by Athina Mallis

The White Lotus Season 3 is taking us to a luxurious trip to Thailand, but like the seasons before, we know not everything will be sunshine and rainbows!

The new trailer for The White Lotus Season 3 has dropped and we cannot wait for this season to come out.

We are absolutely due to live another vacation vicariously through our screens, so let’s dive into everything we know so far about The White Lotus Season 3.

What is The White Lotus Season 3 release date?

We finally know when The White Lotus Season 3 is airing, and it’s pretty damn soon.

The third season of the enthralling season will be available to stream on Feburary 17, 2025 on BINGE.

Is there a White Lotus Season 3 trailer?

Yes there is a trailer. After months of teaser clips to keep us rabid fans at bay, we have a full one minute and 33 seconds of a teaser trailer for the upcoming third season!

Watch it below.

Who is in The White Lotus cast for Season 3?

We now have the confirmed cast for The White Lotus season 3, featuring Season 1’s Natasha Rothwell, the spa manager who was taken for a ride by Jennifer Coolidge‘s character, Tanya McQuoid.

The cast for season 3 includes, Leslie Bibb, Carrie Coon, Walton Goggins, Sarah Catherine Hook, Jason Isaacs, Lalisa Manobal, Michelle Monaghan, Sam Nivola, Lek Patravadi, Parker Posey, Natasha Rothwell, Patrick Schwarzenegger, Tayme Thapthimthong, and Aimee Lou Wood.

Additional cast includes Nicholas Duvernay, Arnas Fedaravičius, Christian Friedel, Scott Glenn, Dom Hetrakul, Julian Kostov, Charlotte Le Bon, Morgana O’Reilly, and Shalini Peiris.

Walton has gone ahead and done God’s work for White Lotus fans by sharing a bunch of behind-the-scenes photos of the Season 3 cast.

The carousels include photos of cast members Michelle, Carrie and Leslie.

Will Jennifer Coolidge be returning to The White Lotus cast for Season 3?

In Season 2, fan favourite and the only returning character Tanya, was seemingly killed off. Will we see her return from the dead, or perhaps, a long-lost twin sister will come in to take her place? Fingers crossed for a Coolidge resurrection, but HBO has been keeping mum if she’s returning.

Back in 2022, creator Mike White told Deadline:

“Jennifer is my friend and everybody loved her in the first season, and I was like, ‘I can’t go to Italy without Jennifer.’

“And maybe that’s still the case. Like, maybe you can’t go to Japan without Jennifer, either.”

This year, however, Coolidge seemed less optimistic when talking to Today.

“When they kill you, you have to accept it. Because it means they’re not calling for your costume sizes or anything. It’s over! I have to get another thing,” Coolidge said.

What is the location for The White Lotus Season 3?

After vacationing in Maui in Season 1 and Sicily in Season 2, HBO revealed in a statement that The White Lotus Season 3 will take us to the stunning setting of Thailand.

Filming locations include Bangkok, Koh Samui and Phuket.

What hotels will The White Lotus be filmed at?

As the first two seasons were shot at Four Seasons resorts in Hawaii and Italy, Season 3 will likely head to one of the luxury hotel giant’s four properties in Thailand.

While there are Four Season resorts in both Bangkok and Koh Samui, Bloomberg reported earlier this year that The White Lotus Season 3 would be filmed at the Koh Samui location.

AFAR has also reported that Phuket’s Anantara Mai Khao Phuket Villas will feature in Season 3 scenes.

What can we expect from The White Lotus Season 3?

In a press release, we got a vague synopsis for this season, “The social satire is set at an exclusive Thai resort and follows the exploits of various guests and employees over the span of a week.”

If the past two seasons of The White Lotus are anything to judge this season off, we know it will be a very dramatic week for the guests.

During an episode of the Unpacking explainer series, White said, “The first season kind of highlighted money, and then the second season is sex.

“I think the third season would be maybe a satirical and funny look at death and Eastern religion – and spirituality. It feels like it could be a rich tapestry to do another round at White Lotus.”

The show has absolutely cleaned up at awards shows in recent years. In total, the series has been nominated for more than 80 awards, winning 38, including two Golden Globes and 10 Emmy awards.

Where can I watch The White Lotus in Australia?

The White Lotus Season 1 and 2 are now streaming on BINGE.

The White Lotus Season 3 will be airing on BINGE from February 17, 2025.

Charlotte Crosby teases Aussie Shore chaos ahead of the show’s premiere

by CHATTR Team

The official Aussie Shore cast, trailer and release date have dropped to get us all very, very excited for this undeniably bonkers show.

Callum Hole was the first announced member of the new Aussie Shore cast (so consider us fans of the show already) and now 10 more names have been added to the mix.

Aussie Shore is basically Geordie Shore down under and it will have the one and only Charlotte Crosby at the helm.

Keep reading for everything we know about the Aussie Shore cast so far.

What has Charlotte Crosby said about Aussie Shore?

Charlotte has teased viewers about the wild shenanigans that will happen on Aussie Shore. The former Geordie Shore star called the show the “ultimate Australian party adventure” and gave viewers a sneak peek into what to expect from the series.

Who is in the Aussie Shore cast?

Charlotte gave Kyle and Jackie O a taste of what we can expect from the Aussie Shore cast earlier this year and it all sounds very spicy.

Confirming that none of the Aussie Shore cast knew each other before filming began, Charlotte said this new generation “are pushing boundaries” that we didn’t even know existed.

The Aussie shore cast include Callum (more on him below), Kyle, Lexie, Tom, Lily, Cooper, Catia, Con, Jaeda, Manaaki and Nardos.

We’ve also tracked down the Aussie Shore cast’s Instagram accounts, which you can check out here.

What’s Callum Hole from?

Callum will be adding Aussie Shore to his reality TV resume after appearing on Love Island Australia, Love Island Games and I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here!

Earlier this year rumours circled that Callum would be returning for Love Island 2024 off the back of his I’m A Celeb success, put perhaps Paramount beat Nine to the punch?

“A huge addition to an already incredible cast! AUSSIE SHORE IS GUNNA BLOW EVERYONES MINDS,” Charlotte wrote on the Callum announcement post.

What’s Charlotte Crosby’s role on Aussie Shore?

Charlotte’s 12-year run on Geordie Shore makes her perfect for the role of House Boss on Aussie Shore.

Earlier this year, Charlotte confirmed to Kyle and Jackie O that she was filming the upcoming show but that the cast were all around a decade younger than her.

“That’s why I’m the boss,” she explained.

The Voice singer who shocked the nation with her screamo Britney Spears cover

by CHATTR Team

Living rooms around the nation were surprised when The Voice Australia 2024 contestant Mol Turner whipped out powerful vocals that no one was prepared for.

On the August 26 episode of The Voice, 17-year-old Mol chose Britney Spears‘ iconic track Toxic — but with one very big death metal twist.

Sporting a shaggy blonde mullet, heavy eye makeup and chained jeans, Mol slowly built up to the chorus with an eerier and edgier take on the early noughties tune.

As she hit the chorus, well, The Voice coach LeAnn Rimes‘ reaction says it all:

the voice mol turner

The Voice coach Kate Miller-Heidke turned around for Mol, who is from the South Coast in New South Wales, meaning the teenager will now be on the Australian musician’s team.

What is Australia saying about Mol Turner’s audition?

With the show primarily showcasing mainstream genres and producing pop artists, Mol’s performance was surprising in a way that Australian audiences are loving.

While some viewers didn’t love the performance and are entitled to that opinion, the response is overwhelmingly positive.

“So good to finally see someone singing screamo,” someone commented on The Voice Instagram, noting that her “growl” was fire.

“An impressive death metal take on ‘Toxic’ that was so entertaining, she has quite an impressive vocal range — I think she will surprise us with what else she is capable of doing,” someone wrote to The Voice Australia Facebook.

Mol’s take on this song is definitely a welcome change. Even people who don’t neccesarily like death metal or screamo as a genre could still appreciate that she nailed it.

“Couldn’t think of anything more painful than listening to Death Metal but that was a fantastic performance and you can only appreciate the talent behind it,” one person wrote.

“Love it or hate it but that was amazing well done Mol !!!!. I loved every second!” wrote another.

“Not my cup of tea, but the girl has raw power. Glad she has the chance to perform on stage. All talents should be showcased,” an Instagram commenter added.

We can’t wait to see what Mol performs next!

The Voice Australia airs on Sundays at 7pm and Monday – Tuesday at 7:30pm on Channel 9 and 9Now.

An It Ends With Us sequel looks unlikely amid cast feud rumours

by Chantelle Schmidt

It Ends With Us just hit cinemas but there’s one sequel-shaped question on everyone’s lips: will we get a movie adaptation for It Starts With Us — Colleen Hoover‘s follow up novel to It Ends With Us?

Mentions of It Starts With Us have definitely been happening on the red carpets for the It Ends With Us movie but, as of right now, it hasn’t officially been green lit. In fact, it’s looking murkier than ever considering all the supposed beef between leads Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni.

So what is Colleen and the It Ends With Us crew saying about the sequel? Here’s what you missed while trying to dissect the rumoured It Ends With Us drama.

Does It Ends With Us have a sequel?

Colleen’s It Ends With Us book has a sequel called It Starts With Us.

While It Ends With Us follows the story of Lily Bloom trying to navigate a relationship that becomes abusive, It Starts With Us picks up where the last novel ended and focuses on Lily’s relationship with Atlas. (I’d go into further detail, but I don’t want to invite any spoiler backlash!)

The It Ends With Us book was released in 2016 and It Starts With Us came out in 2022.

It Starts With Us was released in 2022. Image: Simon & Schuster.

Justin, It Ends With Us director and lead actor, optioned the first novel back in 2019 — before It Starts With Us was even published.

Will there be an It Starts With Us movie?

A sequel is an obvious decision based on the huge box office success of It Ends With Us.

While in early August it appeared that no one had secured the rights for the It Starts With Us movie, The Hollywood Reporter is now reporting that Justin and Wayfarer Studios do have the rights for the sequel film.

If there was to be an It Ends With Us sequel off the back of the film’s success, it would be an obvious decision to keep the original cast including Blake as Lily, Justin as Ryle Kincaid, Brandon Sklenar as Atlas Corrigan and Jenny Slate as Alyssa Kincaid.

That being said, there have definitely been sequels that have deviated from the original casting (albeit usually awful).

But even if Justin was no longer in the role of Ryle or as the film director, a sequel involving Blake would mean the pair would still need to work together in some capacity. Because of this, there have been doubts over whether or not the film will go ahead.

What has Justin Baldoni said about an It Ends With Us Sequel?

Justin told Entertainment Tonight that he believes someone else should direct the sequel.

“I think that there are better people for that one,” he said. “I think Blake Lively’s ready to direct, that’s what I think.”

When asked whether or not he’d spoken to Colleen or Blake about a sequel, Justin admitted that he hadn’t.

“I haven’t. I have no idea what that story would be,” Baldoni told TV Insider at a press junket, noting that he’s trying to stay in the present.

“I’m just kind of doing my best to take this all in because it’s been five years to even get us here. So I can’t even fathom another story yet, but I’m so happy that fans love it and that she did it.”

What has Colleen Hover said about an It Starts With Us movie?

Author Colleen has definitely entertained the idea of a movie sequel.

“I think whoever decides to take charge of the next one would do it justice,” she told ET.

“I think they’re all in it for the right reasons, so I think that will be exciting. But it’s a lot of people to get the same schedules together again, so we’ll see.”

In regards to Blake coming on as director, the author said she’d “absolutely” be into that.

Considering It Ends With Us is all anyone’s talking about right now — and considering a lot of people want to see more of Atlas — we think a sequel could definitely be on the cards.

It Ends With Us is now in cinemas.

Is Raygun going to be on I’m A Celebrity…? Producers are apparently keen

by CHATTR Team

Rachel Gunn — AKA Raygun — is reportedly in the sights of I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! (IAC) producers following her viral breakdancing routine at the 2024 Paris Olympics.

According to New Idea magazine, the 36-year-old has been deemed “the ideal campmate” by unnamed producers of the hit TV show.

i'm a celebrity cast 2024
I’m A Celebrity just wrapped it’s 10th season in 2024. Image: Ten.

In the past, the show has had the likes of Bernard Tomic, Abbie Chatfield, Domenica Calarco, Brendan Fevola, Callum Hole and many more in the campsite.

Next year — 2025 — would be it’s 11th season following the win of Skye Wheatley.

Is Raygun going to be on I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here?

At the moment it’s all just reports, however, it makes a lot of sense.

“The public will want to hear her story in the jungle. Love her or loathe her, she has everyone talking,” the source told New Idea magazine.

Raygun made a video cameo at the 2024 Logies last week where she encouraged the industry to whip out some of her moves tom celebrate the night.

“It’s these viral moments and water-cooler conversations that IAC will want to capitalise on,” the source said.

Raygun has been the topic of the internet since she performed at the Paris 2024 Olympics, busting out the sprinkler and some kangaroo-esque moves that baffled the audience.

@sanantoniozoo

The roos at Kangaroo Krossing thought Raygun NAILED IT, and should have received a perfect score at the Olympics. 🦘🥇 #animals #kangaroos #cuteanimals #olympics #funnyanimals

♬ original sound – San Antonio Zoo

Raygun has been referenced on The Jimmy Fallon Show and at an Adele concert, truly proving that she got the world talking (and smiling).

While not everyone was supportive of Raygun making it to the Olympics — where she was awarded zero points — it’s pretty likely that people are keen to hear more about her story.

Perhaps we will in the jungle?

It Ends With Us’ Brandon Sklenar addresses online criticism of Blake Lively

by CHATTR Team

The It Ends With Us drama has been dominating our algorithms for the past fortnight, moving from a rumoured rift between Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni to an all-out public scrutiny of Blake’s promotional run. Now, costar Brandon Sklenar has addressed the criticism.

Taking to Instagram this week, Brandon released an online statement to discuss for “vilifying the women of this cast” is “counterproductive” to the film’s message.

Why are people criticising Blake Lively?

This month, Blake has been gradually dragged online for interviews, including one where she tells the audience to “wear their florals” for a film about domestic violence.

@evie.magazine

Just a fun little movie night! 💖🌸💘 #itendswithus #itendswithusmovie #itendswithusbook #blakelively #justinbaldoni

♬ Summer – Croquet Club

Old interviews have also been surfacing including one where she is rude to an interviewer and one where she makes a transphobic slur.

In one interview, the interviewer asks how those who personally resonate with It Ends With Us‘ themes can go about discussing it with Blake, to which she jokes about sharing her location or address alongside Brandon, who plays love interest Atlas Corrigan in It Ends With Us.

What did Brandon Sklenar’s statement say?

“I wanted to take a minute and address all this stuff swirling online,” 34-year-old Brandon wrote in an image uploaded to his Instagram account.

“The women of this cast stand for hope, perseverance, and for women choosing a better life for themselves,” he continued.

“Vilifying the women who put so much of their heart and soul into making this film because they believe so strongly in its message seems counterproductive and detracts from what this film is about.”

For weeks, rumours have been circling of creative differences between Blake, who plays lead actress Lily Bloom in It Ends With Us, and Justin, the director and also the lead actor playing the role of Ryle Kincaid.

When he was asked about an It Starts With Us movie — the It Ends With Us sequel — Justin suggested Blake as director.

“What may or may not have happened behind the scenes does not and hopefully should not detract from what our intentions were in making this film,” Brandon said.

“It’s been disheartening to see the amount of negativity being projected online.”

He called for people to stop spreading hate online and to remind themselves of the core message of the film.

“This movie is a harsh reality check for the men who need to get their shit together and take responsibility for themselves and their actions,” he wrote.

“Ultimately it’s meant to spread love and awareness. It is not meant to once again, make the women the ‘bad guy,’ let’s move beyond that together.”

The “powerful” Home and Away moment everyone’s talking about

by CHATTR Team

Home and Away fans are praising the soap for the “powerful” portrayal of grief by actor Ethan Browne (Tane) on the show’s August 19 episode.

In the emotional scene, Tane mourns the loss of Felicity (played by Jaqui Purvis) following her shock death while performing the Haka.

Perri, played by Cantona Stewart, watches on in concern and heartbreak as Tane grieves Felicity.

Home and Away fans have been quick to share their thoughts on the episode, praising the scene along with Ethan’s acting and the inclusion of Maori culture.

Home and Away hair and makeup designer Laura Vazquez wrote, “So powerful, so beautiful. Felt every emotion in this scene,” on an Instagram post sharing the scene.

“Absolutely love that the Maori culture and traditions has been brought into the show. Such a beautiful culture,” another comment read.

“Finishing with the Haka was a perfect ending to the episode. And done with such pure emotion,” said another.

“Couldn’t stop crying watching this,” a commenter added.

