MasterChef Australia couple Declan Cleary and Sarah Todd were the most unexpected pairing of the year, but together they’ve cooked up the best dish ever — twin girls! The foodies had an undeniable spark in the MasterChef kitchen, and soon shared a hard launch on Instagram.
For Sarah’s birthday, Declan shared a carousel of photos and told the world exactly what he thought of his girlfriend. “Every day with you reminds me how lucky I am to share my life with someone so full of heart. You have this quiet strength and kindness that grounds everyone around you, and I feel it most of all,” he wrote.
“You’ve brought so much love, laughter, and calm into my world. The way you care, the way you see people, and the way you move through life with such grace, it’s magical to be a part of. This year feels extra special, knowing everything that’s ahead for us.
“I’m so proud of the woman you are, and even more grateful that I get to walk beside you through it all. You’re my home, my best friend, here’s to you, to us, and to everything that’s still to come.”
The couple have travelled through Europe and India together, as well as taking a long road trip through Australia.
In October, Sarah thanked her friends and family for making her baby shower special, with particular thanks to Declan. “Dec, you went above and beyond pulling this whole thing together. Between the surprise details, the thoughtful touches, I’m still completely blown away,” she wrote on Instagram.
With that in mind, why don’t we take a look at some of Sarah and Declan’s cutest relationship moments? From their overseas trips to quiet moments with their newborn baby girls, grab a tissue because these two are so sweet it’ll make you cry.

Love Island Australia‘s Isabel Vella and Connor Deighton coupled up on the first day in the villa, and quickly appeared to be the show’s golden couple.
While some of the other singles demonstrated their lack of commitment by switching partners like musical chairs, Isabel and Connor only really had eyes only for each other.
However, the budding couple was dumped from the villa during a shock firepit ceremony on the November 24 episode. While it was Isabel who was eliminated, in a Love Island Australia first, Connor decided to leave the show alongside his partner, despite not being voted out.
Connor’s act paid off, as the pair are still together today and recently moved in together. These two are so in love, and we’re obsessed with them!

Are Love Island Australia’s Isabel and Connor still together?
Yes! The pair are now living together on the Gold Coast and spent Christmas with their families, while also showing off their relationship on social media.
“We love sharing our lives post-villa with you all! We’ve taken so many big steps, overcoming the biggest challenge of living interstate. The emotional rollercoaster of long distance is over,” Isabel wrote on Instagram. “We are so excited to not be separated anymore. Gold Coast, you have my heart. Can’t wait for this new chapter.”
In a round-up post looking back at 2025, Isabel also wrote a sweet paragraph about her “Connie baby”. These two are certainly head-over-heels for one another. “My Connie baby, you changed my life, taught me how to be loved, with patience, kindness, tenderness and compassion. I am in awe of you, and cannot wait to see where this life takes us. I finally know what they mean when they say ‘when you know you know’. So grateful for the changes in my life,” she wrote.
Connor also captioned a photo with Isabel as a “once in a lifetime love”, so he’s just as smitten. Awww. Could a proposal be coming soon?
When did Love Island Australia’s Isabel and Connor confirm their relationship?
They are! Isabel and Connor revealed in a post-elimination interview on the Love Island Australia podcast, Officially Unpacked, that they are moving in together, with Isabel relocating to the Gold Coast.
“This one’s going, she’s coming up to Goldie,” Connor told host Eoghan McDermott.
Isabel explained that she and Connor went travelling around Spain for two weeks after leaving the villa, before making the commitment to move.
“When we came out of the show together, we travelled around together, which was absolutely crazy,” she said. “Then I decided to move up to the Gold Coast. So we have our own place on the Broadwater. It’s beautiful. So I just saw it yesterday, so it was really nice.”
The couple confirm they’re in love during their first public appearance
Conor and Isabel made their first public appearance together at the TikTok awards, where they shared that they are happily in love.
“All loved up,” Connor told a reporter from Stan, joking that they’d signed a contract so they’ll be together for “at least twelve months.”
Izzy said she had an “out of body experience” during her Love Island dumping, with Connor adding that she “blacked out a bit” and doesn’t remember much.
“Going down [to the fire pit], there’s always a chance that one of you is going to go home, so I was already set in my ways, as you could probably tell that I was gone if Izzy went, and I’m pretty sure she was the same,” he said.
Isabel and Connor were spotted out together while the show was airing
While Love Island couples are not allowed to be seen together while the season is airing to avoid spoilers, it seems Isabel and Connor may have slipped up.
A fan spotted the pair out to lunch together on Monday, November 3. See for yourself below.
Another follower posted in the comments section that she saw them together recently on the Gold Coast, too.
“I saw them at the shops the other day on the GC, looking very happy,” they wrote.
Though Connor and Isabel are a relatively new couple, they already have shippers in the comments section of the lunch video.
“Alright, guys, this is good news. Make sure we vote for them to win, aight everyone?” one person wrote, while another added, “This is a good sign, I’d say!”

Married At First Sight (MAFS)star Olivia Frazer surprised fans when she announced her engagement to Greg Rutherford last week, and the rumour mill has gone into overdrive. The pair have only been dating for four months, with some of that time long-distance, so the MAFS star has taken to Instagram to address questions that have been coming up.
She revealed the pair met in September, but have had a “very intense four months” getting to know each other. “It feels like a lifetime, I feel like I know him like the back of my hand, he knows me just as well. We’re having a great, great, great, great time, best four months of my life,” Olivia said on her Instagram Story.
She also told fans that Greg is aware of her OnlyFans account and has even watched her on MAFS, confirming she wouldn’t try to hide any of that from a partner. “This is very public stuff. It’s very readily available information about me, I can’t hide that, plus I wouldn’t hide those things from my partner even if I could,” she said.
“He did watch a little bit of MAFS, he’s just not very gullible, so he didn’t believe everything that he saw on TV. He knows what shows like that are like.”
Olivia also shared that she’s stopped creating for OnlyFans, because it’s not something she wants to do while she’s in a relationship, but Greg knows “everything” about her past.
“He knows everything you guys, there’s no like, ‘gotcha’ moment coming for him. He knows it all, and he loves me,” she added.

