Two fan favourites are back on the judging panel of My Kitchen Rules 2023.
Popular judge Manu Feildel will be returning to judge the new season of MKR, and Colin Fassnidge will be joining him, after spending last season as a guest judge.
The two will travel around Australia with the contestants for the Instant Kitchen’s segment. After all teams have cooked at their homes, the lowest-scoring team is eliminated.
Later in the season established My Kitchen Rules judge Nigella Lawson will be joining them at Kitchen HQ where the remaining couples will compete for the winning title.
Who have been the past permanent judges on My Kitchen Rules?
Pete Evans was a long-running series judge on the show and appeared from season one until season 11. Evans received a lot of backlash for controversial opinions he shared on social media in 2020. Shortly after, the show was put on a hiatus, however, the network denied the choice has anything to do with the former judge.
When MKR returned in 2022, Evans was no longer a judge and Nigella Lawson picked up where he left off. Matt Preston also appeared in season twelve as a series judge.
Who have been the guest judges on MKR?
Over the years, My Kitchen Rules has seen a number of talented chefs and cooking professionals appear as guest judges. Amongst them are Karen Martini, Guy Grossi, Liz Egan, Tobie Puttock, Jacqui Gowan, Rachel Khoo, Darren Robertson, Curtis Stone and Gary Mehigan.
MKR. Seven.
Who are the contestants on MKR 2023?
This year, there are only six sets of contestants battling it out to win the show and the $100,000 prize. Amongst them are:
Tommy and Rach – Just friends
Sonia and Marcus – Mother and son
Prabha and Radha – Identical twins
Nick and Christian – Food maestros
Coco and Pearls – Fiesty friends
Claudean and Anthony – Married battlers
MKR. Seven.
MKR premieres 7.30pm Monday, 4 September on Channel 7 and 7plus.
Season four judges Abbie Chatfield, Chrissie Swan, Mel Brown, andDavid Hughes are all returning for The Masked Singer Australia 2023. Host Osher Gunsberg will be coming back as well.
Hughes has been a judge on the show since its inception in 2019. Whereas Chatfield, Swan and Brown all joined in 2022 after Dannii Minogue, Jackie O and Urzilla Carlson left.
The Masked Singer. Ten.
What masks will the performers be wearing this year?
So far, we know five of the masks that contestants will be wearing in the upcoming season. You can find out more about each below.
There have been four seasons of The Masked Singer Australia and four winners.
Cody Simpson won season one as a robot. Bonnie Anderson won the second as a bush ranger, Anastacia won the third season as a Vampire and Melody Thornton was the most recent winner as a Mirrorball.
Is there a trailer for the Masked Singer 2023?
There sure is!

Former MAFS bride Melinda Willis has revealed that her partner Layton Mills gave her a “beautiful eternity ring” to celebrate their one-year anniversary.
The reality stars celebrated the momentous occasion on Sunday, September 27 with a romantic dinner.
“We celebrated the 12-month anniversary of Melton ❤️🥂,” Melinda began the post.
“Who would have thought! What an absolute crazy ride it’s been and you guys have been there with us, through it all.
“Thank you for all the constant love and support, we are so grateful. The 3rd slide shows the beautiful eternity ring Layton gave me on the night,” she concluded.
Have Melinda and Layton stayed together since MAFS?
Yes. The couple committed to each other at the Final Vows ceremony which was filmed in December 2022 and have been together ever since.
MAFS. Nine.
They initially had a long-distance relationship, as Layton was based in Sydney while Melinda is based in Queensland. However, during an appearance on the Back To Reality podcast in June, Melinda revealed that Leighton was moving in with her in Queensland.
“So Layton lives in Sydney right, am I correct? Is there any talk about him moving to Brisbane?” host Taku asked Melinda.
When Melinda confirmed that “there was”, Taku asked for more details.
“[Layton’s] currently packing up shop now, like looking at doing all that, and then moving,” Melinda responded.
What other couples from MAFS 2023 are still together?