Felicity collapsed at Cash and Eden’s engagement party during the August 12 episode. Felicity and Tane split late last year after Tane discovered she had been taking birth control pills behind his back.

At the engagement party, Felicity and Tane danced, flirted and instilled hope in viewers at home who have been rooting for their relationship. She then got blurred vision and collapsed before being taken to hospital.

The doctor declared she had suffered a brain aneurysm and she was eventually taken off life support on the August 19 episode.

When Home and Away producer Lucy Addario said we’d need tissues for this unexpected death, she wasn’t messing about.

Home and Away airs Monday – Thursday at 7:30pm on Channel 7 and 7Plus.

Kate Miller-Heidke reveals which coach was “trigger happy” with The Voice buzzer

by CHATTR Team

The Voice 2024 is set to premiere this August with Guy Sebastian, Kate Miller-Heidke, Adam Lambert and LeAnn Rimes leading the charge as coaches for the new season.

Apparently there’s one celebrity coach that got a little overexcited this season though, with fellow The Voice judge Kate labelling them as “trigger happy” with that big red button.

Adam Lambert was “trigger happy” on The Voice 2024

“Adam was super trigger happy,” Kate revealed in an exclusive interview with Chattr, explaining that he chewed up most of his singer positions within the first half of the blind auditions.

“He turned around for for so many people very early on in the filming and then he found himself with one spot left for, like the second half of the blinds,” Kate explained.

“He got a bit overexcited.”

On The Voice, four judges have traditionally gotten to choose 12 singers each. If they turn around for a contestant who chooses to be on their team in return, it means that one of their 12 positions have been filled.

What type of artists did Kate Miller-Heidke press the buzzer for?

Kate explained to Chattr that she turned around for moments that really struck her.

“You’re just listening to hear that one magic moment,” Kate explained to Chattr. “It’s such a cliche, but that magic moment in a song that gives you goosebumps or surprises you in some way.”

the voice 2024 kate miller-heidke

“Sometimes it’s really it can be hard to tell because a lot of people are struggling with nerves. It’s a deeply nerve-wracking experience to get up on that stage and you’re just waiting to hear that that kernel of something amazing.”

Kate met Adam and LeAnn for the first time on The Voice 2024

Kate revealed to Chattr that it was her first time meeting both LeAnn and Adam, the latter of which became one of her “favourite” people.

“They were both so lovely,” Kate explained of meeting Adam and LeAnn for the first time on The Voice.

“Leanne shot to superstardom when she was only 12 years old,” Kate recalled.

“She’s lived her entire life as a very famous person, but she’s still an artist to her core. She still takes the art and craft of singing really seriously and she’s so good at what she does.”

“And Adam, he’s lightning in a bottle. He’s just brilliant. He and I were sitting next to each other for the whole season, so we got to hang out and chat a lot.

“He is just one of my favourite people. He’s so funny and irreverent and kooky. He’s brilliant.”

Why did this just become the friendship we never knew we needed? Cute as hell.

The Voice airs on 7 and 7Plus from Monday, August 19.

FBoy Island recap: If ‘The Hot One’ isn’t an FBoy I want a refund

by Chantelle Schmidt

FBoy Island 2024 has landed and no one’s happier than me to see a big burning dick on the sand to kick off the Season 2 recaps.

fboy island season 2 episode 1 recap
burn motherfucker

This season we have three new leading ladies tasked with figuring out if the men vying for their love are FBoys or Nice Guys.

Choose wrong and they’ll be rorted out of the prize money.

fboy island season 2
this is fine

First we have Nicole, a model who is asking the bare minimum from a man: to be heard and not just seen.

see me hear me love me!

Krystal (who you remember from The Bachelors) is on the hunt for a “mid” — AKA a six of out 10 — because they’re fabulous at licking pussy.

where is the lie

Ally, our final leading lady, has dated “devil dick” — AKA Vernon Lyon from FBoy Island Season 1. She doesn’t even need to say his name.

I was younger then

Our host and saviour Abbie Chatfield is ready to introduce the ladies to the men of FBoy Island, but first they must finish the last leg of the 14-km City2Surf.

fboy island nicole
see you in 25 hours

First the boys are introduced to Nicole and it is immediately obvious that they have smelt model (and perfect underboob) because they cannot control their dick energy of varying sizes.

fboy island season 2
arooga

Next up is Krystal. She has placed second in City2Surf at two hours and 12 minutes, only to see a familiar face from the Gold Coast.

fboy island
omg is that the rando from Sin City

However, the guy she may or may not have rooted at Toolies isn’t the one she’s got her eyes set on. While she’s adamant about a mid who bothers to find the clit, she has instead chosen “the hot one”.

fboy island season 2
It is I, ‘The Hot One’

No, she literally called him that, in order to clarify that she’s not talking about this guy.

I lick pussy better than The Hot One tho

Ally places third for City2Surf, finishing at two hours and 19 minutes. She also has her eyes on The Hot One.

this should end well

The ladies and the men then head back to their respective villas where it becomes apparent that Frank has been declared as an FBoy by literally everyone.

Why? He was handsy with Krystal and… as for the guys? I think they just reckon he’s a toss.

Meanwhile, The Hot One has decided he likes Nicole the best.

fboy island season 2
The Hot Ones must stick together

Back at the women’s HQ, Abbie is getting to know the ladies better.

Ally confirms dirty dog Vernon dropped the L-word on her before going on a bender and blocking her.

that second bag will do it

Ally’s revenge? Implying to all of Australia he has a small dick.

that checks out

Krystal opens up about being the child of an FBoy. Her father cheated on her mum while she was pregnant with Krystal and now she feels like she has a responsibility to stop the chain.

We love Krystal and this is a powerful story. FBoys think their behaviour is funny but it actually can be really fucking traumatic. OK?

“My Fboy radar? Unmatched,” Krystal says.

fboy island season 2
not counting Felix Van Hofe

The bonfire

Once Jerome (the one who wears Crocs) shares that likes “licking ass” and “eating ass” (just like Flume), the FBoy Island crew head to a bonfire.

fboy island season 2
Cue Love Island montage

Krystal confirms she may have “sucked” off that guy from the Gold Coast but does not confirm if it was on Cavill Ave. Her memory is really failing her for someone who writes FBoy reminders in her notebook.

So far we know that the guy who wore a leather jacket on an island called her the wrong name and the guy who was on The Amazing Race isn’t sure if he wants to give up the single life.

We also know that everyone’s obsessed with Nicole, even though we all know she is going to choose The Hot One.

as per my last email, I would like to be heard

Sadly The Hot One is also The Dense One because he tells a woman wearing a full face of makeup that she’s a “natural beauty”.

fboy island season 2
lol this is makeup

Nicole reminds him of the makeup she is wearing, while looking at him with the same eyes lined with eyeliner and shaded with glitter.

“Doesn’t look like it,” he responds. Does this man think we came out of the womb looking like Mila Kunis in her Black Swan era?

you’re telling me those diamantes under your eyes aren’t permanent?

Someone open their TikTok and show this man a GRWM.

Thankfully another man named Nick takes over and he knows the word “intrinsic” so please, do not be fooled by his earlier peck pumping.

I brought my thesaurus

Krystal, who was once on The Bachelors, has taken a liking to Paddy, who was once on The Bachelorette.

“Paddy, he isn’t the hottest,” Krystal says and my heart breaks from him watching this back right now.

fboy island season 2
which means you’ll be fab at going down

Krystal can sense an anaconda in those pants so she gives him a pash with so much tongue it requires a KFC wet clean up towel.

slurp

“I love how you played with my tongue,” he tells her and I may just vomit on my television screen.

da fuq u just say

In other areas of the party, a man with tatoos decides to dry-root Nicole’s foot and Frank is trying to convince Krystal he’s a nice guy because his ex slept with his mate behind his back.

That doesn’t make you a nice guy, it just means you have fucked friends.

fboy island season 2
nice try

It’s time to choose who the ladies will be taking on their first dates.

Nicole chooses Jack (the man who can both use big words and pop his pecks), Krystal chooses Frank (to try and determine his FBoy status once and for all) and Ally goes for The Hot One (The Christian Who Has Sex Before Marriage AKA The Man Who Thinks Women Were Born With Eyeliner).

fboy island season 2
you lack common sense but as long as you fuck before nuptials we’re good

The first dates

Ally is wet. She’s dickmatised by The Hot One’s past four-year relationship and ability to talk nicely about his ex.

a man who doesn’t talk shit about his ex? Rare find!!!

Then he slips his tongue in like the good Christian boy he is.

forgive me father for I have sinned

Meanwhile, Krystal is embracing her inner Cavill Ave by sharing a vodka cruiser with Frank after making him run around a sunflower garden naked.

we love preemptive revenge

Nicole and Jack jetski, talk about how much they like each other and then slip their tongues in both on dry land and in the sea.

we are so intrinsic rn bby

We finish off our dates portion of the episode by Ally finding out that The Hot One liked Nicole first and would like to still get to know her considering he’s known Ally a full three minutes.

But she was born with eye glitter!

Ally cries.

The elimination

The girls have taken to their directors chairs for their first FBoy Island elimination.

A bunch of people we hardly know are up for elimination, plus Frank, that foot fucker, The Hot One (!!!) and that Jake dude who you recognise from The Amazing Race. Sadly The Amazing Race dude already left (probably to go on another reality TV show).

enjoy Love Is Blind

Only the foot fucker and Jin leave. Jin is the one who told Nicole she was stunning. Sorry, that didn’t narrow it down, did it?

This is Jin

Jin and his slutty ankles are an Fboy but the dry foot fucker is a Nice Guy!

I’ll never dry root a foot again

One down, many to go. I’ll be writing FBoy Island Season 2 recaps the entire season so I’ll see you here next Monday but until then, you can follow me on Instagram.

Everything you need to know about FBoy Island Season 2

by CHATTR Team

FBoy Island Australia is coming back for Season Two and finally we’ve got the deets we’ve been waiting for — a trailer, release date and even our leading ladies.

Keep reading for everything we know so far about FBOY Island Season Two, including a familiar face as part of the leading ladies, one hell of a packed trailer, where the show’s filmed and more.

Here’s everything we know about FBoy Island Australia 2024.

Is there an FBoy Island Season Two trailer?

Sure is! And let me tell you, FBoy Island Season Two looks like it will D-E-L-I-V-E-R. Do I spy Abbie Chatfield telling someone off? Do I spy a Bachie contestant (more on that below)? Keen!!!

The official trailer follows a few teases we’ve copped this month, including one where Abbie asks why Limbro is open.

(For the uninitiated, Limbro is where naughty FBOYs are sent to repent after they’re eliminated.)

Could Abbie asking “Who left it open?” mean that some of the FBoysfrom Season One are returning in Season Two? Could Vernon Lyon be back for another round?

You can watch it below.

Who is in the FBoy Island Season Two cast?

The FBoys and Nice Guys for Season Two have just been announced and they include some reality TV alumni! See the FBoy Island men, including one block from Bachelor In Paradise and one from Amazing Race Australia.

will be made up of just yet. There’s a decent taste of what we’re in for thanks to the trailer above, though. I don’t think they’re going to disappoint.

Who are FBoy Island Australia’s leading ladies?

Australia, meet Krystal Thomas, Ally Woodfall and Nicole Mitrov.

From left to right: Ally Woodfall, Krystal Thomas, Nicole Mitrov. Image: BINGE.

Krystal has experience navigating FBoys — you might remember her as a The Bachelors contestant where she dated Felix Van Hofe.

Nicole is a model and Ally is Vernon‘s ex.

Who will host FBOY Island Season Two?

Abbie will return as host of FBoy Island Australia after nailing the job for Season One.

fboy island season two abbie chatfield
Literally the best host choice for this show. Image: BINGE.

Not only has she been on a reality dating show before as runner-up for Matt Agnew‘s The Bachelor season, but she also knows when to call out people for being shitty.

In Abbie we trust.

What can we expect from FBOY Island Season Two?

Host Abbie explained that while fans can expect drama again this season, the sophomore season will be different from the first.

fboy island season two cast
FBOY Island Season Two’s leading ladies with host Abbie. Image: BINGE.

“This season is as drama-filled but in really different ways,” Chatfield told Daily Telegraph earlier this year.

“The stories along the way are way more complex and I think the three leading women did such an amazing job at supporting each other, really doing detective work and being steadfast.

“They had some hard conversations with each other along the way as well, which I think is what real friendship is all about.”

FBOY Island Season Two release date

The official FBOY Island Season Two release date is August 5, 2024. Pencil it in! It will air every Monday for nine weeks.

Which FBOY Island Season One couples are still together?

In Season One, Molly O’Halloran, Ziara Rae and Sophie Blackley attempted to navigate their way through the FBOYs and find true love.

FBOY Island leads and their final picks. Image: BINGE.

Molly and Ziara both snagged “nice guys” in Nick Brown and Izaya Leota respectively. And they’re still with their chosen picks!

Meanwhile, Sophie chose Joshy Allen, even though he was revealed to be an FBoy. They split up shortly after.

How to watch FBoy Island Australia

FBOY Island Australia streams exclusively on streaming service BINGE from August 5. You can watch everyone episode of Season One now.

Where is FBoy Island Australia filmed?

Sadly (or gladly?) there is no actual FBoy Island on Google Maps. FBoy Island Australia is filmed in a place called Casaurina which is 150km south to south east of Brisbane.

It’s a good day for The Boys fans because the show’s getting a spinoff

by Chantelle Schmidt

Amazon Prime Video’s The Boys is getting a prequel spinoff called Vought Rising which is great news for fans who were bummed about Season 5 ending.

The Boys spinoff was announced during a panel presentation at San Diego Comic-Con. Supernatural‘s Jensen Ackles (Soldier Boy) and Aya Cash (Stormfront) will feature in the new prequel series.

Here’s everything we know so far about the upcoming The Boys spinoff, Vought Rising.

What is The Boys spinoff Vought Rising about?

Vought Rising is “a twisted murder mystery about the origins of Vought in the 1950s”, according to the official The Boys Instagram page.

“Vought Rising may or may not feature the very first Herogasm, founded in 1952,” the post added about The Boys spinoff.

For the uninitiated, Herogasm is a yearly festival where superheroes engage in a bunch of sexual activity. A selling point for the new spinoff if I ever did hear one!

Vought Rising will also follow “the early exploits of Soldier Boy, and the diabolical manoeuvres of a ‘Supe’ known to fans as Stormfront, who was then going by the name Clara Vought”, according to executive producers Eric Kripke and Paul Grellong‘s statement (shared by news.com.au).

“We cannot wait to blow your minds and trouble your souls with this salacious, grisly saga drenched in blood and Compound V.”

This will be the third The Boys spinoff.

The Boys Season 5 will be the last

During the San Diego Comic-Con panel, it was also revealed that Jensen will play a major role in The Boys Season 5 and that a relationship between Soldier Boy and Homelander will be further explored.

The Boys Season 4 premiered in June 2024 and it was recently confirmed that Season 5 would be its last.

Just before the highly anticipated premiere of Season 4 in June, Eric Kripke (the mastermind behind the show), announced that Season 5 would be the final season.

“SEE YOU FOR OUR FINAL SEASON, MOTHERF***ERS!” the tweet read.

“From the very beginning, I wanted to wrap it out around season five,” Kripke told The Hollywood Reporter.

“And then I would say plans really solidified that we were going to actually do it years ago.

“It might have been because I was trained as a TV writer and there were five acts,” he added.

“It gives you enough time to get to know the characters… It’s about the characters and then you kick off into a climax.”

End of an era! At least now we have The Boys spinoff to look forward to, huh?

The Boys is available to stream on Amazon Prime Video.

Harry Garside shares an important realisation following his Olympics elimination

by CHATTR Team

Harry Garside has shared a heartfelt message on social media after missing out on the gold medal he was gunning for at the Paris 2024 Olympic Games.

Overnight Australian time, Harry was eliminated in the first round of the men’s 63.5kg class. He won a bronze medal at the Tokyo 2020 Olympic games and had been hoping to score a gold in Paris.

In a post-match interview that personally broke my heart watching at home, Harry apologised to his home country and revealed that times ahead will be tough for him.

Harry Garside’s disappointment over his Paris 2024 Olympics outcome

“It is crazy… two decades dedicated to one dream and it is over just like that,” Harry told Nine.

“Australia is such a sporting nation and I’m so sorry. Honestly, I feel like a failure right now … I don’t even know what to say,” he added.

“Deep down inside I fear for what the next couple of months look like for myself. I’m sure there’ll be some dark times. I’ve just got to prepare for that now.”

Harry’s heartfelt realisation

Harry has taken to social media following his Olympics outcome to share how he’s feeling after some time to process and we’re glad to see him looking a bit more optimistic.