Is MAFS’ Olivia Frazer pregnant?
Olivia Frazer also addressed the rumour she’s pregnant, and told fans to stop asking. “No, I’m not pregnant, it’s nearly 2026, we don’t ask women that anymore, it’s really rude,” she stated.
“I do love the compliments of saying that we’re going to have really pretty kids, though, so, not pregnant, hopefully one day, and yeah,” Olivia said. “Just don’t ask if somebody’s pregnant when you’re not sure. Or just don’t ask at all, because it’s rude.”
The MAFS star previously told Chattr she matched with Greg on Hinge due to a glitch. Her location was set to Scotland, while his was in Newcastle, but after their connection proved to be strong, she booked an earlier flight over to see him, and they soon fell in love.
“The spark was instantaneous. Within a week, I’d changed my flights so I could spend some time with him before my trip with my mum. When it’s so easy, you know it’s right,” she told us.
“We’re both just so in love and so happy about our engagement.”
We’re wishing these lovebirds all the best and can’t wait to see what’s next for the pair. Apart from the wedding, that is.
MAFS 2026 premieres on Monday, February 2 at 7.30pm on Channel 9 and 9Now.

MasterChef Australia‘s Declan Cleary and Sarah Todd have welcomed two baby girls. The couple announced their pregnancy in a sponsored Instagram post back in October.
In a joint Instagram post, Declan and Sarah revealed the names of their babies: Claudia and Charlotte.
“Claudia and Charlotte. Merry Christmas from our family to yours,” they wrote.
Their fellow MasterChef Australia contestants and judges were quick to wish the new family well, with Poh Ling Yeow saying congrats and calling them the “best cook[s] yet”.
“Welcome to the world, Claudia and Charlotte. What a wild and beautiful adventure you have ahead of you,” added Julie Goodwin.
“This is so sweet, congratulations beautiful family,” Emelia Jackson wrote.
“Congratulations you guys! Best Christmas presents ever. Lots of love and hugs,” fellow contestant Depinder Chhibber said.

Declan Cleary and Sarah Todd’s baby gender reveal
Previously, the pair posted a video of them playing golf, telling their followers that they’d pull a ball out of the hole, which would either be blue or pink, revealing the gender of their baby. However, in a happy twist, Declan and Sarah pulled out two pink balls.
As she was retrieving the balls, Sarah asked Declan, “What’s better than one girl?” to which he responded, “Two!”
The couple — who met while competing on the second season of MasterChef Australia Back to Win, which aired this year — first shared their exciting pregnancy news on Instagram.
“We are overjoyed to share that our little family is growing,” Sarah and Declan began the post, which clearly included the hashtags #ad and #ClearBlueConfirmed in their caption, indicating that it was a paid collaboration with the pregnancy test brand.
The post continued: “These past months have been some of the most precious of our lives. A sacred time of holding this news close, letting it sink in, and soaking up all the emotions with those dearest to us.
“It has been such a gift to sit in the wonder of it all, imagining the beautiful new chapter that lies ahead.
“We feel so deeply blessed knowing this little cherub will enter a world already brimming with so much love. Between us, Phoenix, and Sol, there is no shortage of cuddles, laughter, and warmth waiting to welcome the addition to our family.
“Our hearts are full to the brim, and we couldn’t be happier to finally share this joy with all of you. Thank you for being a part of this special moment in our lives. It means the world to us.”
At the time, neither Declan or Sarah included any information on how far along Sarah is, or if they’ve found out the gender. However, the post was quickly flooded with congratulatory messages from their MasterChefAustralia co-stars.
“Congrats you two,” Depinder Chhibber commented, with Rhi penning: “Congratulations guys! Love you both so much and feel completely blessed to be part of your loving journey. You guys are going to have the best time parenting and provide so much love and laughter to your growing family! Bursting with excitement! Literally could be happier for you both!”
Declan and Sarah’s relationship timeline
Declan and Sarah’s romance flourished while they were filming the most recent season of MasterChefAustralia.
In a post-elimination interview with Chattr, Sarah said that having Declan by her side in the competition helped push her to do her best.
“I was devastated seeing Declan getting eliminated,” she said. “He’s so talented and passionate about food, and has a lot of creativity in the kitchen.
“Selfishly, I was devastated for myself as well, having that joy in the kitchen, and to be able to walk out after a cook and [have him]. We were just, like, doing our workouts and just having a lot of fun outside of the kitchen. So it definitely relieved a lot of that pressure of the intensity of the competition, so it was definitely not a fun day.”
Sarah and Declan dated post-show and moved in together earlier this year.
“It’s all going amazing,” Sarah told Chattr. “We’ve moved into our house and are still unpacking boxes at the moment. So, I think, in life, moving house is one of the most stressful things, and we’ve managed to be unscathed and no arguments, so it’s going strong,” she laughed.
Home and Away’s golden couple, Sophie Dillman and Patrick O’Connor, are engaged! The pair shared matching Instagram posts to announce Patrick had popped the question on the beach, and Sophie tells Chattr it was the perfect way to cap off the year.
“It was a big surprise and the best way to end 2025 — we had been doing long distance for the best part of a year, and to finish that time off in such a special way is magical,” Sophie gushes. “He’s my best friend and created the perfect proposal.”
The on-and-off-screen couple (you might fondly know them as Ziggy Astoni and Dean Thompson) ended up doing long distance after Patrick had to stay in the UK for work while Sophie moved back home to Sydney. This sparked split rumours, which Patrick promptly shut down.
As for the proposal, Sophie found it challenging to get through without tears, and she was grateful for how much thought Patrick had put into it. “Thank god he got a photographer and wrote down what he said, because I was sobbing through the whole thing, so I had to re-read it when I calmed down,” she spills.
The engagement was captured by Sydney photographer JP Velarde, and Sophie’s stunning ring was crafted by Mendel Rose Fine Jewellery, which makes only 20 pieces per month.

Both Sophie Dillman and Patrick O’Connor shared Instagram posts of the proposal, with Sophie keeping the caption short and sweet. “Home has always been with you,” she wrote, along with a ring and heart emoji.
Not to be outdone, Patrick declared his never-ending love for Sophie. “Not all treasure is silver and gold mate. Soph I love you in this life, the next and forever,” he wrote.

