Gotcha! Everyone who has been eliminated from Hunted Australia so far

by Danica Baker

Hunted Australia 2023 is back for season two and this year, both the Fugitives and Hunters have new tricks up their sleeves.

The premise of the show is that 8 pairs of Fugitives must outrun the Hunters for 21 days, and if they manage to do that then they’ll share a prize pool of a cool $100,000.

However, the Hunters chasing the Fugitives are made up of some of the world’s best investigators formerly from the AFP, ADF, British Intelligence, special ops and private security. Plus, they have world-first technology to help them capture the contestants.

This season’s Fugitives have the edge of watching how the season one contestants were caught and can use this knowledge to their advantage, but the Hunters are in it for a “clean sweep”!

Meet The Block 2023’s Kyle and Leslie, the couple who’ve applied for The Block five times

by Danica Baker

After four failed applications to compete on The Block, married couple Kyle and Leslie have finally been given their chance in 2023.

Persistence paid off when Kyle and Leslie applied for The Block five times and finally made the cut. Luca even said, “One last chance,” and it turned out to be the ticket.

“We’ve applied a few times and waited a long time, so we can’t wait to get started,” Leslie said.

“It’s the ultimate challenge,” she added. “Obviously there is the opportunity of financial reward at the end, but there are the rewards of everything you go through before that.”

This pair met at a nightclub 12 years ago and tied the knot in 2014. They have two kids: Luca, who’s 11, and Archer, 7. At the age of two and a half, Archer was diagnosed with Autism.

Kyle and Leslie have a bit of experience when it comes to home renovation. “We built our house through a building company,” Kyle said. “They left it with the bare bones and we did the rest.”

Kyle, 36 is a firefighter and calls it his dream job. With an affinity for sports, he lists one of his hobbies as winding down after a long day by watching footy at home with his family.

Leslie, 34 is an educational assistant. She moved with her family moved from Zimbabwe to Australia when she was a teenager.

Her vibrant, funny, and engaging personality shines through, and she’s currently pursuing a teaching career. Excited to make new friends and delve into the renovation experience, Leslie exclaims, “After multiple applications and a long wait, we can’t wait to get started!”

Together, Kyle and Leslie lead a phenomenal life and cherish unique experiences like their trip to California in 2018. “We love embarking on adventures together,” Leslie expressed.

Leslie believes that communication is the key to a good relationship and says any disagreements they have are short-lived. “I feel like we can give each other some pretty solid constructive criticism without ruffling up each other’s feathers,” she said.

Meet The Block 2023’s Eliza and Liberty, the only siblings competing this year

by Danica Baker

Eliza and Liberty are the only sibling duo on the year’s season of The Block and the sisters say that they couldn’t be more different from each other.

Despite their contrasting personalities, they say that they complement each other well.

“Even though we’re extremely different, we’ve always worked well together in the past,” Eliza said. “It’ll be the same on The Block.”.

“I’m into health and fitness, and Eliza would rather sleep,” Liberty added.

Experience-wise, the sisters have zero knowledge about renovating or building.

“So if we can do it, anyone can,” Eliza declared. “It’s overwhelming. Despite thriving in our careers and like being on top of our game, we could not be further from it here.”

Despite their lack of experience, they are determined to give their all from day one.

Eliza, 37, works as a personal assistant and having previously worked in the entertainment industry and as a radio producer, she is no stranger to television.

“I’m just going to give it a red-hot crack,” she said.

Her sister Liberty added: “Eliza is not afraid to have very open and honest conversations with people, and I love that.”

Liberty, 34, works as a producer for an advertising company and loves being active and going to the gym. In fact, she was the first person in the world to reach 700 classes in the Body Fit training gym franchise.

The Block came into Liberty and Eliza’s lives at the perfect time. “We are both single, in our mid-thirties, and nothing is holding us back,” Liberty said. “Everything has just aligned.”

Meet The Block 2023’s Leah and Ash, who have recently started their own building company

by Danica Baker

Leah and Ash are both outspoken, confident and outgoing, meaning they’re absolutely perfect for reality TV.

They’re married and have three kids – Austin (8), Marnie (4), and Hugh (2) – and are excited to test out their renovation chops on The Block.

“I’m looking forward to seeing what we are capable of,” Leah said. “We’ve done the process of building renovations many, many times, but this is on a whole new level.”

As one of the more seasoned couples on The Block, Leah and Ash have an extensive history of renovating.

