“People might judge us”: The beautiful reason Hannah and Jonny left their twins for Dream Home

by Danica Baker

Dream Home’s Hannah and Jonny are parents to beautiful 10-month-old twins Goldie and Theodore. Of course, taking part in a reality show means time away from their babies, but the couple revealed that the twins played a huge part in why they decided to go on the TV show.

During an interview with Chattr ahead of the premiere, Jonny said that while people may question their decision to leave their twins, they made the sacrifice for their kid’s benefit.

“We sacrificed not seeing our twins for a few months, which people might judge us on,” Jonny said.

Hannah explained that taking part in the show meant that they would leave with a completely renovated house, which the twins would enjoy for decades to come.

“The thing we reminded ourselves of every day that we’re on the show was, we are doing something in a short amount of time, that would have taken 20 years for us to do ourselves.

“Let’s be honest, it’s six months,” she added. “They’re not gonna remember the time we were away, but they will remember the house that they grew up in, and they can have their friends come over too, and we’ve got room to grow. So the benefit definitely outweighs the sacrifice.”

The milestones Jonny and Hannah missed while they were filming Dream Home

The couple stressed how hard it was being away from their babies, but Hannah explained that while on the show she would try and “compartmentalize” in order to deal with missing them.

“I had to just accept that they’re with their grandmothers, they’re loved, they’re fed, they’re cared for, and that they’re that I’m gonna miss them more than they’re missing me. That’s literally the only way you can get through every day,” she said.

Jonny added that he struggled with missing his daughter Goldie’s first steps.

“The hardest point for me was at the end, it was literally the day that Goldie took her first steps that it really kicked in how much I had missed,” he said.

However, he added that pre-renovation, the house was a challenge to live in.

“We literally bought the worst house in the best area that we could afford,” he explained. But post renovation, will their house be the best in the suburb –or even – the competition?

Dream Home premieres at  7.00pm on Sunday, 26 May on Channel 7 and 7plus.

Everything you need to know about the new heart-warming reality show Dream Home

by Danica Baker

The concept behind Dream Home makes it one of the most wholesome reality TV shows to ever grace Australian screens.

The new series sees six pairs of everyday Aussies have their houses renovated by their teammates – whose houses they also renovate.

Hosted by Dr Chris Brown, Dream Home will feature some of the biggest and best life-changing renovations Australia has ever seen.

Here’s everything we know about Dream Home.

Dr Chris Brown and Judge Rosie Morley. Seven.

What’s it about?

The six teams of Aussies work their way through renovating every one of their team mate’s houses around Australia. Each room that the teams renovate is given a score by the judges, and the team with the highest points at the end receives a cash prize of $100,000 to help with their mortgage.

That means that every single team – at very least – get to walk away with their own home completely renovated.

MAFS’ Eden reveals exactly why Jayden dumped her, and it involved sharing a bed

by Danica Baker

Married At First Sight’s Jayden and Eden were one of the 2024 golden couples until they abruptly split shortly after the finale aired.

Fans were shocked about their break up, and, turns out, Eden was too.

During a candid interview on Dom Calarco and Ella Ding’s Sit With Us podcast, the recruitment manager shared one of the bizarre reasons that Jayden broke up with her.

Jayden didn’t want to share a bed with Eden

Eden told the hosts that she and Jayden struggled to settle into life outside of the experiment together.

“There were a couple of things about the relationship that were different to what I’m used to,” she said.

She added that Jayden, who’s a professional kickboxer, was “very strict with his sport and training”.

“So much to a point where he won’t share a bed at night so he likes to be able to stretch and recover,” she said.

Eden and Jayden

“That for me was a big deal breaker almost because I’m like, I need to be able to share a bed with a partner.

“Bedtime, he didn’t want to stay with me and that was really concerning,” she continued.

Eden said that she made her feelings about sleeping together known, and Jayden agreed to stay with her once a week.

“Eventually one of the nights where he came to stay, he said, ‘I can’t do this. I feel like I can’t meet your expectations.”

“I was just really confused… because the only thing I’d ever ask him was for a sleepover once a week,” she said through tears.

Eden tried to get back together with Jayden

Eden said that she and Jayden caught up a few days after the breakup, and she tried to get back together with him, however, he wasn’t receptive to it.

“He made his decision, he didn’t really want to have the conversation to be honest. I was holding on to hope that he would realise he was making the wrong decision.”