Sharing that he’s been “beating himself up for a couple of hours” over the events before coming to a “realisation”.

“I had this realisation that I wanted a two-decade journey to try and get that gold medal. And yes, I didn’t get that gold medal but I became my own friend in that journey,” Harry reflected.

Harry continued to explain that his self-worth was low at the beginning of the journey and now he feels like he has the relationship with himself to manage his inner-critic.

“Over the last three years, I really worked hard and trying to build my self-worth and trying to grow and evolve and be kind to myself more often. In that, I don’t get success, but I’d rather be my friend and have no success.”

Harry then got emotional as he went on to share his hopes of becoming a dad one day.

“Being a dad and not passing on negative things to my kids is really important to me. So I’m really happy that the two-decade journey wasn’t for nothing,” Harry finished.

Absolutely sensational human that the whole of Australia is cheering on right now, gold medal or not.

You can watch the Paris 2024 Olympics on 9 and 9Now. Harry Garside also appeared on I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! in 2023 which you can watch on 10Play.

Neighbours costars honour Janet Andrewartha following the news of her death

by CHATTR Team

Australian actor Janet Andrewartha — known fondly as Lyn Scully on soap Neighbours — has died. She was 72.

Neighbours announced the passing of Janet on their social media channels, sharing that the cast and crew of the television show are “deeply saddened”.

According to Herald Sun, Janet died peacefully on Friday with her daughters, Sarah and Eloise, by her side.

Janet also played Reb Keane in Prisoner: Cell Block H, and more recently appeared in Safe Home on SBS and the Logie-nominated Paramount+ drama Fake starring Asher Keddie.

Neighbours costars share tributes for Janet Andrewartha

In the social media post announcing Janet’s passing, Neighbours cast member Jackie Woodburne (who plays Susan Kennedy) remembered Janet as “an extraordinary woman” who she will miss.

“Janet was one of the finest actors of her generation, but more than that, she was an extraordinary woman,” Jackie said in the Neighbours post.

“Passionate, political, curious, delightfully eccentric, generous and fun. To me she was a steadfast friend for over 45 years. I will miss her every day.”

Stefan Dennis (who plays Paul Robinson) commented on the post to echo Jackie’s words.

“So very upset to lose the lovely Janet,” Stefan wrote. “As Jackie said, she truly was an exceptional actress who was a pleasure work with and to be around. We will all miss you dear girl.”

Lucinda Cowden (who plays Melanie Pearson), remembered Janet’s impact in her role as Reb Keane in Prisoner: Cell Block H.

“I remember when I first saw her on Prisoner … she lit up the screen, and continued to grace us with her exceptional talent in so many interesting and unique characters,” Lucinda wrote. “Vale Janet.”

Holly Vallance (who played Felicity Scully, the daughter of Lyn) shared her heartbreak on X (formerly known as Twitter).

“She was a superb human being who taught me so much from the age of 15. I’ll treasure her last trip to the UK forever,” Holly wrote.

The pair caught up late last year.

“Precious memories I’m so grateful for. A beautiful, talented, hilarious & kind woman.

“I’m so glad it was you who played my Mum. You were the real deal. Made us feel safe. And looked after us when we were all so young in the industry. It was an honour to work beside you and call you a friend.”

Carla Bonner (who played Steph Scully, Lyn’s daughter) shared an image of a candle overnight to her Instagram Stories saying, “I will miss you forever.”

The first MAFS 2025 groom has leaked & shock horror, he’s been on reality TV before

by CHATTR Team

Paul Antoine is the very first MAFS 2025 groom to be announced and we’re unsurprised that he’s a recognisable face.

While ex-The Bachelor contestant Siera Swepstone was just announced as a MAFS 2025 bride, she won’t be the only one who’s dipped her toes in a dating reality show before.

mafs paul antoine
Paul Antoine. Image: Ten.

Yep, Daily Mail Australia revealed that Paul — someone who was on reality TV just two years ago — would be one of MAFS 2025 grooms after he was spotted on the set of the show last week.

What reality show has Paul Antoine been on before?

Paul starred on The Real Love Boat Australia in 2022. The short-lived show was basically Love Island on a boat and it was truly as bad as it sounds.

Paul was one of 21 singles who tried to find love with the help of host Darren McMullen, cruise director Hannah Ferrier, head of entertainment Daniel Doody and captain Paolo Arrigo.

Obviously, his quest for love was about as successful as the show itself. Sorry. But we do have some footage of Paul in action on the boat to prepare us for MAFS 2025.

Paul is a fitness coach living in Perth, however, he is originally from France.

When he was on The Real Love Boat Australia, he was ready to find someone down-to-earth and was a fan of long chats — so we can only assume that’s what he’ll be looking for this time around too.

Paul is the third MAFS 2025 cast member to have leaked, following Siera and Rhi Disljenkovic, a fitness blogger from Melbourne.

So with three MAFS 2025 cast members leaked already, we have two ex-reality TV stars and one fitness blogger? I don’t know about you, but it’s all smelling a bit influencer-y already to us.

Stream MAFS Australia on 9Now.

Ada Nicodemou confirms her “lovely” relationship with costar James Stewart

by CHATTR Team

Ada Nicodemou has officially confirmed that she is dating her Home and Away costar James Stewart and we couldn’t be happier for the pair.

“Jimmy and I are together, yes,” Ada said in an interview with Stellar magazine that was published over the weekend.

“At 47, you know what you want and what you don’t. It’s only early days,” Ada continued.

“It’s very recent and very unexpected. I’m super happy. It’s really lovely.”

This is huge news for Home and Away fans as the rumours of the pair’s romance first started swirling in May after photos of Ada and James kissing emerged.

It was following the April announcement of Ada’s split from Adam Rigby. Ada and Adam were together for eight years.

James, 48, finalised his divorce from former Home And Away star Sarah Roberts in March. The pair were together for five years.

Were Ada and James together while shooting their wedding scene?

Ada and James play husband and wife on Home and Away as their characters Leah Patterson and Justin Morgan. In fact, the pair filmed wedding scenes for the soap last year and the episode itself aired in April.

Prior to Ada’s confirmation of their relationship, The Sunday Telegraph reported that she was spotted kissing James at a Seven Network Christmas party last year.

That being said, Ada shut down any rumours that she was involved with James during shooting.

“There weren’t genuine feelings then,” Ada explained.

The couple’s characters got married earlier this year. Image: Seven.

“It was shot last year. But I think whenever you’re watching any TV couple, you’re always wondering if they really do have feelings.

“We’ve always respected each other. We’ve known each other since [1998 soap opera] Breakers. Jimmy is an amazing actor,” she added.

“I’ve loved working with him for five years and I think our scenes are great. I always like going to work — we push ourselves, and push each other, in a really good way.”

As someone who’s watched Ada’s character, Leah, lose Vinnie (Ryan Kwanten) all those years ago, I’m happy for her. And for Ada too!

It looks like an ex-Bachelor contestant will be on MAFS 2025

by CHATTR Team

The newest Married At First Sight (MAFS) 2025 leak is here with reports of The Bachelor‘s Sierah Swepstone joining the cast.

If that name doesn’t ring a bell for you, then maybe you’ll remember her as the self-professed “tall, horny bogan” from Jimmy Nicholson‘s season.

Daily Mail Australia reported the Sierah will be headed to Skye Suites as part of the MAFS 2025 cast after she was spotted both on set of the show and filming her backstory in Melbourne, Victoria.

An icon. Image: Ten.

Sierah Swepstone is the first ex-Bachelor contestant on MAFS

While there always seems to be reality TV crossovers — like MAFS 2024’s Ben Walters apparently being approached for The Bachelors, and Janelle Han choosing MAFS 2023 instead of receiving roses — this will actually be the first time an ex-contestant has appeared on the MAFS social experiment.

And if it was going to be anyone, we’re low-key excited it’s Sierah. Her exit from Jimmy’s 2021 season of The Bachelor was iconic.

Remember when she told all of Australia that she “definitely had chlamydia”? I’m all for a woman of honesty who doesn’t give two shits about the judgement.

Apparently Sierah was poached by MAFS producers

Daily Mail Australia also reported that Sierah was poached by MAFS producers. An insider told the publication, “She is a nutter but amazing for television because she just doesn’t care.”

Honestly it was a shame that she was on Jimmy’s season (because it had one of the worst ratings in television history), however, it’s good she’ll be making her return on a show people actually care to watch.

I’m getting Lauren Dunn 2.0 vibes.

Sierah will reportedly be joining Rhi Disljenkovic — a Melbourne fitness blogger who was leaked last week — on the MAFS 2025 experiment.

I can smell their new followers from here.

MAFS’ Eden says Jayden lying about *that* confession still “baffles” her to this day

by CHATTR Team

Remember when Jayden Eynaud told Eden Harper during Married At First Sight’s confessions week that he slept with his ex’s best friend while she watched? It was truly shocking television in every sense of the word.

The shock quickly turned to confusion when a woman claiming to be Jayden’s ex-girlfriend told PEDESTRIAN.TV that his confession was a lie, though. Why — WHY — would you lie about something like… that?

It’s something that still baffles Jayden’s TV bride Eden, who admitted to Chattr that she found out it was a lie “during MAFS airing” like everyone else.

That’s a lot of months to be kept in the dark. Keep reading to see what Eden had to say about Jayden’s confession lie.

How did Eden feel when Jayden told her that confession?

Even though it seemed like Jayden’s confession was quickly forgotten about by viewers, Eden revealed that the whole thing really changed things for the relationship.

“When I first experienced the confession letter in real life, I had only known Jayden a few weeks,” Eden told Chattr.

“It was hard at the time as I really liked him. Prior to finding out I trusted him 100 per cent and but that trust was completely shattered,” she continued.

“It made me question and overthink everything he ever said from that day on.

“So as much as I did make the choice to forgive him, the trust was subconsciously broken and I wouldn’t have been the best version of myself in the relationship from then on.”

How did Eden feel watching Australia’s reaction to Jayden’s confession?

Eden says that having to watch the confession on television was difficult, especially because of how much their relationship had grown outside the experiment in that time.

“Reliving the story all over again when it aired was really hard for me as by that point I’d been with the guy for seven-to-eight months and was completely in love.

“It was tough seeing everyone’s opinions and they way people spoke about him online.”

Eden was upset when she found out Jayden’s MAFS confession. Image: Nine.

How did Eden find out Jayden’s confession was a lie?

While Australia found out about the lie within 24 hours of the episode airing, Eden thought it was true for months — up until Jayden himself admitted it was false.

“The day after it aired, his ex-girlfriend had come out and claimed the story was false,” Eden recalled.

“After that, he did admit to me that it didn’t happen.

“It made me really angry to be honest — angry at him for putting me through that and putting his ex through that and for sharing it on national television.

“It honestly made me so angry that if I wanted to be with him, I really had to choose to forgive him for it and never bring it up again, which is the choice I made.”

Eden and Jayden announced their breakup in April 2024. Image: Nine.

She’s a stronger woman than me! Jayden and Eden announced their break up just after MAFS 2024 stopped airing.

As for why Jayden would make up a story that doesn’t necessarily make him look great of national (and later international) television, Eden hinted she’d probably never know.

“It baffles me to this day why anyone would make that up,” she explained to Chattr.

“I couldn’t get a straight answer from him as to why, just lots of different reasons and blaming other people which didn’t make any sense.”

Jayden was accused of lying during home visits week as well.

It’s situations like this that make me want to study the human mind.

House of the Dragon fans are wigging out over this incest scene

by CHATTR Team

House of the Dragon has once again shocked its viewers with confronting footage and this time it’s kept it in the family with an incest scene. Yes, you read that right.

Although it’s a storyline we’ve seen before in the Game of Thrones universe and George R.R Martin‘s work in general, viewers of the hit show have some thoughts about the latest House of the Dragon incest scene where a character imagined having sex with his mother.

While it’s almost expected from the same show that shocked viewers with a confronting blowjob scene earlier this month, I can understand the confused reaction from the general public when it comes to the House of the Dragon incest scene in question.

Whether you’re a regular viewer of House of the Dragon or not, one thing’s for sure: this scene is so uncomfortable to watch (which you can do below at your own risk):

What happens in the incest scene with Daemon’s mother?

The footage shows Daemon Targaryen (Matt Smith) having a very sensual dream about his mother, Alyssa Targaryen (Emeline Lambert).

“Daemon, you were always the strong one. The finest swordsman. The fearless dragon rider,” Alyssa tells her son as he… goes down on her.

house of the dragon incest scene daemon mother
Keep your head where I can see it! Image: House of the Dragon.

At one point, she says, “If only you’d been born first, my favourite son.”

This was the first appearance viewers have seen of Daemon’s mother as she passed away during childbirth complications.

For the uninitiated, Daemon is also married to his own niece Rhaenyra Targaryen (Emma D’Arcy). In this House of the Dragon episode, the visions he has of his mother are sent by witch Alys Rivers (Gayle Rankin) to wig him out.

One person questioned the point of the scene including Daemon’s mother, labelling it as “so cringe, disgusting and absolutely unnecessary” on X, formerly known as Twitter.

“Daemon snap out of it! Eating thy mother’s box was not on my bingo card for this episode,” another wrote.

Heavens to Betsy.

If you want to see what went down for yourself (no judgement), then you can stream The House of Dragon on BINGE.

Stars share tributes for Shannen Doherty following the news of her death

by CHATTR Team

Shannen Doherty has sadly died after a long battle with cancer. She was just 53 years old.

Shannen was well known for her roles in Charmed, Beverly Hills, 90210, Heathers, Mallrats and more.

Shannen’s publicist confirmed the tragic news to PEOPLE overnight.

Shannen Doherty’s publicist confirmed the news

“It is with a heavy heart that I confirm the passing of actress Shannen Doherty,” Shannen’s longtime publicist, Leslie Sloane, confirmed in an exclusive statement to PEOPLE.

“On Saturday, July 13, she lost her battle with cancer after many years of fighting the disease.

“The devoted daughter, sister, aunt and friend was surrounded by her loved ones as well as her dog, Bowie.

“The family asks for their privacy at this time so they can grieve in peace,” the statement continued.

Costars mourn Shannen Doherty’s death

Shannen’s costars and friends have been taking to social media to grieve following the news of her death.

Rose McGowan, who starred in Charmed following Shannen’s departure from the hit show, remembered her friend as a “soft-hearted badass” with the “heart of a lion”.

You can read the full tribute below.

Jennie Garth starred in Beverly Hills, 90210 with Shannen, both in the original version of the series and the 90210 reboot which started airing in 2008.

“I am still processing my tremendous grief over the loss of my long-time friend Shannen, the woman I have often described as one of the strongest people I have ever known,” Jennie wrote alongside photos of the pair from their early Beverly Hills, 90210 days.

You can read the full tribute below.

Shenae Grimes-Beech, who played Annie Wilson in the 90210 reboot alongside Shannen, shared her tribute on Instagram Reels.

“To the icon, the legend, the take-no-sh!t WARRIOR of a woman, Shannen Doherty… thank you for inspiring me in more ways than I can bring myself to put into words right now,” Shenae wrote alongside a video she posted to Instagram.

“You paved the way and it was an absolute privilege and honour to follow in your footsteps.”

Watch her full video and read what she had to say about Shannen’s inspiration in the post below.

Tori Spelling wrote “I don’t have outward words yet… but we KNEW and that’s what matters” to her Instagram Stories alongside a selfie of her and Shannen.

Tori was also in Beverly Hills, 90210. Image: Instagram / @torispelling.

Shannen Doherty cause of death

Shannen was diagnosed with breast cancer almost a decade ago. She confirmed the news in August 2015 when she was aged 44.

“Yes, I have breast cancer, and I am currently undergoing treatment,” the actress said in a statement to PEOPLE at the time.

Two years later Shannen went into remission but announced in 2020 that the cancer had returned as Stage 4. It was made public in court documents that her cancer was terminal, as reported by TODAY.

Shannen underwent brain surgery in 2023 following the cancer metastasising to her bones and brain.

Shannen had been open and honest about her condition in her ‘Let’s Be Clear’ podcast, sharing that earlier treatment protocols were no longer working.

Our thoughts are with Shannen’s family and friends during this incredibly difficult time.

One social media post has caused uproar between the MAFS cast

by CHATTR Team

The Married At First Sight 2024 drama is still in full force with Sara Mesa and Lauren Dunn calling out MAFS groom Tim Calwell for his latest Instagram Reel.

But now the rest of the MAFS cast have gotten involved, as they do, and the word ‘drama’ just doesn’t cut it.

Keep reading to catch up on everything from start to finish.

What did Tim post on Instagram?

Tim shared a video to his 111,000 Instagram followers which featured Tim doing activities with his new girlfriend, Barbara Griebeler, attending a few appointments and showing a car with a sign reading, “WARNING! 100% BITCH”.