Recently, they bought a rundown Queenslander which they’re currently residing in and renovating. Before starting his own building company with Leah, Ash had a sales background.

“We just launched a new business, have three children, and are halfway through this colossal renovation. So why not do The Block?” Ash explained.

When she’s not busy renovating their place, Leah, 31, works as a first aid trainer. Her style on The Block will be bold and distinctive, sure to turn heads. She aims to create a house with a modern art/deco vibe.

Ash, 38, is a builder, which will give him an upper hand on the show – and probably save the couple a lot of money. Prior to pursuing his dream of starting his own building company, Ash had a sales career and he considers himself very likeable.

“I’m a real bloke’s bloke,” he said. “I feel like I get along with everyone.”

The couple first connected on Tinder back in 2015 when they were both fresh out of relationships.

“I came out of my marriage and Ash came out of his engagement, and we instantly connected,” Leah said.

While Ash takes charge of the building and demolition on-site, Leah will handle the styling, shopping, and budgeting.

Meet The Block 2023’s Kristy and Brett, who could be the show’s spiciest couple ever

by Danica Baker

Blockheads Kristy and Brett have been together for a decade and married for three years.

These two are some of the spiciest contestants the show has ever seen, and they won’t be shying away from the drama on The Block this season.

With their unfiltered opinions and penchant for stirring things up, Kristy and Brett will almost definitely make waves on Charming Street. IRL, they’re known for their structured lifestyles, so they’re looking forward to embracing the unpredictable nature of The Block.

“It’s the unknown that is exciting for us,” shared Kristy. “In our roles back in Adelaide we have done it for so long, and you don’t get out of your comfort zone. But with this, there is such an unknown and we are looking forward to that.”

Experience-wise, the couple already owns a house in Adelaide and have tackled a bathroom renovation together before. Professionally, they thrive in the power and energy industry and expect to bring their expert planning skills to The Block.

Kristy is a Project Manage and proudly admits to being highly competitive, a trait that’s driven her career success and will shine through on the show. Her vision for their house is a beautiful blend of Victorian charm and modern sophistication, and she won’t be standing on the sidelines during the renovation.

“I’m all for getting my hands dirty,” she said while expressing that she’s not afraid to express her opinion. “If I see something that is wrong or someone is being unfair, I will be the first person to speak up.”

Meanwhile, Brett, is a safety advisor at a power substation but has a hidden talent as a tiler – one he plans to keep under wraps on the show.

“I’m a former tiler, but I don’t want to tell people that,” he said. “I want to keep it a surprise.”

Outside of work, Brett has a passion for Brazilian jiu-jitsu, adding an unexpected layer to this couple’s dynamic. Although they may argue from time to time, Kristy and Brett always find a way to patch things up with laughter.

Romantically, their story began in high school, but it wasn’t until their twenties that they found their way back to each other, thanks to mutual friends. Together, they will bring the fire to The Block.

by Danica Baker

History is being made on The Block 2023, with contestant Steph being the first-ever architect to compete in the series. She and her partner, Gian, have also recently renovated their own home, so they’ll undoubtedly be the couple to watch this season.

After first meeting on the school bus in year 7, the childhood sweethearts have been together ever since and in 2022, they got married, celebrating with their friends and family.

Gian, also 27, is currently working in finance at a tech start-up, focusing on driving growth strategies. He is a problem solver and a deep thinker who enjoys running and staying fit.

As a team, Steph and Gian have excellent communication skills, despite having occasional disagreements. They believe that effective communication is the key to their success.

While they may have their bickering moments, they’re confident in their ability to handle harsh judging on the show and call themselves their own harshest critics.

Steph and Gian are a talented, determined duo with a strong foundation of love and collaboration. They’re ready to take on The Block and plan to rely on their design expertise and excellent teamwork.

Loved the book? Here’s how The Lost Flowers of Alice Hart series is different

by Danica Baker

The Lost Flowers of Alice Hart is based on the novel of the same name, but writer, showrunner and executive producer Sarah Lambert has explained how the series takes a different direction from the book.

During an interview with Chattr before the premiere on August 4, Lambert said that the 2018 novel by Australian author Holly Rigland initially “struck” her, but revealed that the TV series isn’t simply a retelling of it.

“When I read the opening lines of it, and this girl sort of sitting at the end of this dusty road imagining setting her father on fire, not because she’s an evil person, but because she just wants things to change,” she said.