“I just think I wasn’t what he wanted and that’s the bottom line and I just really have to accept that,” she said.

FWAW’s Joe has done a full-blown interview confirming whether he’s still dating Sarah

by Danica Baker

Although the FWAW cast isn’t meant to reveal their relationship status until after the Reunion airs, Farmer Joe has gone ahead and blatantly confirmed whether he’s still with Sarah.

“Sarah and I are still together,” he flat-out confirmed to the Canberra Times.

“There’s been a bit of a backlash, a lot of media saying that we’re not and all the rest of it.

“We’ve definitely had our ups and downs, we’ve had trials and tribulations, like anyone else. I think it’s been exacerbated by the whole experience which we had to go through.”

Sarah was upset by the backlash around Joe choosing her

The Farmer Wants a Wife finale was a nailbiter, with fans unsure about whether Joe would pick Sarah or Keely.

Unfortunately for Keely, Farmer Joe let the fan-favourite down, and told her that the time wasn’t right for them. After Keely graciously exited FWAW, the screen panned back to Joe and Sarah and the Farmer told his potentially future wife that he wanted to start a future with her.

A lot of fans on social media were unhappy about Joe’s choice, and they made their thoughts known online. In the interview, Joe said that the feedback he and Sarah had been receiving was discouraging.

Joe and Keely. Seven.

“It’s pretty upsetting for us both,” he said.

“The way last night went, it made a lot of people feel as though maybe I should have chosen differently. And that’s hard as well. Watching it and how it unfolds isn’t exactly how it felt throughout the whole experience and time we spent together.

“I feel really sorry for Sarah, she’s been copping it a fair bit,” he continued.

“It’s funny, people want you to go on these shows to find love and to find happiness and be in a partnership and when you do, everyone just wants to turn against you and say, ‘It’s fake’ or ‘You shouldn’t have done that, you should have chosen someone else’ and try to ruin it.”

Joe stands up for Sarah

During the finale, Sarah got upset after Joe wouldn’t confirm to her best friend that he was choosing her. The scene-in-question drew criticism from viewers on social media with many pointing out that Joe wouldn’t be able to answer that question, given that he still had two Ladies left.

Joe openly spoke out about the negative comments that had been made about her and said that they were unfair.

“Everyone said Sarah ‘looked uphappy’ and she ‘always looks cranky’. Sarah is one of the funnest [people],” Joe said.

“Yes, she’s a bit of an introvert – but she’s happy, she’s outgoing. She’s a really nice person. She loves music and being outdoors and things like that and everyone is saying she looks like she’s cranky all the time. It’s all perception and it’s being truly unfair on her.”

“Heavily discouraged”: Only one FWAW Farmer stayed in touch with his eliminated Ladies

by Danica Baker

All of the Farmer Wants a Wife Farmers have made their picks, so what happens to the eliminated Ladies – in particular, the runners-ups?

Well, according to an anonymous source, they’re practically shoved out in the cold and the Farmers are instructed by producers not to contact them.

“The farmers are heavily discouraged by Channel Seven producers to talk to the other finalists ever again,” an insider told Yahoo Lifestyle Australia.

“The cold shoulder from each farmer is brutal and many of the girls are left wondering where it all went wrong, especially the girls who make it to the final two!”

Anna was left confused after Farmer Dustin chose Sophie

Of course, one of the most heartbreaking scenes this year was when Farmer Dustin told Anna that she wasn’t the one for him.

Dustin chose Sophie, and Anna broke down in tears in a producer-led interview shortly after. And, the source revealed that she’s still blindsided by the decision.

“When you saw Farmer Dustin say goodbye to Anna that was the last she ever heard from him, which would surprise audiences.”

“The girls at each farm are mostly still friends but nothing was ever said to Anna,” they continued.

“I think she would like an explanation of when his feelings changed to Sophie. You give up your life for nearly three months and the heightened reality of filming a TV show does make things feel more real, when they might not have been.”

“Other girls have explained that it would have been nice to encourage the men to give more of an explanation, as most of them leave questioning the whole process. It is unfair.”

Farmer Bert reached out to one particular eliminated Lady

If you’ve been keeping up with the FWAW goss, you’ll know that rumours are rife that Farmer Bert and Lauren, who walked out of the show part way through, struck up a relationship post-filming.

Lauren and Bert from FWAW

Lauren’s since denied that they’re together. However, the rumour mill is still ticking and fans aren’t convinced.

