Skye Wheatley’s Secret Feud with Big Brother Star EXPOSED

Skye Wheatley has revealed a secret feud with a fellow former Big Brother star.

The I’m A Celebrity winner, 30, rose to fame on the 2014 iteration of the reality TV juggernaut.

She was due to make a return to the show in 2022, but was dumped prior to filming after making a controversial sex confession online. 

Speaking about the incident with Callum Hole on their Skye & Callum Nova podcast,  she claimed that Big Brother star Tim Dormer was partly responsible for her unceremonious axing.

‘I got hit up to go back on [Big Brother] and then basically this big online scandal thing happened… it blew up.  I got heaps of hate,’ she said.

Skye Wheatley has revealed a secret feud with  fellow former Big Brother star Tim Dormer

‘You know, all my sponsors were dropping me like it was a f**ked time in my life.

‘I got an email the next day from the producers, and they were like, “Hey, sorry. We’ve decided not to put her in the mix.” I was f**king heartbroken, like, devastated.’  

However, Skye went on to claim that after she won the 2024 iteration of I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out Of Here!, she heard through the grapevine that Tim had a hand in Skye being booted from the show. 

‘After I’m A Celeb, Ben Morris [manager] interviewed me, and he said that apparently Tim Dormer, which was another Big Brother guy who was going in the house that year… apparently he said, “if you put Skye in the house, I’m not doing it”. So they obviously chose him,’ she claimed.

Skye added that while she had no proof, she was sure that Tim already harboured ill feelings towards her. 

‘I don’t know if there’s truth to that, but he hated me,’ she said.

‘I don’t know if he was jealous but I just knew he did not like me.’

Skye added that the reason for the apparent feud was Tim felt Skye had ‘stolen the limelight’ after he came out as gay on Instagram. 

Speaking on her Skye & Callum podcast, Skye claimed the 2013 Big Brother winner may’ve been behind her getting booted from a return to the series in 2022

‘Apparently Tim Dormer, which was another Big Brother guy who was going in the house that year… apparently he said, “if you put Skye in the house, I’m not doing it.” So they obviously chose him,’ she claimed

‘I even brought it up to him one time – I said, “What’s your problem with me? I’m sensing some animosity here,”‘ she said.

‘His reasoning was I tried to take the limelight on his coming out post because I commented and said, “Congratulations I’m so proud of you for coming out.” I was just trying to be nice.’

Despite Skye’s claims, she added that she harboured no ill will toward the 2013 Big brother winner. 

‘I still love him,’ she said. ‘He’s an entertaining guy. I don’t have any bad feelings toward him.’  

Speaking to Daily Mail Australia, Tim hit back at Skye’s claims, slamming the reality star as ‘fake’.

‘I’m tired of people using my name to try and associate some meaning to their own lives – especially when it comes to anyone in front or behind the camera of the delusional world of reality TV,’ Tim said.

‘That experience caused me a decade of trauma thinking anything of that world had meaning. 

‘She’s fake as f*** and that’s what it takes to survive that version of “reality”.

He continued: ‘I wish her well on her recovery journey back to reality, the world is tired of being force-fed the delusions coming from idols of yesterday. That world is clearly falling and people are waking up to what really matters. I hope she can find her authentic voice once day like I have.’

Skye previously claimed she was axed from Channel Seven’s reboot of Big Brother back in 2022 after making a controversial sex confession. 

The influencer said she was set to star in Big Brother two years ago, alongside fan favourites Reggie Bird, Tim Dormer, Tully Smyth and Layla Subritzky.

But she was booted from the season 14 show just weeks out from filming after posting an ‘insensitive’ joke on Instagram about her sex life with boyfriend Lachlan Waugh.

‘I was supposed to go on for that, but a couple of weeks before flying to Sydney to do it, I answered a question on my Instagram, “Who’s more dominant in the bedroom?”,’ she told news.com.au.

‘And I said, “Oh, it depends … If I’m in the mood, I’m not going to take no for an answer.” But he likes that. He likes when I’m like, “Babe, let’s have sex.”

‘But everyone was like, “You make him have non-consensual sex.”‘

Skye later received an email from producers telling her she’d been axed from the show.

She was due to make a return to the show in 2022, but was dumped prior to filming after making a controversial sex confession, about partner Lachlan Waugh, online

‘They said, “Hey, we’re not going to go ahead with putting you in.” They wouldn’t tell me the reason but, that had to be the reason,’ she added.

‘They didn’t want bad publicity or anything like that, which was really disappointing. It actually broke my heart.’

In 2021, Skye joked during a Q&A with fans that she demands sex from Lachlan even when he isn’t in the mood.

When asked who was more dominant in bed, Skye responded: ‘Hahahahaha me… but only when he’s mad and says he doesn’t want to have sex.’

‘Hahahahaha ain’t nobody telling me no… I won’t take no for an answer if I want sexy time,’ she added.

The reality star’s comments clearly upset some of her fans, as she returned to the platform less than 24 hours later to issue a grovelling apology.

The mother of two apologised for her ‘insensitive, triggering’ words and promised to think twice before making similar jokes in the future.