“She just wants it to be different… she wants the worst of him to be burned away and she’s looking at all these images of Phoenix’s and she wants that.

The Lost Flowers of Alice Hart. Prime Video.

“What really struck me was how when I read the novel — I mean the novel is very different to where we ended up, like the structure of it is completely different — we leaned into it, but I really wanted to hold on to what I think Holly did so brilliantly. I loved Alice. I related to her.”

How Sarah Lambert used her personal experience as inspiration

Lambert said that she related to the story of The Lost Flowers of Alice Hart on a personal level, and reflected on family trauma she experienced as a child. She explained that she was raised by her mother on her own after she left Lambert’s abusive father.

“There were lots of things in my own life that I related to,” she said. “And then how you can relive it in your adult life… My mum ended up working for DOCS later on in life, and she worked with women’s refuges and children’s programmes. So, she was always I knew everything there was to know about this issue, but you can still go on, and relive that trauma. So there were things [in the story] that I just felt  like, this is my story as much as it is of so many other women that I know.”

Twitter (X?!) users are losing it over the return of Thank God You’re Here Australia

by Danica Baker

The unofficial verdict is in for season five of Thank God You’re Here Australia 2023, and it’s all praise from Twitter (X?!) users.

After a 14-year hiatus, the fan hysteria over the hit show proved to be still going strong.

X users consistently posted about TGYH throughout the entirety of its return last night and almost all of the feedback was positive.

In fact, they couldn’t get enough of Celia Pacquola’s debut on the show and were just generally buzzing about its long-awaited return as a whole.

To celebrate the return of the Logie award-winning improvised comedy show, we’ve popped together some of the best tweets.

https://twitter.com/AdeleKThomas/status/1686705156254253056

Who’s hosting Thank God You’re Here Australia?

Pacquola has taken over from Shane Bourne who hosted TGYH from 2006 – 2009 when it was on Network Seven. The show has moved to Network Ten and Pacquola recently spoke about how excited she is to be the new host.

“When I was asked if I’d be interested in hosting the reboot I was completely thrilled,” she told 10 Play. “One, because I was delighted that the show was coming back, I was a huge fan back in the day and it’s such a wonderful format, great entertainment and also an excellent platform for comedians and performers to do their thing.

“And two, I was thrilled because I was so relieved they’d asked me to host rather than go through the blue door myself,” she added.

In the lead-up to the first episode, Pacquola spoke about her favourite ever guests of the show, and one of the names she mentioned actually appeared in the premiere episode for 2023.

“I have a soft spot for Tony Martin as a SWAT team leader, Julia Zemiro as a cattle station widow and Peter Rowsthorn as a captured superhero,” she said. “But there are many more! Rebel Wilson also smashed it out of the park every time she was on.”

Thank God You’re Here airs weekly on Wednesdays on Network 10 and 10Play.

Hunted Fugitive Eesha explains why she hid under the bed, and where she wishes she hid instead

by Danica Baker

Hunted Australia Fugitives Eesha and Bayan were just five days away from the extraction point when they were caught by the Hunters.

Bayan headed outside of the unit they were staying in to get some fresh air and locked eye contact with one of the Hunters who recognised him. After running back to the apartment, the two fugitives were surrounded by Hunters, but Eesha hid in the apartment before Bayan surrendered himself.

While Bayan told the Hunters that Eesha had left, and they found her in the apartment in perhaps the most obvious hiding spot in Hunted history – under the bed.

Hunted. Australia.

Looking back Eesha defended her decision to try and conceal herself there, but said on reflection there were so many other places she should have chosen.

“I have replayed that moment in my mind so many times and when I look back on it, I think ‘My god, there were probably better hiding spots’,” she told Chattr in a post-elimination episode.

Where does Eesha wish she hid?

The Hunted Fugitive admitted that she couldn’t think straight in the heat of the moment, but in retrospect, she came out with a hiding spot that she believes would have been a better option.

“The homeowners had these bags of clothes in the closet, so I was thinking, ‘Well, I thought I should just put myself in a bag and put all the clothes on top of me, because they’re more likely to look under the bed than inside a trash bag full of clothes’. We’ve come up with so many alternatives since then,” she said.

Eesha and Bayan on Hunted Australia episode 9
Hunted. Australia.