The insider has added more fuel to the flame, claiming that Farmer Bert and Lauren can very well be a thing.

“Farmer Bert was pretty much the only farmer to check back in with his girls and that was something he was told not to do,” the insider adds. “I’d say much like Farmer Benjamin in 2022, the story for Farmer Bert is not over. The fans are watching his Instagram hoping to see what is really going on with Lauren.”

“Farmer Benjamin is still with Hannah [one of the girls from his farm] after leaving the competition for health reasons. He took his love story into his own hands and that will be the advice he would have given Farmer Bert.”

Call Me Country: Beyoncé & Nashville’s Renaissance is the groundbreaking doco you need to see

by Danica Baker

Beyonce’s impact on pop culture is plainly obvious – but it’s highlighted differently in the new documentary Call Me Country: Beyoncé & Nashville’s Renaissance.

The doco zeros in on the perceptions of race and gender in the country music industry. Beyonce’s new album Cowboy Carter was released on 29 March and arrived during a revolution within country music as the latest arena of the culture wars in America.

Call Me Country: Beyoncé & Nashville’s Renaissance explores just that, and the long history of Black country artists working in Nashville.

Official Synopsis

Beyoncé’s highly anticipated album Cowboy Carter arrived during a revolution within country music as the latest arena of the culture wars in America. Some in the industry are welcoming more diverse artists, while others stick to a much narrower view of a genre that predominantly centres around straight, white men. 

The documentary examines the impact of how high-profile artists like Lil Nas X and Beyoncé are challenging the country music status quo and how Black artists in Nashville have been laying the foundation for this transformation for some time.

Meet the cast of Dream Home, where all the contestants are winners

by Danica Baker

Unlike most competition shows, all of the cast members on Dream Home will be winners – as they will all have their existing homes renovated.

The brand-new series is hosted by Dr Chris Brown and will feature some of the biggest and best life-changing renovations Australia has ever seen.

“In real estate terms, my own skills are a renovator’s delight, in need of a serious makeover,” confesses Dr Chris. “I’ve somehow lived through two renovations and seen both of them blow out on time and budget; mostly because of my questionable decisions.

“I genuinely feel like I can relate to what our couples are experiencing – possibly more than they’ll ever know.”

Over the course of the season, six teams of everyday Aussies will renovate their teammate’s homes. The teams will accumulate points for their room renovations along the way, and the top winning couple will also receive a cash prize of $100,000 to help with their mortgage.

The team’s room renos will be judged by a trio of expert judges – Lana Taylor of Three Birds Renovations, top buyer’s agent Simon Cohen and award-winning interior designer Rosie Morley.

From group chats to cook-ups: MasterChef’s Snezana reveals the cast’s close off-screen bonds

by Danica Baker

It’s clear that the MasterChef Australia 2024 cast is a close-knit group, and Snezana has revealed how their friendships blossomed when the cameras weren’t rolling.

During a post-elimination interview with Chattr, Snezana gushed about her time on MasterChef, calling it “one of the best experiences” she’s ever had. And, the Serbian cook listed the strong bonds she built with the other contestants as something she’s eternally grateful for.

“Every time I watched MasterChef previously, I always thought, ‘Oh my god, they’re all so super supportive and it’s a competition. How’s that possible?'” She laughed.

“But, I’m honestly overwhelmed. This range of 21 people, absolutely amazing people,” she said. “I’m 100% sure I will stay friends with all of them, and I will see them and we’ll do things together.”

The cast has a group chat which blows up when the show’s on

Though Snezana may be gone from our screens, she’s still part of the show in her own way. The financial executive revealed that the entire cast is in a group chat, which blows up with messages as they watch the show together each time it’s on.

“We even have a group chat that doesn’t stop ever, ever ever,” she laughed.

And who’s the most talkative in the chat?

“It’s definitely Gill! She’s fun, and she always comes up with funny pictures of all of us, like what would we think, and what would we say. Then she would cut out someone’s head, and put it on somewhere else. Funny things like that.”‘

The MasterChef Australia 2024 cast. Instagram.

The cast cooked together when they weren’t filming

Night after night, the MasterChef Australia 2024 cast whips up absolutely delicious dishes, but those creations are sent straight to the judges.

However, the contestants still get a chance to taste each other’s cooking, because they whip up meals together after filming for the day wraps.

