Are Love Island Australia’s Yana and Kye still together?

16 December 202516 December 2025 by Danica Baker

All hell broke loose in the Love Island Australia villa when Yana’s ex, Kye, entered as a bombshell during Episode 5. Yana was visibly shaken by his arrival and made it clear she was unhappy about it, however, things have since turned around for the couple, and they’re coupled up in the villa.

But, it’s been an extremely rough road for them, which has resulted in a lot of tears for Yana — particularly when Kye broke their boundaries and hooked up with bombshell Emma in Hotel Amor.

Despite the chaos, viewers saw Yana save Kye at the mass dumping that aired on December 2, and she has made it clear she’s willing to work to make a relationship work with him.

So, will they make it together as a couple in the real world? Love Island Australia 2025 is pre-recorded, so Kye and Yana already know the answer to those questions. However, read on to find out what we know so far about whether the couple are still together — and what their dating history is.

Are Love Island’s Kye and Yana together in real life?

Yes, they are! Yana and Kye confirmed in the post-win interview that they’re still going strong.

“We’re officially together, we have been the whole time [since leaving the villa],” she told Chattr.

Both Yana and Kye said their relationship has been going great outside the villa, and when asked if they could see a wedding on the cards one day, Yana responded: “Hell yeah, babies and all.”

Kye echoed Yana’s sentiments, saying he can see a life with her. “Yeah, definitely we’re on track, we’re definitely doing better than we ever have, so it’s looking good!

All the clues that Yana and Kye were still together while Love Island was airing.

The Islanders are strictly warned by production not to share their relationship status while the show is still airing, to avoid ruining the finale for viewers. However, eagle-eyed fans have managed to pick up signs about where Kye and Yana stand, and it’s not good news for people who think she should leave him.

One of Yana’s friends has dropped a major hint that she and Kye are still together. The friend Jamie-Lee shared a video on TikTok of Kye carrying Yana down a road at night.

In the comments section, a fan called Kye a “red flag” and Jamie’s response sounded as though Kye and Yana are still going strong.

“He has grown up so much. He also loves her so much,” she wrote.

On top of that, Yana attended a White Fox event in late November, and she can be seen wearing the “K and Y” bracelet Kye made and gifted her in Episode 25. If you look closely at Yana’s left hand, you can see the same black cord that Kye’s bracelet was made with.

She also posed with Kye for a photo with long-term Love Island couple, Nate and Georgia, suggesting that they’re, at very least, on good terms.

Another photo posted to Reddit shows Yana posing with two friends, wearing a different outfit from the White Fox party, with Kye in the background. So, while this doesn’t necessarily confirm that they’re dating, it does show they’ve been hanging out on multiple occasions since filming wrapped.

However, Yana recently threw a spanner in the works when she posted some lyrics about a man who lies and highlighted a section of the song that says, “I’m done”. Could she be hinting at being done with Kye after his Hotel Amor antics? We’ll just have to wait and see!

Love Island Australia’s Yana and Kye’s dating history

When Kye entered Love Island Australia, he picked Gabby for a date early, and she left to meet him. During their meet up, Gabby mentioned Yana by name, which is when it clicked to Kye that his ex was in the villa. Kye told Gabby that he’d dated Yana for a year and a half, and said the last time they saw each other was “a couple of months ago”.

After Kye officially entered the villa, Yana and the rest of the girls headed to a nook for a debrief, and Gabby told Yana that Kye had said their relationship had “finally ended six months ago”.

So, does the timeline of Yana and Kye’s relationship add up? Here’s everything we know about their history before the show.

October 2023

It appears that Yana and Kye hard-launched their relationship in October 2023, on a group trip to Dumbogan, located about four hours north of Sydney. Yana shared a collection of snaps from the holiday, including a couple of her cuddled up with Kye.

December 2023

In December 2023, Yana posted a photo of herself posing alongside a Four Wheel Drive on the beach at Scotts Head Beach, a five-hour drive from Sydney. Kye was tagged in the pic, suggesting that the pair headed off on another romantic trip together.

May 2024

Kye was once again mysteriously tagged in a post by Yana in May 2023, but can’t be seen. It shows Yana competing in a surf competition in Newport on Sydney’s Northern Beaches.

July 2024

Kye popped up again in Yana’s post in July 2024, and this time he was in front of the camera again. Yana captioned the carousel “Lil trip”, and it appears that the couple went dirt bike riding together.

October 2024

October 2024 marked Kyle and Yana’s first solo couple photo on the gram, and the location was tagged as Annuka Beach Resort. However, there was some crazy foreshadowing in the comments section, with a now-deleted user writing: “He’s cheated on every gf he’s had pls beware before u txt the gfs gc broken x.”

December 2024

In December 2024, Yana shared a photo dump from the start of summer, and Kye can be spotted sipping a drink with some fresh oysters in front of him.

Christmas 2024

Yana doubled up with the Kye content in December 2024, posting some cute snaps of her and her boyfriend spending Christmas together.

January 2025

Things appeared to still be going strong between Kye and Yana in January of this year, as Kyle was tagged in a selection of pics of Yana in Seal Rocks. However, the same user who ominously warned Yana about Kye in October was back in the comments section. “Dating a guy with a horrendous past is really embarrassing please beware,” they wrote.

February 2025

Kye and Yana took things international with a trip to LA and Brazil in February 2025, but it seemed to spell the end of the couple, as the pics are the last photos posted online of them together.

March 2025

In March, Yana posted a clip to her Instagram story showing her friend running to her car, captioning it “Who needs a bf?”, which implied that she was single.

When was Love Island Australia 2025 filmed?

Unlike the UK and USA versions of Love Island, which are filmed live, the Australian iteration is pre-recorded.

While exact filming dates haven’t been released to the public, it’s understood that filming generally takes place from late July to late August. If that’s correct, it looks like Yana and Kye broke up around five months prior to filming the dating reality show.

However, Yana and Kye have since rekindled their flame on Love Island Australia, and headed to the hideaway together for a spicy night on November 20.

Love Island Australia airs Monday – Thursday on 9Now.

Which Love Island Australia 2025 couples are still together?

16 December 202516 December 2025 by Danica Baker

With the Love Island Australia 2025 finale wrapped, it’s safe to say this season has delivered. Think tears, heartbreaks, dramatic break-ups and even more dramatic make-ups.

But now comes the question on everyone’s lips: which couples are actually still going strong, and which ones haven’t spoken in months? Let’s get into it.

