Sara who? Peep the adorable photo of MAFS’ Tim Calwell and his new girlfriend

by Danica Baker

It’s official; Married At First Sight’s Tim Calwell has a new girlfriend, and she’s shared an adorable photo of the couple on Instagram.

Although Sara Mesa and Tim Calwell made it to the MAFS Reunion together, it was clear early on that they didn’t make it as a couple. Back in February, Daily Mail Australia published photos of Tim getting cosy with a brunette named Barbara.

And, it appears that Barbara and Tim are still going strong because she’s posted a loved-up photo of her and Tim on her private Instagram, which a follower shared to a MAFS Facebook fan group.

Why hasn’t Tim shared any photos of Barbara?

Fans may be wondering why Barbara hard launched her relationship with Tim, but the MAFS groom hasn’t posted anything about her on his own Instagram page.

There’s a good reason for that – the MAFS 2024 contestants don’t have access to their own Instagram accounts yet. Their posting privileges were taken away during the show, to avoid any spoilers being posted.

While posts were still uploaded during the show, these posts were submitted by the contestants and approved by the MAFS production team.

In an interview, Eden Harper recently revealed when the participants will get control of their own social media back.

“We don’t have our Instagram back yet,” she told The Pulse with Seany B & Emma G on April 19. “Channel Nine submitted it on my behalf.”

“That’s why the comments are off. Once the comments are back on, that’s when you know we’ve got out accounts back,” she added.

Eden explained that the cast will have to wait until the show finishes airing in the UK to regain control of their accounts. The Reunion Finale is scheduled to air in the UK on April 30, so the crew should be back online any day now.

MasterChef Australia’s Sav joined the cooking competition for a heartbreaking reason

by Danica Baker

Savindri Perera, otherwise known as Sav, is bringing spice to MasterChef Australia 2024 – both with her exceptional cooking and her firey personality.

The Sri Lankan-born cook uses inspiration from her own country, to create dishes that have blown away judges Poh Ling Yeow, Andy Allen, Jean-Christophe Novelli and Sofia Levin.

Here’s everything we know about Sav.

Sav’s personal life

Sav was born in the Sri Lankan capital Colombo and she lived with her older sister Chethanee, her late Mum Chandrika and Dad Chethiya.

Sav moved to Adelaide where she was 18. Now, 30, she works as a banking consultant, and cooks as a hobby.

She sadly lost her mum in 2017, who she cites as her “food hero”, as per 10Play. Sav said that her mum’s passing was “a long road through the many stages of grief” but she feels ready to take on MasterChef to “honour her mother’s memory”.

“Cooking isn’t just the love of my life, but it is also my eulogy to my mother. It has been, for the past three years. It has been my long winded, never ending letter of farewell to her,” Sav wrote on Instagram in a tribute to her late mother.

Sav’s cooking style

Sav describes her cooking style as “rustic, generous and colourful” and she counts “onion, garlic and curry leaves” as some of her favourite ingredients.

She is an expert when it comes to combining flavours – especially those predominantly in Sri Lankan cooking – and won’t shy away from dishes with lots of ingredients. She believes her ability to balance the six tastes will give her an edge, as will her baking expertise.

Sav plans to put to use all the skills she learnt from her mum’s delicious cooking, as well as the culinary traditions she was raised with.

Netflix true crime hit Baby Reindeer triggers unexpected declaration from real-life “Martha”

by Anita Anabel

Netflix’s Baby Reindeer has captivated worldwide audiences with even Richard Gadd’s alleged stalker a.k.a the real Martha now speaking out.

The woman, who decided to remain anonymous for the interview, told the Daily Mail that she is now considering taking legal action for defamation following the series launch and the interest viewers have taken in her.

In case you’ve been living under a rock, the story of Baby Reindeer centres on struggling comedian Donny Dunn’s (Gadd) strange and layered relationship with a woman named Martha (Jessica Gunning), whose initially friendly demeanour unravels as she begins to stalk Donny relentlessly. Over multiple years, she sent him over 41,000 emails, 744 tweets, 100 pages of letters and 350 hours of voicemails.

Richard Gadd and Jessica Gunning, Netflix

Now, in the brand-new interview, the alleged perpetrator feels that Gadd is “using Baby Reindeer” to “stalk” HER.

“I’m the victim,” he told the outlet. “He’s written a bloody show about me.”

According to the interviewee, Gadd is now “bullying an older woman on television for fame and fortune” and despite his attempts to shield her true identity, she has now received “death threats and abuse” from his “supporters.”

