Caitlyn Jenner has left Australia, hinting she’s eliminated early from Big Brother VIP

Photos have emerged of Caitlyn Jenner shortly after she was confirmed as part of the Big Brother VIP cast, providing a major spoiler for the show.

Caitlyn Jenner has been photographed touching down in LA just hours after the official line-up for Big Brother VIP dropped – suggesting her expensive stint in the house was short-lived.

The 71-year-old former Olympian was spotted wheeling her luggage through LAX airport after flying back from Australia where filming for Big Brother VIP kicked off just a couple of weeks ago.

It comes amid reports she penned a $500,000 deal for the appearance.

In further proof of the reality star’s flash-in-the-pan appearance, Jenner tweeted about her return to California, sharing the cast photo that Seven dropped yesterday with the caption: “Great time abroad for fun and glad to be back in #California on the campaign trail!”

Jenner is currently running to replace California Governor Gavin Newsom in the state’s upcoming recall election.

Her latest Twitter activity is curious move given most reality stars sign a contract with a ‘no spoilers’ clause.

Jenner’s arrival in Australia for the show wasn’t without controversy.

Just last month, she was slammed by Prime Minister Scott Morrison for flicking her cigarette off a balcony during hotel quarantine.

Mr Morrison spoke on the Kyle and Jackie O Show about the vaccine rollout when host Kyle Sandilands asked him for his thoughts on the photos of Jenner.

“Caitlin Jenner is here for Celebrity Big Brother and was seen flicking a cigarette off of a balcony onto the street,” Sandilands said. “The Covid cigarette.”

“Would she be fined for something like that?” asked co-host Jackie O’ Henderson.

“I’d have to leave that to the NSW Police and what their rules are,” Mr Morrison replied.

Henderson added: “She’s flicking a cigarette out on the street. What if that lands on someone?”

“Covid or no Covid, it’s not cool,” responded Mr Morrison. “I don’t think people should be flicking cigarettes off balconies anytime, anyway.”

Channel 7 has released the first promo for Big Brother VIP.

Prior to the incident, Jenner was at the centre of online backlash after obtaining a special visa that got her into the country while thousands of Australian citizens remain stranded overseas.

Mr Morrison, 53, didn’t seem to have all the answers when he was asked off-guard by Nova FM hosts Ben Harvey and Liam Stapleton about Jenner entering the country.

“With the whole nation in lockdown, ScoMo, how did Caitlin Jenner get in?” asked one of the hosts.

After a long silence, the Prime Minister answered, “Oh, that would’ve been done with the various states, I assume, and working through what is a pretty lengthy exemption process.

“That’s not something I could give you any specifics on,” he added.

Caitlyn’s salary on Seven’s Big Brother VIP is said to be at least $500,000.

Confirmed today, Jenner will appear alongside other international talent, with Meghan Markle’s half-brother, Thomas Markle Jr and Donald Trump’s former political aide Omarosa joining the house.

Homegrown identities in the cast include controversial MAFS bride turned influencer Jessika Power, Kyle Sandilands’ ex-girlfriend Imogen Anthony, Survivor star Luke Toki and retired NRL player Matt Cooper.

But there are a few names on the list that have some fans scratching their heads, with many taking to Twitter to express they’ve barely heard of most of the “celebrities”.

Big Brother VIP airs later this year.