Of course, their fellow Home and Away stars were quick to flood the comment section with well-wishes.
“Hey you, you’re incredible, and I could not be happier for you. This looks so romantic and loving. Thanks for giving us this moment to share,” Georgie Parker wrote.
“Awww loads of love to you both! How wonderful,” Lynne McGranger added.
“Congratulations Patrick and Sophie, THE BEST news!!!! Can’t wait to celebrate with you both. Love you both,” Sarah Roberts said.
“The richest feeling in the world!! HUGE CONGRATULATIONS ON YOUR LOVE TO YOU BOTH!!! Ahhhhhh!!!” Angelina Thomson wrote.
There were also comments from Home and Away’s Dan Ewing, Courtney Miller, Emily Weir, Juliet Godwin, Lukas Radovich, Zoe Ventoura and more.
The photos are gorgeous, and we couldn’t be happier for Home and Away’s favourite couple.

MasterChef Australia contestant Sav Perera has had a massive year, but she kept a big secret to herself. After being slammed with “health issue after health issue”, the reality TV star lost most of her hair and suffered damage to her kidneys.
In a post on Facebook, she detailed some of her health struggles, including getting the Chikungunya virus — spread via mosquitoes — which can cause sore joints, rash and fever. From that, she developed short-term arthritis and a temporary hair loss condition called telogen effluvium.
As if that wasn’t enough, Sav also had “irreversible damage” to her lymphatic system, leading to kidney damage. Yet, the chef hasn’t let the health battles break her spirit.
“2025 felt like 10 years within one year in many ways, but now that I am at the end, I look back at how incredible it actually has been. That despite the challenges, I’ve risen, I’ve fought back, I’ve surprised myself, and I’ve made time to give back a bit of the love that I so generously continue to receive,” Sav said. “Despite all the absolute quagmire of hellish stress thrown my way, I still find myself being grateful for all I managed to do.”
The MasterChef Australia star thanked her friends and family for their support, and said she would be too afraid to chase her dreams if it were not for them.
“My hope for myself for the coming year is that I dream bigger without fear, I chase those dreams relentlessly, that I know when to be still and take comfort in stillness, and I find another degree of kindness to show myself,” she added.

What did MasterChef’s Sav Perera achieve in 2025?
Despite Sav’s secret health battle, she still managed to do more than most during her jam-packed year. From competing on MasterChef Australia 2025 and becoming a host on MasterChef Sri Lanka, she also found time to cook.
Sav held a number of pop-up restaurants in Sri Lanka, Melbourne, Adelaide and Sydney, helmed different workshops and collaborated with brands. She also returned as the podcast host of You’re In Charge for a second season.
We wish Sav all the best and can’t wait to see what she does in 2026.

While her character Felicity is dead, Home and Away has been known to bring back previously deceased characters. Common soap storylines can involve a faked death or bringing an actor back as a secret twin, which could work for Felicity.
Jacqui isn’t opposed to returning to Summer Bay, saying she loved playing the spunky Felicity. “I love that job, and I love that character. So who knows, who knows what could happen?” she teases. “Never say never, that’s a good one, a good motto.”
The actor tells Chattr she can’t “speak more highly” about working on Home and Away, and genuinely seems to miss working on set. “It truly was the best job I’ve ever had,” she admits. “I will always have the friendships that I made there. I’ll never forget the work we did. It truly was incredible, and I loved every second of it.”
Jacqui didn’t go to acting school, so she treated her time on set like a crash course. “That [was] pretty much my uni, you know, I didn’t go to acting school,” she says. “I’m just so grateful to it, because I wouldn’t be here if it weren’t for that.”
She keeps in touch with lots of her Summer Bay family, including Stephanie Panozzo (Eden Fowler), Juliet Godwin (Bree Cameron) and Ethan (Tane). “We really were, or are still, a family. You make these bonds, and it’s so hard to walk away from that. So yeah, I’m always messaging, being like, ‘What’s going on?'” Jacqui adds.

What has Jacqui Purvis been working on since leaving Home and Away?
Jacqui has kept herself busy since departing Summer Bay, and is set to star in her first professional play produced by her own production company, Nic Nac Productions. In 2026, she will film Fear Is The Rider, also starring Star Wars: Rogue One’s Ben Mendelsohn, The Bikerider’s Toby Wallace and Babyteeth’s Eliza Scanlen.
She plans to head over to LA for parts of next year, and has appreciated advice from other actors trying to carve out a successful career in the industry. “Honestly, the biggest [piece of advice] is [to] follow your gut. There’s so many things that happen in this industry, so many voices, so many people telling you what to do [and] what not to do,” Jacqui says.
“I think the strongest thing is to just keep coming back to your gut and what you think is the right thing to do and trust that.”
You can see Jacqui in Danny and the Deep Blue Sea at The Old Fitz Theatre in Melbourne from January 13 to February 1. Tickets are available here.
George Mason is taking on the role of convicted Australian bank robber Brenden Abbott in Binge’s mini series RUN, who’s reported to have stolen and hidden millions of dollars from banks across WA, but the money’s largely never been recovered.
In an interview with Chattr, George revealed how he got inside the mind of the notorious criminal — and whether he spoke to Brenden personally to gain insight into the role.
“I couldn’t talk to Brendan, unfortunately, just because he was going through a trial at the time,” George told Chattr.
However, he revealed he did sit down with now-retired detective Glen Potter, who led the 1995 hunt to catch Brenden Abbott.
“Glen was actually one of the first people that I sat down with, too and actually recorded,” he said. “He just gave so many amazing facts. But I think more than anything, as well, I kind of learned that this story, even though it’s Brenden’s story, it’s quite a universal story as well. A lot of people have been failed by the system. I don’t think it works. It doesn’t. There’s no rehabilitation.”
George was referring to the fact that Brenden kept getting sentenced to jail, only to commit more robberies afterwards.
As well as talking to the detective, George revealed that he also found insight into Brenden’s mind by doing research into his story.
“There’s a wealth of information out there as well. I used the scripts, but also Derek Bell books, Training Outlaw and No Fixed Address, which, I think, yeah, they’re both really good resources.”
George on the biggest misconceptions about Brenden Abbott
George told Chattr that he hopes Run will help viewers understand that Brenden isn’t two-dimensional — and that he’s so much more than just a thief.
“I hope their misconceptions are sort of remedied by a show, in a way. I hope that they see this and have a deeper understanding, you know, of why people make the choices that they make,” he explained.
George added that he believes that Brenden regrets the choices he made.
“I know for a fact that Brenden would prefer to have been on the outside and not done the things that he did. If he could go back, he would have, because he wants to spend time with his son outside of prison.
“I just hope that [viewers] see all sides to the story, and don’t have any judgement on him, you know, or his story.”
After a turbulent time on Married At First Sight (MAFS), Season 9 contestant Olivia Frazer has finally found her happily ever after. The reality TV star just shared news of her engagement to Greg Rutherford on social media, and she tells Chattr their “spark was instantaneous”.
The couple initially met on Hinge when Olivia changed her location to Scotland in preparation for her trip there. Greg lives in Newcastle, which was outside her radius, so it sounds like fate intervened. “We later figured out Hinge had glitched because we shouldn’t have been within each other’s radius — Greg being in Newcastle and mine being set to Edinburgh,” she recalls.
“The spark was instantaneous. Within a week, I’d changed my flights so I could spend some time with him before my trip with my mum. When it’s so easy, you know it’s right.”
Fast forward four months, and the pair got engaged at a private garden in Newton Hall in England. “We’re both just so in love and so happy about our engagement,” Olivia gushes. “He took me to a private garden in Newton Hall here in the North East of England. Wrapped it up with a lovely pub dinner. Very us coded.”
The couple shared a snap on Instagram, with Olivia showing off her new bling. “You could say we are excited,” the caption read.
Olivia’s comment section was flooded by well-wishes from ex-MAFS contestants, including close friend Alyssa Barmonde, who wrote: “I AM CRYING!!!!! I love you both so much.”
“Congrats girl this is amazing, I’m happy for you,” added Hayley Vernon.
“Congratulations my girl that’s amazing,” said Cyrell Paule.
“So happy for you both!!” wrote Tahnee Cook.
Other MAFS stars that liked the post included Carolina Santos, Sierah Swepstone, Jacqui Burfoot, Dave Hand and Sandy Jawanda.