Sharn and Ross

*Ross and Sharn from Love Island Australia. Image: Nine.*

Sharn and Ross quickly became one of the most talked-about couples in the Love Island Villa, thanks to their instant chemistry and refreshingly real connection. The couple were coupled up from day one, and it looks like they’re still going strong.

In a post-win interview, Yana and Kye confirmed that the couple are still together.

“Sharn and Ross are together,” Yana told Chattr, with Kye explaining that they watched the finale with thier friends in Byron, which isn’t why they didn’t attend the watch party Kye and Yana had with Gabby, Connor and Isabel.

While the season was still airing, Love Island pro Olan Tekkers recently attended the TikTok Awards after party, and said Sharn and Ross were still very much together.

“Ross and Sharn are definitely still together, very much publicly declaring their love for each other. So, I don’t know if they make it to the finals or not, but they’re still together,” he said.

Sharn has also updated her LinkedIn location to the Gold Coast, which is a stone’s throw from Ross’s town of Byron Bay.

Additionally, they were pictured on dates in Adelaide and leaving the TikTok awards together, alongside Isabel and Connor.

Verdict: Still together.

Kye and Yana

Yana and Kye’s Love Island journey was a rollercoaster. What started on the outside as a relationship quickly turned into an ex status… until Kye arrived in the Love Island villa with his tongue wagging — literally, during episode 5.

At first, Yana wasn’t having a bar of it, but eventually their love prevailed, and they got back together in the villa.

In a post-finale interview, Kye and Yana confirmed that they’re still very much together in and in love.

“We’re officially together,” Yan told Chattr. Kye added that he’s planning something romantic to ask Yana to be his girlfriend again.

“I’m going to make it a big special one, I think she deserves something nice with some balloons,” he said.

Prior to the finale, Yana dropped a big clue that she was with Kye, as she wore the bracelet that Kye made and gifted her in the villa to a White Fox event.

Verdict: Still together.

Jotham and Jaide

They may be the newest pair in the finale lineup, but Jotham and Jaide recently locked in their relationship on the show by making it exclusive.

During a post-win interview, Yana revealed that Jotham and Jaide have split since the villa.

“I don’t think Jotham and Jaide are [together anymore],” she told Chattr.

Earlier in the season, Jotham dropped a hint during a podcast interview that suggested that they’re no longer together.

“The statement of me having a girlfriend before, on, during and after [the show] is just not true at all,” he said, and that specific reference to having no girlfriend after the show certainly raises eyebrows.

Verdict: Not together.

Mateo and Tamara

Mateo and Tamara split before even leaving the villa; however, Tamara revealed on the Officially Unpacked podcast that they’ve been spending some time together in Australia.

“I did spend a couple of days with him in Sydney last week, and we have been talking a lot more,” she said on December 12.

Tamara said she and Mateo weren’t in contact immediately after filming, but started talking on FaceTime when she went back to the UK.

“It was before our entrance episode, and we were kind of just checking in on each other. And then we started talking a little bit more. And then we both were just in Sydney last week, and we spent a little bit of time together,” she explained.

However, while Mateo didn’t completely rule out the possibility of getting back with Tamara, he did point out later in the interview that the former couple haven’t spent any time together one-on-one.

Verdict: Stay tuned!

Mick and Emma

Mick and Emma were dumped from the villa right before the finale, and Mick has revealed that they haven’t seen each other since they left Spain.

“I haven’t seen Emma since the villa, to be honest,” he said on the Officially Unpacked podcast.

“I think she was a really good girl, like, really fun. I think out all the girls I met in the villa, she was someone I really clicked with and had a really good time. But she lives on the Gold Coast. I live in Melbourne.”

“I think we both knew, once we got out of there, that look, we tried in there and we did form a genuine connection in there, and we did ride it out. But look, when I got out of there, I was like, okay, like, what, what do I really want right now? And I think, I want to focus on my career and doing what I want to do. And… I just think she’s probably doing the same thing right now. And I wish her the best.”

Verdict: Not together.

Kodi and Dylan

When the Islanders were offered a $20,000 cash prize—on the condition that taking it meant leaving the villa and automatically dumping their partner—Dylan grabbed the money and left Kodi high and dry.

Although Kodi was frustrated at Dylan during her exit interview, the preview for the Love Island Australia finale showed her walking in hand in hand with Dylan, suggesting that they may have made amends.

Verdict: Unlikely, but possible.

The Love Island Australia 2025 finale airs on Monday, December 15th on 9Now and9Go.

Love Island winners Kye and Yana open up on wedding and baby plans: ‘Hell yeah!’

16 December 202516 December 2025 by Danica Baker

Yana and Kye were officially crowned the winners of Love Island Australia 2025, and in a post-finale interview with Chattr, the happy couple have opened up about their future plans together.

Yana confirmed that she and Kye are very much together, but revealed she’s still waiting for Kye to ask her to be his girlfriend.

“We’re officially together, we have been the whole time [since leaving the villa],” she told Chattr, adding: “he hasn’t asked me to be his girlfriend yet.”

While Kye also confirmed to Chattr that they’re dating, he revealed he has something in the works for when he officially pops the girlfriend question.

“I’m going to make it a big special one, I think she deserves something nice with some balloons,” he said.

Both Yana and Kye said their relationship has been going great outside the villa, and when asked if they could see a wedding on the cards one day, Yana responded: “Hell yeah, babies and all.”

Kye echoed Yana’s sentiments, saying he can see a life with her. “Yeah, definitely we’re on track, we’re definitely doing better than we ever have, so it’s looking good!”

Yana added that she and Kye are grateful for their time on Love Island Australia, saying the experience taught them a lot about their relationship and that they won’t be repeating the same mistakes they made before entering the villa.

“The communication [we learnt was] the biggest one for us. And just realising each other on a deeper level, I think the villa brings us closer than we’ve ever been. We’ve both definitely matured and grown a lot in in there, and taking that out into the outside world, and everyone’s noticing it, all our families and friends.

She said she and Kye will be spending Christmas and New Year’s together and have plans to head up to the Gold Coast to visit their families. Yana added that despite her mum’s initial shock at seeing her and Kye back together during the family calls that aired in the finale, she’s now thrilled they’ve reunited.

“She’s happy now that she’s spoken to Kye and everything, she’s super stoked. And dad was so happy to see Kye, because he always loved Kye, so he was super happy to see that Kye ended up on the show as well, and we ended up together.

What are Kye and Yana planning on spending their prize money on?

In an unprecedented twist right before the finale, viewers saw the remaining Islanders offered a cash prize of $20,000, but taking it meant they’d have to leave the villa immediately.

