During the April 21 Grand Finale, Skye Wheatley was crowned Queen of the I’m a Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here Australia 2024 jungle, genuinely surprising herself in the process!
Viewers voted the 30-year-old into every type of trial imaginable including the infamous Viper Room, which she calmy aced, staying in the darkened coffin of snakes for 12 minutes.
Now, speaking to Chattr from the South African jungle the morning after her win, Skye admitted that she had no idea what she was capable of.
“I did not know that I could overcome those fears,” she said. “I overcame so many in the Jungle. I put a lot of pressure on myself, and to be able to show myself that I am my own hero, is the best!”
Speaking of the Viper Room, the mother-of-two admitted that after this particular achievement, she “didn’t even care what people thought of me”, after having walked into the Jungle knowing that people underestimated her.
“I feel like everyone always judges a book by their cover,” she said. “And I feel like I’m guilty of doing that all the time. So, it was really nice to be able to show what I am made of and what I’m worth. I even surprised myself. I genuinely surprised myself.”
Skye had three things that kept her going
From the disgusting Tucker Trials to being bitten by a snake and having things blown up in her face, Skye went through it all — even hilariously saying at one point: “We’re not in the Gold Coast anymore!”.
But, according to the former Big BrotherAustralia star, she needed to remain “strong”.
“I went through absolute trauma,” she said. “Everything triggered me but I just had to be strong for my boys and for myself and for my charity, so that was all playing on my mind.
“Every time I went through something traumatic, I was just like ‘My boys. Myself. My charity.’ I was like I have to be strong for all of these three reasons and that was enough to keep me going.”
What Skye Wheatley learned from I’m a Celebrity 2024
Overall, Skye learned a lot about herself in the Jungle and was incredibly “grateful” to be a part of the I’m a Celebrity series.
“There were so many lessons that I learned in the Jungle and I felt like it taught me so much,” she said. “I felt so grateful to be there. I just thought to myself, how many people get to experience this in their lifetime? Not everyone has this chance in their life to face their fears and I got to face my fears for the very first time, and it was exhilarating!
“It was the most exciting thing for me. For me to be able to overcome that was just such a massive achievement.”
Skye won $100,000 for her charity, Bully Zero and you can learn more about them here.

Andy Allen faced a “big decision” about whether to return as a Judge for season 16 of MasterChef Australia in 2024.
After the tragic loss of Jock Zonfrillo before the season 15 premiere in 2023, returning to the famed kitchen was a daunting task, particularly because of the fierce friendship he had with his co-host and friend.
“There are a lot of feelings and there were feelings from before we began filming, to be honest,” Andy told Chattr in an interview before the April 22 premiere.
“I actually wasn’t sure if I was going to come back. It was a really big decision for me because Jock and I were two peas in a pod and we just loved doing it [judging] with each other.”
He continued: “I’m so glad I could build up the courage to come back because I would so regret it. I would so regret that because of just what MasterChef is, and being able to fly the flag for Jock and continue on what we started with Poh [Ling Yeow], Jean-Christophe [Novelli] and Sophia [Levin] and all our new contestants, I’m so happy with how it’s turned out.”
Andy Allen says the new judges embody the “MasterChef energy”
Speaking of his new judges, Andy said that the foursome embody the “MasterChef energy”.
“The MasterChef kitchen brings out the best in whoever walks through the doors whether you’re a contestant or a judge. It’s just such a positive and energetic environment,” he said before admitting it was also “instant” with himself, Jock and Mel [Leong] and any guest chefs that walked through the doors.
“Yes, Jean-Christophe, Poh and Sofia have amazing talent, but it really is brought out on the show,” he said. “Also they’re just bloody good people and if they’re bloody good people, I know it’s gonna work.”
Of course, for many fans, the series became synonymous with the second generation judges who joined the series in 2019 and now, the 35-year-old will continue that legacy.
“I feel proud,” he said. “I’ll never forget being a contestant on season four and feeling so out of my depth in that kitchen. I am really proud because I’ve grown so much as a person and I’ve been able to do that while being part of the best cooking show in the world.
“I owe so much to MasterChef and I’m just really really proud that I can give back to it and do a good job.”
Skye Wheatley has officially been crowned the winner of I’m a Celebrity Australia 2024.
The new Jungle Monarch was announced during the I’m A Celebrity Grand Final, and Skye beat outTristan MacManus, who came in second place, and Callum Hole, who came third.
“I’m shocked. I’m really shocked,” Skye told hosts Julia Morris and Robert Irwin after finding out that she’d won.
“I feel absolutely blessed to have had this opportunity and to go through the things that I went through, and to do it for these three amazing boys [Callum and Tristan] and the rest of you all.”
Along with bragging rights, Skye won $100,000 prize money for her chosen charity Bully Zero.