The ‘relationship experts’ from this year’s season of MAFS didn’t have a great success rate as only Melinda and Layton and Tahnee Cookand Ollie Skelton are still together out of the couples they matched.
Tahnee and Ollie on MAFS. Nine.
However, Duncan James and Evelyn Ellis went rogue post-show and are now officially together despite not being matched on the show.
Aussie soap Neighbours is coming back to our screens, and the iconic theme song has been replaced with an updated version.
While the new theme song is pretty similar to the original, it’s been given a fresh update by Chris Sebastian, the winner of Season 9 of The Voice Australia, which aired in 2020.
“When I was told the Neighbours team were going to use my voice for the new season theme song, I was shocked and of course over the moon,” Sebastian said in a statement.
Chris Sebastian. Instagram.
“I have grown up with that soundtrack and I still can’t quite believe that this is real. Neighbours, we are all so glad you are back, it hasn’t been the same without our friends. I hope you guys love my version of the theme song as much as I loved recording it for you.”
To celebrate the updated Neighbours theme song, some of the soap’s cast have been captured on video listening to it for the first time in a cute clip that was posted to YouTube.
When is Neighbours returning?
Neighbours is returning to 10 and 10Play on Monday, September 18. UK and U.S. audiences can view the series on Amazon Freevee plus Prime Video in Australia and New Zealand seven days following free to air viewing on Network 10.
Who’s in the Neighbours revival?
While not all of the cast members who were part of Neighbours when it periodically ended in July 2022 will be returning, many of the main characters will be.
Amongst them are Alan Fletcher, Jackie Woodburne, Stefan Dennis, Ryan Moloney, Annie Jones,Rebekah Elmaloglou, Georgie Stone, Tim Kano, Lucinda Cowden and Lucinda Armstrong Hall. There will also be new additions to Ramsay Street, including Mischa Barton, Shiv Palekar, Sara West, Naomi Rukavina and Xavier Molyneux.
In a world of dystopian dramas and endless reality series, sometimes all you need is a feel-good romcom. And, the new Netflix movie Love is in the Air starring Delta Goodrem fits the bill perfectly.
You can even see for yourself, in the new trailer which shows Goodrem as a pilot named Dana who meets a man named William (Joshua Sasse) through work and the two characters slowly begin to fall for one another. Of course, there are private flights, beach scenes and practically every other romantic stereotype you can imagine.
Watch the trailer.
When does Love is in the Air come out?
Love Is In The Air will air on Netflix on September 28, 2023.
What is it about?
Dana Randall is a dedicated pilot for Fullerton Airways, a non-profit air service based in Far North Queensland. Alongside her father Jeff and mechanic friend Nikki, they work as a small team to provide essential air services to the local island communities.
Love is in the Air. Netflix.
When William, a financial representative from ITCM Financial in London, arrives to review the organization’s financials, Dana welcomes him, knowing they heavily rely on his company’s subsidies.
However, unbeknownst to Dana, William’s audit is intended to confirm the business’s financial struggles and ultimately result in the closure of the airline.
But, as William spends time with Dana and the island community, his loyalty becomes divided. He starts developing feelings for Dana, and it appears that the feeling is mutual… until she accidentally uncovers his true intentions.
Love is in the Air. Netflix.
Where is it filmed?
The Netflix movie was filmed in Queensland’s Whitsundays and production was based in Airlie Beach. The film had support from the Queensland Government via Screen Queensland.
“I feel incredibly fortunate to be shooting here in the Whitsundays. We’ve been made to feel so welcome by the local community. I’m enjoying being back on set, portraying a go-getter like Dana and I’m looking forward to sharing the film with audiences,” Goodrem told Screenhub at the time of filming.
Love Is In The Airwill air on Netflix on September 28, 2023.
We’ve been blessed with a sneak peek of the new Stan Original Series C*A*U*G*H*T and it’s pretty much impossible to deny that this series will be a lol and a half.
