Fortunately for us, the entire cast has now been revealed. YAY! While a few fan faves are back for the new instalment, there’s also a bevvy for fresh faces amongst the crew.

This season, they’ll work on the mega yacht Katina, sailing wildly rich charter guests around the Seychelles in Africa.

Lara Rigby has been working in the yachting industry for 14 years. Interestingly, in her Bravo bio, she admitted that she knows “Chef Jono [Shillingford] well from Below Deck Mediterranean Season 9″. Could it be a past boatmance?

Bosun Wihan Du Toit

According to his Bravo bio, South African bosun Wihan Du Toit already knows former Below Deck stars Lara Du Preez and Kyle Viljoen. With his rugged good looks and double stripes, he’s giving off Below-Deck-Mediterranean-bosun-Joao–Franco vibes.

Deckhand Harry Van Vliet

Harry Van Vliet, who was a deckhand in Below Deck Down Under Season 2, will be back on our screens this year. The Sydney deckie has been in the industry for four years and had a tryst with Margot Sisson last season.

Margot and Harry bonded after he supported her during a shocking sexual misconduct incident on Below Deck Down Under Season 2.

Deckhand Johnny Arvanitis

Deckhand Johnny Arvanitis has nine years of experience in yachting and enjoys hiking, spearfishing, reading books, and playing paddle in his spare time.

With just two years in the industry, deckie Adair Werley is relatively green. However, according to her Bravo bio, she “loves drinking beer and playing pool”. So, it sounds like she’ll fit right in.

Stew Marina Marcondes

Stewardess Marina Marcondes hails from Brazil and has worked on yachts for four years. In her Bravo bio, she said that her job “puts a ‘pause’ button on your bills and a crazy increase for your bank accounts”. Which… sounds like a sweet deal.

Stew Brianna Duffield de Barros

Brianna Duffield de Barros has only been in yachting for two years, but with her favourite hobbies listed in her Bravo bio as “free diving, tying knots, surfing, and making the best cocktails”, it’s as if she was born for the job.

Below Deck Down Under Season 3 will air from February 4 on Hayu.

Is the Block’s Kylie about to launch an OnlyFans?

by Athina Mallis

The Block 2024’s controversial Kylie Baker is rumoured to launch an OnlyFans account after posting racy pics on her Instagram.

Posted to her non-The Block private Instagram account, Kylie showed off her body in a bikini, revealing her midriff.

She captioned the post, “New Year resolutions? #welcometoyourlife #2025 #cairns #summer.”

While she hasn’t officially confirmed the launch of her OnlyFans, some of her followers are adding fuel to the fire with one comment reading,: “Waiting for the OF”. OF, meaning OnlyFans.

Kylie Baker from The Block's Instagram picture has started OnlyFans rumours

Following the “flirtgate” scandal on The Block 2024, rumours have been swirling about Kylie launching an OnlyFans account.

ICYMI, Brad Baker flirted with fellow contestant Mimi Belperio while Kylie took a nap. During the following episode, Brad admitted that he said “inappropriate” things to Mimi, including that he would follow her OnlyFans account.

Since the season ended, speculation has grown over whether or not Brad and Kylie are still together.

Are Kylie and Brad still together?

It seems as if things may be rocky for the controversial Block couple.

On Kylie’s private Instagram, her bio lists the four children she shares with Brad and says she resides in Cairns. However, Brad’s name isn’t there. The only online link to Brad that Kylie has is their public The Block Instagram profile.

During Kylie’s stint on The Block, she and Brad had a tumultuous run. Kylie left the show twice. The first time was due to Brad flirting with fellow The Block contestant Mimi Belperio. The second time Kylie quit The Block was after receiving a low score for their house.

“I’m not wasting my time here anymore. I’m not. We’re not,” she told Brad after receiving the lowest total score of 26.

“I hate this man so fucking much,” Kylie said about host Scott Cam.

With Kylie possibly launching an OnlyFans, maybe there is trouble in paradise? Or perhaps she is just getting her bag!