Bully Zero is Australia’s leading bullying prevention charity, it provides evidence-based education, advocacy and support for all communities across Australia.
Skye’s partner Lachlan Waugh and their two children, Forest and Bear, joined Skye in the Jungle on her final day and were there when she was announced the winner.
But it wasn’t just Skye who got time with her family before the winner announcement was made, Callum and Tristan were also joined by their loved ones, who participated in the final challenge. Callum’s dad headed to South Africa, and Tristan was cheered on in person by his daughter Echo.
Tristan MacManus came second on I’m A Celebrity
After Robert and Julia revealed that Callum had come in third place, both Skye and Tristan headed to meet with the hosts to reminisce about their time on the show.
“I loved it from the start to finish,” Tristan said of his Jungle experience.
Tristan was thrilled to discover that the show’s sponsor Surf had donated money to his charity Little Legs. Little Legs raise funds for awareness and help aid in the fight to find a cure for brain cancer.
“It’s a privilege to be able to put the very small amount of time we get to help spread the awareness,” he told Robert and Julia.
Callum Hole came in third on I’m A Celebrity
Love Island superstar Callum was announced as the third-place getter during the live finale.
After grabbing his belongings and exiting the camp, Callum at down with Julia and Robert for a chat.
“I’m so proud of myself, I’m so proud of how far I’ve come. It was obviously the best experience of my life, but the hardest too,” he told the hosts.
Callum was competing for his charity Movember, which raise funds and awareness for men’s health – specifically prostate cancer, testicular cancer, mental health and suicide prevention.
“Movember is a charity I chose originally, I do think men’s mental health is something that’s not spoken about enough,” he said. “If I can be an extra person here to help spread awareness and recognition, I’m happy.”
Julia and Robert revealed that the show’s sponsor Surf made a donation to Movember.
As the number of contestants whittles down on I’m A Celebrity Australia 2024, we get closer and closer to the new winner being crowned.
The series is filmed live, so there’s no way to know who the new Jungle Monarch will be until the results are announced. However, betting odds give a good suggestion about who may take out the w.
Considering that the winner is decided by public vote, betting indications certainly give a great insight into which way they’re leaning.
Mega Influencer and former reality star Skye Wheatley may have been voted into Tucker Trial after Tucker Trial, but it doesn’t appear that the public is voting her in because they want to see her suffer.
It’s quite the opposite actually, as Skye clearly has the best odds to be voted the winner of I’m A Celebrity Australia 2024.
What are the current betting odds for the winner of I’m A Celebrity Australia 2024?
At the time of writing, Skye has a return of just $1.44 to win, making her the front-runner.
Not far behind her is Love Island star Callum Hole with $2.87. Then, in third and last place is Tristan MacManus with odds of $6.50.
How do betting odds work?
Betting odds are tied to dollar amounts, and those with lower odds are recognised as more likely to win, hence the lower return. For example, if someone bets $1 on Skye and she wins, they’d receive the amount she’s listed at, which is $1.44.
The return is multiple. based on how much someone bets, so if they bet $10.00 on her, they’d receive $14.40. If they bet $100, they’d receive $144 and so on.
Do betting odds correctly guess the winner?
Technically no, because it’s illegal for anyone who has insider information about the winner to bet. However, they do generally give a good idea of who will take out the series.
For example, Kale and Tyra had the best offs of winning Love Island Australia at just $1.50, and they were crowned the winners.
Similarly so, betting odds suggested that Feras Basalwould win Australian Survivor 2024, which he did.

It’s well known that the Married At First Sight cast doesn’t have access to their Instagram after the show finishes airing, and Eden Harper explains why and reveals exactly when they’ll get access again.
Eden recently took to Instagram to reveal that she and her on-screen husband Jayden Eynaud had broken up, and the announcement caused fans to assume that she’d been given back access to her account.
However, Eden revealed that wasn’t the case, and that the post wasn’t actually shared by her.
“No, we don’t have our Instagram back yet,” she told The Pulse with Seany B & Emma G. “Channel Nine submitted it on my behalf.”
When I made the decision at final vows to be with Jayden, I really did that with longterm intentions. Jayden & I spent many months together after the experiment, during which Cub gained a dad and I gained a second family who I'm truly grateful for. 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 chose me. Whilst I'm disappointed, I will never regret the experiment, the people I met, the lessons I learnt and the growth this process has had on me. Thank you for supporting us and for also wishing for the same fairytale that I had hoped for.
She revealed why the contestants have to wait to use their Instagram.
“We’ve got to wait till it finishes in the UK,” she revealed. The Reunion Finale is scheduled to air on UK channel E4 on May 6th, which means the cast should be spilling tea on socials in early May.
When did last year’s contestants get their social media accounts back?
