Shortly after they left the show, a letter from one of their wedding guests showed that the pair had cancelled their nuptials.
The development—paired with their bitter feuds on the show—had fans wondering if the couple is still together.
Well, do we have an update for you!

The Block 2024’s Jesse and Paige got married
Yep, you read correctly—Jesse and Paige shared a single photo on social media of their wedding on November 25.
The pair shared a joint post simply captioned “Husband and Wife.” The image shows Paige wearing a wedding dress and sitting solemnly in a chair while her new hubby Jesse looks down at her.
The Block 2024 cast members Maddy, Kylie and Courtney all took to the comments section to share their well wishes.
“Omg Stop!!!!” Kylie wrote while Maddy commented, “This is absolutely stunning! Congratulations guys! So happy for you both.”
Courtney penned: “Oh my, congratulations. So happy for you two and what a beautiful photo. STUNNNNNING.”
Paige and Jesse’s first relationship updates post-show
Jesse and Paige‘s relationship showed cracks during the first few weeks of the season. They had multiple fights and there was one particular blowout which had fans wondering about the future of their relationship.
“I’m sick of f**king wasting time!” Jesse yelled during week two.
“It’s all we’re doing, wasting time. Can we just like, get on with it, please? I’m sorry we didn’t talk about it more, alright? Sorry for yelling, I’m just frustrated because it’s like we’re just going backwards again.”
“I don’t give a f**k what you are,” Paige replied.

However, despite their on-screen fights, Paige and Jesse proved to the world that they were still together IRL at the time.
Paige shared a loved-up photo on Instagram on June 21 to celebrate Jesse’s birthday. Considering that filming for The Block 2024 kicked off in March, the post appears to be published after the couple left the show.
Paige shared another couple photo of her and Jesse in late July which showed them on a European holiday together.
Being on The Block is undoubtedly stressful. A Euro summer vacay is certainly a much more conducive environment for a relationship to thrive.
The Block airs on Sundays at 7pm and Mon – Wednesday at 7:30pm on Channel 9 and 9Now.
Love Island Australia 2024 is proving to be a particularly spicy season for the reality TV show, and fans are lapping up the drama that’s being sent their way. One of the couples we’ve particularly enjoyed watching from home is Zane and Bombshell Kaylah – but are these two still together now?
Let’s take a look at all the updates about this Love Island couple, and see whether or not we can get any clues about their status now.
Zane and Kaylah: Does this couple survive Love Island Australia?
Are Kaylah and Zane still together after Love Island Australia? Image: Nine
It doesn’t look good for Kaylah and Zane. Despite being a strong couple at the start, recent events hint that they may not be going the distance.
A Reddit thread recently surfaced with a video showing Zane and fellow Islanders, including Sophie Mills, partying on the Gold Coast on November 16 – without Kaylah in sight.
Fans have quickly speculated that Zane and Sophie might be one of the “end-game couples” of the season.
The speculation was fuelled further by a clip from the Love Island intro video, which appeared to show Zane locking lips with a blonde, who many believe to be Sophie.
Fans on Reddit are speculating that Zane and Sophie will be paired up for Hotel Amor, which may be the reason things fall apart for Kaylah and her current beau.

Adding to the plot, another Reddit post suggests that Kaylah may have been spotted with a different mystery Islander, believed to be Eric Garcia, in a leaked promo video.
In an interview with fashion brand White Fox, Kaylah also revealed that she’s “still currently” with the partner she met in the villa – so it seems like things may have moved on from Zane.
What’s Kaylah and Zane’s Love Island Australia story? Image: Nine
If you’re behind on the antics from this season of Love Island Australia, allow us to catch you up.
Kaylah entered the villa as a Bombshell alongside Krissy in episode 10. Rather quickly, Kaylah and Zane connected over a shared love of the gym. This put a spanner in the works for Xanthe, who was coupled up with Zane at the time.
During the next Recoupling ceremony, Kaylah chose to couple up with Zane, and Xanthe left the villa after being dumped.
One thing’s for certain here, there is more drama to come – so I guess we’ll have to wait and see what happens next.

Fresh clues have surfaced aboutThe Block 2024’s most talked-about couple, Brad and KylieBaker. Following the “flirtgate” scandal involving Brad and fellow contestant MimiBelperio, fans were left wondering whether Brad and Kylie were officially over.
But where do they stand now? Here’s what we know.
Are Brad and Kylie still together?
The latest update from the couple quit the show not once, but twice, comes via astute followers who have noticed a telling change on Kylie’s private Instagram account.
As The Daily Mail has reported, Kylie’s bio still lists her Cairns residency and the four children she shares with Brad (Parker, Bentley, Steele, and Slade), Brad’s name has been noticeably removed, leaving no trace of her husband of seven years.
Could this be the final nail in the coffin for the couple’s relationship?
However, after The Block 2024’s final episode, Brad spoke with Nine producers, sharing that he and Kylie were very much together, and “Definitely stronger after it [The Block]. To walk away with something and it be worth it, 100%”
Let’s revisit where the drama all began, shall we?
What happened between Brad and Mimi?
The TL;DR version of this story is that after a night of drinks, Brad is said to have been flirting with fellow The Block contestant Mimi while his wife Kylie napped nearby.
This led to Kylie leaving the show and returning home to be with her family.
Did Brad and Kylie stay together while on The Block?
Ahead of The Block 2024’s final episode – auction day – folks were speculating about the status of Brad and Kylie’s relationship.
At the time, Yahoo Lifestyle reported that the pair appeared to be together, after attending a Melbourne Cup race day event together with the rest of the contestants of The Block 2024.
However, earlier reports from So Dramatic!, suggested the married couple had possibly parted ways before auction day.
An insider who spoke with the outlet said, “They’ve completely separated. Brad’s moved out of their home, and things aren’t amicable, making things difficult and awkward for the publicity team.”
Turning the rumours on their head again, another contestant, CourtneyMcInnes, spoke with HIT WA’s Allan & Carly before the end of the season and alleged that, no, Brad and Kylie were, in fact, still together.