“This car reminds me of someone,” Tim’s voiceover said.

Sara, who was fake-married to Tim during the experiment, took to Instagram Stories to express her frustration.

What Sara said about Tim’s reel

“If my partner put a video of us doing cute things together on the internet for the world to see and then subliminally took a dig at his ex-girlfriend, I would be livid. Livid,” Sara said in her Instagram Stories.

“I hope that she’s still okay that you mentioned me in there, regardless of whether it’s calling me ‘100% Bitch’. Don’t you think that it’s time to move on and give her that respect as well?” Sara asked.

Sara also suggested that there was a side of Tim not shown on MAFS Season 11.

“That reel that you made including me is giving insecure and that is the man that you showed to me the whole time on the show. And I really wish that people could have seen that side.”

What Lauren had to say about Tim’s reel

Sara’s MAFS bestie, Lauren, also entered the chat in her own Q&A on Instagram Stories.

“Do these men not get it? We just don’t call women bitches in 2024,” Lauren said.

“The men in our season, they just weren’t it. They just don’t understand society and what’s acceptable and what’s not acceptable,” she continued.

“Just a lack of intelligence and I can’t argue with stupid people.”

Lauren also noted that she was sent the video because she doesn’t follow Tim.

What Tim had to say about his reel

Speaking to Yahoo Lifestyle!, Tim said that he didn’t mention anyone specifically.

“I didn’t actually mention anyone at all! It seems like everyone is projecting their own thoughts onto my reel,” he told Yahoo Lifestyle!

“I like talking about my life experiences, regardless of if that chapter in my life is closed. MAFS is certainly a unique experience and I’ll likely keep sharing mine.”

What the MAFS cast are saying about the post

When the account @sodramaticpodcast_ posted Sara’s Instagram Story on their own page, fellow MAFS 2024 cast member Eden Harper entered the chat.

The video moment the cast are talking about. Image: @timcalwell

“So Sara can call Cass [Allen] a c****, Lauren call Jono [McCullough] a snake, dog, c*** (to name a few),” Eden wrote in the comments section.

“But that’s funny and lighthearted… It’s only unacceptable and wrong when Tim does it? The double standards are laughable.”

MAFS intruder Michael Felix added, “Louder for the people in the back” and Jono wrote, “Double standard queens.”

When asked by Chattr what her thoughts are about Sara and Lauren calling out Tim’s behaviour, she made it clear that what Tim said was “inappropriate”.

“I don’t think there was any malicious intent from Tim, but it’s definitely important for him to understand that using that kind of language is inappropriate and can be really damaging,” Eden told Chattr.

“However, I also believe that Lauren and Sara need to take some accountability for the name calling, insults, and bullying behaviour that they constantly demonstrate themselves.”

What do Lauren and Sara think about their cast’s comments?

In response to the “double standards” claims of her cast mates, Sara argued that “two wrongs don’t make a right”.

“Just because I did wrong doesn’t mean that Tim gets a hall pass for alluding to calling me a bitch,” Sara told Chattr.

“I apologised to Cassandra,” Sara added, in response to calling her the C word.

“That is the only time I use vulgar language to someone. And I would never do that publicly on the internet for the world to see.”

Lauren responded to the comments from her MAFS cast mates in a follow-up video on Instagram.

“I was the queen of the insult. I understand that. The purpose of what we’re talking about is men with a platform perpetuating language that is violent to women.”

MAFS continue to deliver lessons in what’s acceptable even without them all on our screens, no John Aiken required.

Will Ferrell was “so embarrassed” by his real name growing up

by Chantelle Schmidt

As with many celebrities you see and hear about, Will Ferrell is not actually the Stepbrothers actor’s real name.

In fact, Ferrell rarely gets addressed by his real name and would get “so embarrassed” if it was ever brought up.

In celebration of Anchorman‘s 20th anniversary, Ferrel joined his costar Christina Applegate and Jamie-Lynn Sigler (Big Sky) on their MeSsy podcast, where he discussed his legal name.

will ferrell real name
“It wasn’t my choice,” Will said on his legal name. Image: FOX Searchlight

What is Will Ferrell’s real name?

Ferrell’s legal name is John William Ferrell.

Discussing his youth with Applegate, Ferrell mentioned that he was able to make friends easily thanks to “being funny”.

However, he mentioned that the start of every school year could be quite embarrassing for him thanks to his real name rearing its head.

“This is a minor thing in terms of — it’s not really even trauma — but I remember feeling so embarrassed because my real name is John, John William Ferrell, so first day of school, I’d be John,” Ferrel recalled on the podcast.

“The teacher would be like ‘John Ferrell?’ and it was so embarrassing to me to have to say ‘Here, but I go by Will, I don’t go by John.’ “

Does Ferrell ever use his real first name?

Ferrell noted it took a while for his teachers to remember that he actually went by Will and not John, which was “excruciating”.

He also explained that kids at school would ask about his name after hearing him correct the teachers.

“I don’t know why that was so embarrassing to me to have to explain ‘I’m actually Will’,” he said.

“My parents named [me] John but they called me Will. I grew up as Will, but on a rule sheet, my legal name is John Ferrell.”

Ferrell told Applegate that he doesn’t like his legal name because it wasn’t his “choice”.

To be fair, I know a few people who’ve gone by their middle name their whole lives.

by CHATTR Team

Can you believe we’re already being treated to a new batch of Farmer Wants A Wife farmers for 2025? Feels like just yesterday we wrapped the latest season!

From first glances, I think we’re in for quite the ride.

Now all that’s left for you to do is see if there’s a farmer below that tickles you haystack, and get your Farmer Wants A Wife application in for 2025.

Let’s meet our new Farmer Wants A Wife farmers.

Farmer Jack

Farmer Jack is a 26-year-old living on a cattle farm in Oberon, NSW. He’s 6ft (because apparently that matters) and a family man whose dream is “to keep what we have in the family and to continue the line”.

His farming heritage that dates back to the 1800s.

“Some people call me a bit of a larrikin, and a cheeky sort of bloke,” Farmer Jack says of his easygoing attitude to life.

Farmer Jack L

Indeed, another Farmer Jack. He’s also 26 but lives in Tasmania on a dairy farm.

“I am very reliable, hardworking, honest and straightforward,” Farmer Jack L‘s Farmer Wants A Wife profile reads.

“My friends would say I’m always there for them, I don’t say no if I’m needed that’s for sure.”

Sounds like a stellar dude if you ask me!

Farmer Jarrad

farmer 2024 fwaw

Farmer Jarrad is just 21-years-old and describes himself as a “goofy creative”. He lives on a sheep farm outside of Stanthorpe, Queensland.

“I’ll also send you crazy from singing too much,” he says. (I’ve watched his intro reel and can confirm he has a fantastic voice, so don’t worry about that!)

Farmer Thomas

farmer thomas fwaw 2025

Farmer Thomas is 35-year-old “hardworking and driver farmer” living on a wheat, lentil and barley farm in Kimba, South Australia. He is the oldest of the Farmer Wants A Wife farmers in our 2025 crop.

He’s a whopping 6’4 in height and is looking for someone who is “kind, caring and honest” with their own passions.

Farmer Reidy

Farmer Reidy is looking for love and with a banana and avocado farm, I think he might have a few contenders. Unrelated, but he’s 6’5 in height.

Farmer Reidy describes himself as “outgoing, energetic, happy, and hard working individual”. He’s well travelled but calls Mareeba in Queensland home. He’s 29.

Farmer Corey

farmer corey 2025

Farmer Corey is a 24-year-old working on a beans, hay and cotton farm in Biloela, Queensland. What’s he looking for?

“I’d like to have a partner who is kind and giving and able to enjoy the simple life, the farm and the way we live. I want a team player and a best mate to take on life with.”

Farmer Tom

farmer tom farmer 2025

Farmer Tom is a 31-year-old sheep farmer from Borambola, New South Wales. He’s keen to find a wife to share his life on the farm with!

Farmer Tom loves Taylor Swift (music) because he’s only human. He’d love to find “someone who looks for positives instead of negatives”.

Farmer Chooka

farmer chooka fwaw 2025

Farmer Chooka is 25 years old and working on a cattle, sheep and crop farm in Goornong, Victoria. He’s a community bloke who describes himself as “a funny, mischievous larrikin”.

What’s he looking for when it comes to love?

“The most important thing is that the relationship is healthy. This would involve good communication, love and honesty. “

Friendly reminder: Farmer Wants A Wife Australia has created 10 marriages and 26 kids (!!!) since it started airing. It’s a much better success rate than Married At First Sight and The Bachelor (RIP), right?

This podcast host reckons Eric Stonestreet is the worst guest she’s ever had

by CHATTR Team

If you think that Cam from Modern Family — Eric Stonestreet — is likely the loveliest person in the world, podcast host Taylor Strecker‘s firsthand opinion of the actor is here to shake things up.

During an episode of Amazon Live’s In Bed With Paige DeSorbo (if you don’t listen to her Giggly Squad podcast with Hannah Berner, you should), Strecker did not hold back on her experience with the Modern Family star.

eric stonestreet modern family
Well, this should be interesting! Image: Modern Family

“Who’s the worst guest you’ve ever had on your podcast?” DeSorbo asked Strecker, who is the host of the Taste of Taylor podcast.

Unfazed, Strecker dropped Stonestreet’s name like the hot tea it is.

“He’s [Cameron Tucker] from Modern Family, and he’s like the chubby, jolly, sweet, funny one,” Strecker clarified when DeSorbo didn’t recognise the name.

“Could he be anything but… nasty!”

Strecker explained she quickly learned he was on her podcast to promote none other than Pepto-Bismol.

For the uninitiated, Pepto-Bismol is an anti-diarrhoea medication that’s a staple in American households but not available in Australia.

“I didn’t know!” Strecker explained.

Why was Eric Stonestreet her “worst” guest?

“So we’re chatting away, and I’m being my adorable self, and then he hits me with, ‘So when are we gonna talk about Pepto-Bismol?’”

Trying to roll with it, Strecker joked, “I have hemorrhoids. I’m the queen of diarrhea. I love Pepto-Bismol! We can talk about whatever you want.”

That was when she explained that things got a little sassy, if you will.

“And he said to me — and I quote — ‘Somebody didn’t do their homework.,” Strecker recalled.

As someone who interviews people in media regularly, that’s a pretty rough thing to hear.

“I said, ‘I’m sorry. Am I getting paid by Pepto-Bismol? No. So that’s your job to figure out, not mine.”

You know when people are relaying a story and it’s unclear if they actually said that thing or just thought it in response? I really hope she said that to him for the popcorn value alone.

It’s understood that the podcast appearance was likely around the time of his 2011 partnership with Pepto-Bismol for a Feeding America campaign.

I’d love to know the thoughts of whoever was the Pepto-Bismol publicist at the time. You know what they say? There are 17 sides to every story.

Chelsea Handler roasts Sam Taunton over Margot Robbie pregnancy joke

by CHATTR Team

Esteemed US comedian Chelsea Handler told The Project host Sam Taunton exactly how she felt about the Margot Robbie pregnancy joke he made and it wasn’t pretty.

Rumours quickly spread yesterday that Robbie and her partner, Tom Ackerley, were expecting their first child after paparazzi shots of the actress sporting an exposed stomach surfaced.

As Australia’s golden girl, it’s no surprise that Robbie’s reported pregnancy with Ackerley was a topic of conversation on the entertainment news program, The Project.

What was the Margot Robbie pregnancy joke?

“I’ve seen the Barbie movie by the way,” Taunton said. “It’s going to have to be a C-section.”

The joke didn’t immediately land with his cohosts, who started asking what he meant.

“About her in the Barbie movie?” he continued.

“What do you mean?” cohost Georgie Tunny asked.

“She doesn’t have a… [vagina],” Taunton finished.

What did Chelsea Handler say to Sam Taunton?

Later in The Project episode, which aired Monday, June 8, Handler joined the desk to promote her upcoming comedy tour titled ‘Little Big Bitch’.

“Before you get started, I want to touch on your Barbie joke,” Handler told Taunton.

“How can you even make a joke like that when you know a comedian is coming on the show? That’s humiliating for both of us,” she roasted him.

“It was a really bad joke. I felt so bad for you.”

Obviously aware of the cringe-worthy joke, Taunton told Handler that he was hoping it would never be brought up again.

“I had to,” Handler replied.

Sarah Harris and Tunny looked visibly uncomfortable as the exchange was happening, but also like they were low-key loving it. Who doesn’t love a good roast of their mate?

While it was definitely a case of two comedians joking with one another, it’s got to hurt to be schooled by someone so iconic on national television!

Handler’s tour kicks off in Melbourne Tuesday, July 9, and will also stop in Brisbane and Sydney. Buy tickets here.

If you’re thinking, ‘Reality TV dating shows never work!’ then I should first remind you that Farmer Wants A Wife Australia has created 10 marriages, two engagements and 26 kids (!!!) since it started airing over a decade ago.

It’s definitely more successful than the likes of, well, Married At First Sight and The Bachelor (RIP). So how can you apply for Farmer Wants A Wife 2025?

Farmer Want A Wife 2025: How to apply

Farmer Wants A Wife applications have officially opened via the show’s official website.

“Many Aussie farmers have found love through Farmer Wants a Wife Australia,” reads the application page via casting company MyCastingNet.

“Now it’s your turn.”

To apply, choose your favourite farmer by clicking on their profile here, scroll to the bottom and click the button that says “Apply here to meet Farmer X”.

You will need to be available between September and December 2024 (and agree to live on the farm for the length of shooting), at least 21 years of age and an Australian or New Zealand citizen or permanent resident.

Good luck!

We can officially confirm when the MasterChef Australia 2024 finale will air

by Danica Baker

MasterChef Australia 2024 has been a j-o-u-r-n-e-y, and now that we’re finally at the tail end of the season, we can confirm when the finale will air.

Throughout the season we’ve had impressive celebrity appearances, like Jamie Oliver and Curtis Stone, as well as some seriously drool-worthy dishes.

While this season’s been nothing short of spectacular, like all good things, it must come to an end.

Will Nat be in the MasterChef Australia finale

When is the MasterChef Australia 2024 finale on?

With just five contestants remaining, next week will see the competition enter Finals Week.

As per usual, the remaining Home Cooks will be whittled down until just three two are left to battle it out in the season’s final episode.

Channel 10 has confirmed to Chattr that this season’s MasterChef Australia finale will air on Tuesday, 16 July.

Who’s still in the competition?

At the time of writing, five contestants are still in the running for the MasterChef Australia 2024 finale.

Nat, Mimi, Josh ‘Pezza’ Perry, Harry and Sav will all take part in Finals Week in the hope of taking out the competition.

Harry on MasterChef

What is the MasterChef Australia 2024 prize?

The last standing contestant will, of course, receive bragging rights, as well as a whopping $250,000 cash prize. They’ll also (probably) gain a blue tick on Instagram. Winning!

What will happen during the MasterChef Australia Finals Week?

The episode that airs on Sunday July 7, will see one of the remaining five contestants eliminated. They will face off with some of the world’s most extreme ingredients and must select one ingredient to tame.

On Monday, the top four will tackle their final mystery box of the season. Under each mystery box is a golden ticket, and the winner of the challenge will be the first home cook to secure their place in the MasterChef Australia semi-final.

In the final challenge of the week on Tuesday, fish king Josh Niland will set a three-hour pressure test that will push everyone to their limits. Which seafood aficionado Harry will probably be excited about (if he makes it past Sunday’s elim ep).

The MasterChef Australia 2024 Finale will air on Tuesday, 16 July on Channel 10 and 10Play at 7:30pm.

Baby Reindeer almost cast this well-known name as Martha

Jessica Gunning wowed audiences around the world with her groundbreaking portrayal of Martha in the Netflix sensation Baby Reindeer.

However, news has just surfaced that there was another name in the mix for the role and I’m not sure how to feel about it.

According to a report by Variety, a source has claimed that agents for creator Richard Gadd (who also wrote and starred in Baby Reindeer as himself) “pushed aggressively” for Melissa McCarthy to play the leading role of Martha.

Can you imagine?

McCarthy reportedly wasn’t interested in the role

While McCarthy is known for her comedic roles such as her ones in Bridesmaids, The Heat and more, she has also shown her depth and more serious side in other roles such as Can You Ever Forgive Me? in 2018.

“A knowledgeable source says McCarthy met Gadd about the role but ultimately wasn’t interested,” the Variety report said.

“Those familiar with the production say Gadd micromanaged casting and fired his CAA agents after they and Netflix pushed aggressively for Melissa McCarthy to be cast as Martha.”

I don’t doubt that McCarthy would’ve been phenomenal in the role of Martha just like she nails every other character she’s portrayed, but Gunning’s casting was so perfect it’s hard to imagine the shoes being filled by anyone else.