I’m a Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here 2024’sEllie Cole made history when she became the first Paralympian in the show’s history to compete for Queen of the Jungle.
During her swimming career, Ellie took home seventeen Paralympic medals, four Commonwealth medals, three world titles and nine Pan Pacific gold medals — an incredible feat!
Speaking to Chattr after her elimination, the 32-year-old was thrilled by the “diverse backgrounds” of her campmates, while also being “proud” of being a part of the group.
“I think the cast this year and the campmates this year, I’m a Celebrity absolutely nailed it,” she said. “It was an amazing, interesting group of people and I was so proud to be one of those people, particularly since there’s never been anyone in Australia with a physical disability or a Paralympian, usually the athletes are Olympians.”
Adding that it was “nice to be able to represent my Para-athlete friends”, she admitted that other Paralympians would have been “kicking the door down” with excitement.
“That was really special for me,” she said. “I always knew that this show was such a great platform for so many conversations and that I was going to be able to speak about what it’s like to be a parent, what it’s like to live in Australia with a disability and what my experiences were like growing up with one.
“I was just really happy to get to have a platform like this one because this show has been so wholesome. And they’re so great at creating interesting conversations and I just couldn’t wait to literally walk right into camp for four weeks to do that.”
Ellie reveals the highlight of her time in the jungle and the one story that didn’t air
During her time in Camp, Ellie candidly discussed her experience of losing a leg to cancer at the age of three while telling inspiring stories from her remarkable athletic career; however, it was when she took on the role of swimming coach for Stephen K. Amos, that she had one of the best experiences of her life.
“I had an amazing moment with every single person to be honest,” she said, “But, I think the one that stands out to me the most is with Steven and the waterfall….As Steven was approaching the waterfall, he got about two metres away and his eyes looked up and he saw the waterfall and his eyes lit up and just had this big smile across his face. Like, ‘I’ve made it’.
“I think that would be one of the top 10 experiences in my life being able to see that look on his face.”
While a very special (and tear-inducing moment indeed), there was one moment that didn’t make it to air that only Tristan Macmanus was privy to!
“I told him a story that I had not even told Sylvia [her wife]. I’ve not told anybody that story!” she said. “It was the most embarrassing thing I’ve ever done and he thought it was so funny.
“It was so bad that I had to swear every third word when I was telling him so that they literally could not put it on air!” GENIUS!
Well, now we really want to hear it!

Eden Harper and Jayden Eynaud took to their respective Instagrams to announce their break up, and now Eden has explained what really went down between the Married At First Sight couple.
Eden explained that she and Jayden’s relationship was going strong post-filming, and she was “blindsided” when he dumped her.
“It happened towards the end of the show airing. I can’t really remember the exact date,” Eden told Yahoo Lifestyle Australia. “But it was towards those last couple of weeks of the show being on TV. It was completely out of the blue for me, a bit of a blindside I suppose… it was just like a normal night. And he just said, ‘Yeah, I’m done’.”
“There was no argument, no nothing. He just said it out of the blue. I definitely did try to reason with him and try to figure it out and see if it was things we could work on, if he felt a certain way about anything… and yeah there was nothing. Nothing for him.”
Are Jayden and Eden on good terms?
Considering that MAFS started filming in approximately August 2023, Jayden and Eden had been dating for about eight months by the time the episodes had finished airing.
Despite spending much of their time together of that period, Eden said that Jayden had completely cut her off.
“I wanted to have a friendship and to be civil, but yeah, he hasn’t responded. This must just be the way he deals with things, I suppose,” she said.
Eden compared Jayden to his brother Mitch Eynaud
Avid MAFS fans will remember that Jayden’s brotherMitch Eynaudwas on MAFS 2022, and he brutally dumped Ella Ding at Final Vows. The couple got back together before the Reunion Dinner Party, but then split again shortly after.
Reflecting on the similarities between the brothers, Eden said there were a lot.
“There are a lot of differences with Jayden and Mitch, but there are a lot of similarities too, definitely. I do think there are distinct differences that are probably the ones that he spoke about on the show, like Jayden is wildly disciplined,” she said.
“He doesn’t care so much for friends and a social life and stuff like that. He’s really focused and obsessive, almost, on his sport.”
“But they can be a little bit of a smartass at times,” she laughed. “You know, that, like the banter between them. You can tell they’re brothers.”
I’m a Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here 2024’sSkye Wheatley has spoken about how she was booted from appearing on Big Brother 2022, just weeks before the series went to air.
During the April 18 episode of I’m a Celebrity, Skye said that a controversial Instagram Q&A about her longtime partner Lachlan Waugh had received such backlash that she was scrapped from the line-up via email.
“It started blowing up, getting posted to other pages,” she said. “She’s making her partner have unconsensual sex. [sic] I had to post an apology explaining myself.”
