The Block 2023 has seen a brand new judge named Marty Fox added to their existing and established trio.
For the past decade, Shaynna Blaze, Darren Palmer and Neale Whitaker have been judging the Blockheads rooms and making contestants days – or crushing their dreams.
So, it goes without saying that the newcomer judge needed to be extremely well-versed when it comes to home renovations and decor, which Marty Fox certainly is. But, who exactly is he?

What is Marty Fox’s background?
Marty has a long history in real estate and is the co-founder and director of WHITEFOX Real Estate.
He’s also an investor and has flipped 12 properties over the past 15 years – all of which he’s renovated with his wife Charlotte. The couple share three kids – Freddy, 6, Olive, 4, and Bonnie, 1.
“For me, the style of a property has always been what is the best return for your investment,” he told 9Now.
Has Marty Fox been on The Block before?
He sure has! Avid The Block fans probably remember him from auction days. He’s the auctioneer who sold both Harry and Tash’s house in Brighton (2020) and Rachel and Ryan’s in Gisborne (2022).

“I’ve always respected the show and been very impressed how everyone on The Block does business,” he said.
“It’s really nice to come back into the show having been on the periphery in the past. It’s almost like a tick for me professionally.”
Is Marty Fox a full-time judge?
No. Well, not yet, anyway. He and Neale will be tag-teaming judging segments alongside Shaynna and Darren.
At the start of the 2023 season, Neale announced that he would be partially stepping back from his judging role to spend more time with his partner, who has had health troubles.
“I’m very proud to be completing my 17th season as a judge on The Block,” he explained in an Instagram post. “It’s an amazing privilege to have been part of this iconic show for 13 years.
“For the 2023 season, however, I’ve put family first and cut back on my judging weeks.”

Will there be a season 2 of Who is Erin Carter?
To manage expectations, Netflix has called Who Is Erin Carter? a limited series, which may mean that there won’t be a second instalment. On top of this, there’s been no news of an announcement on whether the series will return.
To throw a spanner in the works; however, ~sOmEoNe~ does say to Erin (no spoilers, you’re welcome): “I’ve always found use for trouble,” soooo…. maybe this is setting up another season!!
Is Who is Erin Carter? based on a true story
Given that it’s set in a fictional town with fictional characters and that the creators haven’t told us otherwise, the series is not based on a true story.
Kim Cattrall sashayed into And Just Like That and back into our hearts with her cameo as Samantha Jones in the season two finale.
The appearance was highly anticipated by fans, and according to their online reactions, Cattrall’s short part didn’t disappoint.
In the scene, Samantha told Carrie (Sarah Jessica Parker) that she’d planned to fly to New York to surprise her former best friend by attending her dinner party, however, her flight from London had been delayed so she couldn’t make it.
While Samantha and Carrie appeared to be in the same scene, Parker and Catrall filmed their parts separately – which wasn’t a shocker considering the two actor’s long-running feud.
And Just Like That. Binge.
Drama aside, it was great to have Samantha Jones (kind of) back where she belongs, amongst the OG Sex and The City cast.
To celebrate her, albeit quick, return of sorts, we’ve popped together some of the best Twitter reactions.