Dylan decided to take the cash and bail, and after he made his decision, host Sophie Monk announced that the money would be deducted from the total prize, meaning that Kye and Yana only bagged $30,000 for their win.

“It’s a bit s**t now that we’ve won,” Yana laughed.

Kye added that he understood why Dylan took the money, but said it wasn’t ideal that it affected their total winnings.

“It made sense for him to take it, there were three solid couples in the end, and it was probably the right decision in the moment. But, also, now that we have won, it’s a bit disappointing.”

Yana was clearly a fan favourite this season and Kye said he believes she’s the reason they won Love Island Australia, so he wants her to enjoy the prize money.

“Yana’s now made a massive Christmas list, with a lot of Louis Vuitton on it, and I think we winning was definitely because of her, so I think I’ll treat her for Christmas this year,” he said.

Congrats to Kye and Yana!

Yana and Kye have been crowned the winners of Love Island Australia 2025

15 December 202515 December 2025 by Danica Baker

Yana and Kye have officially been crowned the winners of Love Island Australia 2025.

The couple, who were in a long-term relationship before the show, entered the villa separately. After a rocky start to the season, they found their way back to each other and exchanged “I love yous” just days before the finale.

After host Sophie Monk announced that they were the winners, Kye told Sophie he was shocked, and Yana added it was “crazy”.

Ahead of the finale, Gabby told Chattr that she was backing the couple and believed Kye had what it takes to be the partner Yana needs post-villa.

“Kye is a big, soft teddy bear, and you actually don’t get to see that side of him,” she said.

Gabby explained that Yana was a lot more cautious about diving back into a relationship with Kye, and said he would gush about her in their daily conversations.

“Yana was the one who had her walls up in there with Kye, and he was just obsessed with Yana,” she told Chattr. “We would sit there at lunchtimes, and all he would talk about was her.

“You don’t get to see everyone’s full potential and the real human beings that we are.”

Are Yana and Kye still together?

It looks that way! One of Yana’s friends has dropped a major hint that she and Kye are still together. The friend Jamie-Lee shared a video on TikTok of Kye carrying Yana down a road at night.

In the comments section, a fan called Kye a “red flag” and Jamie’s response sounded as though Kye and Yana are still going strong.

“He has grown up so much. He also loves her so much,” she wrote.

She also posed with Kye for a photo with long-term Love Island couple, Nate and Georgia, suggesting that they’re, at very least, on good terms.

Have the winners of Love Island Australia 2025 already leaked?

15 December 202515 December 2025 by Danica Baker

The Love Island Australia 2025 finale is upon us, with three couples still in the running to take out the crown — but has the winner already been leaked?

The Superfans voted Ross and Sharn, Yana and Kye and Jotham and Jaide through to the finale, and now viewers have the power, as the winner is decided by public vote.

Passionate fans have made their opinions loud and clear online, and one couple has emerged as the clear frontrunner.

Which couple do fans think will win Love Island Australia?

A Love Island Australia Facebook fan group poll has drawn hundreds of responses, and if it reflects the wider public vote, this season’s winner is a shoo-in.

At the time of writing, Kye and Yana were leading the poll with 79% of the vote, while Ross and Sharn sat a distant second on 13%, and Jotham and Jaide trailed further behind with just 8%.

However, while many viewers voted for former exes Yana and Kye, much of the support appeared to be for Yana individually, rather than for the couple as a pair. That’s likely to do with the fact that Kye betrayed Yana during Hotel Amor when he hooked up with Emma.

However, despite Kye’s wandering eye, their villa-bestie Gabby believes he has what it takes to step up and be the man Yana needs in the real world.

“Kye is a big, soft teddy bear, and you actually don’t get to see that side of him,” she told Chattr.

“Yana was the one who had her walls up in there with Kye, and he was just obsessed with Yana,” she said. “We would sit there at lunchtimes, and all he would talk about was her.

“You don’t get to see everyone’s full potential and the real human beings that we are.”

How to vote for the Love Island Australia 2025 winner

The finale is just a matter of hours away, but there’s still time to vote for your favourite couple!

To do so, simply head to the official Love Island website here and choose the pair you want to win. However, you’ll have to be quick as voting closes on Monday, December 15 2024, 9.32pm (AEDT).

Good luck to all the Love Island Australia 2025 finalists!

Does Love Island’s Gabby think Kye has what it takes to be the man Yana needs?

15 December 202515 December 2025 by Danica Baker

Kye and Yana both labelled their pre-villa relationship toxic before reuniting in the Love Island Australia villa. While things turned rocky after Kye hooked up with Emma at Hotel Amor, the pair have since made amends and are heading into the 2025 finale together.

However, despite exchanging “I love yous” in a recent episode, fans remain wary of Kye’s treatment of Yana — and her villa bestie Gabby has weighed in on whether he can really be the man she needs.

During an interview with Chattr, Gabby confirmed that she “100%” believes Kye will be a good partner to Yana post-villa, adding that there was a lot that viewers didn’t get to see.

“Kye is a big, soft teddy bear, and you actually don’t get to see that side of him,” she said.

Gabby explained that Yana was a lot more cautious about diving back into a relationship with Kye, and said he would gush about her in their daily conversations.

“Yana was the one who had her walls up in there with Kye, and he was just obsessed with Yana,” she told Chattr. “We would sit there at lunchtimes, and all he would talk about was her.

“You don’t get to see everyone’s full potential and the real human beings that we are.”

Why Gabby backed Yana and Kye getting back together post Hotel Amor

Gabby and Yana grew extremely close in the Love Island villa, and fans have questioned why Gabby encouraged her bestie to get back with Kye after he strayed in Hotel Amor with Emma.

However, Gabby explained that Yana and Kye hadn’t agreed to be exclusive before their nights away separately, and said they’d only just started exploring the idea.

“I’ve been so supportive of them because Kye is going to Hotel Amor, they weren’t anything like they had only just opened up the idea of getting back together and all those sorts of things. So I think that she’s been able to move on [and continue their relationship now], because they weren’t actually together.”

Gabby added that she’s still really close to Yana and Kye, telling Chattr that they have her vote to win the finale.

Who left Love Island Australia 2025?

12 December 202512 December 2025 by Danica Baker

The singles have been mingling on Love Island Australia 2025, but — with only so many beds available, and a whole lot of hot new bombshells to come — not all of the OG Islanders can stick around.

The first episode of Love Island Australia 2025 saw five women and five men enter the villa. But it wasn’t long before the first bombshell, Gabby, popped up. To make things even, Mick followed in her footsteps as the first male bombshell.

