Australian media personality Chrissie Swan has opened up about a horrific experience she endured during her time as a contestant on Network 10's Big Brother, alleging a cameraman secretly took intimate photos of her while she was getting changed.
The NOVA star, 51, shared the story for the first time during Thursday's episode of Fitzy & Wippa with Kate Ritchie, after fellow former Big Brother housemate Ryan 'Fitzy' Fitzgerald brought up the crew's off-camera interactions.
"Swannie, remember when the cameramen in the Big Brother house used to make noises and you could hear them and you'd try to have conversations with them?" Fitzy asked.
"Yes, I actually remember when one of those men was sending photographs of my boobs to a friend who liked large ladies," Chrissie replied.
She went on to explain how she first learned about the incident while she was alone in the bathroom.
"I was getting changed in the bathroom, and I was getting my gear off by myself, and then I heard 'I know you like large ladies' or something, and I just froze, because he was obviously taking stills of my giant teets."
Chrissie said she "heard a low voice through the wall going, 'I know you like big women'," confirming her suspicions.
Her co-hosts were stunned, with Michael 'Wippa' Wipfli responding: "You're kidding me."
"No, I'm not," Swan responded vehemently, detailing how she reported the incident.
"I did mention it in my sort of casual, offhand way, I'm like, 'Just so you know, I just heard something that makes me feel a bit uncomfortable'… Anyway, it was sorted out, and that's great."
Fitzy recalled Chrissie being "quite emotional" at the time, to which she responded: "Well, yeah, because yuck."
The revelation came shortly after Chrissie posted a series of throwback photos from 2005 on Instagram, reminiscing about her time on the show.
"I WAS A BABY!" she captioned the snaps shared with her 296,000 followers.
"A cute little juicy baby with layers and foils. Happy to see the love of the giant hoop earrings started early."
She also shared more photos with her "bestie" Rebecca Thompson and fellow Big Brother cast members, reflecting on how far she's come since then.
The Masked Singer judge has undergone a remarkable transformation over the past few years, reportedly losing 90 kilograms.
She credits the shift to a new diet, daily walks, and sobriety.
Speaking to the Herald Sun ahead of her milestone 50th birthday in 2023, she said, "I have never been happier or more centred.
"It is actually great and I don't think you can feel that way until you have done the years. I wouldn't be 20 for quids."