Honestly, the way she brought so many layers to such a complex character was incredible.

About Baby Reindeer

Baby Reindeer has been met with high acclaim since the seven-episode series premiered on Netflix in April 2024.

Fiona Harvey (the woman claiming to be the real-life Martha) has since accused Gadd of lying in a tell-all interview with Piers Morgan.

Harvey has filed a $255 million lawsuit against Netflix, suing for defamation, negligence, intentional infliction of emotional distress and more.

House of the Dragon fans shocked by blowjob scene

by Chantelle Schmidt

You know what they say: oral sex sells. OK, maybe that’s not quite it, but the gobby scene in the latest episode of House of the Dragon sure is getting people talking about the hit show.

The Game of Thrones spinoff has shocked viewers of Season 2, Episode 3 thanks to a massive penis (or schlong, wang, meat slapper for the more fun among you) alongside a spot of confronting blowjob activity.

It happened around halfway through the episode, which I know not from watching (it’s on my list) but because of how wild the internet’s going over it.

So how does a bit of head happen mid-episode, you ask? Well, King Aegon II Targaryen (Tom Glynn-Carney) treated his soldiers to a cheeky night out at a brothel — as you do — following many drinks.

When they rock up to said brothel, King Aegon opens a set of curtains to reveal a bunch of people getting jiggy with it.

The first curtain? A rather large penis. In a mouth. In front of all of our salads.

In case you were wondering: it’s been widely reported that the penis in question was a prosthetic one.

More explicit sex acts were revealed as he continued pulling back curtains, but nothing quite slapped viewers in the face like that first scenario.

The Game of Thrones universe is not a stranger to nudity and sex scenes. In the same episode, there is a full-frontal nude scene of Prince Aemond Targaryen (played by Ewan Mitchell).

Regardless, nothing prepared The House of the Dragon community for what they saw in Season 2, Episode 3.

“Was not expecting an explicit blowjob then Aemond full frontal in the span of 2 minutes,” a Redditor wrote.

Could Home and Away OG Kate Ritchie save Summer Bay with her rumoured return?

by Chantelle Schmidt

There’s some strong intel that Home and Away‘s golden girl — none other than OG Kate Ritchie — could be returning to Summer Bay. And you know what? I think it’s what the show needs.

Kate Richie played Sally Fletcher on the Australian soap from 1988 until 2008 and her character absolutely went through it throughout her 20-year stint.

Her storylines included (but were not limited to) a dead husband, a long-lost brother and an imaginary friend. What a trooper!

Sally was an icon in Summer Bay and our television screens alike. There’s no doubt about it. And in my humble opinion, Home and Away has lost the plot in the years since she left the show.

That’s why I’m absolutely rooting for all these rumours about her returning to be true. But will it be enough, or is the show too far gone?

Will Kate Richie return to Home and Away?

Last year, Richie told her radio co-hosts on the Ryan ‘Fitzy’ Fitzgerald and Michael “Wippa” Wipfli that she’d definitely be back for a final episode of the show — not unlike Kylie Minogue returning from the final episode of Neighbours (or what we thought was the final episode).

“If Ray Meagher (Alf Stewart) asked me to come back, to change the sheets in the Caravan Park, I’d be there,” Richie told her cohosts in 2023.

More recently, the radio trio have been doubling down on her potential return, even claiming to have seen proof.

Last month Wippa asked Richie if she had caught up the the cast and crew from Home and Away, which she confirmed.

“I know you’re going back to the bay,” Wippa pushed. “I’ve seen your emails as I sit next to you in the office.”

“No you don’t, you have bad eyes,” Richie laughed back.

Wippa went on to say that he wanted to get “Home & Away fans warmed up” by “rolling out a couple of scenes here at Nova”. As he delved further into his plans, Kate asked:

“What is the point of this? Why are you trying to make me look silly, and you’re actually trying to blow an exclusive.”

Home and Away is “unrecognisable”

The rumours of Ritchie’s Home and Away return come after Meagher told TV Tonight that the longtime soap has lost its way.

When Ritchie started on the show, Home and Away was about a seaside community with the Fletcher family taking in foster children.

In recent times, however, the show became more focused on harder-hitting storylines, like crime, since the infamous “River Boys” (Lincoln Younes, Steve Peacocke and Dan Ewing) of 2011.

“I mean, that was just a great period. But was it Summer Bay? Hmmm …. in my humble opinion, not to that extent.”

But can any one person actually save Summer Bay?

While it seems like a return from Richie could help to get Home and Away bring back some lost viewers, there’d need to be more than just her reprised character to save the soap.

We’ve seen the return of other Home and Away OGs before like Roo Stewart (Georgie Parker) and Marilyn Chambers (Emily Symons), however, the show’s storylines and character mix were still different to its heyday.

Take Summer Bay High, for example. Not having the high school (we haven’t seen it since 2019) gaping hole in the current Home and Away format.

When a photo of ex-Summer Bay High students Casey Braxton (Younes), Sasha Bezmel (Demi Harman), Spencer Harrington (Andrew Morley) and Maddy Osborne (Kassandra Clementi) was posted to a popular Facebook group, fans were quick to get nostalgic.

“I wish they would use the school scenes again,” one fan wrote.

“I loved that it USED [to] encompass most age groups, if I am entirely honest I no longer get sad if I miss a[n] episode or two, or seven,” wrote another.

“Bring back those days. The present storylines are ridiculous.” 

Perhaps if Sally comes back and resumes her role as a teacher, and they bring back a whole bunch of teenagers that Australia’s youth can relate to, then Home and Away might be in with a fighting chance?

If they could bring back Kim Hyde (Chris Hemsworth) while they’re at it, that’d be great.

“I can overcome obstacles and keep pushing forward”: Lochy on his time in the Masterchef kitchen

by Amy Shapiro

Last night, fan favourite Lachlan “Lochy” Whittle‘s time in the MasterChef kitchen came to a devastating end after he lost the time auction elimination challenge to fellow contestant (and bestie), Harry Butterfield.

“I’m just really proud of the food that I was able to put up,” Whittle reflects, speaking with Chattr.

“To not have the apparatus of what I’m so used to and what I’m actually really good at, to be able to get as deep in the competition as I did. I am extremely proud of that moment.”

Whittle describes the solace he finds in cooking and the release it gives him; something he looks forward to after work, even on the “bad days.”

“[You] just put on an album and cook something delicious and just groove to some music, and everything’s going to be all right again,” he says.

Whittle’s story has touched the hearts of many a MasterChef viewer after the heartbreaking reveal that his mother, Jan, passed away from Huntington’s Disease just days before filming.

The news came out during the Mum Cook challenge episode, along with another poignant revelation: that Whittle has since discovered he has inherited the degenerative brain condition.

Despite not having a conventional upbringing, he recalls, one where disease was an uncannily familiar character, but “always a difficult thing,” Whittle thanks his mum for giving him the power in that cook “to be able to push through, and realise that no matter what there is, I can overcome obstacles and keep pushing forward.”

He remembers that challenging day on the Masterchef floor, “the crew and the other contestants and even the judges knew what I was going through, and the support that I had on that day was phenomenal.”

Thinking about some of his favourite moments from the show, Whittle is grateful for the close friendship he struck up with kitchen mate, Harry Butterfield.

“It means the world to be able to be able to come into the competition and be able to click with somebody like Harry from day one,” he says.

“To have that kind of support system, that we would do so much together on our mornings to help get into the zone. Going into the kitchen and cooking every day, and then being able to come back and debrief with each other, cook for each other, and just talk about food and support each other’s ideas… it just made it so, so great.”

The ultimate Masterchef ‘bromance’ – can we please make ‘Hochy’ a thing?

He also fondly calls to mind “a really cool moment” that happened with esteemed Vietnamese-Australian chef and restaurateur, Luke Nguyen. It was particularly significant to him, given it was Nguyen who first made Whittle “fall in love” with Vietnamese cuisine.

“I actually travelled to Vietnam because of falling in love with him and his show and how he talks about food,” says Whitall.

“In my first cook in that elimination, I tried to really ‘MasterChef’ something on a traditional Vietnamese dish, and just didn’t pull it off.”

Despite the dish, short rib Bo La Lot, being what he estimates to be around 15 minutes away from what he envisioned, Whittle describes “the little message that Luke wrote to me in my Luke Nguyen Vietnam cookbook, which was absolutely beautiful, that made me feel so good about where my head was at.”

“Don’t be surprised if you see that coming up in one of my restaurants, because I thought that was a fabulous idea,” wrote Nguyen.

The chef also gave a cheeky “Ps.” that he would be nabbing the wing bean and green mango pickle recipe Whittle used in his subsequent ghee-seared kingfish cook.

“I pride myself on Vietnamese cooking, and I tried to do a lot in that cook to really impress him. I may have bitten off more than I could chew, especially for a dish I hadn’t tested or done before,” Whittle admits.

“But to have that message after not being eliminated come down right in front of me really made me feel special about that.”

This is how much Harry Jowsey can make on a single Instagram Post

by Chantelle Schmidt

If Harry Jowsey‘s actions on the latest season of Netflix’s Perfect Match didn’t shock you then the serious coin he can make on Instagram sure will.

The 27-year-old Australian reality TV star — who shot to fame on Netflix’s Too Hot Too Handle debut season in 2020 — has an impressive 4.4 million followers on Instagram alone.

That’s a lot of potential influence and reach, something that is reflected in his estimated earnings on the platform.

As reported by PEDESTRIAN.TV, talent agency Hunter Talent has shared that Jowsey could charge just over $20,000 per post on the platform. Meanwhile, all a selfie costs me is my dignity.

Hear me out but I reckon I could also make $20K a post if I looked like this. And went on reality TV. Four times. (Image: @harryjowsey.)

In addition to his Instagram followers, Jowsey also has a podcast and YouTube channel to further attract brands into working with him.

Jowsey placed 28 in MediaWeek’s Social Media Influence 100 list in 2023.

He is also consistently re-entering the spotlight, following his reality TV debut in the midst of a global lockdown with stints on Dancing With The Stars, The Amazing Race Australia: Celebrity Edition and most recently the second season of Perfect Match.

Considering the cheeky possum knows how to cause a stir on screen, it’s safe to assume that each stint brings some increased engagement to Jowsey’s platforms.

In the latest season of Perfect Match, Jowsey was caught lying to his match on the show about kissing another contestant.

Is the pope catholic? (Image: Netflix.)

In the past, he was televised proposing to Francesca Farago following their rollercoaster romance on Too Hot To Handle.

The bloke does some questionable shit but boy does he know how to make good television. And with an estimated $20,000 price tag, I’m assuming he can do the same thing for Instagram ads.

The real reason McSteamy left Grey’s Anatomy won’t help you sleep at night

by Chantelle Schmidt

There are a lot of things I’m still forgiving Grey’s Anatomy creator Shonda Rhimes for (like that musical episode — why?) but the departure of Mark Sloan (Eric Dane) from the Seattle Grace roster is pretty high on that list.

Today Dane — the man who played McStreamy before he rudely McLeft us — has helped us inch closer to closure by clarifying why he was savagely booted from the wildly successful television drama.

Not mad, just disappointed. (Image: Grey’s Anatomy.)

(Side note: I’m going to assume if you’re here you know what happened to Dane’s character in Grey’s Anatomy Season 9 but, on the off chance you don’t, I should let you know that this article will include spoilers.)

In a new podcast episode of Dax Shepard‘s Armchair Expert, Dane opened up about his struggles with drugs and alcohol, however, clarified that it wasn’t the reason he left Grey’s Anatomy.

In fact, he basically says he didn’t leave at all — at least not on his own accord.

“I didn’t leave so much as I think I was let go,” Dane explained.

“I was struggling. They didn’t let me go because of that, although it definitely didn’t help”.

The 51-year-old went on to say that he was let go after his six-year stint on the medical drama due to his pay-check.

“I was starting to become – as most of these actors who have spent significant time on the show – you start to become very expensive for the network,” Dane told Shepard.

“And the network knows that the show is going to do what it’s going to do irrespective of who they keep on it – as long as they have their [Meredith] Grey they were fine.”

To refresh your memory, Dane was killed off following a fatal plane accident.

It was extra hard pill to swallow considering we had lost Lexie Grey (Chyler Leigh) — another main character and McSteamy’s longtime love interest — just a few episodes prior.

It’s still one of the most talked about storylines of the show’s 20-season strong run on air.

The deaths of the pair were so impactful that Seattle Grace Mercy West Hospital was renamed the Grey Sloan Memorial Hospital in tribute.

Dane joined Grey’s Anatomy in Season Two which aired back in 2006.

“I wasn’t the same guy they had hired. So I had understood when I was let go,” Dane explained on the podcast.

“And Shonda was really great,” Dane clarified of the mastermind behind the show.

“She protected us fiercely. She protected us publicly. She protected us privately…,” he continued.

“But I was probably fired. It wasn’t ceremoniously like, ‘You’re fired,’ it was just like, ‘You’re not coming back.’”

They say reasons can provide understanding and closure, but I’m not sure these ones are going to help me sleep any better at night. Especially when my dreams involve an alternate universe where Mark and Lexie have several babies.

But at least Dane can get decent shut-eye knowing that the show peaked while he was on it?

A year after his time on MAFS, Andrew publicly questioned the show’s ethics, saying he and his match, Vicky, were complete opposites.

Warner Bros Discovery — the company that brings MAFS NZ to screens — has said that they take their duty of care “extremely seriously”.

“Warner Bros Discovery (WBD) expresses our deepest condolences to the family and friends of Andrew Jury,” a WBD spokesperson told NZ Herald.

MAFS 2025: Meet Billy Belcher, the season’s tatted-up “top bloke” and resident Englishman

by Amy Shapiro

The upcoming Married at First Sight 2025 (MAFS) is shaping up to be one of the dishiest seasons yet, with plenty of rumoured drama on set to look forward to.

Thanks to some sneaky paps, much of the cast list has already been leaked. One groom-to-be said to be bringing something “unique” to the MAFS 2025 experiment is 31-year-old Englishman, Billy Belcher.

Here’s everything we know about Billy so far.

MAFS 2025 Billy Belcher

Was Billy a last-minute addition to the MAFS game?

According to Daily Mail Australia, Billy was indeed a last-minute addition to the experiment, with producers bringing in the “tattooed larrikin” to the bucks party at the eleventh hour to add “an extra dash of excitement”.

According to the outlet, the plasterer by trade is key to the show’s mission of bringing even more diverse and dynamic personalities to the mix.

One insider explained, “Casting someone from England was important. The show’s success overseas has shown us that viewers love seeing a mix of backgrounds and cultures. Billy brings that unique British charm and authenticity that we believe will resonate well with the audience.”

According to Daily Mail, Billy’s “bold personality and unique style” will deliver an “interesting twist” to the series.

What do insiders think of Billy?

“Billy is a top bloke, full of personality and style. We knew he would bring something unique to the show,” an insider shared with Daily Mail. 

Another source added, “He’s got a great sense of humour and isn’t afraid to speak his mind. We think the viewers will love him.”

Who is Billy paired with for MAFS 2025?

Billy is reportedly matched with TV bride Sierah Swepstone, who viewers might remember as the self-proclaimed “tall, horny bogan” from Jimmy Nicholson’s season of The Bachelor. This makes Sierah the first ex-Bachelor contestant to appear on MAFS!

Per Daily Mail, the two were spotted checking into One Global Resorts Green Square (formerly Skye Suites) together, and even paired up in pink for the cast’s first dinner party. The chemistry is sizzling… Now, let’s see it on screen!

Married At First Sight Season 12 will air on Channel 9 and 9Now in 2025.

However, MAFS 2024 premiered on January 29, and MAFS 2023 on 30 Jan, so we can expect the new season to drop around the same time this year.

Has any drama leaked?

It’s not MAFS without the drama.

New reports from The Daily Mail suggest there will be a “mass exodus” during next year’s season, with six people reportedly leaving the show in two weeks.

According to the publication, several participants walked off the set, with producers scrambling to fix the issue.

“Some members feel relieved to see certain couples go, while others view the departures as an insult to the experiment,” the publication reported.

Someone get me the popcorn!!!

Who’s in the MAFS 2025 cast?

Channel 9 hasn’t officially released a cast list. However, practically all of the 2025 brides and grooms have already leaked, and a fair few participants have reality TV links.

Some of the cast include The Real Love Boat Australia’s Paul Antoine, The Bachelor’s Sierah Swepstone and Lauren Hall, who is the ex of MAFS 2024’s Jonathan McCullough (no, not Lauren Dunn).

Are Love Island Australia 2024’s Em and Mercedes still together?

by Amy Shapiro

Model couple Em Miguel Leigh and Mercedes Knox were voted the winners of Love Island Australia 2024, so are they still together now?