Adding that it was the “perfect example of how things get twisted”, she added that the business they had started at the time, Good People Apparel, was given the name from that situation.
“I would often vent to my best friend and say like: ‘Why can’t people just be good people?’” she said.
What was in the post that got Skye booted from Big Brother?
After one fan asked the question “Who is more dominant in bed?”, Skye wrote a series of “haha’s” before saying: “Me…But only when he mad and says he doesn’t wonna have sex.
“Ain’t nobody telling me no… I won’t take no for an answer if I want sessi time. [sic]”
“All these brands that sponsored me they said they didn’t want to be associated with me because of the hate surrounding my name,” she said of the post.
“Now I’m constantly paranoid about what I’m saying. I’m always worrying I’m offending someone or have said something rude. I know things can be taken so far out of context that it’s scary, so I have had to restrict myself a lot in what I say.”
Skye first appeared in Big Brother 2014, placing third behind winner Ryan Ginns and runner-up Travis Lunardi.

It’s no secret that Married at First Sight has a track record of bringing together some of the most controversial characters in the country, but with season 11 well underway, which couples from this year’s experiment are still together?
**WARNING: This article contains potential spoilers for MAFS 2024.**
Back bigger than ever, these new brides and grooms have 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 and Ridge have quickly become fan favourites, and it looks as though the couple are still together after Jade accidentally confirmed they’d watched the show together while live on radio.
During an interview on Star 104.5’s Gina and Matty on March 12, Matty asked Jade if she watched Monday night’s episode with Ridge.
“I did watch it with Ridge last night,” she confirmed.
However, things haven’t exactly been smooth sailing.
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, Daily Mail Australia papped the lovebirds out and about at a Sydney beach.
Jade has a temporary Instagram account where she shares photos while she’s unable to use her own account because of the show’s social media rules. She posted an absolutely MASSIVE spoiler in her stories when she shared a close-up photo of a man lying on the bed with a tattoo just reads “Jade”.
Upon close inspection, the other tattoos on the man’s back match Ridge’s! Which means that the couple are almost definitely still together.
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 have quickly become MAFS fan favourites. Lucinda has managed to help Timothy start to open up, but both sides have 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 the day of love. Plus, they were also snapped out and about and in great spirits. However, Timothy was also papped sharing lunch with a mystery woman.
Instagram account MAFSGossip also shared leaked photos of the TV couple at a BBQ in Melbourne this week. 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, it looks as though things never turned around for the couple. Tim was recently pictured out and about in Queensland with a brunette named Barbara.
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.
However, all hope isn’t lost for Tim and Sara as pals! They were recently spotted out on a date night in Sydney’s Double Bay. While Sara lives in Sydney, Tim’s based in Queensland, which begs the question of what he was doing in NSW.
Furthermore, Ben has updated his Facebook profile to one of him and his new girlfriend Aileen, and Ellie has come out swinging saying that Ben was seeing the woman while filming the show.
Verdict: They’re absolutely not together.
Jayden and Eden
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.
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
JackDunkley, 34, a personal trainer from the Gold Coast was matched with ToriAdams, 27, a business development owner 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 gives 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 together in Melbourne! Unbelievable!
Plus, Tori took to a private Instagram account on February 14th 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.
Lauren and Jono aren’t still together. As mentioned above, Jono is dating bride Ellie, who was paired with Ben in the experiment.
Verdict: No, Lauren and Jono aren’t together.
Cassandra and Tristan
Cassandra and Tristan aren’t still together. They left the MAFS during the Commitment Ceremony episode that aired on March 17th.
Verdict: No, Cassandra and Tristan aren’t together.
Andrea and Richard
Andrea and Richard aren’t still together. They left the MAFS during the Commitment Ceremony episode that aired on March 17th. In fact, Andrea is now dating someone new.
Verdict: No, Andrea and Richard aren’t together.
Collins and Natalie
Verdict:Collins and Natalie aren’t still together. They left the MAFS during the episode that aired on March 11th.
Maddy and Ash
Verdict: Maddy and Ash aren’t still together. They left the MAFS during the episode that aired on February 26th.

Diane von Furstenberg is the embodiment of an icon; she launched her own empire, dressed some of the most famous people of all time and has inspired millions of women all over the world.
Now, the world is given an insight into her incredible journey in the new Disney+ documentary Diane von Furstenberg: Woman in Charge.
Here’s everything we know about Diane von Furstenberg: Woman in Charge.
An unprecedented look at the non-stop life of a cultural luminary. At a time when gender equality and women’s issues are at the forefront, Diane von Furstenberg’s life exemplifies empowerment, resilience, entrepreneurship, and style. She is an inspiration to women with her unapologetic demeanour. Diane never saw herself as a victim of sexism; rather, she embraced her femininity in a strong and profound way, forging a path for her daughter and the next generation of women to follow.
