Caitlyn and Thomas were seen heading into the compound alongside their costars, in photos obtained by Daily Mail Australia.

The famous pair walked into the house along a pathway illuminated by red lighting as cameras captured their big entrance.

Australia presenter Sonia Kruger – who is hosting this season – was there to greet the housemates.

Caitlyn kept things casual in a navy and white striped dress and a long grey cardigan, while Thomas looked sharp in a suit.

GOING DOWN UNDER

The E! star arrived in Australia last month and completed her mandatory quarantine in a hotel.

Channel Seven – the network on which Big Brother will be aired – has not commented on how Caitlyn got her visa, although her salary is thought to be at least $370,000.

The former Olympian athlete defended her trip to Australia amid her campaign to be Governor of California.

She tweeted: “My campaign team is in full operation as am I. I am in this race to win for California, because it is worth fighting for.”

GOVERNOR RACE

She announced she was running for Governor in April and faced backlash for former Trump aides for her campaign.

Thomas, meanwhile, was a last-minute addition to Big Brother, after being drafted in to replace outspoken controversial columnist Katie Hopkins.

Katie – who also appeared in Big Brother UK – was deported from Australia after reportedly bragging about breaking her hotel quarantine rules.

She is said to have posted a video online saying she would answer the door naked and maskless to people delivering meals 

Seven Network and Endemol Shine condemned her “reckless comments” and confirmed her axing.

Health minister Greg Hunt called her actions dangerous and irresponsible.

Despite never making it into the Big Brother house, it is thought that she may still walk away with her paycheck.

Other housemates seen arriving at the Big Brother house included Australian Survivor star Luke Toki and former Married At First Sight star Jessika Power.