As the general premise of the show goes, the men and women take turns to pick their love interest at the fire pit. The islanders who aren’t selected in the recoupling ceremony are unceremoniously dumped from the villa.

Read on to find out who’s been eliminated from Love Island Australia 2025 so far.

Who’s been eliminated from Love Island Australia 2025 so far?

Mick and Emma

Mick and Emma narrowly missed out on the Love Island Australia finale, as they were the last couple dumped before the big event.

After Dylan took the money and ran, the Superfans voted for their favourite three couples, and Mick and Emma didn’t make the cut.

Dylan and Kodi

When the Islanders were offered a $20,000 cash prize — on the condition that taking it meant leaving the villa and automatically dumping their partner — Dylan grabbed the money and left. That meant that Kodi was yeeted out of Love Island Australia as well.

Gabby and Josh

Day one bombshell — and one of the main characters of the season — Gabby self-eliminated from Love Island in the final moments of Episode 27.

She’d been picked by new bombshell Josh in the previous episode, but didn’t find much of a connection. So, when the remaining six couples were gathered at the fire pit and informed by text that they must choose between them which couple would leave, Gabby volunteered.

“Guys, I think I’m just gonna say a few words. I think that f**k the vote. You know, let’s cut bulls**t. I keep it real around here. I think that you five deserve to go to the finale, all of you equally,” she began.

Gabby told her fellow Islanders that she’s been having a rough time since she and Jotham split after Hotel Amor.

“I think that I’ve reflected on my journey, and I think my Love Island experience definitely came to an end when you walked through the doors after Hotel Amor, and it’s been a f**king struggle since then. But I love you all, and I hope I taught you guys that baddies get saddies, and it’s okay to wear your heart on your sleeve,” she finished.

Unfortunately for Josh, that meant that he was eliminated by default, too.

Tamara and Mateo

Tamara and Mateo had a rather bizarre dumping, in comparison to previous Love Island eliminations. Rather than being voted out by the Superfans or their fellow Islanders, they were simply brought to the front of the fire pit by host Sophie Monk and told they were going home.

“Tamara and Mateo, you failed to build on a connection with each other, you failed to be chosen by the final two bombs, sorry guys, but your time in the villa is now up,” she told them.

Bailey, Boston, Mia and Alex

The December 2 episode of Love Island Australia 2025 saw a mass exodus of Islanders, with four sent packing.

The six Islanders who had been in the villa the longest had the power to choose their partners, and it was Mia, Bailey, Alex, Boston, Tamara and Mateo who weren’t chosen. However, Tamara was saved when the OG Islanders were allowed to pick one of the singles, and she chose to couple up with Mateo, who also remained in the villa.

Isabel and Conor

In a shock elimination ceremony, Isabel was voted least favourite contestant by the Love Island Superfans, and was dumped from the villa.

However, it wasn’t all heartbreak for the 27-year-old; her partner, Connor, decided to leave the villa too, despite not being voted off, making a first for the show.

“You know that never in the history of Love Island Australia has anyone ever left with someone,” host Sophie Monk announced when Connor decided to go with Isabel.

But, Isabel still wasn’t happy about the Superfans’ decision.

“I feel like we’ve been the most authentic in here and our connection has been the most authentic, so if they can’t f**king see that, they get f**ked,” she told Sophie.

Lacey

Lacey was sent home after Sophie Monk gave Ross, Mateo and Jotham the chance to choose one female to leave. It came down to Gabby, Yana and Lacey, before she left in tears.

Lacey didn’t want to leave Kye, who she felt like she had a genuine connection with.

On Instagram, Lacey said she was grateful to have her Love Island Australia experience. “Came in hot, stirred the pot, and served main character energy all season long. My back’s still sore and recovering from carrying the season,” she joked.

“Beyond all the chaos, laughter, crying, and drama, the villa truly felt like family. I’m so grateful for every connection, experience, lesson and every heart I met along the way.”

Cooper

Cooper had a rough trot in the Love Island Australia villa, and his departure was no exception. The Islanders were called to the firepit, where Sophie Monk revealed one boy would be leaving.

The Islanders paired off until it was just Yana left standing. She had to choose between her ex, Kye, or Cooper, whom she’d originally coupled up with, but didn’t find a connection. She opted for her ex, and Cooper had a tantrum before leaving the villa (hopefully) forever.

Zac and Bailey

Zac and Bailey were the first two Islanders to be sent home from Love Island Australia 2025, a bittersweet twist, given they’d coupled up on the very first day in the villa.

However, the pair didn’t leave as a couple, with things fizzling out after Zac pulled away from the Canadian model upon learning she didn’t want to have kids.

After breaking things off with Bailey, Zac pursued Sharn, who was initially interested but, after getting to know Zac, decided she wanted to focus on her current partner, Ross.

Bailey moved on from Zac with bomb Mick, but Mick was more interested in Yana, and picked her at the recoupling ceremony.

Unlike previous years, Zac and Bailey weren’t the last Islanders left standing as the other singles picked their match. Instead, bombs Mick and Gabby had their first picks, and then the remaining islanders had to band together by gender, and choose someone of the opposite sex from the remaining pool to send home.

This week we’ve seen Gabby, Josh, Kodi, Dylan, Matteo, Tamara, Mick and Emma all leave the villa.

How to vote for the winner of Love Island 2025

Unlike the international versions, Love Island Australia isn’t filmed live, so for the majority of the season, the public vote aspect is handed to the Superfans. The Superfans are a group of people selected by production who vote on dumpings and other challenges throughout the season.

However, the public regains power for the finale, with fans voting for the winner. To vote for your favourite couple, head to the official Love Island website here.

How to get your hands on those delicious looking Love Island Australia hard seltzers

12 December 202512 December 2025 by Danica Baker

Not only did Love Island Australia 2025 welcome a whole new bunch of Islanders to the villa, but it also introduced a brand-new hard seltzer to the show.

Throughout the season, the Besa Mi Vino hard seltzers have appeared again and again, and fans have been desperately Googling for information on how to try them for themselves.

So, we’ve popped together a guide that includes everything you need to know about the seltzers — and how you can get your hands on them in time for the festive season.

What are the seltzers the cast drink on Love Island Australia?

The hard seltzers are made by Besa Mi Vino and crafted with Australian wine. But with an alcohol content of 8%, they’re not for the faint-hearted — each can contains more than two standard drinks.

They come in standard flavours of watermelon and peach, and a third passionfruit flavour was made specifically for Love Island Australia. Fortunately, it’s also available for us mere mortals to buy.

Where to buy the Love Island Australia seltzers

While you may not have come across the Besa Mi Vino hard seltzers at your local bottle-o, they’re available at selected stores across Australia.