“Not in the [MasterChef] kitchen,” Snezana explains. “Because everything happens so quick. You cook, cook, cook, cook, time’s up, and we stand at our benches, so we don’t really try each other’s food. It goes straight in for tasting while it’s still hot.”

“But we do share accommodation, obviously we are in the same accommodation, and after the day finishes, we all make dinners together,” she said.

Snezana said that she was blown away by Sumeet’s cooking back at the accommodation quarters.

“She is such a well-rounded cook. She can cook it all, from curries and stews to pastries, to sweets, and beautiful soup. She cooked proteins well and everything she cooks is a flavour bomb!”

“Boycotting”: Twitter fans aren’t happy about Farmer Joe’s Final Pick on FWAW 2024

by Danica Baker

Farmer Wants a Wife Final Decision 2 was an absolute doozy; it saw Farmer Joe pick Sarah over Keely in an absolutely nail-biting series of events.

Sarah was actually the first one to step out of the car at the final ceremony, which is traditionally linked to being sent home first so that the lead can have a happy moment with the winner after.

However, the tricky producers over at Channel Seven messed with viewers’ heads by pausing Joe’s speech to Sarah at a cliffhanger moment and bringing in Keely.

FWAW SERIES 14 – EVENT 5 FARMER JOE THURSDAY 7th DECEMBER SHOOT DAY 080

It was then that Farmer Joe let fan-favourite Keely down, and told her that the time wasn’t right for them. After Keely graciously exited FWAW, the screen panned back to Joe and Sarah and the Farmer told his potentially future wife that he wanted to start a future with her.

While the final scene between Joe and Sarah was certainly sweet, the couple have a disagreement during the episode that saw Sarah get mad at Joe because he wouldn’t indicate that she was his final choice.

Meanwhile, Keely and Joe’s family date went swimmingly, and she gifted him a thoughtful drawing.

The events of the episode – paired with Keely’s bubbly personality that’s shined throughout the season – left some fans devastated that she wasn’t the Final Pick, and they weren’t shy about voicing their opinion on the matter on Twitter.

Farmer Wants a Wife 2024 has a bevvy of lovely Ladies, all hoping to be the final pick of this year’s Farmers; however, as with all competitions, some must sadly leave.

This year’s Farmers, Farmer Bert, 30, Farmer Joe, 33, Farmer Dustin, 26, Farmer Dean, 25, and Farmer Tom, 22, are all looking for a special woman to settle down with, dating their chosen picks until they make their final choice.

During the time on the show, the women will head off on dates with the farmers to test their compatibility. They also compete in farm-based challenges to help give the men some insight as to whether the women are ready to slot into life on the farm.

“I am just absolutely blown away by how accomplished, dynamic and brave these women are, who applied on this on the show. We get 1000s of applications.

“There are so many women that want to marry a Farmer and move to the country. It just blows my mind.”

Of course, the men will send the Ladies packing until they are left with just one.

Get ready for Farmer Wants a Wife’s Jess and Andrew’s gorgeous wedding!

by Danica Baker

Farmer Wants A Wife favourites Jess Nathan and Andrew Guthrie have checked off some massive relationship goals since their time on the show in 2017.

Over the past few years, the lovebirds have bought a house, gotten engaged, and most recently, tied the knot in March 2024.

The couple, who met on the 2021 season of FWAW, posted an adorable video from their honeymoon, which confirmed to followers and fans that they’d gotten married.

“Mr and Mrs Guthrie honeymooning hard 🤍,” Jess and Andrew captioned a joint Instagram post that showed them walking along the beach together.

And, there’s a reason the couple haven’t shared any footage from their actual wedding day – it will be shown after the Farmer Wants a Wife 2024 finale, which airs on May 21 at 7:30pm on Channel Seven.

Andrew and Jess’s FWAW journey

Andrew and Jess met on season 11 of Farmer Wants a Wife. In the finale, Andrew professed his love to Jess, however, the couple later revealed that they tried to leave the show early.

“Andrew knew he was going to pick me, so we went to the producers and told them we’d fallen in love and wanted to leave, but they said no,” Jess said in an interview with Confidential.

She added that producers tried to downplay the intensity of their relationship so that the ending wouldn’t be spoiled for viewers.

“They would make sure the other girls won challenges. Whenever I was with Andrew, they only let me talk about why I wouldn’t move to the farm straight away.”

“We had a solid love story and they have spun it the other way,” Andrew added.

