Aussie Shore’s resident chaos agent is returning for season three, and this time he’s going all in, full season, full Gold Coast, full Callum. Between ditching some serious baggage, launching a fitness routine, and starting a podcast with mate Sky Wheatley, you’d almost think he’s turned over a new leaf. Almost.

We caught up with Callum to talk growth, glow-ups, and why he’s promising exactly zero character development this season. Spoiler: he’s bringing the chaos, the energy, and the drama, and he wouldn’t have it any other way.

How did life change for you after the last season?

I feel like I’ve grown up a little bit. I actually feel like I’ve matured a little bit. I’ve removed a lot of baggage from my life, safe to say, there’s an ex in the rear-view mirror at the moment, which is good, and I’ve got more time now for friends and family, which is what I’m prioritising.

What did you learn about yourself from season one and two?

I learned that I should always stay true to myself, which I did last season, and I’ve had a lot of feedback from my friends and my family that watched a show and loved it because they knew I was just being true to myself.

How did your family and friends react to watching you?

They thought it was funny and like, I’m just being myself, but, you know, lighthearted humour, they love to see it and they love to see you having fun and bringing some success. They just support me no matter what, and they’re so excited for me to be doing it again this year.

What’s been the best thing that’s happened to you/for you since the last season?

I guess since removing some of that baggage from my life, I have had more free time to focus on other things, I’ve started my own fitness app, which is going really well, keeping me out of trouble, stopping me from partying as much! I’ve also started a podcast as well with a good friend of mine Sky Wheatley.

What made you want to come back for season two and now three?

I feel like coming back, for me, it wasn’t really much of a question whether or not to come back, I’ll always come back. But for me to do the full season, as this is going to be the first time for me to do the full thing, I feel like a big decider of that was that it’s on the Gold Coast.

It’s a bigger place, we’ve got more opportunity here to party in lots of different places, and I feel like it’s just going to be exciting. So I wanted to be part of the full thing this year.

What can we expect from you in season three?

Expect the same old Callum. Nothing’s going to change on that front. Same old Callum, doing what I do best. But I think I’m just going to be myself. I’m going to bring the chaos, bring the energy, bring the drama usually, and hopefully there’s a couple of women out there that I fancy and I get along with and have a bit of fun with this summer. If not, I’m just going to have fun regardless with all my friends!