Despite being voted the audience’s favourite couple, Em and Mercede’s relationship didn’t last long in the outside world.

Read on to find out more about what led to Em and Merecede’s break up. 

Mercedes and Em Love Island Australia 2024 Season 6

Em and Mercedes: Did they survive outside Love Island Australia?

Em, a 26-year-old content creator, and Mercedes, a two-time FBoy Island US winner, were the first couple in the villa to make their relationship official.

However, the couple’s glaringly obvious obstacle was being from different sides of the world—which, according to Mercedes, led to the demise of their relationship.

During an interview with Chattr, Em explained that once she’d landed back in Australia, and Mercedes was in America, she started to see their relationship differently.

“My travel home was about 35 hours. I just thought about [the relationship] on the way home and realized that I didn’t actually trust this person.”

The model said that doubts crept in about Mercedes’ intentions, as he’d previously been on FBoy Island US twice.

“I was really grappling with, ‘Is he genuine? Was he just trying to make it to the end? He’s done it two times before.'” she explained.

In an interview with 9Now, Mercedes elaborated further and explained it was he who suggested that they take some time apart.

“Coming back from the Villa, we were on a high,” he said.

Em and Mercedes on Love Island Australia. Image: Nine.

“After you come back, there’s a grace period where you get back to real life, and I kind of figured both of us were going to need that and incorporate that… so I said, ‘I think we need a break’.

“Then the break turned into being broken up.”

Em told the same publication that she felt the former couple miscommunicated about their breakup.

“I think I got home on Tuesday, and on Saturday, we agreed to take space. But I feel like the way Mercedes communicated that was a little lost in translation for me,” she said.

“His intention, he said later on, with taking space was that we would come back together. But I got that message and I was like, ‘We’re done’.”

On the upside, the Love Island winners appear amicable with each other, so is there a possibility they could rekindle their flame?

“Em is super excited to see me when I come to Australia,” Mercedes told 9Now.

“I don’t know if I would’ve said ‘super’… I’ll see you,” Em joked in response.

We guess it’s not a no?

Em and Mercedes’ Love Island story

Mercedes entered the villa as a bombshell, initially exploring connections with Xanthe Wessen and Sophie Mills. But things took a turn when Taylor Reid gave him the green light to pursue Em.

The pair got together just minutes after Em ended things with Taylor, who wasn’t too pleased despite giving his blessing. As usual, things move fast in the villa!

From there, Em and Mercedes’ relationship went from strength to strength, and the two made it to the Love Island Australia finale alongside Kaylah and Eric and Niko and Mia.

What happened between Em and Mercedes after the Truth Bike?

Em wasn’t happy with Mercedes after the Truth Bike. Image: Nine

During the ‘Truth Bike’ challenge in the villa, Em became pretty upset with Mercedes after he decided to share with the group that the couple had been intimate during their time in the villa together.

Following this, Mercedes attempted to talk to Em, who asked for a moment alone.

“I don’t know what’s going on, you should at least tell me your emotions,” Mercedes said.

“You’re mad at me for telling the truth on a truth bike.”

Em later spoke with Sophie, sharing that she was hurt, and Mercedes called her “emotionally immature” because of her reaction to him sharing details about a private moment between them.

Fans on Reddit have had mixed responses to this.

“Okay, watching the episode currently, and it does seem like he [Mercedes] genuinely reflected and realized how his response was a bit fucked up (def credit Steph for being a true friend and telling him what he did wrong). Really hope he tries to empathize with her [Em] more before lashing out in future situations,” said one fan.

Another viewer was less forgiving: “Why are we acting like you are given truth serum for the truth bike? You make a CHOICE, to tell the truth or not. He’s reminding me of his first shows: Fuck Boy Island.“

Another wrote, “I saw some serious red flags in that bathroom moment. Aggressive, domineering. The way he refused to give Em space when she asked to it was red flag city. Mercedes has this gentle, lighthearted exterior, but the dude has a few demons in there.”

Mercedes’ reality TV past

If Mercedes looks familiar, you might recognise him from FBoy Island America, where he won… twice. Yes, the Texan model made waves in the show’s second season by stealing a connection from his own brother, Marquise, in a move described as both “shocking” and “shady” by TikToker Leah Sauer (@positivelyuncensored).

@positivelyuncensored I need someone to discuss this niche topic with 😭 #loveisland #loveislandaustralia #loveislandusa #fboyisland #realitytv ♬ original sound – Positively Uncensored

Leah didn’t hold back, saying, “The only difference between Mercedes on FBoy Island seasons one and two and Love Island is he went and got himself some contacts.” 

She also commented on his flip-flopping tendencies, pointing out his habit of tailoring his personality to suit different women. “Pick one!” she joked.

However, not everyone is convinced Mercedes is playing the same game. One Redditor speculated, “He’s acting like a completely different person on this show. It’s made me wonder how scripted FBoy Island was.” 

Well, Mercedes has bagged his third win on a dating show, and he’s still single. Do with that what you will.

There were six couples who formed strong relationships in the Love Island Australia 2024 villa.

  • Em and Mercedes
  • Kaylah and Eric
  • Sophie and Dylan
  • Niko and Mia
  • Steph and Mimi
  • Taylor and Hannah

Are Em and Mercedes still together?

Nope, Em Miguel Leigh and Mercedes Knox are just one of this year’s Love Island Australia couples to break up before the show had even finished airing.

Although the couple were crowned the winners during the Love Island Australia finale, they have since revealed that they split shortly after leaving the villa.

In an interview with Chattr, Em explained that once she arrived back in Australia after filming Love Island, she began to doubt her relationship with Mercedes.

“There were a couple of things that I was flagging in [the Love Island] environment with Mercedes—definitely one being the way he spoke to me when we had our first argument.”

“After I got home, I regained a perspective that you’re just not allowed in the villa because of the environment.

She added that she experienced some issues with Mercedes in the real world.

“Honestly, one instance happened outside of the villa very fast that crossed my boundaries and that definitely added to me not wanting to continue things further pretty quickly after being back home,” Em explained.

“There were massive boundaries crossed, so no, I would not be comfortable rekindling things.”

In an interview with 9Entertainment, Mercedes explained how the break up came to be.

“I think I got home on Tuesday, and on Saturday, we agreed to take space. But I feel like the way Mercedes communicated that was a little lost in translation for me,” she said.

“His intention, he said later on, with taking space was that we would come back together. But I got that message and I was like, ‘We’re done’.”

Verdict: No, Em and Mercedes aren’t together.

Are Kaylah and Eric still together?

It sounds as though Eric Garcia and Kaylah Holmes may well still be going strong outside of the Love Island Australia 2024 villa.

Before Eric even stepped foot into the villa, fans of the show believed they had noticed a glimpse of Kaylah with a leaked Islander in a promo video, who is now identifiable as Eric.

Kaylah also admitted in an interview with fashion brand White Fox that she’s “still currently” with her “partner she met in the villa.”

We’re guessing she’s referring to Eric.

Kaylah and Eric are one of three couples that made it to the grand finale.

Verdict: Yes, it sure sounds like Kaylah and Eric are still together.

Are Dylan and Sophie still together?

Sophie Mills and Dylan Towolawi broke up shortly after leaving Love Island Australia 2024, and he’s now dating Mimi Paranihi.

Dylan and Sophie started having some issues after he discovered that she hooked up with Zane Prophet at Hotel Amor. Then, things took another dramatic turn when Dylan made an offensive comment about Sophie at the Movie Night.

Although the couple left the show still together, they announced their split shortly.

“Dylan did start acting a little bit funny, and he did give me a ring and let me know that there’s somebody from his past that has come back up and that he’s interested in getting to know again,” Sophie told 9Now.

“I just decided to remove myself from the equation, and I think it was probably for the best.”

Meanwhile, in a separate interview with the publication, Dylan explained that he and Mimi hooked up on a night out.

“After that night happened, we were just always talking and seeing each other on group nights. Then, the last month and a half, we’ve been out and staying at each other’s houses,” he said.

Verdict: No, Dylan and Sophie aren’t still together.

Are Niko and Mia still together?

Niko Fotopoulos was besotted with Bombshell Mia Dalkos from the moment he met her, and the two quickly formed a strong relationship on the show.

However, like most of the other couples, they didn’t manage to make their relationship work on the outside.

“Interstate is hard,” Nico told 9Entertainment. “When we got out of the villa, it was roughly about six weeks where we were talking, exclusive and seeing each other, travelling down to Adelaide and [Mia] to Sydney.

“After that it got a bit difficult, just a personality clash. It’s nothing to do with her as a person, we just didn’t align as well as we originally thought.”

Niko and Mia made it to the grand finale alongside Kaylah and Eric and Em and Mercedes.

Verdict: No, Niko and Mia aren’t still together.

Are Steph and Mimi still together?

Nope, Steph Blackos and Mimi’s relationship is well and truly over.

In a post-elimination interview, Steph said that he and Mimi dated outside the villa but split shortly after.

“Mimi and I are not in a relationship. We decided to stop things one month after the show, but we are on good terms together. I don’t regret anything. She’s an amazing woman,” he told 9Now.

Mimi clarified that she broke up with Steph after the two didn’t see eye to eye in their relationship.

“I actually called it quits with him, purely because he did and said things that I was not comfortable with. He showed another side of him that I didn’t like,” she explained.

“When the show finished, we actually got into quite a big argument that involved me stating that I didn’t want to continue this relationship.

“He kind of crossed my boundaries quite a few times, and I was quite upset about it. I feel like he was a different person outside of the Villa.”

Ooft.

Verdict: No, Mimi and Steph aren’t still together.

Are Hannah and Taylor still together?

Love Island Australia 2024's Hannah and Taylor.

Hannah Steinfeld and Taylor Reid left the Love Island 2024 villa with the intention of pursuing a relationship on the outside, but that never came to fruition.

Both Islanders confirmed that they dated briefly IRL but split shortly after.

Taylor told 9Now that he and Hannah “had a conversation because there was some information that came to light that we needed to speak about.”

“We started to get to know each other without the cameras and see each other’s lives and lifestyles, and there was something that didn’t sit with me morally,” he added.

Hannah declined to comment on the reason behind their breakup but said that they still share a friendship.

“Taylor and I are not together. I’ll just confirm that Tay and I are still really close friends and that we’re as close as we were in the Villa, just not romantically,” she said.

Verdict: No, Hannah and Taylor aren’t still together.

We’re heading back to the villa! Love Island All Stars is returning

by Danica Baker

Some of the fittest Islanders of all time are coming back to graft again on Love Island All Stars Season 2.

Last year, the well-known singles who were looking for love were all from the UK, but we have our fingers crossed the Love Island All Stars Season 2 cast will include some Aussie Islanders.

Last year, Channel 9 fast-tracked episodes for Aussies in mid-January so we are hoping for the same thing.

Everything you need to know about Love Island All Stars Season 2

When is it on?

Love Island All Stars premieres in the UK on January 13 on ITV2. No word on it airing on 9Now, but when we find out we will let you know.

Who’s hosting?

Love Island host Maya Jama will be returning to host the new series. She’ll be joined by the series’ popular narrator and famed comedian Iain Stirling.

Love Island UK. ITV.

Who’s in Love Island All Stars?

The cast list hasn’t been confirmed yet, but if it’s anything like last years, it’ll be a doozy. However, rumours about the upcoming cast have been swirling.

According to RadioTimes, Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu, who won the 2022 Love Island UK alongside Davide Sanclimenti might be appearing on Love Island All Stars.

The publication stated that the islanders who appeared during the season last year aren’t coming back.

Those islanders include, Liberty Poole, Luis Morrison, Hannah Elizabeth, Anton Danyluk, Kaz Kamwi, Toby Aromolaran and Georgia Harrison.

No word if any of the Aussie cast of Love Island Australia will rock up in the villa, but, it’s always possible!

Of course, there will be bombshells entering the villa throughout, however, their identities are still under wrap.

Is there a trailer?

Not yet but the Love Island Instagram page has been dropping little teasers over the past few days!

See below for the teeny trailer confirming the return of Love Island All Stars.

Will there be Casa Amor?

Executive producer, Mike Spencer, told The Sun that there won’t be a Casa Amor on All Stars because the series is running for five weeks, rather than the usual eight.

“We aren’t doing Casa Amor this time, but there may be another big twist at the halfway mark. I think we have got to be reactive.

“Casa Amor, as we know and love it, doesn’t really work for a five-week run because you need time to bed in, get to know each other, see if they are for you and if you want to switch it up,” he continued.

To tide you over until Love Island All Stars hits Aussie shores, why not catch up on Love Island Australia 2024?

The Block’s Dan and Dani share tragic news about their newborn baby

by Danica Baker

The Block foreman Dan Reilly and his wife Dani have tragically shared the news that their newborn baby has passed away.

Dan and Dani confirmed the devastating news in a joint Instagram post and shared that Billie Vera Reilly was just 10 days old when she passed.

“Billie Vera Reilly 8/12/24 – 18/12/24,” Dani began.

“It is with insurmountable grief that we share the news that our daughter, Billie, has passed on from this life and into the next at just 10 days young.”

“In Billie’s short time in this world, she taught us an intensity of both love and pain we never knew possible. She taught us what really matters. Billie was so wanted, so loved and she made us parents… and what an honour it is to be her mummy and daddy. She will always be our daughter,” Dani continued,

“It’s clear to us that Billie was far too good for this world but if we know anything for sure, it’s that Billie’s legacy will make an impact greater than all of us.”

Dani went on to ask fans to give the couple privacy during the troubling time.

“We understand there will be questions, and so many of the answers we just don’t have yet. We’ll share more in time but for now we ask for privacy as we work through this together and with our loved ones.”

Dan and Dani have asked for donations to The Royal Women’s hospital

The former The Block contestants have asked fans to consider donating to the hospital that helped them through their ordeal.

“We want to make special mention of “Billie’s Besties” at @theroyalwomens – the nurses, doctors & staff in NICU are some of the most incredible people to walk this earth and we’ll be forever grateful for the care and love they gave our girl, and us,” Dani wrote in the Instagram post

“If you’re in a position to, you can make a donation in Billie’s honor to The Royal Women’s Hospital via the below link.”

What time is Squid Game Season 2 released in Australia?

by Danica Baker

In some big news for Squid Game fans: not only are we getting closer to the release date for Season 2 (and Season 3!), but the official trailer has been released.

Yep, ICYMI, Netflix’s Squid Game Season 2 will drop this year, and Season 3 next year — meaning the gap between the two instalments is small.

The bad news? Season 3 will be the final instalment of the series. Boo!

Here’s everything we know about Season 2… and 3.

When will Squid Game Season 2 be released?

Season 2 of Squid Game premieres on Netflix on December 26, 2024. Netflix shows are typically released at midnight Pacific Time, which is 6pm AEST — so you can expect Squid Game Season 2 to pop up on the platform then.

While we know that the final season (Season 3) will be released in 2025, there’s no specific date just yet.

How to watch Season 2

The series is exclusive to Netflix and will be available to stream on the platform. Fingers crossed the whole season drops on the release date!

Is there a Squid Game Season 2 trailer?

There sure is, and it’s action-packed. The latest Squid Game trailer shows Seong Gi-hun (Player 456) asking to be put back into the game with the hope of creating change and ending the whole thing. However, the trailer highlights a long list of problems that stand in his way — including other players.

What is Squid Game Season 2 about?

The deadly games that made up Season 1 will be back for Season 2. It picks up three years after Player 456 won his games and took home around $38 million in prize money.

He’s determined to put a stop to the Games and is using his new fortune to fund his mission.

His first step is to find the man in a sharp suit playing Ddakji in the subway. However, once he begins his pursuit, he realises the only way to possibly stop the games is to reenter them.

How many episodes are in Squid Game Season 2?

Season 2 will only have seven episodes, which is a drop from the ten episodes released for Season 1.

The show’s creator, Hwang Dong-hyuk, explained his reasoning behind the choice.

“I wrote seasons two and three at the same time, and we were in production for both simultaneously, and currently we are in the post-production process for Season 3,” he told Deadline.

“When I was writing the script for the two seasons, I felt like there was a big turning point or an inflection point, and that was the end of episode seven, so I thought that it would do it justice to have a separate season after that.

“That’s why I had the first seven episodes as Season 2 and then the rest of Season 3.”

Who is in the Squid Game Season 2 cast?

Of course, (spoiler alert!) a huge chunk of characters died in Season 1, so some fan faves like Kang Sae-byeok (Player 067) and Ali Abdul (Player 199) won’t be returning. RIP.

However, Player 456 (Lee Jung-jae), Frontman (Lee Byung-hun), Hwang Jun-ho (Wi Ha-jun), and the Sales Man (Gong Yoo) are all back for Season 2.