Olivia Frazer and Greg Rutherford’s relationship timeline
In a sweet video shared on TikTok, MAFS star Olivia Frazer took fans through every step of her relationship with Greg Rutherford, right from when they first matched on Hinge.
“I’ve met someone… it’s only been two days but I thought I’d better document it in case it goes well,” she said, before it cut to a video taken after their first FaceTime date. “We were on FaceTime for like six and a bit hours just… it sounds like the bar is in hell, but he didn’t try and make it a sexy call or anything, he’s such a gentleman,” she said.
Olivia then explained she moved her flight forward so she could meet Greg in person sooner, before cutting to a video revealing that the pair had made their relationship official. “We are now officially boyfriend and girlfriend, and I know that sounds nuts,” she said.
After a clip of Olivia on the train saying she was about to meet Greg in 20 minutes, the final clip included her fiancé. “Update, it’s been three months, and tonight we got engaged! Yay!” she said excitedly.
After all the lemons this MAFS star has had to deal with (we’re looking at you, Jackson Lonie), this story is almost enough to make us believe in love again.

I’m A Celebrity Australia 2025 contestant Harrison Reid previously told Chattr he had a suspicion the dishes were faked before he went on the show, but was quickly humbled. “That was horrible. It is real,” he declared. “If you think it looks bad, the smell was 1000 times worse. You cannot even comprehend how bad it was.”
With that in mind, why don’t we take a walk down memory lane and revisit some of the most memorable (and disgusting) Tucker Trials from I’m A Celeb Australia history?
Oozing Bull Testicle

Geordie Shore’s Charlotte Crosby was the definition of entertainment during I’m A Celeb Australia 2020, and her raw bull testicle challenge will go down in history.
During a brutal Tucker Trial, Charlotte had to down two raw bull testicles that were oozing blood. “I’ve got a ball in one hand and vomit in the other,” she exclaimed while gagging. The star wasn’t able to complete the challenge, but some fans applauded her for giving it a go.
MAFS’ Domenica struggled to eat a Cricket Ball, made from crickets and worms. “It’s not the worst thing I’ve had in my mouth,” she joked at the start, before starting to cry. “This is my worst nightmare on earth, honestly. I can’t. I hate it so much. It tastes so bad,” she cried.
BLT – Bum, Lips and Tongue sandwich

I’m A Celeb Australia winner Abbie Chatfield was forced to eat a BLT sandwich, made from bum, lips and tongue. While she managed to get the dish down, she didn’t last long before vomiting it back up into a bucket.
Former Big Brother Australia winner Reggie Bird, TikToker Max Balegde and The Bachelor’s Matty J gagged throughout the Jungle Bed and Breakfast Tucker Trial. Reggie was forced to drink a green spew-thie and chow down on cow’s penis, while Max looked like he was going to faint.
In a Tucker Trial some fans branded as “cruel”, Dave ‘Hughesy’ Hughes broke his 15-year vegan streak when he had to chow down on boar penis and lamb tongue. “It’s my first taste of meat in 15 years… we’re on like Donkey Kong,” Hughesy declared. “This is gonna make me a man.”
Grotty Lottery

Remember when former model Tziporah Malkah required medical attention straight after her first Tucker Trial called Grotty Lottery?
Along with Kris Smith, the star was placed in a moving tank which held around 10,000 insects such as worms, termites, crickets, ants… and cockroaches. One pesky cockroach decided to nest in Tziporah’s ear, so a medic had to step in and remove it. “I wasn’t making it up. I wasn’t a sook, there was a cockroach in my ear,” she said on the show.
Hole In One Mouthful
I’m A Celebrity’s Callum Hole had a near-breakdown when he was presented with a whole raw pig’s snout during the Hole In One Tucker Trial. “What is that! What is it? It looks like a fish!” he yelled. “How is that a pig’s nose? That’s a pig’s nose! I can see it’s teeth. I’m not overreacting am I?”
His dish was only worth one star, but Callum sucked it up (literally) and took one for the team.
Bottoms Up!