Jess’s Hen’s party

In February, Jess shared a collection of photos from her hen’s party on Instagram. The theme was ‘Glitter in the Grass’, and she and her friends celebrated by the pool wearing beautiful bright colours at a remote property.

“Still obsessing over this day and these ladies and that hunk at the end I’m marrying,” Jess captioned the pics, referring to a cardboard cut out of Andrew.

Jess’s wedding dress

Though the couple didn’t share any content from their wedding day, Jess did reveal some details about her wedding dress.

Weeks before her wedding Jess shared a photo of her wearing white and holding a bridal dress concealed in a bag.

“Not long now until I wear the dress of my dreams and marry the man of my dreams 🤍 @janehillbridal I cannot thank you enough. Best in the business 🫶,” she captioned the pic.

Dean broke the news to Bella and Tiffany that he wasn’t interested in them and professed his love to Teegan. Teegan was delighted by the news and told Dean that she was “falling in love” with him.

Farmer Tom was the next to leave after he and Sarah found love with one another.

Farmer Bert’s exit was a shocker, as he informed his Ladies, Caitlin, Karli and Brooke, that he would be leaving the show alone.

Meanwhile, the Final Decision 2 saw Dustin pick Sophie and Farmer Todd pick Daisy.

“Stressful cook”: Masterchef’s Juan reveals the behind-the-scenes problem that led to his elimination

by Danica Baker

Hearts collectively broke across the nation when fan-favourite Juan De La Cruz was eliminated from MasterChef.

While it was obvious that he struggled with his given ingredient; salted soy beans, Juan revealed that the pulse caused an issue behind the scenes which set him back a lot.

During an interview with Chattr, he admitted that he spent a large amount of his cooking time just trying to figure out what dish to make.

“You have those split seconds to basically think of an idea, put it together and then think of a whole shopping list in your head because you have to run to that pantry and pick up all the ingredients,” he said.

“I got into that pantry and I couldn’t find ingredients because I didn’t know what I was looking for. So I think this cook for me was totally different from the rest.”

“The others I was sure of my dish, I would run and just go ‘I know where the meat is ‘the cheese is here and I’d be sorted out in about five minutes,” the board game designer added. “This time it took me 15 minutes just to find the ingredients.”

Juan added that he regretted not paying more attention to the judge’s advice.

“Yesterday was such a stressful cook because I think I didn’t properly pay attention to the brief,” he said.

Juan on his emotional elimination

Juan’s elimination was one of the most emotional moments of the MasterChef season so far. His Chicken Empanadas saw him in the bottom two with Stephen.

The Argentinian cook explained the raw reality of realising that he would no longer be competing on MasterChef Australia.

“It’s that second when the bubble explodes and you realize it’s over,” he said.

“And I looked around and I had one of my best friends Stephen next to me, and I didn’t want him to go either it was like, ‘Wow, it’s between him or me.’

“So I was sad anyway, because staying would mean that he was going and going means I’m going! I didn’t want to cry. But I’m extremely emotional. You can see me super happy, but I get sad. I’m so thankful and it’s been such a lovely experience I didn’t want it to end.”

Farmer Wants a Wife’s Lauren breaks her silence about whether she’s dating Farmer Bert IRL

by Danica Baker

Since Farmer Bert’s sudden departure from Farmer Wants a Wife, rumours have been swirling that he’s dating Lauren, one of his former contestants who self-eliminated.

Now, the behaviour support practitioner has taken to Instagram and broken her silence about whether she and Bert got together outside of the show.

“Just wanted to make a quick announcement for those that are invested in FWAW,” she began.

“Of course, I left the show of my own accord in April, but rumours have been swirling that Bert and I are a couple.”

Unfortunately for fans hoping that Bert found his happy ending with Lauren, she confirmed that they weren’t together – however, she did say that they are still in contact.

“I know this will be disappointing for some to hear, but we are not together. Though Bert and I still talk and are friends, we have not seen each other since I left the farm that night,” she revealed.

“I am still very much single, knowing that my person is out there”

What were the rumours about Farmer Bert and Lauren?

Just days before Farmer Bert’s exit aired, a source told Yahoo Lifestyle Australia that the Farmer would be walking out, and added that he was dating Lauren.

“The show was filmed late last year and while viewers will have their own ideas on who he might have genuinely liked they will be surprised to know he has been romancing one girl who had already left,” the insider said.

Bert and Lauren. Seven.

