Big Brother’s oldest and one of the most outspoken housemates, ‘Groovy Granny’ Jane Marshall-Doherty, has been evicted following last night’s shock double eviction.
Jane became the 13th housemate to enter the Big Brother house after the Australian public was given the choice between her and Mitch for the final spot. She quickly won over viewers with her confidence — but fans soon spotted a detail that, had it been revealed earlier, might have stopped Jane from claiming that 13th spot altogether.
As stated in her official Big Brother bio — which was published after she entered the house — Jane is a supporter of Donald Trump, and some fans have speculated whether this played a role in her early exit.
However, in an exclusive interview with Chattr, Jane explained that her admiration isn’t just political, it’s about family values.
“You know, half of America voted for him,” Jane spilled. “And his wife, she’s beautiful. The family is so well-spoken, and the grandchildren are amazing. He must be doing something right.”
“That’s why I like him,” she added.
Jane also made it clear she admires people who stick to their principles.
“That’s what he does. I’m not saying, ‘Come over here [Australia] and let’s all do this,’” she said. “He’s got a job to do — running his country, looking after his family, his children, his grandchildren,” she continued.
“I admire him. I admire the family for that.”
Fans respond to discovering Big Brother’s Jane is a Trump fan
After being vocal about supporting Donald Trump, as noted in her Big Brother bio, Jane has received a lot of backlash on social media. She told Chattr that, while she hasn’t seen the backlash herself, she understands why people might have strong opinions.
“Yikes, Jane is a passionate Trump supporter, that’s embarrassing, it’s literally in her bio on 10’s website,” one viewer commented, which another wrote: “Jane is a Trumpie; she needs to go.”
“Save anyone but Jane. Get the Trumpy out!” A third chimed in.
Big Brother’s Jane is a Charlie Kirk supporter, too
Jane’s respect for people who live by their principles doesn’t stop with Trump. She also told Chattr that she’s a supporter of the late Charlie Kirk, the conservative activist and founder of Turning Point USA. For Jane, it wasn’t just politics; it was his strong family values and Christian faith that stood out.
“Charlie Kirk, I probably supported him even more,” Jane shared. “It really affected me when he was murdered. It just hit me so hard, she continued.”
“He was a big Trump supporter, but I didn’t like him because of that. I admired him because he lived by his Christian values.”
While she admitted she didn’t agree with everything he did, Jane was still stunned by his loss.
“A young dad, a man like that, who was amazing in whatever he did,” she said.
“His family values were incredible, that’s why it hit me so much seeing his family lose their dad.”
Big Brother Australia 2025 airs Monday to Friday at 7.30pm, and Sundays at 7pm on Channel 10 and 10Play.