Who are the Australian Idol hosts? Everything we know about the powerhouse duo

by Athina Mallis

Australian Idol 2025 is just weeks away where Aussies will sing their hearts out in hopes of becoming the next superstar, but who are the hosts of this season?

TV personalities Ricki-Lee Coulter and Scott Tweedie are returning to the stage; the duo have been the hosts of Australian Idol since 2023, when the show was rebooted.

Ricki-Lee and Scott Tweedie will be hosting alongside Australian Idol judges Kyle Sandilands, Marcia Hines and Amy Shark.

But what do we know about them? Here is everything you need to know about the Australian Idol hosts Scott and Ricki-Lee.

Get to know Australian Idol 2025 host Ricki-Lee Coulter

It’s safe to say that Ricki-Lee is very familiar with Australian Idol—she actually rose to fame from her stint on the second season of the reality singing competition back in 2004.

While she didn’t become an Australia Idol winner — the crown went to Casey Donovan for her season — she’s definitely one of the most memorable contestants throughout the show’s run.

It seems very full circle that she is one of the Australian Idol hosts!

Ricki-Lee is multi-faceted and more than just a presenter. She’s a singer, co-host of the Ricki-Lee, Tim and Joel show on Nova, and a McHappy Day ambassador.

Also, who can forget her absolute bop, Can’t Touch It? Released back in 2007, it went platinum and was featured in the Sex and the City 2 trailer. Watch the music video below for a hit of noughties nostalgia!

Career aside, Ricki-Lee is a loved-up lady. She is married to her manager, Richard Harrison.

The pair met through friends, and according to Who, the first time he saw her, she was skulling a beer! But, it was love at first sight, and the couple got engaged in January 2013 and tied the knot in 2015 at Château Bouffémont in Paris. Très bien!

Get to know Australian Idol 2025 host Scott Tweedie

If you were a kid growing up in the 2000s, you’d probably know Scott as Scotty from the ABC kid’s show Prank Patrol. Remember the ones with the ninjas?!

But, Scott is more than just an Australian Idol host. Based in LA, Scott is a DJ, presenter and the co-founder of Roo Mates, a global entertainment company that encompasses live events, TV, and digital media production.

Scott has previously hosted the music video show The Loop and has been a presenter on the E! Network.

He is also the founder of Aussie Christmas in LA, a yearly event held in July where Australians living in La La Land can come together to celebrate Christmas in July. In 2024, the event was held at the Santa Monica Pier.

New Zealand comedian Urzila Carlson is starring in Kinda Pregnant with Amy Schumer

by Amy Shapiro

Amy Schumer’s upcoming Netflix film, Kinda Pregnant, is set to debut this February, and guess who’s in it? None other than (honorary) Aussie and comedy queen Urzila Carlson! 

Here’s everything we know about the star-studded movie and Urzila’s role that’s sure to bring the laughs.

Who is Urzila Carlson?

Urzila was born in South Africa but moved to New Zealand in 2006, and since built a reputation as a comedic powerhouse. With her quick wit and signature deadpan style, she’s won hearts on both sides of the Tasman.

She’s also made herself a staple of the Australian small screen, where you’ve probably grown to love her on popular shows like The Project, Studio 10, Spicks and Specks, Orange Is the New Brown, Have You Been Paying Attention?, Hughesy, We Have a Problem, and as a panelist on two seasons of The Masked Singer.

What is Kinda Pregnant about?

Directed by Tyler Spindel, Kinda Pregnant stars Amy as Lainy, a woman who starts wearing a fake baby bump, driven by jealousy of her best friend’s pregnancy. But during her scheme, she accidentally meets the man of her dreams.

As The Hollywood Reporter notes, Spindel worked with a script penned by Schumer and Julie Paiva. The film’s all-star cast includes Jillian Bell, Will Forte, Damon Wayans Jr., Brianne Howey, Alex Moffat, Joel David Moore, Lizze Broadway, Francis Benhamou, and, of course, Urzila!