Comedian Peter Helliar had to tuck into a dish of hot wings made from pigs’ anuses in a spicy chilli sauce. “It’s very nice, I recommend it,” Peter joked. His eyes watered, and he struggled to get the anus rings down.
Eat It or Wear It

During a challenge on I’m A Celeb Australia 2017, some campmates were covered in truly awful substances. Tziporah Malkah was drenched in chicken intestines, Nazeem Hussain was drowned in blended fish guts, an octopus and cow’s blood, and Tom Arnold was covered with offal and ostrich eggs.
Safari Spa
Freddie Flintoff during the Safari Spa Tucker Trial. Image: 10
The very first winner of I’m A Celeb Australia in 2015 was Freddie Flintoff, and his Safari Spa Tucker Trial was one to remember. The spa included being sprayed with yellow slime, covered in manure, and having a ‘facial’ consisting of elephant poo, maggots and water.
“I used to captain England in the cricket, I’ve met the Queen three times, now look at me. I’ve got dung on my head,” he exclaimed.
Brooke McClymont had to down a number of questionable birthday party items during a particularly gross Tucker Trial, but who on earth came up with Urinade? The cute glass bottle contained a potent carbonated cow’s urine that you could almost smell through the screen.

Love her or hate her, there’s no denying that Married At First Sight (MAFS)star Jessika Power is top-tier reality TV entertainment. After getting wine thrown at her on MAFS 2019, she went on to compete on Big Brother Australia VIP, Celebrity Ex on the Beach, Celebs Go Dating and is part of the cast of Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins Australia 2026.
With rumours of a MAFS All Stars season floating about and multiple former cast members putting their hands up to join, would Jessika be keen? According to the star, she’s game and wants to use her newfound maturity.
“There have been a lot of rumours about it, haven’t there? I would definitely do it. I think it’d be fun,” Jessika tells Chattr. “I would do MAFS again. I think I’ve matured a lot from it, my journey on MAFS was quite… full of turmoil… it was a rocky boat. And I was quite young when I did that show.”
The OnlyFans creator says she didn’t take “the journey as seriously” when she was 27, but six years later, she could approach it in a different way. There’s only one caveat: her nemesis (and wine-thrower) Cyrell Paule can’t be involved.
“I just wouldn’t want to be in a room with her. I’d just happily let the contract go,” Jessika declares.

Jessika Power’s advice for theMAFS 2026 cast
As somebody who has been in the public eye since 2019, Jessika warns the MAFS 2026 cast to make sure they don’t have any “skeletons” in the closet, and not to deflect. “Be yourself and own up if you do something wrong,” she says.
“When I came off MAFS, I owned all my stuff. I owned everything. And Mick came to me probably about six months later and he said, ‘You know what… I actually respect the fact that you’ve not tried to lie or back out, or try to sugarcoat things. You just owned it.’ So you just own your shit really, and don’t have any skeletons in your closet, because I guarantee they’ll get dug up.”
Channel Nine hasn’t set a premiere date for MAFS 2026 yet, but based on previous years, it’s likely to start airing around Monday, January 26, 2026.
You can stream MAFS on 9Now.

It’s the most wonderful time of the year… which means Christmas is here, and so is the magic that comes to life on screens. Lucky for you, we’ve rounded up the best must-watch Christmasmovies, so you don’t have to spend hours deciding which to binge.
Whether you’re single and picturing yourself as the star of a Hallmark Christmas movie, or dreaming of playing the big man himself, Christmas is when movie magic truly comes alive. It’s a time to remember that just because you can’t see something, it doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist.
As a true dreamer and believer, here’s what I recommend for your ultimate Christmas watch list.
Our full ranking of the best Christmas movies and where you can watch them
1. The Santa Clause (1994)