You can find your closest stockist on the official site here.

How much alcohol is the cast allowed to drink?

The Love Island Australia cast has an alcohol limit; however, Season 4 runner-up Callum Hole told Chattr that the limit increases towards the tail end of the show.

“Love Island, your maximum drink allowance is two drinks a night,” he said. “If you get to the final, they allow you to have maybe three [drinks].”

In an interview for the show’s podcast Officially Unpacked, the show’s creative director, Alex Mavroidakis, elaborated on why the limit is in place.

“First of all, people don’t look as good when they’re drunk, and Love Island is about people who look good,” he said. “Second of all, most importantly, people make stupid decisions when they’re drunk. We are so red hot on duty of care and consent.”

Executive producer Josie Steele explained that the strength of Besa Mi Vino hard seltzers had the production team reevaluate how much alcohol the Islanders were allowed.

“It used to be one. And now we have, this year we had an alcohol sponsor, Besa and those cans that those drinks come in are like two standard drinks, so we had heaps of meetings around whether that was going to be okay.”

The Love Island Australia 2025 finale airs on Monday, December 15th on 9Now and 9Go.

Producers explain the real reason Love Island Australia is pre-recorded: ‘This or nothing’

12 December 202512 December 2025 by Reena Gupta

As we hurtle towards the finale of Love Island Australia 2025, the question on many fans’ minds remains: why exactly is the Australian version of the beloved reality show pre-recorded, rather than broadcast live?

One of the show’s executive producers, Alex Mavroidakis, answered this very question on Love Island Australia Officially Unpacked, the show’s official podcast, where its producers addressed Love Island Australia fans’ burning questions.

Responding to a question about why the show is recorded in advance, he essentially said the answer comes down to… the weather. “Love Island Australia is commissioned by Channel Nine for November and December,” he begins. “They want to shoot it in Europe, but it’s bloody freezing in Spain during those months, so we have to shoot it in the European summer. That’s the only way to make the show work.”

He added that Channel Nine only broadcasts Love Island Australia from Monday to Thursday, meaning that the islanders would be left twiddling their thumbs for the remaining three days of the week. Mavroidakis stressed that “it’s either this or nothing”, pointing out that many other versions of the show, including those filmed in Norway, Sweden, Spain and Greece, do the same thing.

Of course, the main issue with the pre-recorded episodes is that fans of the show can’t vote, to which Alex responded: “It’s a shame… but so many of those comments I’m reading come from the UK and the US who can’t vote anyway. Come on guys, seriously.”

But fortunately for passionate Love Island fans, the 2025 winner will be decided by the public. Viewers can back their favourite of the final three couples, Sharn and Ross, Yana and Kye or Jotham and Jaide via the Love Island website.

Are Love Island Australia’s Superfans Real?

Many Love Island Australia fans are understandably bummed out that they’re unable to vote for their favourite islanders as the season progresses, due to the show not being live.

Instead, it’s the show’s controversial Superfans who call the shots, from who’s made vulnerable to who scores a date with a bombshell, and even who is sent home.

And while speculation abounds that these Superfans are fake, the producers have stressed on an earlier episode of the podcast that they’re the real deal.

“The Superfans are real,” Josie Steele, another of the show’s producers, said. “I wish they were fake sometimes, because it’s really hard managing them.”

“I’m gonna tell you right now, pinky swear. I’ll do this to my kids. The Superfans are real, and I don’t pinky swear lightly,” Alex said, adding that the reason that we don’t see any Love Island Australia Superfans is because they’ve all signed NDAs.

Love Island Australia: Has Reddit uncovered Jotham’s ‘secret girlfriend’?

11 December 202511 December 2025 by Danica Baker

Rumours that Jotham Russell had a girlfriend during Love Island Australia 2025 took off after Gabby claimed that he was involved with someone on the outside while dating her in the villa, and Reddit users believe they’ve found the girl involved.

In November, Gabby was asked by TikToker Olan Tekkers why her then on-screen partner Jotham wasn’t at an event with her, and she claimed he was “at home with his girlfriend that he had the whole time throughout the whole show”.

Shortly after, Gabby told Chattr that her fellow male Islanders recently told her that he had a girlfriend while he was on the show.

“He told all the boys that he had a girl on the outside. The boys told it back to me,” she said.

After the news went viral, Jotham claimed in an interview with TV Week that he never had a “secret girlfriend,” however, he did acknowledge that he was seeing someone before.

“I was definitely talking to someone before the villa – to a few people. Some I was seeing more than others. But it was pretty much just that. I barely even went on dates. I haven’t really been much of a dater on the outside. I don’t do dinner dates,” he said.

Who is Jotham from Love Island’s secret girlfriend?

Reddit users have put their detective hats on, and many are convinced they’ve uncovered the woman Jotham was allegedly involved with, named Bhodi.

It’s important to note that the woman hasn’t publicly claimed to be Jotham’s girlfriend, nor has she said so anywhere on social media. However, story posts in her highlights have shown that she went to Japan with Jotham earlier this year, along with his brother Tynna and his girlfriend Jorgee.

Jotham has also liked a LOT of Bhodi’s photos this year, and can be found in the comments section of many of them.

One Reddit user pointed out that, despite the fact that Jotham may not have put a label on their relationship, it clearly looks as though Jotham and Bhodi are a couple.

“I mean come on… a YEARS long situationship that you travel with and take on family vacations??… If it looks like a duck and quacks like a duck, it’s a duck. That is basically his girlfriend that he just won’t officially call his gf so that he can f**k around. I really don’t think Gabby is too far off by saying [that’s] his gf,” they wrote.

Somewhere on the Gold Coast, Gabby is probably feeling pretty vindicated right now.

MAFS’ Dave confirms he’s alive after TikTok death rumour goes viral: ‘Inbox was full’

11 December 202511 December 2025 by Danica Baker

Married at First Sight (MAFS) star Dave Hand has confirmed that he’s well and truly alive after a bunch of viral TikToks picked up traction claiming that he died in a car accident.

The bizarre videos — which are likely created with AI and began in September — all feature cover images suggesting that Dave has passed away.

Fortunately, the MAFS 2024 groom has confirmed that the videos are a hoax, but said he was shocked when people started sending him them.

“It was pretty strange to be fair, not sure what’s going on, but I found it hilarious that there are so many videos,” Dave told Chattr.

“Surely it’s an AI/bot situation because anyone spending time making these needs a job. Actually, I could hire them to do some caulking. I’m super busy this time of year,” he laughed. “But honestly, it’s weird. My inbox was full of the TikTok vids, it was actually crazy.”