On her Facebook, Urzila described the movie as “the romantic comedy meets horror and friendship and dumpster cupcakes that you’ve been waiting for!”.

Amy Schumer as Lainy, Urzila Carlson as Fallon and Jillian Bell as Kate in Kinda Pregnant. Image: Instagram

Who does Urzila play in Kinda Pregnant?

According to her Facebook and the film’s IMDb page, Urzila will play Fallon, which she describes as “your friendly guidance counsellor guiding you through this marvellous movie.”

And if we know Urzila (and we do), Fallon’s scenes are probably going to steal the show!

Is there a trailer?

There sure is! Check it out here:

Where can I watch it?

Set a reminder! Kinda Pregnant will be available on Netflix starting February 5 2025.

How to watch Love Island All Stars Season 2 in Australia

by Danica Baker

Some of the fittest Islanders of all time are coming back to lay their cards on the table again on Love Island All Stars Season 2.

Last year, the well-known singles who were looking for love were all from the UK, and the 2025 cast is the same. However, we have our fingers crossed that Love Island All Stars Season 2 cast may include some former Aussie Islanders as Bombshells.

Channel 9 fast-tracked episodes of Love Island All Stars Season 1 for Australians in mid-January 2024, so we thought we’d investigate whether we’ll be able to stream Love Island All Stars Season 2 down under.

Host Maya Jame on Love Island UK. Image: ITV.

How can I watch Love Island All Stars Season 2 in Australia?

Love Island All Stars premieres in the UK on January 13 on ITV2. As for us Aussies, Channel 9 is fast-tracking it so that we can watch it at *almost* the exact same time.

The premiere of Love Island All Stars Season 2 will air exclusively on 9Now on January 15 at 6pm AEDT, and new episodes will air daily.

Who’s in the Love Island All Stars Season 2 cast?

Curtis Pritchard, Kaz Crossley, Gabby Allen, Nas Majeed, Catherine Agbaje, Olivia Hawkins, Ronnie Vint, Scott Thomas, Elma Pazar, India Reynolds, Luca Bish and Marcel Somerville will be the first islanders. You can find out more about the OG Love Island All Stars Season 2 cast here.

Who’s hosting?

Love Island host Maya Jama will be returning to host the new series. She’ll be joined by the series’ popular narrator and famed comedian Iain Stirling.

Maya Jama will host Love Island All Stars Season 2.

Is there a trailer?

See below for the teeny trailer confirming the return of Love Island All Stars Season 2.

Will there be Casa Amor?

Executive producer Mike Spencer told The Sun that there won’t be a Casa Amor on All Stars Season 2 because the series is running for five weeks rather than the usual eight.

“We aren’t doing Casa Amor this time, but there may be another big twist at the halfway mark. I think we have got to be reactive,” Mike teased.

“Casa Amor, as we know and love it, doesn’t really work for a five-week run because you need time to bed in, get to know each other, see if they are for you, and if you want to switch it up,” he continued.

To tide you over until Love Island All Stars hits the shores in Australia, why not catch up on Love Island Australia 2024?

Stream Love Island All Stars Season 2 on 9Now from January 15.

Grab some popcorn because it’s MAFS 2025 season! Here’s everything you need to know

by Athina Mallis

‘Tis Married at First Sight (MAFS) 2025 season, and you know what that means? Yep, cat fights aplenty, wacky one-liners galore and —possibly—some lasting connections formed.

With so many of the MAFS 2025 cast already being influencers and reality TV alums before entering the experiment, we can only expect this season to be an absolute doozy.

From the release date to the impending drama, here’s everything we know about MAFS 2025.

Latest MAFS 2025 Gossip

Meet the 2025 intruders

By now we know that both Lauren Hall and Eliot Donovan are coming back as intruders, with different partners, with another somewhat familiar face set to join as an intruder also — that being former Big Brother star Teejay Halkias, who starred on the 2023 season of the show, and is set to marry Bethy Kelly.