They’ll be joined by newcomers including Yim Si-wan, Kang Ha-neul, Park Gyu-young, Lee Jin-uk, Park Sung-hoon, Yang Dong-geun, Kang Ae-sim, Lee David, Choi Seung-hyun, Roh Jae-won, Jo Yu-ri and Won Ji-an.

How to watch Paris & Nicole: The Encore in Australia

by Danica Baker

Reality TV’s iconic duo Nicole Richie and Paris Hilton are returning with a new The Simple Life-esque TV series called Paris & Nicole: The Encore.

Over two decades have passed since Paris and Nicole left behind their cellphones, credit cards and celebrity for The Simple Life, and fans are hanging out for the long-awaited release of Paris & Nicole: The Encore.

Here’s everything you need to know about the new series.

When does Paris & Nicole: The Encore air?

The new series will be released on December 12, 2024.

How to watch Paris & Nicole: The Encore in Australia

Paris & Nicole: The Encore is a Peacock special. Although Peacock isn’t available in Australia, we’re able to stream it on Hayu. Yay!

You can also stream the reality TV queens’ OG series, The Simple Life, on 7plus, 10Play and Prime Video.

Is there a trailer for Paris & Nicole: The Encore?

There is, and we love it. Watch it below for yourself.

How many episodes will there be?

The new show is a mini-series and will consist of just three episodes.

What happened to The Simple Life?

The Simple Life started in 2003 and ran for five seasons — it ended in 2007.

Nicole and Paris had a falling out in 2005, which is rumoured to be why the show ended. The story allegedly goes that Paris hosted Saturday Night Live that same year and didn’t invite Nicole to the filming.

As revenge, Nicole allegedly showed Paris’ sex tape to a group of people at a watch party.

Following the feud, the two socialites filmed the entirety of The Simple Life Season 4 and Season 5 separately.

Reflecting on the conflict, Paris called it “a little blip” in their 40-year friendship.

“Our lives are so braided together outside of that. Our relationship has spanned almost 40 years. So for us, I think that was more of a little blip,” she told W in October.

Messy! The perfect reality TV recipe.

MAFS 2025: Meet Tony Mojanovski, the season’s golden oldie

by Amy Shapiro

The Married at First Sight 2025 (MAFS) hype is in full swing, with next year expected to bring one of the juiciest seasons of the experiment so far!

Much of the cast has already been leaked as on-set goss just keeps spilling, including NSW’s own Tony Mojanovski – the oldest groom of MAFS 2025.

Here’s everything we know about Tony so far.

Before MAFS, Tony Mojanovski made headlines as a local hero

Tony, 53, is a council worker from the Wollongong suburb of Port Kembla. Back in 2022, Tony made it into the news as a local hero when he tried to save a teenage fisherman who was swept off the infamous Honeycomb Rocks. 

Tony was walking his dog when he saw the tragic incident take place. His noble actions solidified him as a community figure with a heart of gold.

What do friends and family think of MAFS’ Tony Mojanovski?

According to Daily Mail Australia, Tony is described by those closest to him as a “humble guy.” 

While Tony has struggled to find lasting love, his friends hope MAFS will be the turning point. 

“Tony’s a fun, genuine guy,” one friend shared with the outlet. “He loves fishing and the gym, and his dog Teddy is his life.”

But not everyone is sure Tony’s ready for the drama that is MAFS.

“Tony doesn’t like conflict,” the friend admitted, “so I’m not sure how he is going to handle the dinner parties when things heat up.”

Who is Tony matched with on MAFS?

Daily Mail Australia has reported that Tony’s TV bride is Morena Farina, who is a wedding MC and DJ and is also the oldest bride of the season. But their honeymoon phase might be short-lived…

Is Tony still married to his ex?

According to Daily Mail, Tony is still technically married to his ex-partner! 

The publication claims that while Tony has been separated from his long-term partner for three years, the paperwork officially ending their marriage is incomplete – a revelation the outlet claims blindsided bride-to-be Morena, who was “instantly smitten” with Tony.

“It was one of the best days of her life,” a source told the news outlet, “but then it all came crashing down when Tony made his bombshell confession.”

“At the honeymoon, he brought it up. He said, ‘If I’m married, does that bother you?’ It was a mess from the start,” added another source, who is reportedly close to Tony. 

Apparently, the couple’s troubles will be a focal point for the MAFS 2025 season, with Tony reportedly feeling “pressured” by the situation. 

“It got so bad that at one point he wanted to tap out,” the same source added.

Will the couple make it work, or become another possible walk-out of the season? We can’t wait to find out!

Married At First Sight Season 12 will air on Channel 9 and 9Now in 2025.

MAFS 2025: Are Sierah Swepstone and Billy Belcher still together?

by Athina Mallis

One of our favourite things about Married at First Sight (MAFS) 2025 is the wild pairings and it looks like the experts are helping to provide the drama with Sierah Swepstone and Billy Belcher.

You may recognise Sierah from the 2021 season of The Bachelor. Sierah was a contestant of Jimmy Nicholson‘s season of The Bachelor in 2021. He wound up choosing Holly Kingston for his final rose. (The pair are now married with a baby).

Billy has no reality background but hails from the UK as a plasterer by trade and according to The Daily Mail he was brought to the reality show to bring a “dash of excitement.”

But are these two still together? Let’s find out!

MAFS’ Sierah and Billy’s pairing

The Daily Mail announced Sierah as a bride in late July after she was spotted on set filming her backstory in Melbourne.

We don’t know much about why the MAFS experts put these two together. But from what we can deduce, Billy has been hailed as a “larrikin,” and Sierah is a self-proclaimed “bogan,” so maybe that’s why the MAFS producers put them together.

Sierah and Billy are still together!

MAFS 2025 Billy Belcher

Per Daily Mail, the two were spotted checking into One Global Resorts Green Square (formerly Skye Suites) together and even paired up in pink for the cast’s first dinner party.

We love that they were matchy-matchy for the first dinner party; we are hoping this is a sign that they will go the distance!

According to Yahoo Lifestyle, MAFS 2025 is slated to end with a “record-breaking” number of successful pairings, with an impressive percentage remaining together at the time of writing.

Fingers crossed, Sierah and Billy will be one of these couples that survive MAFS 2025, but only time will tell!

Married At First Sight Season 12 will air on Channel 9 and 9Now in 2025.

by Danica Baker

It’s that time of year again — the I’m a Celebrity 2025 cast clues are getting dropped thick and fast, and we can’t help but take a punt at who we think they may be referring to.

Every year, Channel 10 drops subtle hints about who will make up its all-star cast, and so far, we have twelve references on the guest list.

As the season of I‘m A Celebrity 2025 nears closer, hosts Julia Morris and Robert Irwin will tease the cast in videos that reveal more hints about who each of the celebrities is. Once they drop, we’ll do our best to use that information to uncover their identities.

Read on to find out the I’m a Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here Australia 2025 cast clues and who we think they are about.

Clue #12 Aussie stand up

Clue: “This Aussie stand up has travelled the world and had a surprise TV hit. Let’s stream it. Let’s see if their jokes can charm a snake or two.”

Our guess: Kitty Flanagan – she’s an Australian comedian who’s lived overseas and she starred in the TV series Fisk. It checks all the boxes.

Clue #11 A British TikToker

Clue: “An English TikToker is heading into the jungle. The only thing they’ll be posting is a cry for help. Hope they’re ready for some creepy new followers.”

Our guess: This one is a little rogue, as there are squillions of British TikTokers. However, the reference to crying has us wondering if the one entering the jungle is Lily Philips.

She’s English and has over 190k followers on the platform. Plus, a video of the OnlyFans creator crying after sleeping with 100 men in a day recently went viral.

Clue #10 A love influencer

Clue: “An influencer with a taste for love is heading into the jungle. But she may not love the taste of Africa. We’ve got our own secret ingredients ready.”

Our guess: We think it’s someone from Love Island Australia who’s gone on to rack up a big following since being on the show. We’re going to put our bet on Season 1 winner Tayla Damir (married name Tayla Broad), who has the biggest IG following from the franchise.

Clue #9 Reality royalty

Clue: “Reality Royalty is going into the African jungle. They’ll experience a different kind of luxury here. She’s conquered one house, but can she conquer the camp?”

Our guess: The reference to a house makes us think it’s a Big Brother or The Block contestant. People in the comments section of the Instagram announcement are leaning towards two-time Big Brother winner Reggie Sorensen.

Clue #8 – Reality star

Clue: “A spicy reality star will be heating up the African jungle, but will they be shocked at first sight?”

Our guess: We are pretty sure the words “at first sight” are a hint about a Married at First Sight contestant. It could be Cyrell Paule joining the I’m a Celebrity 2025 cast, who recently appeared on The Amazing Race Australia.

Clue #7 – Headline grabbing Olympian

Clue: “A headline-grabbing Olympian has a ticket to the African wilds. They love freestyle; will the Jungle break them?”

Our guess: Raygun. Given the nods to breakdancing, like the actual words ‘break’ and ‘freestyle’, we’re pretty sure this I’m a Celebrity 2025 cast clue means the Olympian is heading into the jungle.

Raygun (real name Rachael Gunn) went viral after her bizarre appearance at the B-Girls Round Robin – Group B at the Olympic Games Paris 2024, which scored her a grand total of zero points.

There have been rumours floating around that Raygun will join I’m a Celebrity 2025 since August.

Raygun, pictured at the Paris 2024 Olympics, may be joining the I'm a Celebrity 2025 cast.

Clue #6 – Comedian

Clue: “One of Australia’s most famous funny guys is heading into the African jungle! They won’t be laughing when the Crocs heckle.”

Our guess: The crown on the hyena screams Gold Logie winner to us. You know who’s a comedian and has won a Gold Logie? Tom Gleeson.

Clue #5 – An AFL sporting hero

Clue: “Fresh from the game, an AFL premiership winner is charging into the jungle. From the roar of the crowd to the roar of the lions.”

Our guess: We think that the “lions” reference has to be a reference to the Brisbane Lions. It could well be Joe Daniher joining the I’m a Celebrity 2025 cast, who announced his retirement five days after the Lions won the 2024 AFL Premiership.

Clue #4 – Leading lady

Clue: “A mega movie star will steal the spotlight in Africa. The multi-award-winning actress has had some massive roles, but will this be her biggest role yet?”

Our guess: The horses in the I’m a Celebrity 2025 cast clue clip suggest to us that this clue is about Sigrid Thornton, who played the iconic role of Jessica Harrison in The Man from Snowy River.

Clue #3 – Footy legend

Clue: “He’s swapping his glory days for gory days, and he’s one of these nine superstars,” the clue says before showing an image containing the following words; “lightning, boomer, rocket, horse, dusty, lion, spider, buddy, and slammin.”

Our guess: This one is a big tough one! But, considering Brendan Fevola recently claimed that Willie Mason is heading into the jungle, we have a feeling this clue may be about him.

Clue #2 – TV host

Clue: “She’s a TV host who’s no stranger to the fame game, but can she take out the jungle jackpot?”

Our guess: We think it’s Nicky Buckley. The TV presenter was the co-host of Sale of the Century in the mid-90s.

Clue #1 – A romantic leading man

Clue: A romantic leading man is heading to Africa. Can Mr Smooth talk his way through camp?

Our guess: Could it be The Bachelor Australia host himself, Osher Günsberg, joining the I’m a Celebrity 2025 cast? We think so!

I’m a Celebrity Australia… Get Me Out Of Here Australia 2025 will premiere on January 19 on Channel 10 and 10Play.

Are MAFS 2025 couple Jacqui Burfoot and Ryan Donnelly still together?

by Amy Shapiro

The excitement around Married at First Sight Australia 2025 (MAFS) is in full swing, with the upcoming season already promising plenty of drama!

The show hasn’t even premiered yet, but talks about who’s still together and who’s called it quits are already flooding the rumour mill.

Among the leaked couples generating the most chatter is Jacqui Burfoot and Ryan Donnelly, a duo insiders predict will be one of the season’s most chaotic couples. 

So, are MAFS‘ Jacqui and Ryan still an item? Here’s what we know so far.

Jacqui and Ryan’s pairing

Ryan is one of a few actor/model/influencer types joining the MAFS 2025 cast. 

As Daily Mail reports, Ryan’s now-deactivated Star Now profile reveals his acting background, complete with shots of him in a police uniform for a TV series. 

According to the publication, his friends describe him as a “super nice guy” who’s grown tired of swiping on dating apps and is “ready for something real.”

Meanwhile, Jacqui is one smart cookie. She’s a dual degree-holder, with a Bachelor of Laws and a Bachelor of Commerce from the University of Auckland. 

She’s also studied at the College of Law Australia and Harvard Business School Online. 

Per her Linkedin, Jacqui has been building a career as a lawyer and investment analyst between 2019 and 2024, earning glowing endorsements from colleagues like “most hardworking, dedicated, and intelligent lawyer-turned-entrepreneur.”

Friends of Jacqui have described her to Daily Mail as “an absolute delight to be around” with “a heart of gold.” Another insider told the news outlet, “Women everywhere will feel empowered watching her stand up for what’s right.” But how well is she pairing with Ryan?

Are they still together?

According to Daily Mail’s sources, Jacqui and Ryan’s MAFS relationship is an absolute rollercoaster of “fireworks, backstabbing, and chaos that makes past seasons look like Disney fairytales.” 

A production insider spilled that the pair’s antics both on and off-screen are “absolute bananas.”

According to the outlet’s source, Ryan is all about “pro-masculinity” and “embracing individuality,” while Jacqui is “unapologetically fierce,” often clashing with Ryan in ways that keep their fellow cast members perpetually on edge. 

Are MAFS 2025 couple Jacqui and Ryan still together?

“Their toxic chemistry divides the group,” another insider shared. “It’s exhausting for everyone involved.”

Even the MAFS experts, who are used to handling some pretty volatile matches, were reportedly “blindsided” by the intensity of this duo. 

So while it’s unclear if their story will lead to one of the MAFS 2025’s (apparently many) walkouts, one thing’s for sure: Jacqui and Ryan are going to be seriously messy together. We can’t wait!

MAFS 2025 will air on Channel 9 and 9Now in 2025.

MAFS 2025: Are Morena Farina and Tony Mojanovski still together?

by Amy Shapiro

The buzz around Married at First Sight Australia 2025 (MAFS) is real, with next season shaping up to be one of the most sensational yet! 

The show may not have even aired yet, but we’re already hearing rumours about which MAFS couples are still together and which have called it quits.

Much of the cast has been leaked before the premiere, including pairings like the season’s oldest couple Morena Farina and Tony Mojanovski.

So, are MAFS’ Morena and Tony still together? Here’s what we know.

Are MAFS Morena Farina and Tony Mojanovski still together?

Morena and Tony’s pairing

Tony, 53, is a council worker from Port Kembla in Wollongong, New South Wales, who earned local hero status a few years ago when he attempted to save a teenager swept off the notorious Honeycomb Rocks. 

According to Daily Mail Australia those closest to Tony describe him as a “humble guy,” with one friend telling the news outlet, “Tony’s a fun, genuine guy. He loves fishing and the gym, and his dog Teddy is his life.”

The outlet reports that Tony is paired with TV bride Morena, a wedding MC who also works as a DJ. Morena, 57, has been confirmed by an insider to Chattr as the oldest bride to appear in next year’s season.

Friends of Morena tell Daily Mail that she is a  “cool mum,” trustworthy, and “one of the most genuine people you’ll ever meet”. 

Sounds like the two share a lot of heart, but will that be enough?

Are they still together?

Unfortunately, it looks like the honeymoon phase could end pretty early for this duo, and for a crazy reason. 

As reported by Daily Mail, Tony might still be technically married to his ex-partner! Apparently, while the pair have been separated for three years, the official paperwork to end the marriage hasn’t been completed. 

The shocking revelation reportedly blindsided Morena, who was “instantly smitten” with Tony when they first met.

“It all came crashing down when Tony dropped the bombshell” during their MAFS honeymoon, a source told Daily Mail.

Another insider close to Tony added that it led to tension, with Tony reportedly feeling “pressured” by the situation. 

“It got so bad that at one point, he wanted to tap out,” the source continued.

The publication even claimed Morena was spotted “looking downcast outside One Global Resorts last week, suitcases in tow” after reportedly quitting the MAFS experiment in tears

While only time will tell, it seems safe to say the prospects aren’t looking too promising for this couple!

MAFS 2025 will air on Channel 9 and 9Now in 2025.

Love Island Australia 2024’s Em reveals if she’d get back together with Mercedes

by Danica Baker

Em Miguel Leigh and Mercedes Knox won Love Island Australia 2024, by a viewer vote but fans found out they split shortly after the finale was filmed. Now that the Islanders know how much Australia was rooting for them, would they be open to rekindling their relationship?

