Secret Story 2011 is a Dutch reality competition television show based on the original French series Secret Story and part of the franchise of the same name.

Like the original French version, although Secret Story is not a direct adaptation of the Big Brother franchise's format, which was also created in the Netherlands by producer John de Mol Jr. in 1997, the show has a similar concept while including his own game mechanics, and is also produced and owned by Endemol Shine Group/Banijay. The show started on 13 February 2011 on NET 5. The host for the Galas is Renate Verbaan and for the Daily Diary is Bart Boonstra. The house is the same one used in the Portuguese version, although it has been redecorated for this version.

There were 15 housemates. The show lasted three months like the French and Portuguese versions, concluded on 12 May 2011 for a total of 91 days.

On Day 7, it was revealed to the public that Alexander is a Knight.

Cynthia was evicted on Day 14 with 20% of the votes to save. After she was evicted, she confirmed her secret was that she had been homeless.

During the live show on Day 14, Gerard's secret was revealed to the public as he is a millionaire.

When Guido and Laura entered the house on Day 1, they were given their secret - they are in a fake relationship.

Joanna's secret was revealed on Day 1 - she is a sleepwalker.

Jurien was the first housemate to be evicted on Day 7, where he revealed his secret: He used steroids once.

Karim has been in a Bollywood movie.

Laura entered the house on Day 1 and was told her secret was to be in a fake relationship with Guido.

Maik entered the house on day 1 and was the third evicted on day 21. He didn't need to leave the house. Instead, he was held in the Secret Chamber for the weekend whereafter he was allowed to return to the house and continue the game. The only sidenote is he can only keep half the money if he is the winner of Secret Story. Maik's secret is: he underwent a breast reduction.