Lauren Hall and Clint Rice
Will it be second time lucky for Lauren Hall? Photo: Nine

As for Lauren, she’s been partnered with professional golfer Clint Rice, while Eliot is set to wed Veronica Cloherty. Read all about it here.

Was Jacqui really Miss New Zealand?

MAFS fans quickly learned Jacqui Burfoot is a woman of many achievements: she’s a double degree holder (law and finance), a model, a certified yoga teacher, and won the title of Miss New Zealand in 2012. Or did she?

MAFS' Jacqui Burfoot
MAFS’ Jacqui Burfoot did wear a Miss New Zealand sash, but was she actually Miss New Zealand? Photo: Instagram

In many dedicated MAFS Facebook groups, people started to question whether Jacqui was indeed Miss New Zealand, with search results coming up short. In fact, if you type in Miss New Zealand 2012, a whole different person comes up and Jacqui’s name is nowhere to be seen.

As it turns out Jacqui did bear a Miss New Zealand sash, but for a competition called Miss Yacht International, which she appeared to compete in in 2013. While she represented New Zealand, Jacqui didn’t place in the competition, with Miss Kyrgyzstan placing first, Miss China placing second, and Miss Macedonia placing third.

MAFS fans unearth Tim’s pop-punk band

While controversial groom Tim Gromie has now deleted all his social media, it’s hard to hide from the eagle-eyed MAFS fans who often turn into detectives during the seasons. Fans have since unearthed Tim’s band on Instagram, with the 38-year-old seen playing the drums for the band called The Last Dance.

One video shows them doing a cover of hit Paramore song Misery Business and, look, it’s… rough. Should a band of men enthusiastically be singing the line “Once a whore you’re nothing more”? Probably not.

Is there a trailer?

Yup! Multiple trailers have dropped since the first MAFS announcement in mid-December. You can watch them below.

When is the Married At First Sight 2025 release date?

MAFS 2025 will premiere on January 27 at 7:30pm on Channel Nine and 9Now.

Has any drama leaked?

It’s not MAFS without the drama.

New reports from The Daily Mail suggest there will be a “mass exodus” during the season, with six people reportedly leaving the show in two weeks.

According to the publication, several participants walked off the set, with producers scrambling to fix the issue.

“Some members feel relieved to see certain couples go, while others view the departures as an insult to the experiment,” the publication reported.

Who’s in the MAFS 2025 cast?

In recent years, some of the MAFS cast members have had a considerable following before going on the show, and this year is no different. In fact, it arguably has the most amount of recognisable names the show has ever seen.

Some of those include The Real Love Boat Australia’s Paul Antoine, The Bachelor’s Sierah Swepstone and Lauren Hall, who is the ex of MAFS 2024’s Jonathan McCullough (no, not Lauren Dunn).

Oops! I’m A Celebrity 2025 accidentally “reveals” Nicky Buckley as a contestant

by Amy Shapiro

The cast clues for I’m a Celebrity 2025 have been piling up in the lead-up to the premiere, but it seems Channel 10 has made a small slip-up, confirming one star for the jungle: Aussie TV presenter Nicky Buckley.

Who is Nicky Buckley?

Nicky is one of Australia’s most familiar faces in media. She began her career in modelling before moving to the small screen, where she became co-host of Channel 10’s Perfect Match.

Over the decades, she’s graced Aussie screens as the host of shows like Sale of the Century and a competitor on Dancing With The Stars.

Now, it looks like the 59-year-old is gearing up for a whole new challenge, to take on the wilds of South Africa on I’m A Celebrity 2025!

Two images of Nicky Buckley: one of her smiling (left) and another of her holding a loaf of bread (right)

I’m a Celebrity’s accidental reveal

As the I’m A Celebrity 2025 premiere approaches, hosts Julia Morris and Robert Irwin have been dropping a host of clues about the incoming cast.

One recent teaser video hinted: “She’s a TV host who’s no stranger to the fame game, but can she take out the jungle jackpot?”