Fiona Harvey’s Facebook post

On April 26, a woman named Fiona Harvey penned a post on Facebook (which was public at the time of publication) accusing Gadd of creating the show about her; however, whether the Daily Mail source and Fiona Harvey are linked with one another remains unclear.

 “Richard gadd who is not known to Me wrote a show four or five years ago for the festival fringe called baby reindeer it would appear to be popular on Netflix now among twenty something’s with no brain [sic],” she wrote.

“I do not follow the rantings of richard gadd or failed comedians like him. I have no idea what he’s said apart from A few quotes thrown at me this week by other people He seems to have some fat ugly woman called martha being played by an actres s pretending to be me Again. I do not know this actress. [sic]”

Harvey then claimed that she used to live in Camden (where the series is set) and that she “did know” Gadd was a “jobbing barman” in the Hawley Arms. She also said the bar was a “haven of drink” and that there were “drugs” and “rape allegations against some barmen”.

Jessica Gunning, Netflix

“I’ve had death threats from richard gadd supporters on here this week,” she penned. “I’ve had vile stalking and abusive threats.

“I know nothing about richard gadd apart from His sorry little life story I listened to on a sophie hagan podcast he did with her when baby reindeer came out [sic].

“I am not martha have no criminal Convictions.”

She also said he’d “defame anyone”, called him a “gay man” and claimed that “he did ask me out and stalked me years ago” and that she is “not interested in any aspect of richard gadds life”.

You can read the full passage below.

Fiona Harvey alleges she is the real-life Martha on Facebook. Facebook

Richard Gadd speaks out on social media

After interest in the series — and its real-life counterparts — spread like wildfire, Gadd himself took to his Instagram Stories to ask fans to stop speculating.

“People I love, have worked with, and admire (including Sean Foley) are unfairly getting caught up in speculation,” he wrote. “Please don’t speculate on who any of the real-life people could be. That’s not the point of our show.”

Meanwhile, Foley also took to X (formerly Twitter) to express that the police had been informed and were “investigating all defamatory abusive and threatening posts” against him.

“It could’ve been fatal”: The Bachelor’s Anna Heinrich reveals her traumatic birth experience

by Danica Baker

The Bachelor Australia’s Tim Robards and Anna Heinrich welcomed their adorable second child in Ruby in March, but the 37-year-old has now revealed that her birth experience was almost deadly.

Anna has revealed that she had complications during Ruby’s birth, which saw her lose a significant amount of blood.

“With my first child Elle I had a C-section and we later found out that she had the umbilical cord wrapped around her neck twice,” Anna told Daily Telegraph.

“So when it came to my second one, I went in for a caesarean too and I guess I was a little bit cocky … I thought it’s all gonna be fine, it’ll be easy they’ll just bring her out.”

Anna said that the birth of Ruby went seemingly smoothly, but shortly after, problems emerged.

“The birth itself was fine and I had Ruby on my chest and I thought everything had gone really well. Then all of a sudden, they said that they thought I was clotting.”

Anna was taken into ICU

Anna told the publication that she was whisked into surgery after the doctors noticed that her bleeding wasn’t stopping.

“I handed Ruby over to my husband and they called the obstetrician back … I could see everyone started to get a little bit worried because I wouldn’t stop bleeding and they didn’t know why,” she said.

“I was told I had to go back in for another surgery which would only take about 40 minutes but instead went for about two hours.”

The mum-of-two stayed in the ICU overnight as a precautionary measure.

“It wasn’t until I came out that we realised how sort of dangerous that was,” she said. “My obstetrician told my husband if I wasn’t at that hospital at that time with the facilities and everything, it could’ve been fatal.”

Anna reflects on the scary experience

Fortunately, Anna and her family are all doing well now, and settling into life back at home. However, she wanted to shared her story as a cautionary tale.

“When you go into childbirth you want to make sure that the child’s okay and all your thoughts are about the child,” she said.

“But no one really thinks about how dangerous it can also be for the mother.”

The business owner admitted that the traumatic experience still affected her.

“I’m trying not to think about the situation too much … but there have been times where you do think what if and it’s something that you can’t dwell on,” she said.

“I’m really lucky I’ve got two beautiful girls now and we’re kind of just now adjusting at home as a family of four.”

“The plan didn’t go to plan”: Lauren Fried gives emotional update a year on from Jock Zonfrillo’s death

by Danica Baker

Jock Zonfrillo’s widow Lauren Fried has shared an emotional video about the loss of her husband almost a year after the MasterChef Australia judge’s death.

Jock passed away on April 30, 2023, a day before MasterChef season 15 was set to air. The season was delayed by a week, and Jock appeared as a judge on it posthumously.

