s a friend of the show, she&rsq...

Born and raised in regional Victoria, Vinnie—also known as Vincent—grew up making wine and salami with his Nonno as part of what he proudly calls “the biggest Italian family in Australia.” After moving out at 18, he built a life in Melbourne, where he now works as a barber.

Vinnie radiates charisma. He has that rare mix of confidence, self-assurance, and warmth that makes him instantly magnetic. He knows ...

This is your central hub for all things Big Brother — from eviction interviews to deep dives with host Mel Tracina and the legendary voice of the series, Mike Goldman.

Holly is a 31-year-old model from my home state of WA. Others often describe her as “fun with a side of chaos,” but she prefers “a unicorn: fabulous, untamed, and impossible to ignore.” She’s lived and modelled in LA, Milan, and...

This is your central hub for all things Big Brother — where the drama is high, the strategy is sneaky, and the housemates somehow still forget there are cameras literally everywhere.

What a week it’s been in the Big Brother house – it went from Love Island Australia to The Real Housewives of Hotel Hell.

There was more whinging in the house than at an old people’s bingo game when a mobile phone rings.

This is Eviction #3 as Mia was the third to say goodbye.

Mia is an unapologetic ball of energy—equal parts chaos, charm, and charisma. A proud Sri Lankan Australian and a retail assistant at Bunnings, she brings a huge personality and an even bigger laugh everywhere she goes. She’s passionate about inclusivity and representation, but she’s not afraid to get messy either. Loyal to those she loves, ruthless when...

This is Eviction #2 as Jane was the second to say goodbye.

Jane is far from your typical Big Brother housemate. At 67, she’s the oldest contestant in the history of Big Brother Australia, bringing a lifetime of perspective into a game often dominated by younger generations. A single mother of two and grandmother of four, she’s happiest on the golf course with her girlfriends and is known for her no-nonsense, straigh...

This is your central hub for all things Big Brother — where the drama is high, the strategy is sneaky, and the housemates somehow still forget there are cameras literally everywhere.

What a week it’s been in the Big Brother house — it’s starting to look so much like the Love Island villa that I’m half-expecting a housemate to tell out ‘I’ve Got a Text”

Host Mel Tracina has already b...

This is Eviction #1 as Michael was the first to say goodbye.

Outgoing, funny, and confidently himself, Michael walked into the Big Brother house as a man who knows exactly who he is. A devoted single dad of three teens from Sydney’s Eastern Suburbs, he’s the kind of guy who would always rather be at home watching movies with his kids than out on a date. Genuine, loyal, and generous to a fault, Michael also carries s...
