I was actually coming to post the same thing. I can quietly reveal that this is very likely to be true, playing a recast Byron Stone (“Plain Jane”’s son).

Well, it's been all but confirmed that he was originally sent into the BB house by the producers based on his professional career. He has acted before, including opposite Natalie Bassingthwaighte in a film.
So it'll be interesting to see how he goes in the crazy, daily machine that is Neighbours. I'm just more disappointed that Joe Klocek was unavailable to continue in the role of Byron for the revival.

He's not the most exciting TV personality but his social game was pretty good. Part of why the end of that season was so frustrating was SJ's refusal to move against him even though blind freddy could tell you that he was winning if he made it to the final 3.

Ah right, now I remember. Media sets such a low bar for the use of the word 'star'. What's wrong with 'contestant'?

The Nomination Pillow has spoken!
The only thing I remember about that guy on BB was in his interview after getting evicted Gretel made it clear she really didn't like him. She brought up that on his application form for the show he bragged about having a large number of different girls in a single week and made it clear she thought the number, whatever it was, was disgusting and then she turned to the audience if anyone would want him and got a resounding 'no'.
Also, here's the full article:
A former high-flying businessman and ex-Big Brother star has sobbed in court while recounting the “destruction” of his life and a prior suicide attempt before he was refused bail for a “degrading” alleged sexual assault.
Heath Lionel Tournier appeared via video-link in Brisbane Magistrates Court on January 6 where he represented himself on eight charges including one each of sexual assault, common assault, low-level drink driving and driving while his licence was suspended.
Mr Tournier, an electrician, shot to fame in 2005 as an intruder on the set of reality television show Big Brother then went on to build successful construction firms in Western Australia and Victoria, a student accommodation business and a real estate company.
Police prosecutor Val Crossley told the court that the charges were before the court for the first time even though the sexual assault charge dated back to October 2022 because police had been unable to find Mr Tournier.
Mr Tournier was picked up by police on an arrest warrant at 3.30am on Saturday morning while seated in a black Mercedes-Benz with Victorian registration plates parked in the southeast Brisbane suburb of Cleveland, she said.
He told police he was phoning his partner in a bid to get money to buy fuel to drive to Newcastle.
Sgt Crossley told Acting Magistrate Rob Turra that Mr Tournier was accused of pushing his victim onto a bed, choking her then telling her he was “going to rape her”.
“He lay on top of her and pinned her down, pulling up her top, and began to roughly suck on her left breast,” Sgt Crossley said.
“She pleaded with him to stop. Then he flipped her over on her stomach and pulled down her pants,” she said.
“The victim managed to turn over on her back while the defendant pushed himself on top of her,” she said.
“The victim continued to plead with the defendant to stop, and tried to push him off,” she said.
Mr Tournier allegedly “spat in her face” before getting off her.
The victim reported the alleged sexual assault and common assault to police in Victoria, and they contacted Queensland police, Sgt Crossley said.
Police applied for an arrest warrant after they visited his Queensland home in December and were told that he had “fled to NSW”, Sgt Crossley said.
During the hearing, Mr Tournier broke down in tears while describing his emotional struggle with mental health and tragic setbacks in his life, claiming he is the victim of a fraud and said he had saved his daughter’s life in house fire in 2017.
In refusing bail, Mr Turra noted the sexual assault allegation was “particularly serious and degrading” and culminated in spitting in the victim’s face.
He said that Sgt Crossley had submitted that Mr Tournier seems to have “actively avoided his responsibilities” to engage with police “and actively fled” after being wanted.
Mr Tournier contests that he fled, and alleges he was working for several employers, including for law firm Fedorov Family Lawyers at Burleigh Heads.
He told the court he is not a flight risk.
Mr Turra concluded that throughout his submissions to the court Mr Tournier “demonstrated no accountability at all” for his actions.
“He indicated that police were ‘out to get’ him, he engaged in victim blaming and he suggests that he is no risk and in fact he is the one who has been ‘destroyed’ in his words,” Mr Turra said.
“This in itself demonstrates risk of continued offending,” he said.
Mr Tournier was remanded in custody to appear in Southport Magistrates Court on Wednesday January 10.

Well that narrows it down.
Just please be careful about what you post in this case - this isn't just ex-"participant" gossip but an active criminal case.
