1. "The game will be suspended." Everything we know about the Big Brother COVID-19 lockdown.

Last night, we were given our first look at the Big Brother house in lockdown.

In a promo for Sunday night's episode, contestants were told about the COVID-19 pandemic as a crew member was tested for the virus.

"A Big Brother crew member has been exposed to a person who has tested positive for COVID-19. The decision has been made to pause the game," host Sonia Kruger explained at the start of the video.

While sitting in the diary room, the housemates were told the competition would be immediately halted.

"Big Brother has been made aware that a crew member has come into contact with a confirmed coronavirus case. TheBig Brotherhouse will be placed in lockdown, and the game will be suspended."

Earlier this year, the show’s production company Endemol Shine Australia shared that the staff member's test results had come back negative, and they could resume production, in a statement to TV Tonight .

"The test result for ourBig Brothercrew member believed to be exposed to COVID-19 has come back negative. We will resume filmingBig Brothertomorrow and will continue to work within all Federal and State guidelines.”

Shane Vincent, who was recently evicted from the house, told Daily Mail about how he found out about COVID-19 in the house.

"We didn’t know anything about what was going on in the outside [world], we were sitting in the backyard one day and you know the skywriters, they were above us and writing like 'stop [the] F1'," He told the publication.

"And we were like, 'what the hell is going on?!'"

"And the next day, a skywriter came up and wrote, 'wash your hands' in the sky. And we were like, 'wash your hands? What is going on out there?' A couple of days later, we had a meeting, and they told us about COVID-19."

Big Brotherwill continue on Sunday at 7pm on Channel Seven.

Now, 13 years on fromGossip Girl'spremiere, both actors said it's been a while since they last sat down to watch the show.

"I haven’t seen it in so long. It would be very interesting to watch it now," Badgley said. "Have you seen it recently?"

"Buddy, you have to strap me to a gurney and pop my eyes open likeClockwork Orange. But no, it would be interesting to see the first couple maybe," Crawford replied.

Badgley, who now stars on Netflix’sYou,explained that he used to watch the show with his now wife Domino Kirke.

"It must’ve been six months after we met. She had never seen it, and that’s the last time I can remember seeing an episode."

"I remember even then, it has nothing to do with the show, but it was very hard to watch. These snapshots of yourself when you’re 20, 21, 22 years old. Who can enjoy that? Sometimes it’s just uncomfortable."

TheGossip Girlreboot is reportedly hitting our screens very soon.