The sneak peek clip shows very stereotypical Australian and American government officials, debating about Aussie soldiers who’ve been held hostage on a small island called Behati-Prinsloo.
While the American representatives are determined to get to the bottom of the hostage situation, the Australian Prime Minister is more worried about Ian Thorpe’s latest swimming race.
Watch the sneak peek for yourself:
What’s the show about?
In “CAUGH*T,” the Australian Minister of Defence sends a ‘secret file’ to the Princess of Behati-Prinsloo, a small island nation. Four Australian soldiers are then deployed on a covert mission to retrieve the file in the war-torn country.
C*A*U*G*H*T. Stan.
However, they are mistaken for Americans by freedom fighters and become captured. A hostage video they create becomes viral, catapulting them to celebrity status on social media.
Surprisingly, they come to realize that being caught may actually be a fortunate turn of events. Their story is about to be etched in search history.
Who’s in C*A*U*G*H*T?
Kick Gurry, Lincoln Younes, Erik Thomson, Ben O’Toole, Alexander England, Fayssal Bazzi, Mel Jarnson and Dorian Nkono and Susan Sarandon all star in the new TV series.
C*A*U*G*H*T. Stan.
The cast also includes Travis Fimmel and Tuppence Middleton as well as Sean Penn, Matthew Fox, Bryan Brown, Rebecca Breeds and Bella Heathcote.
Are there any other trailers?
There are! You can watch the official C*A*U*G*H*T trailer below.
The Block Australia is one of Channel Nine’s biggest shows and largely centres around a group of amateurs who renovate houses and sell them for a profit.
However, that wasn’t the case during the August 30 episode of the show, as producers decided to implement a breakdancing competition, with the winners receiving extra money in their building budget.
The contestants themselves were quite perplexed about having to dance on TV, but it was social media users who were very vocal about their opinion of the challenge.
Some of those fans celebrated Eliza and Liberty’s win, while others blasted the show over the random addition.
Check out some of the best social media reactions to the breakdancing challenge below:
Good lawdt… I cannot believe that I’ve sat through that. Where’s the renovations at?? This is some lame ass buuulllllllllshit!!!!! #theblockpic.twitter.com/343PBERTvZ
It’s episode 16 of The Block 2023 and ScottyCam and ShelleyCraft are touring the houses for their weekly walk around.
As expected, when they arrive at House Five, they’re not sure what to think of Eliza and Liberty’s moss wall.
“But what does it do?” Shelley asks while Scotty brings out a dad joke.
“People buy exit mould to get rid of that stuff,” he says. Lol.
Meanwhile, both Shelley and Scott agree that Leslie and Kyle’s small but mighty powder room could actually win, meaning it would be anotherBlock first if the smallest room wins.
Shelley Craft. Nine
While we’ve grown quite fond of not hearing our contestants moan about each other, there is growing tension between Leah and Kristy (in the blue corner) and Steph (in the red corner). Leah and Kristy are sick of hearing Steph’s constant advice on how to do things…
Gian and the drama of the Stonemason
A tough situation begins to unfold with Gian and his stonemason, who needs to be inducted with The Block builders Nine In Six; however, he doesn’t have the correct documentation.
Adding to the woes, the stonemason has to install the stone bench on Friday afternoon because he’s a very busy person and cannot make it on Saturday.
After some serious stressing in House Four, Gian manages to negotiate with Nine In Six to get him inducted. Crisis averted.
Foreman Dan and Gian. Nine
The break dancing challenge precisely no one asked for
Oh. This.
Leslie returns from Perth just in the nick of time to keep on building for the break dancing challenge and after her fall the previous day, Steph has the all-clear to participate.
In case you were worried, unsurprisingly Eliza and Liberty took the challenge win, adding another $10,000 to their bank plus a secret gnome they can use, as long as no one else finds out.
Leah and Ash come second, and Steph and Gian place third.
