Big Brother’s Kieran Davidson accuses Chad Hurst and Sophie Budack of FAKING their romance and ‘playing up for audiences’ with their steamy kiss
They took their initial attraction to the next level by sharing a steamy kiss on Sunday night’s episode of Big Brother.
But Chad Hurst and Sophie Budack’s fledgling romance has raised suspicions among their fellow housemates – including 21-year-old YouTube star Kieran Davidson.
Kieran told TV Week that the pair may have been ‘playing up’ their romance for the cameras while in the Big Brother house.

Offering his thoughts, Kieran said: ‘The Sophie-Chad dynamic is interesting. It makes me think, “Is this legitimate or just being played bu the audiences and housemates?”‘
Kieran also explained that Chad and Sophie may have strategically figured out that there was ‘strength in numbers’.
‘If there are two of them and you vote one out, the other one’s going to come back and haunt you… I’m interested to see what Australia’s perception of it is,’ he said.
On Sunday night’s episode, model Chad, 27, signaled for grid girl Sophie, 25, to join him in his bed, before they shared a passionate kiss.

It’s unclear if Chad and Sophie thought their housemates were unaware, but it’s clear Big Brother sees all.
Attraction has bloomed between the pair ever since they entered the house at the same time as latecomers on episode two.
Earlier in Sunday’s episode, the lovebirds appeared to take interest in one another as they spent quality time together around the house.
Sophie told Big Brother in the diary room that she was attracted to Chad, but didn’t want to force anything too soon.

She was shocked when Big Brother asked: ‘What do you think of Chad?’
‘I can’t speak… but [the first time] I saw him I was like “hot damn”, and I was blown away with his astonishing looks’ she admitted.
Meanwhile, Chad described Sophie as a ‘beautiful girl’ and said that he loved her energy, before adding: ‘She makes he feel happy.’
Speaking to the Daily Telegraph on Friday about his developing romance, Chad had nothing but compliments to say about the Darwin-based brunette beauty.

‘She doesn’t showboat. Obviously she is very attractive, she reminds me a lot of Angelina Jolie with the same features, and I really like how athletic she is,’ he said.
Chad also added that they had instant chemistry in the house, because of their shared sense of humour.
‘We don’t take each other too seriously. We are not the loudest people in the room, which is why we got along so well.’