During an exclusive interview with Chattr, Em explained in detail why her relationship with Mercedes broke down and revealed whether she’d be willing to get back together with him.

Why did Love Island’s Mercedes and Em break up?

Em told Chattr that she and Mercedes had next to no time together after the finale, and her doubts started to creep in once they were apart.

“I think [the Love Island] experience is so wild, and you don’t have any perspective at all. You’re so close to everything. I will say when I was in that experience, I thought I’d met my person,” she explained.

“After I got home, I regained a perspective that you’re just not allowed in the villa because of the environment.

“There were a couple of things that I was flagging in [the Love Island] environment with Mercedes—definitely one being the way he spoke to me when we had our first argument.”

Em said that the time apart made her reevaluate her relationship with Mercedes.

“We wrapped the finale at 1am and then made it to the hotel at 2:30am. Then, my flight out was 3:30am the next day, so we had 25 hours in total together [outside of the villa].

“And, we had publicity to do the next day, social media, chat to a psychologist, so there was really no time to spend together outside of the experience before I was back on a plane, and then all of a sudden back in Sydney, it was so disorienting.

“My travel home was about 35 hours. I just thought about [the relationship] on the way home and realized that I didn’t actually trust this person.”

Em confirmed that the whole villa knew that Mercedes had been on FBoy Island US twice, but she didn’t consider that a red flag until after she’d left Spain.

“I was really grappling with, ‘Is he genuine? Was he just trying to make it to the end? He’s done it two times before.'” she explained.

Em told 9Now that she and Mercedes decided to take a break after the show because of the distance and never ended up getting back together.

Would Em consider getting back together with Mercedes?

Although Em and Mercedes share the title of Love Island Australia 2024 winners, Em told Chattr that she doesn’t see the couple rekindling their connection.

“Honestly, one instance happened outside of the villa very fast that crossed my boundaries and that definitely added to me not wanting to continue things further pretty quickly after being back home,” Em explained.

“There were massive boundaries crossed, so no, I would not be comfortable rekindling things.”

On the plus side, a single Em means we could see her on the next season of Love Island All Stars.

Tomorrow, When the War began actor Lincoln Lewis reacts to John Marsden’s death

by Danica Baker

Author John Marsden has died at age 74, and Lincoln Lewis, who starred in the writer’s Tomorrow Series movie adaptation, has paid tribute to the Australian icon.

John’s death was confirmed by The Candlebark and Alice Miller Schools, which he founded, on Wednesday, December 19.

“John Marsden transformed countless young lives through both his writing and his groundbreaking approach to education,” the school said in a statement.

“As one of Australia’s most beloved and successful authors, he sold more than 5 million books and was translated into 15 languages.”

Prime Minister Anthony Albanese also paid tribute to John, saying his work would “live long in the national memory”.

“Vivid, funny, quintessentially Australian, he wrote with a real love for our land and a true sense of our people’s character,” he added.

“His was a great Australian voice that spoke to all ages, here and around the world.”

John wrote Tomorrow, When the War Began in 1993, the first book of the Tomorrow series. It went on to spawn seven books, and then he wrote a follow-up trilogy, The Ellie Chronicles.

The original title was made into a feature film, which starred Lincoln (Home and Away), Phoebe Tonkin (Boy Swallows Universe), and Caitlin Stasey (Neighbours).

Throughout his career as a writer, John published more than 40 books.

Lincoln Lewis reacts to John Marsden’s death

Lincoln, who played Kevin Holmes in the Tomorrow, When the War Began movie, took to Instagram to pay his respects to the Australian author.

“Saddened to hear of the passing of legendary Australian author John Marsden – writer of the Tomorrow When The War Began book series,” the actor began.

“I remember John came for a set visit while we were filming in Fox Studios towards the end of production. Very few times in my life have I been as star struck as when I shook his hand. Lost count how many times I told him that his books were the only thing I willingly read in high school,” Lincoln added.

“He was so polite, so graceful and just genuinely happy to be there. Seeing his eyes and smile beaming after watching our scenes being filmed – getting to see his books brought to life is something I’ll never forget, both as an actor & a fan of the books.”

Mercedes Knox’s Love Island Australia 2024 win is his third reality TV crown

by Stephanie Nuzzo

Mercedes Knox entered the Love Island Australia 2024 villa as a Bombshell and wound up winning the entire series during the finale.

He initially coupled up with Sophie Mills but quickly found his way to Em Miguel Leigh. They made their relationship official but have since split up.

Let’s take a closer look at Mercedes’ story.

What do we know about Bombshell Mercedes Knox?

Mercedes is a 28-year-old model from Dallas, Texas, with a reputation for being particularly charming with the ladies.

In a video with Love Island Australia producers, he shared that “the thing girls like about me most is my charisma. I’m smooth, and any girl would melt when I talk to her.”

Where have you seen Love Island’s Mercedes before?

For some, Mercedes may already be a familiar face in the reality TV world. He appeared on Season 2 of FBOY Island USA and won alongside his former girlfriend, Louise Barnard, splitting a $100,000 prize.

Mercedes later returned to FBOY Island USA for Season 3, where he reached the top again, this time splitting his $100,000 prize money with model Hali Okeowo. Seemingly, that relationship didn’t last either, because Mercedes is back on reality TV screens — this time on Love Island Australia.

What did Mercedes go onto Love Island Australia looking for?

In an interview with producers, Mercedes said that he was looking he could “bring home to mama.”

He explained that he was “done with the bad girls” and was searching for something real. However, he said that if the girl he was interested in is already in a couple, he’d “act like she’s not in a couple. Everybody is single to me.”

“The other guys in the Villa are definitely going to be intimidated by me, I’m going to come in there and show the girls what they’re missing,” he added.

Where to find Mercedes on social media

If you’d like to give Mercedes a follow on socials, you can find him on Instagram: @mercedesknoxx and on TikTok: @knoxmercedes.

There’s quite literally a Reddit thread dedicated to “what is it about Mercedes,” discussing his charm and his appeal on FBOY Island. So, we can’t help but believe him when he says he’s the “worst nightmare” (and perhaps a dream come true) for the other contestants in the Love Island Australia villa.

Guess we’ll have to wait and see whether Mercedes can win his third reality TV show.

Love Island Australia 2024 is airing on 9Now.

Which Married at First Sight 2024 couples are still together?

by Anita Anabel and Danica Baker

It’s no secret that Married at First Sight (MAFS) has a track record of bringing together some of the most controversial characters in the country, but which of the couples from the 2024 experiment are still together?

Season 11’s brides and grooms dove headfirst into the intensity of fast-tracked relationships, laying their cards on the table, revealing their most vulnerable sides as they get real in front of Australia.

But with the ultimate goal of making their marriage a long-term success, which couples have stood the test of time, moving beyond cooked best man speeches, Confessions Week, the Retreat and each other?

We investigate which Married at First Sight 2024 couples are still together!

Jade and Ridge

Jade Pywell and Ridge Barredo quickly become fan favourites, and it looks like they are still going super strong!

However, things weren’t exactly smooth sailing at the start.

Back in February, So Dramatic claimed that Ridge cheated on Jade, however, he’s since shut that down in a private Facebook group.

“I’ve never cheated on Jade. We’ve had our ups and downs like in any relationship, but I’d never disrespect the future mother of my kids like that,” he wrote.

Ridge continued, “Maybe you guys should check your facts before believing every bit of rubbish that’s posted on the internet.”

Plus, not long after that, in March, Daily Mail Australia papped the lovebirds out and about at a Sydney beach.

Still, that same month, some eyebrows were raised when Jade spilled a bit of tea on The Pulse with Seany B & Emma G, as reported by Now To Love. She revealed a hiccup in their relationship, sharing that Ridge had messaged an ex, but assured everyone that nothing “physical” happened

“Ridge is such a nice person like, he’s so caring to everyone so sometimes he can do the wrong thing and message exes without realising that it would upset me,” Jade said.

“For me, I feel like it was a line that was crossed that I wasn’t happy with, just because I didn’t know about the interaction.”

Still, it seems like all is forgiven because these two are stronger than ever! 

Ridge recently posted the cutest Instagram photo of himself with Jade and her daughter, captioned “Fam portraits 🧑‍🧑‍🧒🫶,” to which Jade replied with a flurry of love heart emojis.

But the romance rumours really ramped up on November 21 2024, when Ridge posted a photo of Jade rocking a ring on that finger with the cheeky caption “soft launch,” as reported by Rayo.

What’s more, in another adorable Instagram moment that had fans buzzing, Jade shared a video of the two kissing and cuddling, with Ridge commenting, “Love you gorgeous,” followed by a ring and love heart emoji. OMG!

So, are they engaged? Jade and Ridge are keeping us guessing for now, but one thing’s for sure, we love seeing them this happy!

Verdict: Yes, Jade and Ridge are very much still together… and potentially tying the knot for real!

Stephen and Michael

Michael and Stephen aren’t still together and left the experiment during the Commitment Ceremony that aired on March 10th.

Verdict: No, Michael and Stephen aren’t together.

Lucinda and Timothy

Lucinda and Timothy left the MAFS experiment at the final Commitment Ceremony on March 24th. While they’re not together, they still have a strong friendship.

Despite their obvious differences, Timothy and Lucinda quickly became MAFS fan favourites. Lucinda managed to help Timothy start to open up, but both sides hit a few speed bumps along the way in their relationship.

Chattr exclusively published photos of Timothy and Lucinda sinking beers together on a Sydney rooftop on Valentines Day in 2024. Plus, they were also snapped out and about and in great spirits. However, Timothy was also papped sharing lunch with a mystery woman shortly after.

In February, Instagram account MAFSGossip also shared leaked photos of the TV couple at a BBQ in Melbourne. Timothy and Lucinda look very close in the photos, with her cuddling into his shoulder.

Verdict: No, Lucinda and Timothy aren’t still together.

Sara and Tim

Are Tim and Sara still together?

After locking eyes at the altar, Sara and Tim were smitten with each other. However, things turned sour on the honeymoon when the couple had a bitter fight over, erm, Sara not liking the tequila served.

Things took a suss turn during Confessions Week when Sara refused to do a task which involved handing her phone over to Tim and letting him go through it.

And things never turned around for the couple. Tim was pictured out and about in Queensland with a brunette named Barbara in February.

The photos, which were published by Daily Mail Australia, show Tim and Barbara on a cute day out shopping for plants together. In one of the pics, Tim ironically looks over Barbara’s shoulder at her phone, and it another she plants a kiss on his cheek.

You can see those pics here.

So yeah, it’s safe to say the couple is completely done and definitely not together.

Verdict: Sara and Tim aren’t together.

Ellie and Ben

Well if one thing is for sure, it’s that Ellie Dix and Ben Walters didn’t work out, they left the show during the Commitment Ceremony that aired on March 3rd.

One of juiciest spoilers of the season involvef Ellie striking up a romantic connection with Jonothan, who was matched with Lauren.

Ellie was spotted cuddled up with fellow groom Jono McCullough, who was matched with Lauren Dunn, at her work party last December. After that tidbit was leaked, Daily Mail Australia shared some photos of a steamy make-out sesh in the ocean between Ellie and Jono.

Jono and Ellie are still happily together today, with her latest Instagram post revealing they’ve even bought a house together!

Furthermore, back in February, Ben updated his Facebook profile to one of him and his new girlfriend Aileen. At the time, Ellie came out swinging, saying that Ben was seeing the woman while filming the show.

Verdict: They’re absolutely not together.

Jayden and Eden

Jayden and Eden. Married at First Sight, Nine

Eden Harper and Jayden Eynaud were one of the strongest couples on MAFS 2024 ever since meeting for the first time at the altar.

Part way through the seasons Jayden’s brother Mitch Eynaud pretty much gave away the fact that Eden and Jayden made it through the experiment together.

In October 2023, he shared a photo of himself on a couch cuddled up with a golden retriever. Not only does the dog look identical to Eden’s dog Cub, but guess what Mitch originally called the dog in the caption? Yup, Cub.

You can see the pics here!

However, while the couple did make it out of MAFS as a couple, they have since split.

On April 17, both Eden and Jayden shared statements on their respective Instagram accounts confirming their breakup.

“I’m saddened to share that toward the end of the show airing, our relationship came to an unexpected end. The ‘reality’ is, the person I chose didn’t choose me,” Eden wrote.

Meanwhile, Jayden penned: “Unfortunately, our relationship ended not long before the end of the experiment airing. As sad as it is, I’m so glad I got to go through this with such an amazing woman and a beautiful son .”

Verdict: No, Jayden and Eden aren’t together.

Jack and Tori

Jack and Tori. Married at First Sight, Nine

Jack Dunkley, 34, a personal trainer from the Gold Coast was matched with Tori Adams, 27, a business development manager from Victoria.

Upon requesting a partner more inclined to submission, Jack was instead presented with a strong and independent woman, raised by an equally strong and independent single mother!

With red flags galore, Jack was determined to be the dominant force in the relationship and while Tori was smitten with her new husband, at their wedding her best friend Leah felt his vibe was “off” — especially since all of his guests were clients from the gym!

Coupled with the fact that he gave off a certain Harrison Boon 2.0 je ne sais quoi and that he didn’t feel a spark with his new wife, we thought this relo was destined for the bin!

However, in a plot twist for the ages, it turns out that Jack and Tori are still together with the pair even spending Christmas 2023 together in Melbourne! Unbelievable!

Plus, Tori took to a private Instagram account on February 14th 2024 to share a photo of her holding some flowers, and the note referred to her as “wife”. So, unless Tori got married to a rando between when filming and now, it’s safe to say that the bunch she’s holding is from Jack.

Fast forward, and the couple looks more loved-up than ever, even teaming up on business ventures, including online coaching and fitness plans. As reported in The Tab, they’ve also invested in a swanky new gym, which appears to offer fitness support both online and in person. 

As the publication also pointed out, the couple has moved in together on the Gold Coast, with Tori sharing on her Instagram that they managed to get the whole move done in just two weeks. Things seem to be going smoothly, with Tori finding a new job on the Goldy.

And the pièce de résistance? In an interview with Channel 9, Jack said he plans to propose to Tori shortly after their one-year anniversary, which just passed. 

“I’ve told Tori that if we were to get married and have children, my time span on that would be about two years,” he said.

“So maybe in a year’s time, all things going well, I’d like to think I’d have a ring on it to be honest.”

Verdict: Yes, Jack and Tori are still together… and potentially getting hitched. Yay?

Lauren and Jonathan

Mia Hewitt’s role on Home and Away has been revealed

by Amy Shapiro

Speculation has been running wild ever since Mia Hewitt, daughter of Aussie power couple Lleyton and Bec Hewitt, was spotted on the set of Home and Away earlier in December.

Photos of Mia first surfaced on Monday, 16 December, showing her holding a Bunnings umbrella and standing alongside actress Jessica Redmayne, who plays Harper Matheson.

It raised the question of whether the 19-year-old is following in her famous mum’s footsteps. Bec, of course, starred in the iconic, long-running Aussie soap from 1998 to 2005 as the beloved Hayley Smith Lawson.

Is Mia really stepping into the spotlight? Or does she have her own plans? 

We’ve got the latest scoop!

What is Mia Hewitt’s role on Home and Away?

You might be a little surprised to learn that Mia isn’t on set to act. But she’s still very much a part of the Home and Away family. The talented teen has actually been working behind the scenes for some time.

Channel 7 confirmed the news exclusively to Chattr. 

“She is not cast, she is part of the crew, working as a casual wardrobe assistant, and has been part of the Home and Away family for the past year and a half,” a Channel 7 spokesperson said.

As Yahoo Lifestyle reported, Mia’s earned some fan love behind the camera, with sources revealing she’s “well-liked” by both the cast and crew. 

The publication noted Mia was spotted on the Home and Away set working alongside the production crew, and helping out in various jobs including holding up an umbrella for a cast member. 

Outside of Home and Away, what else has Mia been up to?

When Mia’s not rolling up her sleeves for Home and Away, she’s busy pursuing her own passion for music.

She plays guitar and sings in the band Father’s Favourite – a “bohemian rock ‘n’ roll” duo.

Speaking of the Hewitt family’s musical talents, don’t forget that Bec also launched a singing career before marrying tennis star Lleyton in 2005. 

The couple is still going strong and shares three kids: Mia, Cruz, 15, and Ava, 13.

Talent runs in the Hewitt household

Mia isn’t the only Hewitt making a splash lately. Cruz, Lleyton and Bec’s 15-year-old son, is carving his own path by following in his dad’s legendary footsteps on the tennis court.

Proud dad Lleyton even took to Instagram to share a cute post celebrating Cruz’s progress at The Newcombe Medal Awards. Aw, so sweet!
