‘It was weird going back’: Big Brother fan favourites make an emotional return to the set three months after filming Channel Seven reality show
They were three of the most memorable housemates from Seven’s Big Brother Australia reboot.
And on Sunday, Garth Saville, Mat Garrick and Ian Joass made a return to the Manly compound where the Channel Seven reality show finished filming in April.
Sharing a photo to his Instagram account of the fenced-off set, Garth, 50, revealed it felt ‘weird’ going back.

‘Took Mat & Ian on a drive around Sydney today and decided to visit the old Big Brother house,’ he wrote underneath the post.
Garth continued: ‘We all agreed it was weird going back and it actually was a little emotional.’
In the photo, Mat and Garth are seen wearing matching puffer jackets and shorts, while Ian opted for a long sleeve plaid shirt and jeans.

The Channel Seven reboot was filmed in a custom-built compound in Sydney, after the show’s original house at Dreamworld on the Gold Coast burnt down in 2019.

While it’s not clear if the series will be revamping the existing house or using a complete different location, the property remains fenced off and in tack.
The post comes as evicted star Hannah Campbell shared tips on how to impress producers during the application process.
‘Just be true to yourself. That’s what the producers want,’ Hannah, 26, urged.
The communications specialist said she saw people going ‘above and beyond to look ridiculous’, with some dressed in ‘extravagant’ clothing.
‘Just wear what you’d normally wear and talk about what you’d normally talk about, because you can’t be fake in the house forever,’ Hannah advised 2021 hopefuls.