“I have spoken to everyone since, and Mimi and Kristian are in a good place, and Kylie and Brad, I’ve heard, are also in a good place,” Courtney said. “They’re very much still together. We saw them a couple of weeks ago for an event.”
She also confirmed that Mimi and Kylie had spoken since the flirting incident – in which Brad allegedly told Mimi he’d subscribe to her OnlyFans.
According to Courtney, things had calmed down there, too.
“I wouldn’t say they’re really, really close right now, but they’ve spoken. Everything’s fine. So I don’t know if this is going to resurface things. Who knows, but weeks ago, we were all talking,” she said.
Another interesting point to add is that according to an insider who spoke with Yahoo Lifestyle, Kylie had supposedly been leaning on Brad for support since the show started airing.
“At first Kylie was laughing at the silliness of some of her antics on the show, but now she has been questioning everything about herself and, surprisingly, Brad of all people has been the one to comfort her,” the source told the outlet.
This would suggest the couple was working through things together – at that stage, at least.
Why did Kylie and Brad leave The Block?

After flirtgate, Kylie went home to be with family, but fans were surprised to see that she did decide to return to The Block for a short period… Only for her and Brad to leave the show again shortly after.
During a chat with producers and Brad at the time, Kylie shared that she felt Brad “completely annihilated” their relationship.
Although they seemingly repaired things in time for The Block 2024’s auction day, the new reports suggest that, sadly, things may not be entirely smooth sailing just yet.
Many Love Island fans are familiar with Casa Amor, the infamous shake-up that’s a staple of the overseas versions. Typically, one-half of the coupled-up contestants (either the men or women) are taken away to a separate villa, Casa Amor, where they’re introduced to a brand-new lineup of singles ready to stir the pot.
Meanwhile, their partners stay behind, left in the dark about what’s unfolding on the other side.
Sparks fly, and loyalties are tested for three to four days. The segment usuallyling ceremony, during which culminates in a dramatic recoup contestants must decide whether to stick with their original partner or explore a new connection.

Casa Amor is notorious for creating some of the most jaw-dropping moments in Love Island history, and fans eagerly count down to the chaos it brings.
Although Casa Amor was once part of the Australian spin-off, it was sadly axed after the 2021 season.
But in 2024, the iconic twist is making its long-awaited return with a steamy new upgrade debuting tomorrow night.
Insiders are calling it “X-rated” and promising it’ll take the drama to unprecedented levels. So, what’s the deal with the revamped format? Here’s what we know.
Love Island Australia 2024 Introduces Hotel Amor
Hotel Amor is a new take on the classic Casa Amor. The salacious setup is already making waves, with rumours that international versions of Love Island are considering adopting the format due to its explosive potential.
Hotel Amor gives contestants the chance to spend a night with their new potential love interest completely off-camera. According to host Sophie Monk, this one-night escape without surveillance ramps up the drama to a whole new level.
“We send the [participants] away for a night in a hotel with no cameras for one night,” Sophie revealed to PEDESTRIAN.TV.
Love Island host Sophie Monk. Image: Nine.
“We break up their couples so they’re with other people, and it equals so much drama. But it’s very, very entertaining.”
A source told the Daily Mail that the twist has even led Channel Nine to review the Broadcasting Code of Practices.
With no cameras rolling, contestants can lie about their escapades, creating even more intrigue for viewers. Who’s telling the truth, and who’s fabricating their innocence? The uncertainty will keep both the Islanders and the audience guessing.
Hotel Amor “has worked in many ways,” the source added, but mainly it allows fans to “play along too and question what is real and what isn’t.”
Sounds like some serious tea brewing. We’re counting down the hours until tomorrow’s episode!

While Dessert Masters is known as the sister show of MasterChef, Emelia told Chattr during an exclusive interview that she found competing on each to be a completely different experience.
“I was expecting it to be the same, but just making desserts, but it’s absolutely not,” she revealed in a post-elimination interview.
“In MasterChef, the two-and-a-half-hour challenges were almost always the pressure test, which meant that you never had that type of time to create something [extravagant],” she explained.
Emelia said that while the long time limit allowed the contestants to hone in on the finer details of their desserts, the challenges could be quite draining.
“I didn’t really consider how exhausting doing two and a half hour cooks every day was going to be; it was really physically exhausting,” she said.
“But more than that, it pushed me creatively in a way that I didn’t know that I could be pushed.”