Coming in at number 1 on our must-watch list is, of course, The Santa Clause! This beloved Christmas classic is full of nostalgia, magic, and holiday cheer. It tells the story of a divorced dad, played by Tim Allen, who accidentally becomes Santa Claus, proving that sometimes the most unexpected events can bring about the most magical moments.
Home Alone 2: Lost in New York. Image: Disney Plus.
Okay, let’s settle one of the biggest debates in Christmas movie history: which Home Alone is better?
Honestly… I think Home Alone 2: Lost in New York just sneaks ahead of the first one. Why? Well, Macaulay Culkin, who stars as Kevin, is lost in New York, a city full of wonder, curiosity, and, of course, holiday magic.
No matter how many times you watch this classic, you’ll be in tears of laughter—I swear. If you haven’t seen it yet, get it on your must-watch list now… You can thank me later!
Arguably one of the most magical Christmas movies ever, The Grinch is a reminder of what the holiday season is really all about.
Jim Carrey brings the mischievous green grump to life like no one else, making us laugh, cringe, and ultimately warm our hearts all at once in the centre of Whoville. Whether you love him for his hilarious antics or his eventual heart-growing redemption, this one’s a Christmas must-watch.
Another movie overflowing with magic and wonder, The Polar Express is a Christmas favourite for a reason.
Starring Tom Hanks in multiple roles, it has become a Christmas Eve tradition for many families to watch the magic unfold as the train whisks its passengers away on an unforgettable journey to the North Pole.
At its heart, it’s a gentle reminder that Christmas magic is everywhere… but only if you truly believe. Cosy, nostalgic, and full of festive feels, this one never gets old.
Remember when I said ‘picture yourself in a Christmas romance’? Well, this is the one for you.
When two women, Cameron Diaz as Amanda from Los Angeles and Kate Winslet as Iris from England, swap homes for the holidays to escape heartbreak, sparks fly in the most unexpected ways. Add in Jude Law’s charming British gent and Jack Black’s hilarious, awkward sidekick energy, and you’ve got a Christmas love story that’s equal parts cosy, funny, and heartwarming.
Grab your hot chocolate and your blanket, it’s time for all the holiday feels.
Okay, hear me out, new Christmas movies can sometimes struggle to hit that nostalgia sweet spot, but The Christmas Chronicles (both 1 & 2) absolutely nail it.
Kurt Russell as Santa? Iconic. Goldie Hawn as Mrs Claus? Pure perfection. Throw in some wild adventures, laugh-out-loud moments, and a sprinkle of holiday mischief with cheeky mystical elves, and you’ve got a modern Christmas classic that somehow feels like it’s been part of your festive life forever.
Okay, let’s talk about Last Christmas. This one’s basically holiday magic wrapped in a rom-com. Emilia Clarke is totally charming as Kate, a woman stuck in a rut, and Henry Golding? Swoon-worthy as always. Set against the sparkling streets of London at Christmas, this film has laughs, romance, and a little sprinkle of heart-tugging magic that’ll make you believe in the season again.
This beautiful movie makes us believe that things really do happen for a reason and that we are really all connected in ways we sometimes don’t even realise. P.S. Have your tissues at the ready, you’ll need them!
If there’s one Christmas movie that guarantees laughs from start to finish, it’s Elf. Will Ferrell is pure chaos and joy as Buddy, a human raised by elves who travels to New York in search of his real father.
From maple syrup on spaghetti to spreading Christmas cheer at every turn, this movie is silly, heartwarming, and endlessly quotable. It’s the kind of film that instantly puts you in a festive mood; no matter how many times you’ve seen it, it never stops being funny.
Now, this one will either be loved or hated. And personally? I love it. If you’re a sucker for typical romance, a touch of magic, and all the classic Christmas clichés, this one’s for you.
Starring Kat Graham as Abby and Quincy Brown as Josh, the story centres around a mysterious advent calendar that may (or may not – it totally does) predict the future. It’s cheesy, festive, and totally bingeable. Is it predictable? Yes. Is it still perfect for a cosy night in with a blanket and hot chocolate?
Meet Sloane (Emma Roberts) and Jackson (Australia’s own Luke Bracey), two people who absolutely hate the holidays. They’re always single, stuck at the kids’ table, or suffering through painfully awkward dates, so when they meet during one particularly disastrous Christmas, they strike up a genius deal. The plan? Be each other’s “holidate” for every major celebration over the next year.
With zero romantic expectations and a shared dislike for all things festive, they’re the perfect team… or so they think. As the year of crazy celebrations rolls on, the lines start to blur, and they quickly realise that bonding over everything they hate might just turn into something they love. Funny, relatable, and unexpectedly sweet, this one’s a must-watch, especially with Luke Bracey flying the Aussie flag.
And there you have it—your top 10 Christmas movies you absolutely need to watch this holiday season. Whether you’re all about the laughs, the romance, or the heartwarming holiday magic, these movies have got you covered. After all, it is the season to believe in a little magic.
From exes entering the villa and chaotic couple switch-a-roos to shock dumpings and almost half the prize money being stolen, Love Island Australia 2025 had it all — and in the end, it was Kye and Yana who were crowned the winners.
Now with the seventh season wrapped, fans are wondering if Love Island Australia will be returning in 2026, and narrator Eoghan McDermott has confirmed the show will be returning during the final podcast, Officially Unpacked.
“Thank you to our live audience for being with us, thank you to all of our finalists, minus Jotham, our special guest Bailey and particularly our winners of Love Island Australia 2025, Kye and Yana, for being with us. We will see you next year, vamos, goodbye, and here’s to us,” he said at the end of the episode.
So, with Eoghan’s pointed reference to returning next year, it’s safe to say that we’ll have a whole batch of new Islanders in the Spanish villa in 2026.
However, Channel 9 hasn’t officially confirmed that Love Island Australia has been renewed, but this normally happens in the first half of the year before filming kicks off, so stay tuned!

How to apply for Love Island Australia 2026
Casting isn’t open for Love Island Australia 2026 on the show’s official website, but based on this year’s timing, that will likely kick off in March.
However, the show’s executive producer, Caroline Johnson, told the official podcast that applications are always open, and hopefuls can apply “right now”.
Love Island Australia uses a combination of scouting and applications to make up the cast; however, Caroline revealed that the majority of Islanders are usually singles who have actually applied for the show.
“I would say probably 85 to 90% of people actually apply,” she revealed.
“We do scout people, [too]. So we do a lot of like, target casting, so that’s online, usually on Instagram, TikTok, whatever platform that we find you on. And we do actually still do face-to-face in the street. I have been known to run down the street after people, going, ‘Are you single?'” She laughed.
The production company behindBig Brother Australia, Endemol Shine, has refuted claims by TV Blackbox that the show’s finale result was manipulated by producers.
The publication claimed that producers from Endemol Shine specifically instructed Allana and Bruce to say “yes” to any challenge that arose during the live finale. It also alleged that Coco was told to say no to the car challenge, as she already had enough votes to win and taking part could have forced her to leave immediately, a move that would have handed the win to Emily.
However, in a statement to Chattr, an Endemol Shine spokesperson has refuted the above claims.
“The claims made regarding the production of Big Brother Australia are false. Interactions in the diary room are limited to standard production, safety, and housemate welfare. The integrity of Big Brother and its results were never compromised,” they said.
What happened in the Big Brother Australia 2025 finale?
The Big Brother finale saw Emily, Bruce, Alanna, Coco and Colin all make it to the final day.
Those five contestants were presented with the option to compete in a challenge, which would see one of them win a car, but that person would be immediately eliminated. Alanna and Bruce took their chances and Alanna walked away with a new Suzuki Jimny XL, valued at over $40,000.
After Alanna left the house, it was announced that Bruce was in fourth place and Colin in third. Emily came runner-up, and Coco was announced the winner of Big Brother Australia 2025 and received $135,000 prize money.
“My immediate plans right now is to give my kids a really beautiful Christmas. I didn’t get to spend Christmas with them last year, so that’s my immediate plan. And then everything else is towards their future,” Coco told Chattr of how she plans to spend her winnings.
Holly Young and Colin Ridley developed an instant connection in the Big Brother Australia house, with the aspiring MMA fighter letting Holly wear his t-shirt during the first night. Their relationship continued to blossom, with the couple being told off for their increasing PDA during an overblown intervention.
Now that the dust has settled and the pair are back in the real world, are Holly and Colin still together after Big Brother Australia? According to some social media snaps, the pair seem smitten, and they’re definitely acting like a couple.
Colin and Holly have been spending a bunch of time together, and recently attended a premiere of Anaconda along with ex-housemate Michael Downs. In a TikTok video, Colin called Holly his “bub” at a bar as they listened to some music.
Plus, the Big Brother Australia stars shared a coffee date a week ago and were seen hanging out in a hotel room.
Big Brother’s Holly gushes about Colin
Holly previously told Chattr she was drawn to Colin instantly, and while she felt “judged” by the other housemates, her true personality could come out in his company. “The loyalty was there from the start. And I think the more we started communicating and talking with each other, the closer we sort of got,” Holly said.
“I think if people see Colin and I walking down the street, no one would bat an eyelid,” she added. “I don’t think people would be judging us if we weren’t under the microscope, that we were in Big Brother’s house, and I think that’s something to be actually proud of, the fact that we were able to get through the obstacles and still be proud of each other and have such kind words to say.”