Few women embody the gravitas, grace, and gusto of the incomparable Diane von Furstenberg. A citizen of the world and the child of a Holocaust survivor, her story, and its impact have uplifted people around the globe. In 1974, DVF transformed not only her destiny but also that of countless women with the introduction of the iconic “wrap dress,” a unique garment that instantly bestowed fashion and confidence upon its wearers, irrespective of their shape, background, or status.
As she approaches the eve of her retrospective exhibition, marking a 50-year distinguished career, Diane von Furstenberg contemplates her pioneering path in a male-dominated realm to erect a multi-million-dollar fashion empire – as an early visionary, and influencer, she challenged the status quo with the bold inquiry, “Why can’t a woman do what a man does?”
With resolute determination, she faced various challenges – she was a single woman balancing a career, raising two children, and bravely confronting cancer. These hurdles didn’t stop her; instead, she embraced them and they fueled her mission to inspire women everywhere to pursue their lives with equal passion and purpose and design their own lives. DVF was born to be a woman in charge. And, she was born to inspire other women to take charge of their lives.
When will the documentary be released and how can you watch it?
The documentary will be available to stream from June 25th exclusively on Disney+.
Who is in the cast?
Being a documentary, there’s not exactly a cast, and will include footage of DVF throughout her life, as well as current interviews.
It’s Co-directed by two-time Academy Award-winning filmmaker Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy and Trish Dalton and produced by Fabiola Beracasa Beckman, Tracy Aftergood, Sean Stuart, Obaid-Chinoy, and Dalton.
Is there a trailer?
Not yet, however, some first-look images have been released and you can check them out below.

Home and Away fans may know him as Jett from Summer Bay, but Aussie actor Will McDonald has a more recent gig as an eshay named Cash on Heartbreak High.
Will McDonald plays Douglas “Ca$h” Piggott, who is a Year 11 student at Hartley High. Cash is the high school’s drug dealer. He’s dating his classmate Darren Rivers (James Majoos), but their relationship has faced some problems because Cash is asexual.
Will’s role in season two of Heartbreak High has become especially poignant, as it has shined a light on asexuality in mainstream media.
In a recent interview with Chattr, Will touched on the bad boys ways of his character in season two, calling Cash “danger. Just danger all the time and from all possible angles.”
Who did Will play on Home And Away?
Will played Jett Palmer on Home and Away from 2012-2015 and appeared again for cameos in 2017 and 2019.
Much like Heartbreak High, Will was originally cast on Home and Away as a rebellious 13-year-old boy. His mum was a drug addict and his father wasn’t around, so John Palmer and his then-wife Gina (Sonia Todd) fostered him. He was later officially adopted by John and (his now ex-wife) Marilyn.
Jett left Summer Bay in 2015 when he received a cadet scholarship to boarding school.
Although Jett hasn’t been back to the Bay since 2017, he was mentioned in a recent episode. John told Marilyn that he’d recently got engaged to his girlfriend.
“He’s proposed to Lindsey and she’s said yes,” John told Marilyn.
“I knew that this was on the cards when I was down – they were just smitten with each other. [Lindsey’s] great – you two will get on like a house on fire.”

Married At First Sight’sLauren Dunn has been doing the rounds on the Perth party scene since filming wrapped, and, apparently, hanging out with her very recent ex.
Lauren sensationally dumped her MAFS husband Jonathan McCullough at Final Vows after she discovered he was messaging fellow bride Ellie Dix. However, despite not being involved with Jonathan, Lauren may not be single?
One of her pals uploaded a photo of her at The Muster Rodeo & Music Festival In Claremont, Perth on Saturday with the arm of her ex, AFL player Ryan Crowley, around her. Instagram account MAFS.Bachie.Reality quickly sleuthed out the photo and reposted it – and Lauren and her ex look very cosy.
“Lauren was going around introducing him as her ex and appeared quite flirty with one another,” a source told Daily Mail Australia of the couple’s night out together.
How long was Lauren with her ex?
Lauren and Ryan dated for over five years and split in June 2023, with the filming of MAFS 2024 kicking off in approximately July 2023. Lauren told PerthNow that the relationship has “simply run its course”.
Who is Lauren’s ex?
Lauren’s ex is a former AFL player who played for the Dockersfor ten seasons. He won the 2012 Doig medal for being Fremantle’s best and fairest on the field – a football awards event that Lauren has attended with Ryan.
Following his time with the Dockers, Ryan played for Essendon for one season in 2016 and now works as an AFL commentator.
Who is MAFS Jonathan with now?