It may feel like a lifetime ago that Carolina Santos appeared on MAFS, but she’s still attempting to keep herself in the headlines by dishing some dirt on 2023 groom Duncan James.
ICYMI, Carolina was an intruder on MAFS 2022, and although she was ‘married’ to Dion Giannarelli, she had an affair with co-star Daniel Holmes and continued to date him after the show.
Daniel and Carolina on MAFS. Nine.
Now, during an appearance on Back to Realitypodcast with hosts Selina Chhaur and Taku Chimwaza, Carolina has revealed that she hooked up with someone from the 2023 season of Married At First Sight.
The hosts pressed her for more information and Carolina admitted that it was Duncan.
“To be honest, it was a drunken night out and it was like a couple of kisses,” she said.
Some fans may remember that back in March Yahoo Lifestyle Australia published photos of the two reality stars cuddled on a sofa together at a nightclub. At the time, both parties denied that anything happened, however, Carolina has now come clean.
“We both denied it back [then]. Actually, he denied it. And I’m like, ‘Okay, I’ll just go with like, maybe he’s just he’s probably just off the show. He’s probably going through what I did’. So, I don’t want to put him in a spot.”
What actually happened between Duncan and Carolina?
Carolina told Taku and Selina that she and Duncan made out while they were at the club.
“It was just a few kisses, we didn’t go home together sleep together or anything. We didn’t continue talking after it was absolutely nothing. It meant nothing, it was drunken kisses,” she said.
The MAFS intruder explained that she got Duncan’s Instagram from a journalist and the two started DMing each other.
“I can’t remember if he reached out or I reached out to say, ‘Hi new MAFS if you need anything [I’m here]’, she recalled.
“I think I was in contact with a few of them, and mostly the ones that [the journalist] thought would come out as villains because I was a villain [so I could] offer some support.
“So I messaged him and was like, ‘Oh, hey, if you need anything, I’m here for you’. We were talking a little bit and that day I was out and he was out as well.”
Carolina said that Duncan messaged her and asked her where she was out, and when she told him she was at a gay bar, he came to meet her.
“He was already drunk because he was out at a bucks party I think,” she added.
Who is Duncan dating now?
Duncan was paired with Alyssa Barmonde on the hit reality show, but they broke up at the final commitment ceremony when he told her that he didn’t want to move forward in a relationship.
After the breakup, Duncan and Evelyn Ellisbegan dating, and have been together since March. The pair confirmed their relationship in May in a video with Nine Entertainment.

“This is Evelyn and Duncan’s hard launch,” Evelyn said in the video.
“It feels good to finally just say it, and it feels kind of exhilarating in a weird, freeing way.”

Cannot wait to hear Taylor Swift’s version of Look What You Made Me Do? Well, Swifties, you can hear it right now in the teaser trailer for Prime Video’s Wilderness.
The song backs the opening titles for the UK Original thriller series with the re-recorded track from Reputation making its global debut.
Jenna Coleman. Prime Video
What is Wilderness about?
The song reflects Liv’s (Jenna Coleman) transformation after her supposed “happily-ever-after” quickly turns into a living nightmare on discovering her husband Will (Oliver Jackson-Cohen) is having an affair.
Liv becomes the actress starring in Will’s bad dreams after she learns about his betrayal, and her heartbreak is swiftly followed by another emotion: fury. The couple embark on an American road trip Liv’s fantasised about since she was little, from the Grand Canyon on through Yosemite, before ending up with a hedonistic weekend in Las Vegas.
For Will, it’s a chance to make amends; for Liv, it’s a very different prospect—a landscape where accidents happen all the time. The perfect place to get revenge.
Look what he made her do…
Oliver Jackson-Cohen. Prime Video
The series is based on a novel
Wilderness is based on a novel by B.E. Jones with Good Reads saying: “If you love gripping psychological thrillers like Gone Girl, The Wife Between Us and The Innocent Wife, then you will be hooked by this addictive suspense novel about one wife’s revenge.”
Author Jones is a former journalist who worked for The Western Mail newspaper and BBC Wales Today before becoming a press officer for the police. She worked on all aspects of crime reporting (as well as community news and features) producing stories and content for newspapers and live TV.