When Holly left the house, she said the pair had a “plan” for how to make their relationship work on the outside. “I think we just want to see each other. Just recap everything. We’re going to binge-watch the entire season together,” she spilled.
“[We will] have a big laugh about it all and just enjoy the summer and all the special moments that we created and experienced on the show, and we both have a very positive outlook on life and what that’s going to look like together.”
It seems like these two are still going strong, and while it’s unexpected, we kind of dig it. Congrats to Holin, Colly, or whatever their couple name is.
This is regularly done on reality TV shows for multiple reasons, including to stop the contestants from going rogue and spoiling the ending, and to shield them from harsh fan messages that may land in their inboxes.
However, while the on-screen drama has wrapped with the finale airing on Monday, December 15th, the post-show chaos is about to kick off online, as the Islanders are getting control of their social media accounts back very soon.

When will the Love Island Australia 2025 cast regain access to their social media accounts?
During an appearance on the show’s official podcast Love Island Australia Officially Unpacked, Yana spilt the beans on when the cast will be able to access their social media again, confirming it’s today, December 18th!
When asked by host Eoghan McDermott how life’s been without access to social media, Jaide said that she welcomed the break.
“I personally loved it. I think it’s a good escape from all of the noise. We see everything online, and I feel like having our Instagrams on top of that as well, while the show is airing, I feel like it just would have been a lot. So, I’ve enjoyed this little break, but I’m excited to get it back for sure.”

Did any of the Islanders get their social media accounts back earlier?
While the Love Island Australia finalists are yet to post anything online post-finale, it appears some of the cast who were eliminated earlier have already regained access.
On Tuesday, December 16th, Lacey went on an IG posting spree and spilled some tea about her time on the show.
During an AMA (Ask Me Anything) on Instagram, she confirmed that the phones the Islanders used in the villa were offline, and that the cast had their social media accounts taken over by production.
“We didn’t have our phones in the villa. We only had the villa phones to receive texts and take pics. And yes, during the airing of the show is when we had our socials taken over,” she wrote.
Jotham and Jaide may have been the newest couple in the Love Island Australia finale, but in that time, they already locked things in and went exclusive.
However, things turned sour for the couple shortly after they left the villa, with Jaide revealing details about Jotham going back to the woman he was dating before the show.
Of course, Love Island Australia was pre-recorded, and filming wrapped months ago, so a lot of drama has gone down in that time. Scroll on to find out what happened to Jotham and Jaide’s relationship after they left the villa.
Did Jotham have a girlfriend while he was in the Love Island villa?
In a post-finale interview, Love Island winners Yana and Kye revealed that Jotham had broken up.
“I don’t think Jotham and Jaide are [together anymore],” Yana told Chattr.
Now Jaide has confirmed that she and Jotham have split and said he had a girl who he was dating on the outside while he was in the villa.
During an interview on the show’s official podcast Love Island Australia Officially Unpacked, Jaide explained that she and Jotham spent a few romantic days together in Spain after filming wrapped, but his communication dropped off when they got back to Australia.
“I think he definitely had someone before, and then it didn’t take him long to go back straight to that person again,” she said.
Jaide explained that Jotham’s decision to go on the show despite being involved with someone else made her angry.
“I was like, why are you even going on Love Island? Like you’re saying, you’re not here for clout. You’re saying you don’t want to be an influencer. You say you don’t care if you win. Like, what? What are you doing? Like, why are you even here if you’ve got someone back at home?”
Despite Jotham’s questionable actions, Jaide said she’s seen him a few times and they’re on amicable terms.
“I can’t be bothered holding grudges. I would rather, personally, kind of just leave him, and let him do his thing,” she said, adding: “Obviously, I was so hurt at the time, and it’s hard.”
Jotham was expected to appear on the podcast, but claimed he missed his flight.
Who is Jotham’s ‘secret girlfriend?
In November, Gabby was asked by TikToker Olan Tekkers why her then on-screen partner Jotham wasn’t at an event with her, and she claimed he was “at home with his girlfriend that he had the whole time throughout the whole show”.
Gabby doubled down on her claims, telling Chattr in an interview that the other male islanders told her about the woman.
“He told all the boys that he had a girl on the outside. The boys told it back to me,” she said.
When viewers watched Yana and Kye be crowned the winners of Love Island Australia 2025, the couple didn’t actually know they’d won at the time, as each pair of finalists pre-recorded a winning segment. Instead, they found out at a watch party in Sydney, which they had with their castmates, including Gabby, Isabel, Connor, and Yana’s bestie, Jamie-Lee.
That revelation explains why the couple weren’t overly excited in the aired segment, with Kye simply saying he was “shocked” and Yana adding that it was “crazy”.
However, in a post-win interview with Chattr, Yana revealed that there was another reason they were so surprised when host Sophie Monk called their name.
“It was a bit awkward,” she said. “But when Kye and I got called, we actually didn’t realise it was our turn. We thought that I was going to do Jotham and Jaide again, so it was a bit of a shock to us in a way.
“We were like, oh, it’s us now? It was definitely weird not knowing if we actually won or not,” she laughed.
Many Australian reality TV shows stage endings for all the finalists to ensure that the final vote doesn’t get spoiled. The pre-recorded ending was particularly important for Love Island Australia, which isn’t filmed live, but has the winner decided by public vote.
While the couples are still in the villa in Spain, the show records a winning ending for each finalist. Once the votes are counted, the network simply airs the pre-recorded segment for the winning couple.
Love IslandUS and UK are filmed live, and the Australian version only switched to a pre-recorded format in 2022.
During an interview on the show’s official podcast Love Island Australia Officially Unpacked, creative director Alex Mavroidakis explained that the switch to a pre-recorded format was for logistical reasons.
“Love Island Australia is commissioned by Channel Nine for November and December,” he began. “They want to shoot it in Europe, but it’s bloody freezing in Spain during those months, so we have to shoot it in the European summer. That’s the only way to make the show work.”
He added that Channel Nine only broadcasts Love Island Australia from Monday to Thursday, so if the show were aired live, there would be three extra days of content with no time slot, pointed out that “it’s either this or nothing.”
Jacqui Purvis captured Home and Away fans’ hearts with her stint on the soap as Felicity Newman, the fierce yet vulnerable character who had an epic love story with Tane Parata (Ethan Browne). When she was killed off in August 2024 with a surprise brain aneurysm, viewers were devastated to see her go, but interested to see where her acting talents would take her.
After taking some time to work on her screen career and travelling to the USA — she’s been cast in a big film Fear Is The Rider — Jacqui has made a surprising decision to return to Australia for her first professional theatre role. The actor founded her own production company NicNac Productions to “flip the script on female narratives”, and wants to create more strong female-led content.
Her new play, Danny and the Deep Blue Sea written by John Patrick Shanley, will be playing at The Old Fitz Theatre in Melbourne from January 13 until February 1, 2026. It’s a gritty, violent and romantic play featuring two characters, with the other lead played by Jacqui’s real-life boyfriend JK Kazzi.
“It’s kind of dangerous, it’s emotional, it’s kind of violent, but it’s also got romance and at the base of it, it’s love. It’s about love and connection… and I thought it was a really great time to do it at the moment, because we’ve kind of drifted from human connection,” Jacqui tells Chattr.
Jacqui chose to produce Danny and the Deep Blue Sea partly because her character, Roberta, is such a strong female character who breaks out of the boxes so many are placed in. “Everything’s put out onto the table… all your dirt, and grit, and messiness, and everything. I think that’s what I love about strong female characters, the messiness, and I don’t want to shy away from that because that is a part of us,” she explains.
When the former Home and Away star was growing up, she had a passion for sports and action films, but failed to see herself reflected in many of the roles, joking she wanted to be Matt Damon. This has influenced her ethos going forward, and it’s why she plans to make a change. “I wanted to see strong, gritty female characters on the screen and to reflect me, you know, my life growing up. So that’s a really strong driving force of mine. So everything I do is kind of motivated by that,” she says.

