Losing years of precious memories in a house fire has given Mike Goldman<\/a> a fresh perspective on what really matters, making his return to Big Brother<\/a> all the more meaningful.<\/p>\n

\u201cI had a little fire a while ago,\u201d Mike, 53, tells TV WEEK<\/a>. \u201cWe lost a lot of things. Clothes, Big Brother memorabilia, all my old recordings from radio. But it\u2019s all just material things. You can replace stuff, but you can\u2019t replace people, and we\u2019re alive. We got out OK, with a bit of burnt hair.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mike is now back as the voice of the reality series after its relocation to Brisbane, close to his family home. The move makes it easier to bring his two-year-old son, Jagger, to the shows.<\/p>\n

With entertainment running in the family, it seems Jagger could be following in his dad\u2019s footsteps.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe apple doesn\u2019t fall far from the tree,\u201d Mike laughs. \u201cMy dad was a radio legend \u2013 and hosted the first colour TV show in Australian history, which was Countdown<\/a> before Molly Meldrum<\/a>. Mum was a weather girl on 10 and Miss Australian Beach Girl 1971.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy wife is an actor\/presenter so our two-year-old apparently entertains all the minders at daycare! He came to Big Brother last year and loved it.\u201d<\/p>\n

As for whether Mike will be back hosting the beloved Friday Night Live, he\u2019s keeping his cards close to his chest.<\/p>\n

\u201cWho knows what Big Brother\u2019s<\/a> got in store for us. I\u2019ve just been told to show up on a certain day. Maybe it\u2019s happening\u2026 Who knows?\u201d<\/p>\n

Big Brother airs Monday to Friday at 7.30pm and Sunday at 7pm on 10Play<\/a> and Channel 10.<\/p>\n
