As an “obsessed” fan of the show growing up, Sophie Budack had long dreamt of competing on Big Brother – but she never expected to meet her perfect match once she finally made it into the house!
Sparks flew between the retired gymnast, 25, and hunky male model Chad Hurst, 27, the moment they laid eyes on each other.
“I saw him and was like, ‘Wow! This guy is incredibly good looking. Why have they put this amazing handsome man in the house?’” Sophie tells New Idea during a candid chat. “I went in [thinking] I’m not going to be distracted by any man or any pretty faces … I’m here to win a game! Of course, Chad and I rocked up together and I was like, ‘No! Why?!’”
Naturally, sceptical viewers quickly decided the blossoming relationship was a showmance strategically cooked up by the show’s producers to help ratings. However, Sophie insists that’s definitely not the case.
