Congratulations to Chad Hurst, who has won Big Brother Australia for 2020!
The live finale, held in Sydney this evening, saw the return of almost all its housemates to witness which of the top three – Daniel Gorringe, Chad Hurst or Sophie Budack – would take home the title.

As the international model was declared the winner of Big Brother, he was absolutely speechless.
So much so, he asked his mum to speak for him.
When he did finally managed to spit out a few words, Chad was so overwhelmed he dropped the F-bomb on live TV – and fans were a little shocked.
“Jesus. Didn’t they give them ANY media training?” one Twitter user commented.
“Congratulations Chad! Speechless except for the F-bomb. Perfect,” another wrote.
All things considered, we think he can be forgiven.
The win not only means the title of champion but also a grand cash prize of $235,000 (or so).
Originally the grand prize was set at $250,000 but thanks to a shock twist in the game, roughly $15,000 was deducted from the total.
Chad won the final challenge and the right to decide who he took to tonight’s live finale with him.
It was a no-brainer for Chad to bring Sophie, the girl he’s fallen for and formed an unbreakable alliance with, but the last housemate proved a difficult decision.
Torn between his heart – choosing Daniel – and his head – choosing Mat – ultimately it was Chad’s moral compass that made the decision, choosing the AFL star as the third spot.
While Chad believed he stood a better chance of beating Mat than Dan, the model felt Dan had played the better game, and therefore deserved the chance to win.
The rest was up to Australia!
And, after 24 hours of voting the first winner of Channel Seven’s revamped Big Brother (the most strategic and cunning version we’ve seen yet) was declared.
Congratulations Chad!