Nine
Because some people cannot let sh** go, some eyebrows were raised after Steph appeared to do her whole routine without any sign of injury, which I’m sure went down a treat as the Blockhead headed to the pub, The Esp to celebrate a ~FuN~ night…

The revolving door on Below Deck Down Under is still spinning, with new deckhand Luka Brunton joining the crew.
The new deckhand’s recruitment follows Adam Kodra’s dismissal for accidentally dropping the anchor while the superyacht was cruising at full speed.
“We’re going to let you go, and I’m going to bring in a lead deckhand. I just need someone with more experience,”Captain Jason told Adam during episode 13.
Luka has joined the team under the guidance of bosun, João Franco, who is another recent addition following the firing of bosun Luke.

Is Luka single?
In heartbreaking news for the singles out there, Luka is happily married to a model named Lorena, who lives in Bali. She has an OnlyFans account which can be found via her Instagram bio.
The two have been together since before Covid and spent quarantine locked down together. While they’ve both posted pics of the dog they have together, neither have shared photos from their wedding on social media.

What is Luka’s Instagram?

How old is Luka?
Luka is 25 years old and his birthday is on October 31, making him a Scorpio. His mum and dad split when he was just one, and he was raised solely by his mother before she met his now step-dad when he was five years old.
Does Luka have experience in yachting?
Yes! Luka’s been in the industry for seven years. The New Zealander also admitted that his “wildest charter guest story” featured some A-List celebrities.
“I have had some high-profile guests visit a yacht. We had to pick them up in a tender in the middle of the night with no lights on so they wouldn’t be seen,” he said in his Bravo cast bio.
“I love Luka,” Aesha said in an interview during the episode. “When I first started yachting, my sister and I went to France to look for our first yachting jobs together. And that’s when I became friends with Luka. He’s just one of those guys [who] everyone is drawn to and everyone likes.”
Aesha later clarified that Luka had dated her little sister seven years ago.
“Luka knows my sister very well,” she joked, before revealing that he had also hooked up with Below Deck Down Under season one’s Magda Ziomek.
Luka shared his excitement to work with Aesha in a separate interview.
“[It’s] so good to see Aesha again,” he said. “She’s like family, actually.”
Shark Tank Australia 2023’s premiere episode saw all five judges show a surprising amount of interest in an insole product.
Called Stryda, it is the only insole made with over 90% cork and has impressive profit margins, which gained the Sharks’ attention.
Sabri Suby, Dr. Catriona Wallace, Davie Fogarty, Jane Lu and Robert Herjavec all threw down offers for the product, and all of the Sharks bar Wallace banded together and struck a deal with the company’s entrepreneur ThienTranh.
While the amount of enthusiasm the Sharks had for Stryda was certainly promising, viewers were left wondering whether their investment was successful.
Thien. Nine
Fortunately, Lu has given an update, and it’s fair to say that Stryda is thriving.
“This Shark Tank has grown by 11 times since we filmed five months ago and I’m gonna tell you how we did it,” Lu said in a post shared on her Instagram.
The Showpo CEO said that Stryda is one of the “most exciting pitches in Shark Tank history.”
“When we first saw the product we all thought, ‘Boring, next’. But, then Thien the entrepreneur started pitching and he had us hooked [and] every single Shark made an offer”
Suby, Fogarty, Lu and Herjavec all invested in Stryda in a group deal.
“Not everyone knows this, but the Sharks actually invest their own money, after a very rigorous due diligence process, of course,” she clarified.
“So Stryda now makes more in a month than it had made in the whole year before coming on Shark Tank.”
How did the Sharks make Stryda so successful?
Lu explained that she and the other Sharks worked on Stryda’s branding and digital marketing to improve sales.
“We cranked up his social media content to get heaps of eyeballs on his brand and his website. And it was a way to listen to what his potential customers wanted. So that we could expand the product, we rebranded Stryda as ‘Home of Happy Feet’. Because Happy Feet equals happy bodies,” she said.
