A new household will also be joining the show this year, but Channel 10 has yet to reveal any details about them.
The network held auditions for additional cast members late last year.

Producers found themselves looking for new recruits after two popular families - Angie Kent and Yvie Jones, and Wayne Mott and Tom Walsh - left the show.
Sydney flatmates Angie and Yvie previously said they were quitting the program because the commute made it too difficult to film their segments.
However, it later emerged they had resigned in order to appear on I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here!, which is currently airing on Channel 10.

In October 2018, Tom announced that he and partner Wayne had decided to 'retire' from reality TV and enjoy a quieter life.
'I've had a lot of fun. And I think it's just time. Me and Wayne are ready to retire. We're ready to buy a farm and go bush,' he said.
Both couples had been part of the series since it launched in Australia in 2015.