Another teaser shared by Channel 10 on Monday 6 January featured the disguised “mystery contestant” with her face obscured and voice distorted.

However, the network missed one small but crucial detail: Nicky’s unmistakable engagement ring, which was a dead give-away. Oops!

Screenshot from the I'm a Celebrity 2025 teaser trailer featuring Nicky Buckley with her face blurred but her wedding ring visible

Even without the ring, the emoji clues accompanying the video on Instagram alone screamed Nicky: a TV, rain cloud, and dancing woman.

“It’s Nicky Buckley. TV – Famous Faces on Sale. Rain Cloud – She was a weather presenter. Salsa Dancer – She was on Dancing With The Stars,” one savvy commenter deduced.

Still, the unintentional ring reveal was the icing on the cake.

See you in the jungle, Nicky!

Now that I’m a Celebrity Australia 2025 has kicked off, we now know who is braving the South African jungle for charity, but how much do these contestants get paid?

We know the winner of I’m a Celebrity donates their prize money to the charity of their choice. But how much do they make to appear on the reality show?

We’ve done the digging, and here’s what we know.

How much are the 2025 contestants getting paid?

The I’m a Celebrity Australia 2025 cast mates’ pay packets reportedly vary for each contestant.

One unnamed source told Yahoo! Lifestyle that the 2025 season is “the cheapest ever” due to budget cuts.

According to the publication, celebrities are ranked in tiers by their fame, which directly determines their pay.

Apparently, the highest-paid celebrity for this season is Dave Hughes, who the publication reported is raking in $250,000 for the season..

On the opposite end of the spectrum are Samantha Moitzi and Tina Provis, who are reportedly getting paid between $35,000 and $60,000 each.

The insider said that Shayna Jack, Matty J, and Sam Thaiday are earning between $100,000 to $175,000 each with an additional $5,000 bonus for each day they remain on the show, while Max Balegde and Reggie Bird are being paid $100,000 each.

How much did previous contestants make on I’m a Celebrity get paid?

Yes! While the charity prize is a feel-good perk, the contestants on I’m a Celebrity also rake in a sizable sum for their time on the show.

How much exactly? It depends.

Brendan Fevola, winner of I’m a Celebrity Season 2 and co-host of The Fox’s Fifi, Fev & Nick, spilled the tea on the radio show about his 2015 payday.

“I got paid $250,000 upfront. And then $5,000 every show after the [first] two weeks. So, you’d lay there on a Sunday, and you’d hope there’s not another eviction, so you get another 7 days and there’s another $35,000,” he shared.

“Every time I’d lay on the bed I’d think ‘Oh God, there’s another five grand…’ because I was broke.”

The late, great Shane Warne, who starred in the same season, famously bagged a record-breaking payday of over $2 million — the highest in the show’s history.

“He had a clause [in his contract] that if he left, he didn’t get anything,”  Fevola revealed. 

“So, he had to stay in – and there was one time where he was like, ‘man, I’m done,’ and I would go, ‘man, 2.2 million (dollars), don’t leave!’”

Laurina Fleure, who competed in the second season of I’m a Celebrity and finished third, also revealed her pay check during an interview on the Confessions of a Reality Star podcast.

“I think I cleared about $78K in the bank for those six weeks,” she shared.

In more recent seasons, reports reveal celebs are earning a range of salaries. 

In 2023, Daily Mail Australia reported that most contestants earned between $35,000 and $180,000, with TV icon Kerri-Anne Kennerley coming in as the second-highest earner at $180,000.

Nick “Honey Badger” Cummins, however, topped the charts that year, reportedly earning up to $300,000, according to Yahoo Lifestyle. 

By 2024, insiders told Pedestrian that one male contestant secured $90,000 for a two-week stint, with an additional $5,500 earned for each extra day spent in the jungle.

Meanwhile, for the upcoming 2025 season, Married At First Sight (MAFS) alum Martha Kalifatidis reportedly turned down an $80,000 offer to join the cast. 