It’s episode 9 of The Voice Australia and all four coaches are coming very close to filling their teams.
The talent-filled night saw coaches Rita Ora and Guy Sebastian officially acquire the last members of their teams. With just one episode of the Blind Auditions left, Jason Derulo and Jessica Mauboy also worked towards securing their final singers.
Christian Ellis, 20
ChristianEllis blew the judges away with an acoustic version of Tina Turner’s The Best. The rendition caught the attention of Jess and Rita, who were screaming in excitement before spinning their chairs.
The bell boy opened up about suffering spinal paralysis from a soccer ball that hit his lower back left. He told the judges that he had to learn to walk again and said that singing gave him something to live for.
Jason’s pitch to become Christian’s singing and personal mentor won him over, and the ‘Talk Dirty’ singer recruited another team member.
Emily Kate, 18
Emily Kate belted out Iris by The Goo Goo Dolls and the mesmerising performance had all four judges spinning their chairs.
“Do you know incredible that audition was? Emily, you have just changed my perspective of being a coach on this show. That was the perfect audition,” Rita asked her.
“That was a 101 masterclass of how to audition for The Voice,” Guy added.
Rita used her block on Guy and Emily took the final spot on Team Rita.
Charlie Pittman, 25
With Rita’s team officially full, Charlie Pittman turned the remaining three coaches’ chairs with his rendition of Dean Lewis’ How Do I Say Goodbye.
“I think you’ve got the goods to make a career out of this,” Guy told him, while Jess added: “You’re a ready-to-go pop star. You could be on the radio tomorrow.”
Charlie opted for Guy as a coach, officially taking the last spot on his team.
The Voice continues 7.00 pm on Sunday on Channel 7 and 7plus.
Snow Fox has mesmerised the guessing panel with her high notes and sexy allure, but who is under the mask?
Clues
August 24
Another, “Could this be the most surprising reveal ever”, sounds like Snow Fox could actually be a performer or not?! Given that we could be surprised by who is under the mask!
There’s a lot of “royal” undertones, which could point to the singer being TV royalty.
The Masked Singer Australia 2023 coming soon to 10 and 10Play.
It’s episode 12 of The Block 2023 and Kristy and Brett are still trying to figure out how they are going to move forward with restumping their entire house.
On top of this, Kristy also caught the bug that Eliza had in episode 11 and had to spend some time in bed. Meanwhile, Leah’s bad luck continued, struggling to find a cabinet maker at the last minute.
After Block builders Nine In Six began building the second stories on all the homes — and subsequently finding new issues for all the Blockheads — including House Four who had to demo all of their ceilings after old plaster fell off the roof.
Given that it’s Melbourne, a huge rain event was forecast and Foreman Dan advised all the couples to take the plaster of their ceilings down to prevent any more roofs from collapsing. He also insisted they cover their WFH spaces — which Leah and Ash ignore.
Ash. Nine
In hopes of lifting her spirits, ShelleyCraft and Alice Stolz from Domain take Liberty to a beautiful house in Toorak to get some styling inspiration. This gives her the lift she needs to keep on, keepin’ on!
Once again, the contestants were told to tarp their roofs; however, Ash — who is from Sunny QLD — adopts a “she’ll be right” attitude and Dan is unimpressed.
Then it was revealed that House One’s Kyle and Leslie had broken a huge Block rule i.e. working on the tools after 6pm and subsequently getting a noise complaint from their neighbours… real ones, not Blockheads.
Scott and Shelley’s walkaround
It’s walkaround time with Scotty Cam and Shelley and the first budget chat of the season.
Kyle and Leslie are once again in the firing line, having spent $57,000 in just two weeks. Ooft!
Over in House four, Gian finally was able to sell the spa — but it was only for $500. But hey! Every penny on The Block counts!
Kyle and Leslie. Nine
Then there was finally some good news for Kristy and Brett. Foreman Keith revealed that because of the magnitude of restumping their whole home, they can work ahead to get it done.
As the storm clouds approach, furniture arrives and as they say, there’s no rest for the wicked! It’s going to be a big weekend on The Block.