Eesha defended herself and said she didn’t simply climb under the bed, and said she tried to curl up in a ball behind other objects so she couldn’t be found.

“I wasn’t just like, ‘I’m gonna hide under the bed’. We put a decent amount of effort into covering everything up! If you’d have looked at any of the sides I wouldn’t have been seen but it’s because they lifted up the mattress that it was game over,” she said.

“We could have done it differently. Maybe we could have put a blanket there. We could have put clothes there, like so many other ways we could have done it.”

“At the end of the day, when you’re in that moment everything is so stressful. I don’t think you always have the time to think of the best, most optimal solution because you’re trying to come up with something really quickly. That seemed like it was the best thing that we could have possibly done. Even if I only had a small percentage chance that I would have gotten away with it. It was worth taking that risk.”

Six Fugitives remain on the run as Hunted continues Sunday night at 7.30pm on 10 and 10 Play.

Shock breakup: A FWAW 2023 couple is donezo and it sounds like things are very frosty

by Danica Baker

Throughout the FWAW 2023 season, Brenton Kuch and Sophie Holcombe had a very clear connection, so it wasn’t too much of a surprise to viewers when she was his final pick.

However, the two reality stars weren’t destined to have their fairy tale ending, with Sophie revealing the news on Instagram that they’ve now broken up.

“With a heavy heart, I want to let everyone know Brenton and I have gone our separate ways. Reg [her dog] and I loved our life in Darriman and have been missing the farm a lot,” the Farmer Wants a Wife star wrote in an Instagram story posted on August 1.

Sophie Holcombe. Instagram.

Sophie went on to hint that the breakup wasn’t amicable.

“It’s a disappointing ending but I’ve learnt a lot about myself and my values,” she wrote. “I wish Brent all the best and want to thank everyone for their support, especially my family and friends!”

Meanwhile, Farmer Brenton posted his last photo with Sophie on July 31, just one day before her breakup announcement. However, the post is a gallery of photos and Sophie only features in one group shot. Their last individual photo together was posted on both accounts five weeks ago. Farmer Brenton is yet to comment on their split.

Another FWAW 2023 couple are having a baby!

On a happier note, Brad Jones and Clare Hocking, who took part in the same season of Farmer Wants a Wife as Brenton and Sophie, are expecting a baby.

The couple announced the exciting news during an interview with New Idea magazine in July and shared some sweet posts on Instagram.

“We’re so excited to meet our newest little farm hand! Baby Jones due December,” Clare captioned a photo of her, Brad and some tiny horseriding boots. Brad posted a pic of them both holding up a small baby onesie.

“Thanks to everyone who has taken the time to congratulate us on our exciting news. We can’t wait to meet Baby Jones come December,” he captioned the pic.

“We never would have met, let alone starting a family together if we didn’t go on the Farmer Wants a Wife journey so if you’re looking at finding your life partner why not put yourself out there look at us couldn’t be happier so go on why not.”

Clare has since shared an update on Instagram with a picture showing her growing baby bump.

Hunted Australia Recap Episode 9: The Hunters almost miss a Fugitive hidden under the… bed?

by Danica Baker

It’s episode nine of Hunted Australia 2023 and it’s time for another pair of Fugitives to be benched from the run.

At this point, there’s only Eesha and Bayan, Ed and Jimi, Holly and Josh, Jordan and Tharren still out in the wild, and out of the Hunters’ grasp… for now. However, four teams of Fugitives will become three teams by, well, a few minutes into episode eight.

Here are the highlights!

Bayan and Eesha try a predictable hiding spot after being sprung by the Hunters

At the end of episode eight, we see Bayan, quite literally, lock eyes with one of the Hunters. Unfortunately for him, the Hunter recognises him and a high-speed foot chase ensues. Bayan darts back inside the unit they’re staying with and tells his partner Eesha, who is less than impressed.

Hunted. Ten.

The Hunters surround the house and Bayan eventually lets them in and surrenders himself. However, not before Eesha disappears into a hiding spot. The Hunters storm the house and eventually find her in what could be called the least creative hiding spot: under the bed.

Ed and Jimi successfully navigate the dreaded ATM withdrawal

Ed and Jimi have so far managed to keep the Hunters off their tails and make somewhat of a mockery of the team to the cameraman. So, the Hunters can’t be too happy when the men manage to get one up on them by hitting an ATM at BP in Glen Waverly and withdrawing $200. They believe that this money will see them through until the extraction in a few days.