According to Daily Mail, Martha decided against appearing on I’m a Celebrity after consulting with her management team, citing concerns over how she might be portrayed.

“My manager told me, ‘They’re just going to pick on you. You’ll be the ‘beauty girl’ under a magnifying glass’,” Martha explained to the publication.

Producers had reportedly offered her “flexible terms,” including the ability to opt out of certain tasks or food challenges, but despite being a top pick for the show, she ultimately decided the risks to her image weren’t worth it.

It seems money isn’t everything. In fact, Not every celebrity who braves the jungle does it for the pay check. Influencer Skye Wheatley, for instance, told Pedestrian that money didn’t drive her decision to appear on I’m a Celebrity.

“To be honest, I would make more money being at home,” she said.

“I’d do it for free. It’s for charity, babes, who gives a fuck about the money. I love that it can be for charity and I love the opportunity. So I’m very grateful.”

How do the charities work on I’m a Celebrity?

Beyond celebrity salaries, the show does donate big bucks to charity. 

Each contestant selects a cause close to their heart, and if they win I’m a Celebrity, their chosen organisation takes home $100,000.

Is I’m a Celebrity real or fake? 

For anyone doubting how real the jungle is, it’s more intense than you might think!

In 2023, contestant Woody Whitelaw (of Will and Woody fame) shared some behind-the-scenes details on his radio show:

“I was under the impression that the jungle would be a fenced-off area… But the head of security, Steve, told me that outside of the campsite, there are guys in camo standing by. They’re there to warn us if there’s a lion or water buffalo heading our way and make sure they’re safely redirected.”

Wild, right? With that in mind, maybe the celebs are earning their keep after all.

I’m a Celebrity Australia… Get Me Out Of Here Australia 2025 will premiere on January 19 on Channel 10 and 10Play.

John Aiken says he has a responsibility to “call out bad behaviour” on MAFS

by CHATTR Team

Married At First Sight (MAFS) 2025 relationship expert John Aiken isn’t afraid to get stuck into the brides and grooms when he doesn’t agree with their views.

During an interview with Chattr, the relationship specialist said that he feels it’s his “responsibility” to point out questionable behaviour in the relationships we see on the controversial show.

“Over the last three seasons, I’ve become more direct,” John said ahead of the 2024 season. “You’re in a privileged position where you can give them really hard-hitting feedback in a short amount of time, in the hope that it lands and it changes.”

“You really have a responsibility as an expert to call out bad behaviour and make them accountable.”

So, it appears to go without saying that John will be giving the MAFS 2025 cast some hard truths.

John Aiken says many of the MAFS participants haven’t been called out before

John believes that a lot of the participants haven’t experienced being told that they’re doing things wrong before, and he thinks that his honest assessments of their relationship help them.

“I’m of the opinion now that a lot of the time, they [the participants have] never heard anything like that. They’ve grown up in families, around friendships, who are basically saying yes, so I’m one of the first people that say no, and I find that very exciting.”

According to Daily Mail Australia, MAFS 2025 bride Jamie Marinos is the  “Queen of drama”, so we can’t wait to see how she takes John’s blunt advice.

John Aiken finds the opportunity to give the participants honest feedback exciting

As one of the three MAFS 2025 experts, alongside Mel Schilling and Alessandra Rampolla, John feels honoured to be able to give the participants honest—and sometimes brutal—feedback.

“In a lot of reality shows, the judges are put on a pedestal, whereas in this experiment, when I go at them, they’re likely to come right back, and that’s very compelling.”

John listed MAFS Season 10 groom Harrison Boon as one of the participants who fired back when he was given advice. Harrison was infamous for creating drama amongst the other MAFS participants and ended up having a fiery showdown with his TV wife, Bronte Schofield.

Reflecting on his time as a TV relationship expert, John said that his feedback doesn’t always “land” with the brides and grooms.

“Sometimes it does, and sometimes it doesn’t, but you really have a responsibility as an expert to call out bad behaviour and make them accountable.”