While the clips have been making the rounds on TikTok, it appears that most MAFS fans haven’t been falling for Dave’s death hoax.

“He didn’t die.. I work with his mum,” one person wrote, while another questioned the video. “Why would they say he died?”

Is Dave Hand returning to reality TV?

There have been rumours circulating that Dave will be joining the next season of Netflix’s Perfect Match. Dave’s MAFS ex Jamie Marinos has also confirmed to Chattr that she was asked to join the series, but turned the opportunity down.

“I was approached earlier this year, which was flattering, but it didn’t align with where I’m at personally or professionally. When I applied for MAFS – and throughout the entire process – I was completely authentic and genuinely hoping to build a real relationship. Maintaining that authenticity matters to me, and stepping into a dating environment that didn’t reflect that intention didn’t feel right,” she said.

Jamie said she’s now focused on future opportunities and while she’s open to love, she’s not looking on reality TV.

“Right now, my focus is on my mental health, my career, and opportunities that align with the direction I’m moving in. For me, it was the best decision not to be involved,” she continued.

Gabby reflects on what she learnt about herself on Love Island: ‘Self aware’

10 December 202510 December 2025 by Danica Baker

Warning: Spoilers below, so if you haven’t watched Love Island Australia Episode 26 and don’t want to know what happens, look away now!

Gabby’s exit from the Love Island Australia villa was nothing short of dramatic, staying true to the main character energy she’s been giving all season long.

During the episode that aired on December 10, the remaining 12 Islanders gathered at the firepit, where they were informed by text that one couple would be leaving, and the group would choose who that was. However, Gabby stood up and told the rest of the cast she’d leave, so they could all stay — which meant her partner new Bombshell Josh was automatically dumped too.

Gabby made her entrance as the very first Bombshell on Love Island Australia 2025, arriving in Episode 1. Since then, she’s been at the centre of countless dramas and has split viewers with her fierce personality. But love her or hate her, there’s no denying the 21-year-old delivers top-t i er reality TV.

Looking back on her time in the Love Island villa, Gabby told Chattr that her time on the show taught her so much about herself.

“I think spending so much time with yourself and your thoughts and your emotions, my feelings, — was like, wow. I have a lot to work on. Like, I have a lot of like, underlying things from my past or my childhood,” she said.

“I think I’ve really become a lot more self-aware since the experience, and obviously, like, I came out with so many best friends. I’m just so grateful and appreciative for all of it,” she added.

The villa certainly won’t be the same without Gabby, so would she consider returning for another Love Island season?

“I would definitely go back and do it all again,” she said.

Gabby shares why she’s so grateful for her Love Island Australia experience

Gabby found a connection with both Jotham and Dylan, but, unfortunately for her, neither coupling ended up working out.

However, she told Chattr that she’s so appreciative of the female friendships she made in the villa.

“I’m so grateful. We had a group of, like, five of us. It was me, Yana, Tamara, Sharn and Izzy, and we’re all super close still. Also, I made really good friends with Mia, Boston, and all of those girls. I mean, it’s a trauma bond that we’ll have for life,” she laughed.

But, when it came to the men of the villa, Gabby could only name a few who she’s still on good terms with.

“I’m really close with Kye,” Gabby told Chattr. “I love Kye, and I am friends with Mick. I’m super close to Connor as well. Mick’s a bit of a shit stirrer, but you love him like a brother at the end.

“I have so much love for Kye, Connor and Mick,” she added.

Home and Away dropped from major network slot in shock move: ‘That’s mean’

9 December 20259 December 2025 by Rachel Choy

Is the future of Home and Away at stake? Following in the footsteps of Neighbours, Channel 5 in the UK has removed the Aussie soap from its daytime slot, and viewers will only be able to watch it on streaming during the day.

Fans will remember that Channel 5 dropped Neighbours in 2022, which ultimately led to its cancellation (before being revived by Amazon FreeVee in 2023 and then finishing again in 2025).

“[The show is] moving exclusively to streaming for daytime viewing,” a Channel 5 spokesperson told Digital Spy. This will take place in January, so loyal daytime watchers will need to use the network’s streaming app instead.

“Moving daytime episodes exclusively to streaming is a natural next step, reflecting how audiences want to engage with their favourite content,” Channel 5’s Commissioning Editor Greg Barnett said. “Home and Away has been a phenomenal success for us on streaming.”

However, there’s one difference between Home and Away and Neighbours. Summer Bay fans will still be able to get their fix in the UK on 5Star, with new episodes still airing at 6.30pm each night. Plus, unlike Neighbours, Home and Away relies primarily on Australian viewers and funding from Channel Seven.

It was also previously revealed by Channel 5’s Director of Programmes that Home and Away has a “life-of-series deal”, meaning the channel will continue to air it as long as it is produced.

“I think it will be interesting to see what we do with it as we evolve. There might be somewhere else to put it in the [Channel] 5 spectrum. But it’s a life-of-series deal, so it’s not going anywhere until the makers decide to cancel it,” Ben Frow told Radio Times magazine in 2022.

Home and Away fans react to the ‘bad news’

When Channel 5’s decision was shared on a popular Home and Away Facebook group, many were worried about the soap’s future.

“Gosh… I hope that isn’t a move towards ending it showing in [the] UK,” one person said.

“That is bad news for the UK following Home and Away,” another added.

“That’s alright if you can stream it but [not] everyone can,” an annoyed fan wrote.

“That’s mean, just glad I’ve got a new TV so can stil watch it,” another chimed in.

Home and Away airs Mondays – Thursdays at 7pm on Channel 7 and 7Plus.

Big Brother’s Coco reveals her first date plans with Bruce: ‘After Christmas’

9 December 20259 December 2025 by Danica Baker

Big Brother Australia 2025’s Coco Beeby not only walked away with the winner’s title and $135,000 richer, but she also left the house with a budding romance with Bruce Dunne.

So, what’s next for the new couple? While host Mel Tracina pressed Bruce’s parents about whether there’d be a “chair” at the Christmas table for Coco, the Big Brother winner said she wants to focus on spending time with her three kids, and will catch up with Bruce after the festive holiday.

“I’m just gonna go home and lap up the next three weeks with my kids, with Chrissy and then, yeah, I’ve got a bit of time after Christmas that hopefully we’ll be able to catch up, have a surf, have a coffee, and get to catch up without the cameras beaming down on us,” she told Chattr.

Coco added that she only got to see Bruce for a brief moment after she won Big Brother, before she was whisked away to a hotel for winner’s duties.