“Next week it will be a year since we lost Jock, I have no idea where that time went,” Lauren said in the video.

“I really did have plans to get a lot more of his projects out but I think that somewhere between trying to find my feet as a solo parent – and just going through long periods of time where I found it really hard to look at videos and photos of Jock – the plan didn’t go to plan,” she added.

Lauren and Jock’s kids are “thriving”

Lauren and Jock share two kids, Alfie, 5, and Isla, 2, and he also has two older daughters, Ava and Sophie, from his first two marriages.

Jock’s widow gave an update about how they’re going since their dad’s death.

“Jock’s legacy sits in his children and his work, and both have given me a lot of purpose in the last year,” she said.

“I’ve been focusing on the kids and they’re going really well, they’re thriving actually and found their new normal. I think we created two extraordinary little people there.”

Jock and Lauren

Lauren’s aim is to share more about Jock

Lauren revealed that she’s hoping to share more of Jock’s videos and recipes with his fans soon.

“I’ve got hundreds and hundreds of hours of Jock cooking his favourite recipes explaining what vinegar or oil he used in different things, things he discovered on our travels, fun behind-the-scenes stuff, interviews, and it’s a part of our life that I want to start sharing with everyone again,” she said.

“I’ll start posting as soon as I can. Please try and treat them as normal, if you have questions about the recipe or method, please just ask, pop it in the comments, and if I can’t answer it, I’ll get one of his chef mates too.

“The purpose of putting it up is for us to enjoy it, enjoy Jock, so I hope you do.”

Not only is it a YUGE accomplishment, but it also marks the first time an Australian has been given the distinction.

The Oscar winner was presented with the accolade on April 18 by none other than industry icon Meryl Streep. Watched on by a room filled with A-listers including Reese Witherspoon, bestie Naomi Watts and her husband Keith Urban, she was humbled by the support.

Joining Keith and Nicole were their two children Sunday Rose, 15 and Faith Margaret, 13, as well as Nicole’s sister Antonia and her husband Craig Marran and niece Sybella Hawley.

Dani Soares and her Below Deck baby celebrated a huge milestone, but where was Jean-Luc?

by Danica Baker

Dani Soares and Jean-Luc Cerza-Lanaux’s baby was one of the biggest scandals to ever happen in Below Deck history.

Now, the mum-of-one has graduated her Registered Nurse degree and she took her daughter Lilly Rose onstage with her.

“It’s only fair that Lilly would go up there with me,” Dani wrote on an Instagram story showing her accepting her degree.

Dani and Jean-Luc were romantically involved in season two of Below Deck Sailing Yacht which aired in 2021.

Shortly after the finale aired, Dani announced on Instagram that she was pregnant. Dani didn’t confirm that Jean Luc was the father at the time, but fans did speculate just that.

“I just don’t think that’s relevant for my situation, that’s all,” Dani told Us in May 2021, explaining why she decided not to name her child’s father. “I understand that people are curious about it, and I understand that I’m on a TV show and everybody wants to know. I just don’t think it’s anybody’s business right now.”

Jean Luc and Dani on Below Deck. Hayu.

When did Jean Luc confirm that he was the father of Lilly Rose?

Nearly eight months after Lilly Rose’s birth announced that he’d done a paternity test and Lilly Rose was his daughter.

“As the year 2021 came to a close. A new year in 2022 begins with high ambitions and positivity. My silence on social media has been intentional and much-needed. I used that time to focus on what was important to me and my mental health,” he began.

Dani and Lilly Rose.

“I can’t let 2022 go any further without sharing some beautiful news. An international DNA test that was done awhile ago was no small feat. I’m happy and proud to say Sweet and beautiful Lilly Rose is my daughter.”

It doesn’t appear that Jean has been a part of Lilly Rose’s life.

Lilly Rose lives in Sydney with Dani now and is turning three this year.

Love Island’s Zac Nunns has accused Lucinda Strafford of cheating and it’s messy as hell

by Danica Baker

Just like their relationship on Love Island Australia, Zac Nunns and Lucinda Strafford’s breakup has been messy, to say the least.

Zac confirmed that he’d split from Lucinda back in February, and it’s been far from amicable. While Lucinda hasn’t said much publicly, apart from saying she’s holding her “head high“, Zac has been hanging his ex out to dry non-stop.

in April, Zac took to the podcast The Zac and Trent Show, which he shares with co-star Trent Woolman, and said that Lucinda was dating someone else while they were still together.

“I picked her up from a party, and she’s like, ‘Zac can you hold onto my phone?'” He said. “Then she gets a text from this unknown number and it’s like ‘Hope you enjoy the rest of your night, talk later x’.”