“It goes to that whole idea that we’re talking about the unpredictable, unscripted nature of it. We’re sitting there as experts going, ‘What are we going to hear tonight, and how are we going to respond?’. So it’s fantastic to be part of it.”

Married At First Sight 2025 airs on January 27 on Channel 9 and 9Now.

Hannah Steinfeld from Love Island 2024 hard launches new boyfriend on Insta!

by Amy Shapiro

Whether you were rooting for them or low-key not a fan, the breakup of Love Island Australia 2024 couple Hannah Steinfeld and Taylor Reid post-villa definitely caught fans off guard. 

But no need to worry about Hannah, the blonde babe from Melbourne hasn’t been single for long! In fact, she’s just gone ahead and hard launched her new boyfriend on Insta. 

Here’s everything we know about the new love of Hannah’s life!

What we know about Hannah Steinfeld’s new boyfriend

The new man in Hannah’s life appears to be Jesse Friday, a 26-year-old who also seems to be from Victoria. 

Jesse’s Instagram lists him as a “comedian,” but we’re not sure if he’s just clowning around. More likely, he’s a tradie, having been tagged getting down and dirty for Melbourne’s South Side Plumbing. Well, it would explain the hot bod.

He also appears to be super into snowboarding and definitely has a love for the party scene.

Hannah dropped a post on her Insta showing off a series of cosy pics with her new boyfriend, accompanied by a cheeky caption: “Someone sent me something online… Do we still think he’s gay? #reddit.” 

The post references a few Reddit threads from a while back where fans speculated that her new mystery man might actually be gay. Looks like this should finally lay those rumours to rest!

Jesse even dropped a cute comment on Hannah’s post: “There’s no one I’d rather do life with, spooky pookie,” he wrote, complete with a heart emoji. 

Or was it a very cheeky nod to Taylor’s trademark Love Island pet name? Just saying.

Hannah Steinfeld’s Love Island journey

We all remember Hannah making it to the semi-finals of Love Island 2024, where she was coupled up with Taylor. 

After leaving the villa, the pair seemed set on continuing things outside. Sadly, that relationship never made it far past the post-villa phase. Both confirmed they briefly dated in real life, but it wasn’t meant to be.

Taylor spoke to 9Now about the split, revealing the two “had a conversation because there was some information that came to light that we needed to speak about.”

He added, “We started to get to know each other without the cameras and see each other’s lives and lifestyles, and there was something that didn’t sit with me morally.”

Meanwhile, Hannah kept things a little more private, only confirming that while the romance didn’t last, the two remain close friends. 

“Taylor and I are not together. I’ll just confirm that Tay and I are still really close friends and that we’re as close as we were in the villa, just not romantically,” she shared.

Well, here’s to Hannah’s new romantic chapter with boyfriend Jesse. To the happy couple, and life after Love (Island)!

by Danica Baker

Fresh off Chrishell Stause’s Neighbours debut, news has dropped that her spouse, G Flip (Georgia Flipo), will also be on the Aussie soap.

The official Neighbours Instagram account shared the new development on January 5.

“Exciting news… Aussie musician (and Chrishell’s partner) G Flip is heading to Ramsay Street for a cameo! Keep your eyes peeled over the coming weeks,” the caption reads.

G Flip has carved out a career as one of Australia’s top musicians. This won’t be the non-binary performer’s first time on screen. They have appeared on The L Word: Generation Q and Selling Sunset.

When will G Flip join Neighbours?

A date for G Flip’s cameo hasn’t been announced just yet, but we’ll update you as soon as it drops.

What will G Flip’s role on Neighbours be?

There aren’t currently any additional details about the non-binary musician’s role on Neighbours. However, we have an inkling that they’ll be shooting scenes with Selling Sunset‘s Chrishell.

Australian fans have taken to the comments section of the announcement post to share their excitement.

“I remember when Yasmine and Holly were having a conversation about getting a local music act, I thought G Flip would be perfect. Excited!!!” one person wrote.

“Love this!! I had a feeling they would get G at some point,” another penned.