“And, we’re selling more than a product, we’re creating a brand. We tweaked his website to improve his conversion rate and then optimised his paid ads and now we’re forecasting a run rate of a million dollars by October.”
Then, like the successful businesswoman she is, Lu shamelessly encouraged her followers to follow Stryda on Instagram.
“This is just the start we have big plans, so follow Stryda to join us on the journey.”
Shark Tank continues on Tuesday, September 5 on 10 and 10Play.

It’s episode 15 of The Block and there are now only five days until the Guest Bathroom Reveal.
While all the other Blockheads — including her own husband — are working away on their powder/bathrooms, Leslie leaves for a couple of days to go home for a wedding and to see her babes.
Like Deja Vu, we’re back for Waterproof Wednesday as Foremen Keith and Dan are making their way around Charming St. inspecting the properties.
As mentioned during episode 14, Eliza and Liberty are installing a moss wall, which arrives and they love it. However, they’re also living up to the fact that they’re the little sisters of The Block because Dan can’t handle the chaos that is their building site.
Eliza and Liberty’s chaos. Nine
Meanwhile, over in House Three, Kristy and Brett think another builder has stolen one of their signature pieces, 1956 Melbourne Olympic-styled bricks that were found in the original house on Charming St.
On top of this, Kristy crashes her Ford into a bollard at the service station causing quite a bit of damage which is not ideal…
Kristy’s accident. Nine
Eliza and Liberty are also not having a good time, given that they’re now in trouble with Keith and Dan for using power tools after 5 p.m. As we all know, this is a Block no-no and leads Eliza to say that this is her worst day on The Block.
Suspiciously quiet, Leah and Ash and Steph and Gian are actually busy working. But obviously not hard enough as they don’t make waterproof Wednesday. But never fear, both teams are not too concerned, thinking they’re just a little behind.
After not making the Bathroom milestone, things go from bad to worse as Steph falls into a hole. No joke. She is more embarrassed than hurt and has to get checked out by a doctor.
Steph, after falling in a hole. Nine
Another mini-challenge takes place with Liberty taking home $5000 before the godforsaken breakdancing rehearsals continue…

Two of the Sharks featured on Shark Tank Australia 2023 have made it abundantly clear that they invest their own money into the entrepreneurs pitching businesses on the show.
“Everyone is under the assumption that the network gives us some kind of Monopoly money, right?” Suby said.
“We’re not paid to be on the show. It’s all our own money. We don’t know anything about these entrepreneurs more than the viewers do when they come and watch one of the pitches.
“We’ve got a very short amount of time to get down to the real situation of like, ‘Hey, I’m actually going to be writing a cheque to this person, so I need to know where we stand with everything.”
Shark Tank. Ten.
Lu also revealed that she invested her own money on Shark Tank Australia in some businesses that she wouldn’t normally find herself aligned with.
“I understand a product business. I think that where it’s my specialty lies, and also where I can see myself giving value. Where I could actually use my experience to actually give that business that step up. But that being said, I definitely invested in other types of businesses [on Shark Tank Australia].”
What can viewers expect from pitches on this season of Shark Tank Australia?
Like the gazillion seasons of Shark Tankthat have aired around the world, the new Australian season will see hopeful entrepreneurs pitch business ideas in the hope that the Sharks will invest money in exchange for a percentage ownership.
Shark Tank. Ten.
Speaking of the most “stand out” pitches on Shark Tank Australia 2023, Suby teased that one man pitched a very memorable idea.
“There was one gentleman who had a very touching story. He was selling a product to do with feet. That’s all I can go into. He wasn’t selling pictures of his feet. It was to do with it,” he revealed.
Suby added that he witnessed some “phenomenal” pitches during the season.
“There was a very good food one that I’m a little bit regretful that it didn’t turn out the way that I wanted it to. We had everything from skincare products to orthopaedic orthotic insoles. There was so there’s such a wide variety of entrepreneurs, and we really weren’t told anything [before they pitched].”
You can watch Shark Tank on 10 and 10Play.