Lauren and Jonthan’s MAFS marriage got off to a rough start but seemed to pick up traction mid-way through the season. However, that all came crashing down when Tori revealed that Jonathan had been messaging fellow bride Ellie Dix.
Lauren and Jonathan split up at the Final Vows, and the groom went on to pursue a relationship with Ellie. The new couple have since moved in together and are in love.

Stephen K. Amos became the seventh celebrity eliminated from I’m a Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here 2024; and for the comedian who has spent his career building an on-stage persona, the Jungle unexpectedly became a place where he could truly be himself.
During a particularly poignant episode, Stephen revealed that his mother had never truly accepted his sexuality until she was on her deathbed.
Now, speaking to Chattr after his April 17 elimination, Stephen admitted that he “never in a million years” thought he would share such personal information on National television.
“I’m a man of a certain age and I’ve never said these things in an interview,” he said, adding he’d never said it on any TV program either.
“It was just that the moment was right,” he said. “It was a safe space. There were people that were respectful and who asked me questions and I knew they were just going to listen.”
He continued: “I would implore any of us if you can, find a moment where you can just pull back, strip away everything and go away for a retreat somewhere…and just have time for yourself. That is what this experience gave to me.”
Even though he’s had decades of on-stage experience, the seasoned performer had never been in a position to do reality TV — and when I’m a Celebrity came calling, he realised he’d have to drop his facade.
“When you go into a situation where there are 12 people and different personalities, you have a choice — either present yourself as who you are, and see it through, or develop a character that you want other people to see.
“But can you maintain that? I knew I couldn’t because that’s not what I do. And to be able to be free, I knew that I wasn’t going to be judged by my fellow campmates.
“If anything, they encouraged me to get my legs out, to get my arms out, to embrace my body, to embrace the fact that I hadn’t been taught how to swim.”
Stephen K. Amos reveals why he never learned to swim
One of the more enchanting moments of the 56-year-old’s experience in the Jungle was when he promised himself that he’d swim to the waterfall and back by the time he’d left camp.
Then, taught by Paralympian swimmer Ellie Cole and cheered on by celebrity chef Khanh Ong, he achieved the goal, becoming one of the most heartwarming moments of the series.
“It was like everything was aligned,” he said. “I had no desire, no reason to learn how to swim. But when you’ve got someone like Ellie in your camp, you’d be a fool not to.”
Stephen also revealed his irrational “fear of the great expanse that is the sea”, saying he “may have died on the Titanic” in a previous life…or maybe it was because he’d always lived in the inner city of London.
“The only time we had swimming lessons was when I was in primary school, when we went to the local spring baths, to have some lessons…It was never a priority. So for me, I didn’t bother with them. And then I developed a fear.”
Of course, swimming wasn’t the only lesson Stephen learned on I’m a Celebrity, pointing to the bevy of incredible moments.
“For me, the best part of being in the jungle was being vulnerable and honest,” he said. “It was to be heard and to listen to others.”
WatchI’m a Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here from Sunday – Thursday at 7.30 pm on 10 and 10Play.
Married at First Sight 2024 Eden Harper has confirmed that she and Jayden Eynaud have broken up and it seems it wasn’t mutual.
Taking to Instagram, Eden revealed that she had “long-term intentions”; however, the pairing came to “an unexpected end”.
“When I made the decision at final vows to be with Jayden, I really did that with longterm intentions,” she penned the post accompanying a carousel of images. “Jayden & I spent many months together after the experiment, during which Cub gained a dad and I gained a second family who I’m truly grateful for. [sic]”
Eden further shared that “toward the end of the show airing”, their relationship suddenly ended.
“The ‘reality’ is, the person I chose didn’t choose me. Whilst I’m disappointed, I will never regret the experiment, the people I met, the lessons I learnt and the growth this process has had on me. [sic]
“Thank you for supporting us and for also wishing for the same fairytale that I had hoped for.”
Jayden speaks out about the break up
An hour later, Jayden took to Instagram to share the news.
“Sometimes in life, things don’t always go the way you had hoped for. After the experiment, Eden and I went back to the Gold Coast and continued to enjoy living our lives together and getting to know each other every day [sic],” he said.
“However, 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 🐶 You will both always have a second family on the Gold Coast ❤️”
The Circle 2024 is keeping up with modern times by including an AI Bot among the cast on season six.
Of course, because it’s The Circle none of the other cast members will actually know what’s behind each screen, meaning they’ll think that the chatbot is an actual person.
The rest of The Circle 2024 cast is made up of humans who come from all over America. Among them is a proud dog dad, a Southern belle and a former NBA dancer.
As the premise of The Circle goes, each castmate will be locked in their own room and will communicate with the rest of the group simply by chatting in text messages attached to a profile picture.
However, the catch is that the contestants don’t necessarily have to be the person that they’re representing on the Netflix show. For example, a mid-20s female model could pretend to be a 50-year-old man who’s a scientist.