The passionate star is laser-focused on her career and achieving her goals, and while preparing for Danny and the Deep Blue Sea, she travelled with JK to New York, as the show is set in The Bronx. While she was there, the writer John Patrick Shanley agreed to meet for coffee. He’s won Oscars, Pulitzers, Tony Awards, Golden Globes and more, so Jacqui was grateful he made the time to answer their questions.
“[It] was so surreal, because here’s this incredible writer who’s shaped modern theatre and [worked] with Meryl Streep and Philip Seymour Hoffman and Viola Davis… and we actually got a lot of his insight into him writing it, why he wrote it, the characters who were very personal to him,” Jacqui recalls.
“We actually then travelled to the Bronx and went to the area that he kind of grew up and got a feel for that culture,” she adds.
Jacqui calls her new play a “massive challenge”
Going from the screen to stage is no easy feat, especially when you’ve been working with multiple co-stars and storylines that don’t revolve around your character, like Jacqui had on Home and Away. She tells Chattr she was searching for something to push her out of her comfort zone.
“I’m so used to that beautiful big ensemble at Home and Away and having so many voices, whereas here it’s literally just JK and I,” Jacqui says. “It’s so intimate, we’re on the stage 100% of the play, where we never leave the stage. For that one hour and 15 [minutes] you’ve jsut got us the whole time, so there’s no way out for us.
“It’s a massive challenge, but that’s why I wanted to do it, because it is so different from Home and Away.”
Danny and the Deep Blue Sea is playing at The Old Fitz Theatre in Melbourne from January 13 to February 1. You can purchase tickets here.
Love Island Australia winners Yana and Kye were left with a $30,000 prize after Dylan took $20,000 from the pot during the ‘Love or Money’ challenge, and Yana has revealed what the two-time Islander spent the money on.
The challenge, which took place in the final week, saw host Sophie Monk offer the remaining Islanders a cash prize of $20,000, but taking it meant they’d have to leave the villa immediately. Dylan decided to take the cash and bail, meaning his partner, Kodi, was dumped as well.
During the Truth Bike segment, which aired in the finale, Kodi was asked if Dylan had split the money with her, to which she replied “No”. Dylan jumped in and said she could expect some, but Yana has since confirmed that he chose to keep it all for himself.
“He didn’t even give her anything. He sent a photo of his new car to our group chat, showing off what he spent it on, and we all just had a crack at him being like, ‘You’re a dog,'” Yana told Chattr. “It’s also a sh**tbox.”
Yana’s revelation about Dylan is especially interesting, considering that he told 9Now that he is using the money to fly home to Ireland to see his sister,
“My sister lost her baby this year and she wants to fly home to mum. That’s all she wants to do but her and her boyfriend are getting sponsored so it’s a lot of money. I’m gonna pay for flights in February to spend three weeks at home with mum,” Dylan told the publication.
What will Kye and Yana spend their Love Island prize money on?
Kye and Yana’s portion of the prize money was considerably lower than previous seasons, thanks to Dylan’s move.
While Kye told Chattr that it was frustrating that the amount had been reduced, he understands why Dylan made the choice he did.
“It made sense for him to take it; there were three solid couples in the end, and it was probably the right decision in the moment. But, also, now that we have won, it’s a bit disappointing.”
Yana added that it’s “a bit s**t now that we’ve won.”
Kye pointed out that Yana was clearly a fan favourite this season, and for that reason, he wants the money to be spent on her.
“Yana’s now made a massive Christmas list, with a lot of Louis Vuitton on it, and I think we winning was definitely because of her, so I think I’ll treat her for Christmas this year,” he said.
