Outback mum Melissa is putting everything on the line to save her family farm.
Mel was born into a horse racing family, living across Western Australia and Victoria before settling in country South Australia. Mel and her partner Ryan are sheep farmers but after battling everything from drought to bushfires, they’re only just hanging on to the family farm.
Leaving her three young children at home for the first time, Mel’s entering Big Brother’s house with her eyes firmly on the prize. The money would go towards 2,000 UltraWhite ewe lambs to help drought proof the farm for years to come and change her family’s lives forever.
With her infectious smile, bubbly personality and “can do” attitude, there’s no chance of “Lady Ba Ba” Mel flying under the radar.
Mel is no sheep herself though. She intends on being a big player as opposed to following the flock and will happily make big moves and evict weak housemates who she feels don’t deserve to be there at the end.[1]