Throughout the show, the cast mates will rank their competitors from highest to lowest, based on their personal preference – general cast mates try to eliminate Catfish (those who aren’t who they say they are).
The rankings determine who gets blocked from the game, and, ultimately, who wins the grand prize of USD $100,000.
Meet the cast who make up The Circle 2024.
AI Bot Max
Age: 26
Location: Midwest.
About: Max is a chatbot who will be playing as a 26-year-old veterinary intern hailing from the Midwest. Why? Well, as the bot explains, choosing his age was all about being able to “leverage life experience and maturity, while still playing youthful.” His profession “highlights his caring and nurturing side” in order for him to appear “more likable to players.” Holding a dog in his profile picture is also part of the bot’s strategy, as photos with dogs “receive 38% more likes on social media.”
Kyle
Age: 31
Location: Miami
About: “Proud dog dad” Kyle just couldn’t join The Circle solo, so he’s entering the game with his best (furry) friend, Deuce. The married professional basketball player is competitive at heart, saying, “I hate losing more than I like winning.” But to get players off his scent, he’s joining the experiment as an extremely single basketball trainer.
Cassie
Age: 29
Location: Manchester, Kentucky
About: This Southern belle has a history with catfishing, as she caught her ex-husband cheating after making a fake profile. “A fake can point out another fake,” she says. But Cassie is putting the past behind her by joining the game as herself: a newly engaged mother of two who’s ready to expose the competition.
Brandon
Age: 34
Location: Columbus, Ohio
About: As a self-described “adult Cabbage Patch kid,” Brandon is ditching his real-life persona and going full catfish in the game. The nursing assistant will be playing as his friend and colleague Olivia, hoping to combine his “brains and personality” with her “body-ody-ody” to come out on top. “This is my opportunity to be hot because I’ve never gotten to do that before,” he says.
Quori-Tyler
Age: 26
Location: Los Angeles
About: This former NBA dancer is no stranger to making moves — and she won’t be dancing around anyone’s feelings in the chat. Quori-Tyler is coming into The Circle as a secret superfan, who’s watched every single episode multiple times. “I’m here to play the game and be a mastermind at it,” she says. And while she’s all about strategy, a Circle romance isn’t completely off the table for Quori-Tyler, as she says she’s “single as a Pringle.”
Lauren
Age: 26
Location: Philadelphia
About: Lauren is ready to “slay the day” by being 100% herself in The Circle. The former Twitch streamer is comfortable talking to people through a screen — after all, she used to game for up to 10 hours a day. Lauren is open to all kinds of connections in the experiment, as she’s a “naturally flirty” nerd who’s fresh out of a relationship.
Caress
Age: 37
Location: Dallas
About: A motivational speaker, Caress has a natural way with words. But she’s trading in speeches for bars, joining the game as her younger brother Paul, a rapper and singer. “Everybody’s catfishing online, so why not me?” she says. Caress hopes that she’ll be able to harness her sibling’s social media power — he has more than 300,000 followers, while going into the game, she’s barely cracked 3,000.
Myles
Age: 29
Location: Los Angeles
About: Don’t judge Myles (or his alter ego, “Yung Papi Fuego”) by appearances. While he openly embraces his self-described “fuckboy” energy, he’s also an AI engineer who has a knack for strategizing and calling out catfishes. “I’m either a you love or hate me type of guy,” he says. As a “huge flirt,” Myles is hoping the ladies in the game skew toward the former.
Steffi
Age: 35
Location: Redondo Beach, California
About: Charge your crystals and unblock your chakras because Steffi is here to make her mark (along with her emotional support skeleton). The psychic medium and professional astrologer will be using her fine-tuned intuition in the game to outlast the other players. But she isn’t telling anyone about her (super)natural gifts — or that her dead aunt might be giving her tips in the game.
Autumn
Age: 21
Location: Murfreesboro, Tennessee
About: Players be warned: Autumn is used to getting her hands dirty, working outdoors, and wrangling animals as a full-time ranch hand. She’s bringing an “I don’t give a damn” attitude into the game, where she’s competing as her “genuine weird redneck self.” To land herself in the finale, Autumn is planning on building alliances, leveraging her Southern charm, and flexing her flirting skills if need be.
Jordan
Age: 24
Location: Austin, Texas
About: Jordan is heading into The Circle as himself — but with a little bit of a twist. Since he now “gets easily mistaken as a douchebag” online, the photographer is turning back the clock a few years to appear more approachable. “Before I lost weight, everyone saw me as a friendly giant,” he says. But don’t let his “Big J” persona fool you, as Jordan is ready to get messy in the game and spread misinformation to make it to the top.