They added that Bert was “strong-armed into letting her go [by producers].”

“Farmer Bert is a good guy, and he will have no problems finding someone once the show finishes,” a close friend told the publication. “But he has gotten closer to Lauren and they have been keeping things quiet. I’d say he was fed up with production, and knew he made a mistake letting her leave and was waiting to reconnect.

Dom and Ella are in hot water again after releasing a new controversial podcast with MAFS’ Jono and Ellie

by Danica Baker

Rather than addressing their controversial podcast with MAFS’ Jack Dunkley, Dom Calarco and Ella Ding have released a new episode with Jono McCullough and Ellie Dix.

Dom and Ella faced criticism from fans – and Abbie Chatfield – over their podcast Sit With Us with Jack where they addressed Jack’s “muzzle” comment which was aimed at Lauren Dunn. The hosts came to the conclusion that he was “pushed” to make the comment.

Now, they’ve seen to take another swipe at Lauren, by having Jono and Ellie on the podcast who were more than happy to talk badly of her.

ICYMI, Lauren was married to Jono on MAFS, and he ended up dating their co-star Ellie.

What did Ella, Dom, Jono and Ellie say about Lauren?

Jono and Ellie have previously said that they don’t feel guilt over their relationship and accused Lauren of faking her feelings for her on-screen husband.

During the interview with Dom and Ella, they doubled down on the “pact” that Lauren and Jono had to fake their relationship until the end.

Upon hearing the (not-so-new) revelation, Dom commented that Lauren should go on “Home and Away or something”.

Jono also said that he and Tim Calwell were just  “trying to make it through” the experiment while dating “really strong, slightly aggressive” women.

Dom added that she thinks Lauren and Sara Mesa would see the truth coming out in interviews and feel “stupid as hell”.

Fans react to Ella and Dom’s new podcast

Some fans aren’t happy that Lauren has come under fire once again in Dom and Ella’s podcast.

“What’s on the clipboard Dom? ‘Sledge Laura [Lauren] because we’re so obviously threatened by her it’s embarrassing’?” One person commented.

A second penned: “Women that don’t empower women 🤢 .”

A third commented: “You girls are deflecting in the interview pretty hard! I can completely understand why Lauren would have blocked you! You’ve got everyone else’s opinion but hers. You don’t even know her, or have tried to get to know her.”

“A Pretty Woman moment”: Luke Newton and Nicola Coughlan on their Bridgerton season three glow-up

by Danica Baker

The romantic relationship between Penelope Featherington, played by Nicola Coughlan, and Colin Bridgerton, played by Luke Newton takes centre stage in Bridgerton season three.

Fans of the show will notice that both characters came back with a considerably more elegant style. Speaking to Chattr in April during the Bridgerton in Bowral event, the Netflix stars explained that their dramatic transformation was intentional.

Nicola explained that her costumes played a huge part in her new look.

“You feel like a lot different from what we were wearing. Seasons one and two were quite overdone with big neckties, and I had my crazy yellow dresses,” she said.

Bridgerton. Netflix.

“John Glaser designed season three… and he’s like the driest New Yorker. He’s a genius. I love John so much.”

“But it was amazing because it felt like a Pretty Woman moment [in season three] because in seasons one and two were all these wild dresses and they were fun, but you would see everyone else in these gorgeous dresses and you be like, ‘Oh, I’d really love to wear one of those’.

The Bridgerton actress said she got emotional when she first laid eyes on the gowns she’d be wearing for season three.

“I remember one of the first ones they like just laid fabric on me. It wasn’t a full dress. Yeah, and I got tears in my eyes. It’s a big moment for the character, for the audience and for me.”

Luke wanted to do the change in his character justice

While Nicola’s transformation is largely shown through her outfits, Colin explained that he wanted to make sure his physically look matched the change in his character.

“I really lent into the scripts,” he said. “It wasn’t really something I thought I thought about during season two at all. As soon as I got the [season three] scripts, and saw that he’d had this change and really had grown up and become a man I was like, ‘How can I just match that physically as well as play that within the character emotionally and everything?'”

Bridgerton. Netflix.

“I just wanted to have everything aligned and feel like there was a drastic change when it comes back to town.”

Luke said he revelled in the chance to work closely with other departments in order to fully realise his character.

“It was great to work with all the other departments like hair and makeup and costume to really accentuate that.”

Stream Bridgerton Season 3 from May 16 on Netflix.