However, some British fans aren’t familiar with who the Aussie musician actually is.

“For the UK fans who?” One person wrote.

MAFS’ 2025’s Jake Luik: Meet the groom who’s (probably) not looking for a blue tick

by Danica Baker

Jake Luik is one of the Married at First Sight 2025 (MAFS) grooms heading down the aisle hoping to meet his soul mate.

Unlike many of the 2025 participants, Jake hasn’t been on reality TV before, and we get the impression that he’s actually looking for a lasting connection— rather than a blue tick on Instagram.

Here’s everything we know about MAFS 2025’s Jake.

Does Married At First Sight’s Jake Luik have social media?

In recent years, MAFS participants have reaped the benefit of accumulating a massive following on social media after appearing on the show. For example, MAFS 2024‘s Lucinda Light had just over 4000 followers on the platform but now sits at a whopping 641,000.

Lucinda Light’s huge social media following. Image: Instagram.

Growth like this allows participants to pursue careers in social media post-show, which is presumably a draw card for future contestants.

However, it appears that Jake didn’t apply for the show in hopes of a spon-con deal, as his Instagram lacks an array of gym selfies and self-appreciating captions. However, with MAFS cast you never really know!

Jake Luik. Image: Instagram.

What’s Jake’s job?

Jake works as a well-being coordinator for year 10 at Southern River College, which is in the suburb Gosnells, Western Australia.

Who is Jake Luik matched with on Married At First Sight?

According to photos leaked by Daily Mail Australia— and published on the Instagram account MAFSUncensored—Jake ties the knot with dance school teacher Ashleigh Ackerman.

The publication shared photos of the couple looking very loved up at their wedding, as well as a picture of them having a kiss.

Will Ashleigh and Jake be the Cam Merchant and Jules Robinson of MAFS 2025? We certainly hope so!

Married At First Sight Season 12 will premiere on January 27 on Channel 9 and 9Now.

MKR 2024’s gatecrashers Janey and Maddie reveal their next big move

by Amy Shapiro

Mother-daughter duo Janey Willox and Maddie Devereux, who rose to fame as “Gatecrashers” on the competitive cooking show My Kitchen Rules (MKR) 2024, have announced their latest venture to bring their culinary talents from the small screen into the real world. 

The Victorian pair have announced their new catering business, The Kitchen Queens, set to serve Melbourne and the Mornington Peninsula.

Their time on MKR may have seen them ruffle feathers, but it also proved that the ladies sure can cook. Now, they’re taking their passion for food beyond the screen and into homes, workplaces, and events.

Janey and Maddie launch The Kitchen Queens

The duo’s new venture, The Kitchen Queens, is a catering service offering midweek meals, grazing tables, and event catering, all with a focus on “curating wholesome luxury, one bespoke bite at a time.”

While the full website will launch in early 2025, the business is already active on Instagram, where Janey and Maddie shared their plans with fans.

“We are bringing to you our new business,” Maddie said in an Instagram post. “We are here for all of your family meals, your catering requirements, and of course, your dinner parties.”

“If you don’t feel like cooking during the week, we have got you covered.”

“We have an extensive menu of family favourite recipes that are super healthy and delicious that we promise you and your loved ones will love.”

The Kitchen Queens also offers a menu of crowd-pleasing finger foods and appetisers for special occasions.

Janey added, “The Kitchen Queens have got you sorted when it comes to your next dinner party.”

“Three courses or two courses, it will be an experience that your guests will love.”

Janey and Maddie’s time on MKR

As MKR “Gatecrashers,” Janey and Maddie joined the competition in the second round of Instant Restaurants. 

While they placed second in the Ultimate Instant Round, they were ultimately eliminated in the 2024 season’s first semi-final during a cook-off against fellow duo, mum and son pairing, Caz and Fergus James.

And while the girls may have rubbed some shoulders with their blunt feedback, it was hard to ignore their talent.

So good luck to The Kitchen Queens. Looks like Janey and Maddie are just getting started!