Hunted. Ten.

The Hunters are alerted to their location through the withdrawal, but once they arrive at the petrol station Ed and Jimi and well and truly gone.

Josh and Holly split up

Josh and Holly have only just scraped through in the past few episodes, and have had a few situations where the Hunters have been hot on their toes. Now, they’ve sent all Ground Hunter units to approach the couple’s close contacts one by one could this be their last hurrah? Apparently not.

After using a stranger’s phone, Josh and Holly discover that the Hunters have already visited their close contact Ally. With the Hunters hot on their trails, the Fugitives decide to split up and Josh left with Ally, hoping to draw them away from his girlfriend Holly.

Hunted. Ten.

Six Fugitives remain on the run as Hunted continues Sunday night at 7.30pm on 10 and 10 Play.

We know what the next Stan Christmas movie is about, here’s everything you need to know

by Danica Baker

While it may feel a little early, Christmas is only a matter of months away and what better way to celebrate that than the announcement of a new Australian Chrissy film?

Following in the footsteps of A Sunburnt Christmas, Christmas on the Farm and Christmas Ransom, Stan will be releasing an original film called Jones Family Christmas this year.

A Sunburnt Christmas
A Sunburnt Christmas. Stan.

Here in Australia, it can be slim pickings when it comes to finding a Xmas movie that doesn’t involve a white Christmas, which is why it’s so great that Jones Family Christmas is set in the Aussie summer.

Jones Family Christmas is based on Tegan Higginbotham’s audio play and is a 2Jons production that will premiere this festive season.

What’s it about?

Eccentric Quirky grandma Heather Jones finally succeeds in corralling her family together for Christmas. But their rural home is anything but jolly. Amid heartbreak, depression, meddlesome mothers, and obligatory festivities, each member of Heather’s extended family battles their own inner demons.

Unfortunately, their external situation isn’t much better. Before Heather even gets a chance to question her kids about their love-life mishaps, a fire evacuation order disrupts the family. With fires spreading and danger looming, Heather and her family must unite as they rediscover the true meaning of family.

Who’s in it?

Jones Family Christmas has Heather Mitchell (Love Me) and Ella Scott Lynch (Love Child) in starring roles.

Heather Mitchell. Love Me.

The premiere date for The Traitors Australia has dropped, so jot it into your very full reality TV diary

by Danica Baker

If you’re hoping to have no social life this August, then you’re in luck, because The Traitors Australia is dropping soon and will see us through the last month of winter.

The Traitors will kick off right after Hunted ends – and a week after The Block premieres – on August 13, to be precise.

In the lead-up to the popular reality TV show, Network Ten has dropped a new trailer that teases trickery, treachery and treason.

Who’s in The Traitors Australia 2023?

The Traitors is making a huge change for season two. Instead of casting only everyday Australians, they’ve cast a mix of normies, as well as some popular reality stars.

Hannah Ferrier from Below Deck and The Real Love Boat, Luke Toki from Australian Survivor, Gyton Grantley from Underbelly and House Husbands and Ash Pollard from My Kitchen Rules will all be competing on the adventure competition show. They’ll be joined by professional wrestler Simone Williams, motivational speaker and conservationist Paul de Gelder and TV writer Ian Zaro.

Amongst the non-celebrity contestants are a former undercover cop, a lawyer, an actor, an ex-federal agent, a professional wrestler and a clinical psychotherapist.

What is The Traitors about?

The Traitors twenty people relocate to a sprawling castle in the NSW Southern Highlands. Throughout the series, the contestants will undertake a series of missions and earn money for the prize pot. Amongst these contestants is three Traitors who will work like moles to try and eliminate the other contestants and jeopardise the prize money.

In the end, if the ‘faithful’ contestants manage to eliminate all the Traitors, they’ll share the $250,000 prize. However, if a Traitor makes it all the way, they’ll take home the cash themselves.

The Traitors premieres August 13 at 7:30 on Channel 10 and 10Play.

Hunted Australia Recap Episode 8: We’re reintroduced to Fugitives who’ve been off the grid

by Danica Baker

It’s episode eight of Hunted Australia 2023 and there are apparently some Fugitives that are doing such a great job at hiding that they’ve barely managed to get any screen time this season.

With just a hand full of days left until extraction, we’re reintroduced to father-son team Tharren and Jordan, who’ve had next-to-no air time this entire season. Could their evasive skills see them beat the Hunters?