“I saw him briefly after the show, but we haven’t actually got a chance to catch up either, so that’ll be nice to catch up with him when we eventually can.”

However, Bruce clearly stayed busy post-finale, with Holly sharing a video of her in the front seat of his car as she, Bruce and Colin drove off after the show wrapped.

When asked about her future with Bruce, Coco stayed coy but said she was looking forward to seeing how things go in the real world.

“I’m not thinking too far ahead. I’m just looking forward to getting to know him a bit more. And… without the cameras and the mics on us.”

Coco on Bruce’s growth in the Big Brother house

Bruce entered the Big Brother house with strong opinions, but when Coco called him out for the abrasive way he handled the Grand BB Hotel task — scoffing down the guests’ food with Holly and snapping at housemates — he did some self-reflection.

At the finale, he told Big Brother that the Bruce that walked into the house wouldn’t recognise the man he’s turned into during the show, because of his tremendous personal growth.

Reflecting on how much Bruce changed from the start of Big Brother, Coco said that she believes the softer side of Bruce is actually his true self.

“I think that was actually him, truly being himself,” she said. “I think he was caught up. It’s an emotional roller coaster [being on Big Brother], and everything is magnified, and tensions are high, and, like most, combust. So I think what we saw towards the end of the show with Bruce was him being his true, authentic self, and I think that’s what made me fall for him.”

Aww!

Leaked Big Brother photos reveal truth about Holly: ‘Chummy with production’

9 December 20259 December 2025 by Rachel Choy

Holly Young was one of the most well-known Big Brother Australia housemates prior to going in as a contestant, with over 100K followers on Instagram and a successful modelling career. There have been consistent rumours about her being an “industry plant”, and one fan who attended the Big Brother Australia finale pointed out an interesting detail.

“I know there’s been speculation as well as mysterious ‘behind-the-scenes’ staff alluding to the fact that Holly was known by production and assisting them (all alleged),” the fan wrote on Reddit. “But I couldn’t help but notice how chummy she was with producers and even the voice of Big Brother (last pic). I need to stress that these weren’t just ‘hi and byes’, she spent a considerable amount of time talking with them, which no other housemate did.

“Obviously she was there for Colin’s eviction but given that Conor and Ed were the only other evicted housemates there, it does make you wonder why Vinnie wasn’t there while Holly was, despite being evicted after her.”

The Big Brother Australia fan noted that Conor also interacted with the crew, but it wasn’t as extensive as Holly’s conversations. “She basically spent most of her time in the back working the room… it wasn’t the same [as Conor],” they explained.

The Redditor also included three photos of Holly looking close with the production crew from the Big Brother Australia finale.

Big Brother Australia fans divided over Holly’s relationship with production

Many Big Brother Australia fans agreed with the theory that Holly was “chummy” with production, with one saying: “She knows them all! And they definitely poached her, it was all a publicity stunt. On the live when Holly was getting a lot of negative attention they wouldn’t show her on the camera, she would walk into a room [and] bam, camera change. It was so highly edited what we saw even on live.”

“If you don’t think Holly got special treatment inside that house you’re delusional,” another added.

However, others pointed out that since Holly works in the modelling industry it makes sense she was trying to network for future opportunities.

“Holly is a schmoozer; she has to be to succeed in her industry and so that all tracks,” one pointed out.

“She has a 115K following on Instagram, and is heavily in the entertainment industry as an influencer and model, so of course she is going to be chummy with production since it’s a good networking opportunity for her. Maybe even production knows they could benefit with networking with her, as she has international connections in America and Europe,” another wrote.

“She’s being polite. I really hope you people go touch grass now that [Big Brother Australia] is over,” a third chimed in.

We’ll see what happens next, but our money’s on Holly joining another Australian reality TV show in the not-too-distant future.

Coco reacts to deleted video of Holly and Bruce driving together after Big Brother finale: ‘Interesting’

9 December 20259 December 2025 by Danica Baker

Almost immediately after the Big Brother Australia finale aired and Coco Beeby was announced the winner, Holly Young shared a video of her in Bruce Dunne’s car, who Coco shared a romantic connection with on the show.

As Big Brother fans will know, Coco and Holly had a tumultuous relationship in the house, which certainly didn’t end amicably when Holly called her out in her goodbye message. “Coco, thank you for reminding me why I don’t trust females,” Holly began. “I’m so disappointed with how you’ve treated our relationship. Looking back at it now, I realise that it was pretty much just all fake.”

The video, which still remains on Holly’s TikTok account but was deleted from her Instagram stories overnight, showed Bruce driving a convertible with the top down, Holly sitting alongside him in the front seat, and Colin in the back seat. So, did Bruce riding off into the sunset with Holly immediately after her win upset Coco?

“I didn’t even know that,” Coco told Chattr in a post-win interview. “[But I’m] totally sweet with it.”

Coco stressed that Holly and Bruce hanging out didn’t bother her at all, adding, “You know what? That doesn’t faze me, not one bit.”

The mum of three took the high road when asked if she thought Holly posted the video for clout.

“I don’t think so,” she said. “I haven’t even been on my phone, I haven’t even opened up Instagram. So, yeah, it’s interesting, but it’s all good.”

Did Bruce and Coco hang out after the Big Brother finale?

Both Bruce and Coco raved about their budding relationship during their televised interviews with Big Brother host Mel Tracina.

However, winning Big Brother comes with a whirlwind of commitments, and Coco only caught a moment with Bruce before being whisked away for her winner’s duties.

“I saw him briefly after the show, but we haven’t actually got a chance to catch up either, so it’ll be nice to catch up with him when we eventually can,” she told Chattr.

In fact, Coco was so busy with all of her commitments that she wasn’t able to spend the night with her three kids, who she’d just been reunited with.

“I pretty much just had to go off stage. I went,and I hugged my kids for about 20 minutes, and then I made my way to the hotel,” she said.

“The hardest part was having to let them go again. I reassured them that I’m not going back into the Big Brother house and that I’d be able to talk to them. But I’ll be reunited with them tomorrow, and I can’t wait to just lap that.”

Congratulations to Coco for winning Big Brother Australia 2025!

Big Brother fans complain technical glitch stopped them from voting for Emily: ‘Rigged’

9 December 20259 December 2025 by Danica Baker

The Big Brother Australia 2025 finale saw Coco Beeby crowned winner and fan-favourite Emily Dale finish runner-up, but some viewers say their votes for Emily on the eve of the finale weren’t registering.