Interview: The unexpected person Ian thinks would be a good Traitor on The TraitorsAustralia 2023.
Banished contestant Ian Zaro has opened up about who he believes would be a great traitor – and surprisingly, it’s one of the Faithfuls with minimal screentime.
During a post-elimination interview with Chattr, Ian named one co-star who he believes could have deceived everyone. The social media star said that he thinks highly decorated police officer Keith Banks would have been a great choice because he “goes under the radar”.
Keith on The Traitors. Ten.
“Keith talks so much, but it’s so little, there’s nothing he’s actually contributing. It’s such a perfect cover because he’s doing so much talking,” he said.
“He’s an investigator, he worked on the force and he didn’t really help out,” Ian reasoned.
Keith and Ian on The Traitors. Ten.
Why Ian believes he would have been a good Traitor
While Ian thinks Keith could have made it to the end as a Traitor, he also said that he would have loved to be on the scheming team.
“I probably would have got some more screen time if I was a Traitor,” he laughed.
Ian – who has over 2.3 million followers on TikTok – said that his background in content creation has trained him to be able to take on different roles, which would have been a great skill to have as a Traitor.
Ian Zaro. Instagram.
“I was hoping to be one because I’d get to be someone different. I can just mould my personality with whoever but I didn’t have a reason to [as a Faithful]. I was just like, ‘I’m here to scope out a traitor, that’s all I need to do’.”
If he was chosen as one, Ian said that he would be able to state his case more and have “a bit more fun”.
“If I was a Traitor I think I would have got to play the game a bit more but I wouldn’t be able to be so hilarious! I would play the game a bit more, be more social, and try harder to win the game.”
12 remain as The Traitors Australia 2023 continues on August 27 at 7:30pm on 10 and 10Play.
Cowgirl is yee-hawing her way onto The Masked Singer Australia 2023 stage.
Clues
August 23
In her first-look trailer, she braves judge Mel B’sSpice Girl track Wannabe!
The clues are a little vague on this one, BUT we do know Cowgirl is either a Grammy Winner (doubtful), reality TV queen or sporting superstar. Something to do with #farmlyfe perhaps?
Also, the dancers eating burgers is a bit on the nose, don’t ya think?! But could that be a clue also?!
The Masked Singer premieres soon on 10 and 10Play.
It’s episode four of The Traitors Australia and it’s doubtful whether this show’s going to last much longer because absolutely none of these contestants can figure out who the Traitors are.
Well, Luke and Annabel are the exception. However, they’re doing absolutely nothing about getting rid of the remaining Traitors Sam and Blake. So far, we’ve seen five Faithfuls and one Traitor eliminated, and – spoiler alert – tonight’s ep sure doesn’t help their odds.
At the beginning of episode four, viewers find out that shark attack survivor, and prominent social media personality, Paulhas been ‘murdered’ by the Traitors. Sam and Blake opted against recruiting another team member and decided to take out another Faithful instead.
At the breakfast, Sam pipes up about his involvement in Traitor Ash’s banishment to help prove his (fake) devotion to the Faithfuls. Basically, everyone aside from Luke and Annabel buys what he’s selling.
The Challenge
The challenge saw the remaining contestants head to a field where they were tasked with being asked questions about the game. However, the catch was that they had to make their way through an obstacle course and then stand by a marker with the correct answer to the question. But, if the question was wrong then a bunch of dirt blew up in their face.
The task was interesting enough thanks to Ian, who had a dramatic reaction every time he risked having more dirt explode in his face.
In the end, the red team won and they headed to the immunity challenge. This saw the remaining contestants shoot fire arrows at pirate ships with their co-star’s names on them. The last ship afloat won the Immunity Shield, which was Liam.
Who was banished?
It looked as though Annabel and Luke were ready to take their shot at Traitor Sam, however, they ended up voting for Liam. The ceremony turned into a showdown between Liam and Ian, but it was Ian it was sent home from the game.
When the content creator was asked what his status in the game is, he told the other contestants they were a “bunch of dumb arses” for choosing him, because he was a Faithful.
12 remain as The Traitors Australia 2023 continues on August 27 at 7:30pm on 10 and 10Play.
It’s episode eight of The Voice Australia and a soulful classic, disco banger and unique take on a coach’s own song, turned superstar Jason Derulo, Rita Ora, Guy Sebastian and Jessica Mauboy’s chairs.
Trisha Godinet, 31
Trisha Godinet performed At Last by Etta James. The 31-year-old revealed she hadn’t sung for seven years, with fear of rejection holding her back from auditioning for The Voice previously.
“You are one of the strongest performers this far on the stage. Australia did not come to play!” Jason said.
Trisha joined Team Jess.
Jayden Miranda, 29
Jayden Miranda took a risk performing coach Jason’s song Want To Want Me.
All four coaches turned their chairs with Jason saying: “Damn, that used to be my song!”
Jayden chose Team Guy.
Libby Worboys, 19
Libby Worboys performed a stripped-back version of Maniac by Michael Sembello. She turned three chairs, with Guy saying she had “a great storytelling voice.”
She chose Team Guy.
Brenda Bressed, 24
Drag queen Brenda Bessed performed Strong Enough, turning two chairs.
“You nailed it,” Guy said while Rita said: “This is what life is about! I’m living for you.”
Brenda chose Team Rita.
Other performances
Jake Lyle, 19 from Queensland, sang Frank Wildhorn’s This Is the Moment from the musical Jekyll & Hyde. He didn’t turn any chairs. Guy said it was harder to secure chair turns at this stage of the Blind Auditions explaining: “Our teams are almost full; you have to show a lot of angles of what you can do as a performer.”
Victorian brother and sister act Zac, 18, and Eliza, 20, performed Shania Twain’sFrom This Moment but didn’t turn any chairs.
Sam Harper’s took on Harry Styles’Late Night Talking with no takers.
Jomeca Lafaialli, also failed to gain the judges attention with her version of Marvin Gaye and Tammi Terrell’sAin’t No Mountain High Enough.
The Voice continues 7.00 pm on Sunday on Channel 7 and 7plus.