Hunted. Ten.

Here are the highlights!

Bayan and Eesha think they’ve cracked the code

Bayan and Eesha are back in the hot seat after some close calls in episode seven and their latest blunder may just see them captured by the Hunters. At this point, they’re still unaware that the Hunters have infiltrated their burner phone and are hot on their trails.

So, when they meet a stranger who invites them back to their apartment, they think they’ve had a stroke of luck. However, when Bayan and Eesha step outside to get some fresh air and switch on the public wifi, the Hunters are pinged to their location and set off to catch the duo. We’re left with a serious cliffhanger when the Ground Hunters make eye contact with Bayan, and the chase of a lifetime begins.

Tharren and Jordan tease the Hunters

Unlike some of the other teams, Tharren and Jordan have laid low all season and haven’t taken it upon themselves to target the Hunters and, consequently, put a target on their own backs. Until now.

After managing to stay off the grid for the past few weeks, the father-son duo send a ‘care package’ of sorts to the Hunters, which consists of decoy postcards from town that they have driven past while on the run. The Hunters are delighted that they’ve received the package and believe they can use forensic measures to track it.

The Hunters break into Holly and Josh’s apartment

Holly and Josh find themselves in hot water after Ground Hunter team Charlie and Delta execute a “covert operation” and break into the Fugitive’s apartment. Inside, they find “Shapes in the freezer” along with some more helpful intel, like a diary in Holly’s bra drawer which has a list of hotels the Fugitives are staying out as well as their travel itinerary.

Hunted. Ten.

With five days left, eight Fugitives remain on the run as Hunted continues Tuesday night at 7.30pm on 10 and 10 Play.

Angus Cloud, star of Euphoria, has died at 25 

by Danica Baker

Angus Cloud, best known for playing Fez on the hit TV series Euphoria, has died at age 25.

Cloud’s family confirmed the sad news in a statement to TMZ, and said that he passed in the family house in Oakland.

“It is with the heaviest heart that we had to say goodbye to an incredible human today. As an artist, a friend, a brother and a son, Angus was special to all of us in so many ways,” they said.

“Last week he buried his father and intensely struggled with this loss. The only comfort we have is knowing Angus is now reunited with his dad, who was his best friend. Angus was open about his battle with mental health and we hope that his passing can be a reminder to others that they are not alone and should not fight this on their own in silence.”

“We hope the world remembers him for his humour, laughter and love for everyone. We ask for privacy at this time as we are still processing this devastating loss,” the statement concluded.

The recurring part of Fezco in Euphoria was the star’s big breakout role, and he has two projects coming up that are set for release soon.

Twitter is losing it over Sam Pang’s epic job of hosting the TV Week Logie Awards

by Danica Baker

Being the first host in 11 years, Sam Pang had big shoes to fill at the 63rd Annual TV Week Logie Awards. And fill them he did!

Viewers couldn’t get enough of the Australian comedian and headed over to Twitter to express their delight over his hilarious hosting job.

The social media platform was lit up with comments about Pang, with many fans requesting that the Have You Been Paying Attention? panellist be made a permanent fixture at the awards show.

What did Sam Pang say at the TV Week Logie Awards?

Pang managed to roast a huge amount of television royalty in his opening monologue alone.

The TV Week Logie Awards. Seven.

The comedian took aim at former Logie winner Kerri-Anne Kennerly with his comment about I’m a Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here!. He said it is “a wonderful show where we find out which Australian celebrities haven’t been adding to their super. Hi Kerri-Anne!”

Pang went on to thank Gold Logie nominee Hamish Blake for stepping aside so that he could score the hosting role.

“Some of us have a mortgage,” he told Blake. “By the way, a mortgage is when the bank loans … Ah, don’t worry about it.”

But perhaps his most scathing comment was in regard to Lisa Wilkinson’s acceptance speech at last year’s Logie Awards. Wilkinson interviewed Brittany Higgins on The Project when she went public with rape allegations against Bruce Lehrmann. The journalist received a Silver Logie for the segment.

The TV Week Logie Awards. Nine.

In Wilkinson’s acceptance speech, she insinuated that the allegations were true, despite the case not being proven in court, which caused the case to be delayed. It was later aborted due to juror misconduct.

Pang told audience members to not “mix beer and wine”, and to “make sure that you don’t mix your acceptance speech with an active court case”.
