The new Big Brother house is being constructed in an unlikely location after producers were evicted from the Manly compound
Channel Seven is set to introduce a brand-new house for the upcoming season of Big Brother VIP after the producers were evicted from the Manly compound.
‘Construction is now under way, in a Covid-safe manner, on the new custom-built house,’ a Seven spokesman told TV Blackbox on Wednesday.
According to the website, a self-contained complex is being built in Sydney Olympic Park, ahead of the celebrity housemates’ arrival next month.

The new Big Brother house has been approved by the local council, and will have a completely different feel compared to the previous two seasons on Seven.
The Manly complex that housed contestants during the 2020 and 2021 seasons was demolished in January, shortly after filming wrapped late last year.
Seven hired the huge warehouse early last year to film new episodes, instead of buying or renting a luxury home.

Producers were forced to find a new location after being served an eviction notice by the National Parks and Wildlife Service.

Furthermore, production company Endemol Shine apparently only had a two-season deal with the owners of the site.
Big Brother was previously filmed at a $13million house at Dreamworld, on the Gold Coast, but the property was burned down by vandals in 2019.

Big Brother host Sonia Kruger recently told KIIS 106.5 viewers will be genuinely excited for the VIP spin-off, thanks to its all-star cast.
‘I can just tell you there are some extraordinary internationals who will be taking part,’ she said.
Rumoured housemates include Vanderpump Rules star Jax Taylor, The Bachelorette’s Jamie Doran and Angela Clancy from last year’s season of Big Brother.