“I was like, ‘Who the hell is this?’ And I opened it and there were all these messages that she’s been talking to this guy the whole time behind my back,” he said.

Zac’s response to the news Lucinda is dating Nathan Dawe

The drama really picked up when it was reported that Lucinda was dating UK DJ Nathan Dawe on April 16. Zac was clearly butthurt by the news and decided to air out his dirty laundry about Lucinda once again.

He shared a bunch of screenshots claiming that he and Lucinda were still talking two weeks ago.

“We stopped talking about two weeks ago but we were on and off for the whole two months,” Zac said, referring to the period between their break up in February, and April.

He then posted a bizarre floating head dance to screenshots of their texts, which you can see in the video below.

Zac on the cheating texts

Zac decided to continue dwelling on his breakup with Lucinda in a Q&A session on Snapchat. The former Love Island contestant posted a question from a follower who asked how Zac felt when he found the aforementioned messages on his ex’s phone.

“I tried to look past it and wanted to believe it was an honest mistake, but I was wrong,” he replied.

In another post, Zac insulted Lucinda’s career as an influencer and said he doesn’t get it, despite constantly posting on social media and having his own podcast.

“It just wasn’t a good match – I just don’t get the influencer scene hahaha I’m a bit rogue,” he said.

“It’s easy to get caught up in clicks and likes and followers it’s like a drug – and if you have people in the industry telling you that’s what you NEED to do it puts you in a rough spot.”

“So I don’t blame her for it, I forgive her”

MAFS’ expert Mel Schilling gives heartbreaking update about her colon cancer battle

by Danica Baker

Married At First Sight relationship expert Mel Schilling has given a worrisome update about her battle with colon cancer.

On December 21, the 51-year-old revealed that she had the disease, followed by an Instagram post on December 22, saying that the tumour had already been removed by doctors in the UK.

She’s since been undergoing chemotherapy and, on April 23, revealed to UK’s Magic FM that she hasn’t been feeling well.

“I’m feeling a little flat today actually, to be totally honest with you,’ she said.

“I’m going through chemo, I’m on my third cycle now and I’m just starting to feel a bit sick,” she added.

“It sort of feels like being hungover, like I’ve been drinking all night.”

Mel Schilling is determined to win her battle against colon cancer

Mel told the radio hosts that although she’s not feeling great, she’s determined to overcome her health battle.

“I’m just now trying to find the way to juggle everything, because I’m not stopping working. This thing is not beating me, I’m here to fight, I just need to make some adaptions,” she said.

She revealed that she’s trying to ensure that she takes some downtime from work so that her body can focus on recovering and fighting.

MAFS Experts. Nine.

“I love my work, it’s just kind of doing my passion so for me it’s very tempting to just say yes to everything. So, surrounding myself with the right team, making sure I’ve got people there to support me and actually encourage me to say no, if it’s something that’s not really going to be valuable and meaningful for me.

“And just having that time with my gorgeous family and friends.”

by Danica Baker

Robert Irwin’s role as a host on I’m A Celebrity Australia 2024 was a roaring success, and we now know if he’ll be returning next year.

Robert stepped into the shoes of Dr Chris Brown, after he left to a rival network, and hosted the popular reality show alongside Julia Morris.

His gig on the show was very well received by viewers, and it appears that Channel 10 was listening to the good feedback, as they’ve signed him on for another season!

Channel 10 confirms Robert Irwin will return as a host for I’m A Celebrity

Robert position on the show was called into question after Women’s Day published an article claiming that he was moving to Channel Seven. However, Channel 10 have since squashed that rumour.

“What a load of croc!,” the network told Daily Mail Australia in a statement. “We’ve heard a lot of furphys over the past 10 seasons, but media reports about Robert no longer hosting I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! take the cake and are completely fake.”

“We’ve just wrapped an excellent season and can’t wait to do it all again next year,” they added.

“Robert has been an absolute treasure on the show. His wildlife expertise, and genuine charm has resonated well with viewers, and we’re thrilled to have him back.”

“He’s very much a part of the Channel 10 family, and everyone is super happy with how he’s fitting into the lineup. The rumours of him jumping ship are just that – rumours,” they added.

MAFS’ Madeleine was on another unexpected TV show last year, and no, it’s not Home and Away

by Danica Baker

Married At First Sight’s Madeleine Maxwell has been spotted on another Australian TV show, but this time it was a quiz show!

Madeleine is an established actor who’s appeared on Home and Away, Wentworth and Upper Middle Boga. And, she’s recently been spotted on another TV show where she appeared as herself.

