Melbourne mum of two Zoe George describes herself as “subtle as a brick to the face”.
The 39 year-old woodwork teacher and blogger is the latest name to be revealed as a Big Brother contestant.
Her confirmation comes as another contestant, Chad Hurst, has been captured in nude photos.
Hurst, described as the “sexiest housemate ever”, is seen in full frontal naked pictures.
The news was revealed by a TV Blackbox program featuring former Big Brother winner Benjamin Norris, who wondered whether it fit into the family friendly model of the show.
But Channel 7 said there was a simple explanation for the pictues of Hurst, a male model from Sydney.
“Back in May 2013 Hust took part in a photoshoot for magazine Beautifulmag,’’ Seven said on its website.
“That was seven years ago, meaning Hurst would have been aged 20 at the time of the shoot.”
George was revealed by Channel 7 on the same day as the Hurst scandal erupted.
“I’ll be the mother hen, the cook, the honest one that’s funny and pranks people in the house,’’ George said.
“I can hold my own, I can stand my ground. I’m about as a subtle as a brick to the face.
“People would never think I am a woodwork teacher. They always picture this butch bloke. I am hands down the coolest teacher in the school.
George has a popular blog, The Subtle Mummy, and is renowned for pranking her husband.
Other contestants revealed in the competition to win $250,000 include former AFL player Daniel Gorringe.
After six years off TV, Big Brother returns with a new set of rules under host Sonia Kruger.
For the first time the housemates will nominate and evict each other from the house.
There is no confirmed date for the premiere, but Channel 7 has indicated it is less than three weeks.