The Big Brother winner was decided by the public, with fans choosing between Coco, Emily, Bruce, Alanna or Colin. However, in a now-deleted comment on a fan Facebook group, multiple people complained that they tried to vote for Emily ahead of the finale and it didn’t work.

“Big Brother Australia, I wanted to raise a concern and see if anyone else experienced the same issue with the Big Brother Australia voting. When attempting to vote, I was unable to submit a vote for my first choice, Emily. However, when I selected Coco, the vote went through without any issues, [it] left me feeling disappointed and confused, as voting should be fair and accessible for all viewers,” the post read.

A few minutes after the post was published, two people replied, with one saying they’d had the same issue, and the other commenting that someone else had the same problem.

Although the post was deleted, a screenshot of it resurfaced in another fan group, and even more people chimed in saying they’d experienced issues voting for Emily.

“I couldn’t get on to vote for Emily, but when I finally did get on and went to click her name, it said voting has ended. Rigged,” one person wrote.

“I had the same issue and had to attempt 3 times before the system allowed an Emily vote… What’s done is done. Congrats, Coco,” another penned.

However, some other fans said that the issue didn’t just affect Emily’s votes.

“Mine was doing this with Coco’s vote, so I think it was just having problems,” one person wrote, while another aid: “I ended up having to go on the actual website instead of the app for my vote to go through. I wanted to vote for CoCo & couldn’t, so it’s not just for Emily.”

A third said, “My vote for Coco wouldn’t go through either.”

Did Emily have an interview after getting evicted from Big Brother Australia?

Alanna, Bruce and Colin all spent time with host Mel Tracina after being evicted from the Big Brother house, an opportunity that runner-up Emily appeared to miss out on.

After Coco was announced the winner, Emily was asked to leave the house, and viewers watching from home didn’t see her on the stage at all.

However, a video circulating on social media has shown Emily quickly crossing the stage, before being walked into the crowd by Big Brother narrator Mike Goldman so she could be reunited with her husband.

The appearance had viewers wondering if Emily perhaps got an interview, but there wasn’t enough time to show it on TV. However, two-time Big Brother winner Reggie Sorensen, who was in the audience, confirmed that Emily didn’t.

“I was there in the audience, Emily got bugger all, so sad,” she commented on the official Big Brother Instagram post.

Big Brother Australia: Everything you need to know about the finale

8 December 20258 December 2025 by Rachel Choy

Big Brother Australia 2025 feels like it’s only just begun, but the finale episode is just around the corner. The Big Brother Australia finale will air on Channel 10 on Monday, December 8, which is just days away.

There are currently still seven housemates left in the running for the $100,000 prize, so how on earth will Big Brother evict that many people in such a short amount of time?

Here’s everything we know about the Big Brother Australia finale, including when it airs.

Who’s in the Big Brother Australia 2025 finale?

There are currently seven housemates left, so the Big Brother Australia finale could include Allana, Bruce, Coco, Colin, Conor, Ed and Emily. However, four housemates are up for eviction this Sunday: Conor, Ed, Colin and Coco.

When is the Big Brother Australia 2025 finale?

The Big Brother Australia 2025 grand finale will take place on Monday, December 8 at 7:30pm on Channel 10 and 10Play.

Who wins Big Brother Australia?

The winner will be announced live, but Vinnie has weighed in on who he would like to see take out the show.

“I would love Emily to win Big Brother,” he told Chattr. “I think the money would go a long way in her life. I think she is going to be a young mom.

“Her and her husband are going to plan to have kids soon. She’s going to be an incredible mother. They have a mortgage together. I think that money could go a long way in setting up their family. She’s just a beautiful soul. She deserves that”

Ed is also firmly on Team Emily, telling Chattr that IRL she’s even “better than what everyone thinks she is.”

“Her one-liners are classic, she’s had everyone in stitches. She is awesome. I think she has a very, very good chance to take it out. I’d be absolutely over the moon if she won.”

At the beginning of the season, the first evictee, Michael, also told Chattr his prediction. “I know who’s going to win, it’s going to be Emily,” Michael said. “She’s the least offensive, and she flies under the radar in like a Reggie Bird kind of way… she’s just someone you can’t nominate.”

Michael claimed that Edward and Bruce are too “opinionated”, Conor “flies off the handle”, and everybody has an “annoying” trait, apart from Emily. “She’s just so lovely. So for that reason, I just can’t see her ever [getting] nominated.”

While we wait to find out more details about the Big Brother Australia finale, you can take a look at all the weird rules housemates have to follow.

Big Brother Australia 2025 airs Monday to Friday at 7.30pm, and Sundays at 7pm on Channel 10 and 10Play.

The Big Brother finale is here, and there are five housemates in the running to take it out, but has the winner already been leaked?

Coco, Emily, Colin, Alanna and Bruce are the final five, and passionate fans have flocked to social media to share who they’re voting for.

While the winner won’t be announced until the live finale, which airs at 7:30pm AEDT on Channel 10 and 10Play, fans’ online feedback has given a pretty good indication of who might take out the crown.

If you haven’t placed your vote yet, there’s still time! Head to the 10Play website or open the 10Play app, hit the Vote Now button and select the housemate you want to win.

One Big Brother Australia Facebook group ran a poll asking members to vote on who they think will win the show, and it drew hundreds of responses. And, there was one clear frontrunner with 49% of people voting for Emily to be crowned the winner.

In the second spot was Coco with 36% of the votes. Colin, Bruce and Alanna all received low votes to win, with 7%, 6% and 2% respectively.

Who do the Big Brother contestants think will win?

Throughout the season, Chattr has asked some of the evicted housemates who they think will win Big Brother Australia 2025, and like the Facebook fans, a lot of them are backing Emily.

“I would love Emily to win Big Brother,” Vinnie told Chattr. “I think the money would go a long way in her life. I think she is going to be a young mum.

First evictee Michael also said he was convinced that Emily would win.

I know who’s going to win, it’s going to be Emily,” Michael said. “She’s the least offensive, and she flies under the radar in like a Reggie Bird kind of way… she’s just someone you can’t nominate.”

Ed — who was evicted during a brutal letters from home segment on Friday, December 5, also raved about the primary school teacher.

“She’s better than what everyone thinks she is…. She is a ripper, she is so, so funny. She keeps on your toes, she’s such a great person, she’s also very down to earth, very caring,” he said.

“Her one-liners are classic, she’s had everyone in stitches. She is awesome. I think she has a very, very good chance to take it out. I’d be absolutely over the moon if she won.”

Big Brother Australia 2025 airs Monday to Friday at 7.30pm, and Sundays at 7pm on Channel 10 and 10Play.