The 30-year-old psychic medium competed on Millionaire Hot Seat.

Madeleine on Millionaire Hot Seat

Madeleine appeared in an episode that aired on March 21, 2023 and appeared under the name Maddy Jevic.

Millionaire Hot Seat is a spin-off of Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? where contestants are put on teams of six and take turns answering the questions. If they’re able to answer them correctly, the team can take home up to a million dollars.

Madeleine was asked what the ‘B’ in the government agency BOM stands for. Unfortunately, she didn’t know the answer and decided to skip her question. Madeleine ended up leaving the show empty-handed.

Madeleine’s time on MAFS

Madeleine made up one-half of MAFS shortest-ever marriages, alongside Ash Galati. The couple got ‘married’ as intruders mid-way through the week and left the show just five episodes later.

The pair struggled to hit it off, and Madeleine was clearly unhappy with her match.

Since the show finished airing, the psychic medium has come out and slammed her edit in an interview.

She used a specific scene between her and her on-screen husband Ash Galati as an example. The date took place during the couple’s MAFS honeymoon when they visited a farm for lunch.

Madeleine cried over the fact that the cows would likely be used for food, despite having been shown eating meat for dinner the night before.

Madeleine explained on Yahoo Lifestyle’s Behind The Edit podcast that she had been vegan and vegetarian on and off for the last six to seven years, but was eating meat at the time of the show because of a medication she was on for her skin.

“So the cow scene. There is just a lot of context removed,” she told the publication.  “I was on medication for my skin and I needed healing happening really quickly. So I was eating meat, not red meat, but meat.”

“When I see the cows after what I did the night before, it’s kind of feeding into that guilt and shame I was feeling in the voxxie [producer interview] prior…. watching that back, oh my god, it seems so full on, but you’re unearthing so much about love and what you desire and what you’ve done in the past that may or may not be a good choice or whatever,” she said.

Watch Married at First Sight Sundays at 7.00 pm and Monday – Thursday at 7.30 pm on Nine and 9Now.

Former Home and Away star Orpheus Pledger on the run from police following assault charges

by Danica Baker

Former Home and Away actor Orpheus Pledger has failed to appear at a bail hearing on assault charges.

Orpheus, who played Mason Morgan on the soap from 2016 – 2019, was arrested in relation to an alleged assault on March 27, as per News.com.au.

The thirty-year-old was escorted by police from jail to Royal Melbourne Hospital early in the morning on Tuesday, April 23 to undergo a mental health assessment. A court has heard that Orpheus waited for around five hours, before walking out of the doctor’s practice, which is against his bail conditions.

Orpheus is still missing, and a warrant for his arrest has been issued.

The court heard in a hearing that Melbourne Magistrate Justin Foster had “bent over backwards” to approve the hospital visit.

“I’ll never make an order like that again … (I) bent over backwards to try and offer someone mental health treatment as they require,” he told the court on Tuesday.

Orpheus was arrested after a triple-0 call was made by a woman from a suburban Melbourne home at 1:35am on March 25.

The woman was taken to hospital, and found to have bruising, small lacerations to her cheek, and bruising to her neck, which police alleged indicated strangling.

A 25-second clip was played to Magistrate Justin Foster in court, who said: “It’s reasonably clear that he stomped on (the woman’s) head.”

Pledger’s bail was revoked for his case to be heard again on May 10.

Everything we know about Teegan’s secret boyfriend on FWAW

by Danica Baker

Farmer Wants a Wife 2024 is about to descend into absolute chaos when Farmer Dean receives a text informing him that one of his Ladies has a secret boyfriend at home.

While the previews don’t show which lady Farmer Dean is talking about, we can reveal that it’s his obvious front-runner, Teegan.

During the preview for Sunday’s episode, Dean is shown saying: “I received a message the other day. It says she might be leading you on. She’s in love with at home.”

In Farmer Dean’s first promotion video, the entire clip is played out, which names the Childcare Educator as the mystery woman.

“Teegan, who you are currently filming Farmer Wants a Wife with, has a boyfriend, she’s in love with someone at home,” Dean read out loud from a phone in the trailer.

Who is Teegan?

Teegan is a 23 year old Childcare Educator from NSW.

“I work in child care, I do support work, I play footy, have for eight years, coached this year,” she told Farmer Dean.

She’s confirmed that she’s ready to find someone to start a family with, and her goals align with Farmer Dean’s.

“My ultimate life goal is to be a mum and to have a family. My parents are together and have been together since high school. Having someone for the rest of your life, that’s just what you want,” she told Farmer Dean.

Farmer Dean and Teegan. Seven.