Every year on I’m A Celebrity Australia it’s the same story; Celebrities smuggle things into camp that aren’t allowed, which are considered ‘contraband’.
Of course, because the campmates are constantly being filmed, they are almost always caught and have to hand over their items to production.
Find out what the celebs had to say about the contraband they smuggled in, and how they did it!
Khanh’s contraband
There’s no doubt that Khanh Ong was the contraband king on I’m A Celebrity 2024. Of course, being a chef Khanh has filled all his hiding places with things like spices and cooking condiments.
“I had coffee, I had hot chocolate, I had sugar, salt and milk powder. I had protein powders, I had pre-workout, I had spice mixes, I had electrolytes, BCAAs and there was just so much chocolate,” he laughed.
“There were lollies as well. We had nuts, I had so many different types of nuts, throughout the day I’d just drop nuts into people’s hands. When I was cooking, I was like putting spices in things just to make things more tasty,” he added.
However, when producers told the campmates that they had to get rid of all the contraband that they’d snuck into camp, Khanh fully obliged.
“But when the contraband had to be taken off, I literally just threw everything out, I was just like guys just eat what you can, I just need to put the hair dye back into my hair so that Australia doesn’t know that i don’t naturally have pink hair.”
Candice’s contraband
Candice Warner may have come for Skye Wheatley in another iconic I’m A Celebrity fight over lipstick *cough* Kerry Anne Kennerly *cough*, but she actually smuggled in some contraband herself.
During an interview with Chattr, Candice revealed that she bought in some lollies, and one campmate caught her in the act of eating them.
“I put it in my pocket, actually, it was a bag of snakes,” she revealed.
“The hardest thing was that when you open a bag of Allen’s Snakes it’s loud. It was a struggle each time I put my hand in my bag,” she laughed.
“Stephen was sleeping near me and he saw them. So, what I ended up doing every night before we’d go to bed, I would give him a snake and I’d have a snake and we’d sort of chew on that as we went to sleep. And that was our thing until the packet ran out.”
A pack of Allen’s snakes has a good amount of lollies inside, and if Candice and Stephen were only snacking on one a day, one would think they’d last until the finale. However, Candice admitted that she’d sneak a few more when people weren’t looking.
“I gave him one at night but I was having a few throughout the day. There was no caffeine [at camp], there was nothing but it’s all really fun. And some people were fabulous with what they brought in and it’s all in good spirits.”
Denise Drysdale’s contraband
Denise Drysdale broke the cardinal I’m A Celebrity contraband rule when she entered the camp, but it was with the best intentions in mind. The veteran TV personality hit the jungle with a bra full of Werther’s Original lollies.
“I had them in at four o’clock in the afternoon, and I didn’t go into camp too early, it was so uncomfortable they were sticking to me,” she said.
“And then the worst of it was I took them in for everyone and then they found I had contraband and they took them off me.”
“I wanted them so that when I was really down and out, or everybody was, I could go around and give them out and they all went after half an hour. I had that and some Tiger Balm ointment.”
As viewers saw, Denise didn’t only take in contraband in the form of the balm and treats, but she also packed her medicine bag full of necessities.
“You should have seen my medicine case. I catered for everything. Anything that happened I was reading for but the Metamucil, can I just say, didn’t work.”

Former Married At First Sight participant Matt Ridley has found his happy ending with the news that he’s engaged to school teacher girlfriend, Dominique Nielsen.
Matt Ridley was paired with Kate Laidlaw on season nine of MAFS, which aired in 2022. The couple (obviously) didn’t work out, and Matt met Dominique in September 2022, five months after his MAFSseason finished airing.
The former MAFS groom shared the big news on Instagram.
“She said yes 💍 I’m the luckiest man in the world to have met you and fallen deeply in love with you. You are my world and I cannot wait to marry you,” he wrote.
Matt popped the question in March 2024 on Noosa’s Little Cove Beach while the couple were on holiday.
“I knew that if we were going to get engaged that was going to be the spot,” he told 9Now.
“So I organised some accommodation and she was incredibly surprised… she started crying and she immediately said yes with a big smile.”
“So I organised some accommodation and she was incredibly surprised… she started crying and she immediately said yes with a big smile.”
Matt proposed with a 14K rose and white gold diamond ring from Simon Curwood Jewellers.
“I got it to match Dom – to match Dom’s smile and her excitement,” Matt told the publication.
Matt’s journey to have a family
During his time on Married At First Sight, Matt shared the heartbreaking IVF journey he’d been on with his ex.
His now-fiance Dominique has a 10-year-old son named Heath, who Matt now calls the family he “always yearned for”. Matt ensured that Heath was there for the proposal.
“I wanted him to be the first to congratulate us with the big hug and he did, so that made it a bit more special knowing he was there to see something incredible between his mum and his stepdad,” he explained.