Does Emelia Jackson think MasterChef or Dessert Masters was harder?
During the interview, Emelia said that while she found both cooking reality shows very different, if she had to pick one as the hardest, she’d choose Dessert Masters.
“They’ve both got their own challenges. MasterChef is a really long competition, and I think that is the hard element of it—staying focused for such a long period of time is really hard,” she said.
“But, Dessert Masters is really intense, and you’re competing against professional chefs as an untrained chef. So, I think, in my experience, Dessert Masters may have been harder.
Emelia and Darren Purchese on Dessert Masters. Image: Ten.
Who does Emelia want to see on MasterChef Australia 2025: Back to Win?
Emelia first competed on MasterChef Australia in 2014 and placed third. She returned for MasterChef Australia Back To Win in 2020 and won the competition.
MasterChef Australia 2025will see the return of Back To Win, which means past contestants will return to the kitchen and battle it out for another chance at the title.
Emelia told Chattr that she’s looking forward to the season, and she hopes Laura Sharrad—who came runner up to her on MasterChef Australia 2020—will be among the cast.
“I would love to see a few people from my original season six days that I was friends with,” Emelia said.
“I’d really love to see Laura back on there. I think she is so skilled. Competing against her in Back to Win, she was equally a deserving winner. So, it’d be great to see her get on there and hopefully take out the win.”
Emelia and Laura on MasterChef. Image: Ten.
Does Emelia win a prize for coming runner-up on Dessert Masters 2024?
John Demetrios was crowned the winner of Dessert Masters 2024, with a score of 28 out of 30, as compared to Emelia’s 26. Along with the Dessert Masters trophy, he received a $100,000 prize.
So, did Emelia receive a prize for being the runner-up?
“Nothing, damnit!” She laughed.
“No, I’m so happy with John winning that money. I think it’s going to go a long way in achieving his dreams and his career. I don’t feel like I needed a prize. I was just so happy with the entire experience.”
At least she got that $250,000 prize money for her MasterChef Australia 2020 win!
Dessert Masters 2024winner John Demetrios had never been on TV before his stint on the show. However, the reality rookie managed to take out the competition, and pocket $100,000 in prize money.
During an exclusive interview with Chattr, John revealed that he already knows what he’ll be spending the cool sum of cash on.
“I’m going to use this opportunity to open my own little bakery with my wife,” he shared.
Which is lucky for those who are located in Melbourne, because John’s new bakery will be smack bang in the middle of the CBD.
“We’re going to open it soon—hopefully early next year—just as early as we can!” he said.
Like John, his wife Martina is another established chef, and the couple met while working together in Sweden at Oaxen Krog, a two-Michelin-starred restaurant.

John’s turning point in the Dessert Masters competition
Compared to some of the other names in the Dessert Masters competition — like The Great Australian Bake Off judge Darren Purcheseand cooking influencer Katherine Sabbath — John was lesser known in the public eye.
During the interview, John said at the beginning, he “didn’t feel confident” that he’d “make it all the way to the end”. However, he said winning the first challenge helped him prove to himself that he could win.
“Winning the first challenge really blew me away because I was so nervous. I was just looking around the room at all this talent, and then winning that one made me feel like, ‘Yeah, I should be here. I deserve to be here,'” he shared.

John told Chattr that it took a while for reality to sink in that he’d actually been crowned the winner of Dessert Masters Australia 2024.
“It was very surreal. I was nervous, and all eyes were on me. So it took a while to sink in, and then I got really happy,” he said.
The sweet sibling of MasterChef, Dessert Masters, was back for 2024, and a collection of talented chefs stepped into the kitchen for the chance to take out the top spot as our ultimate dessert master. And, we watched on as all but one of the 10 Dessert Masters contestants were eliminated along the way.
Returning judges Amaury Guichon andMelissa Leong critiqued the work of our dessert-loving chefs until we landed on a winner — who walked away with a grand prize of $100,000.
If you’d like to look back on who was eliminated from Dessert Masters 2024, consider this your guide.

John Demetrios was crowned the winner of Dessert Masters 2024 during the grand finale which aired on November 24, 2024. The chef received a near-perfect score of 38 out of 40 and walked away with $100,000 prize money.
During a post-win interview with Chattr, John said that winning the competition was “surreal”.
“I was nervous, and all eyes were on me. So it took a while to sink in, and then I got really happy,” he added.
Who has been eliminated from Dessert Masters 2024?
Christy Tania and Emelia Jackson

Christy Tania and Emelia Jackson were both eliminated during the grand finale of Dessert Masters 2024. Emelia received a score of 36 out of 40, while Tania finished with 30 points.
In a post-elimination interview, Emelia said she was “so happy” that John won.
“I think it’s going to go a long way in achieving his dreams and his career. I don’t feel like I needed a prize. I was just so happy with the entire experience,” she said.
Reece Hignell and Jana Lai – November 18 elimination

Audiences were shocked by another double elimination on November 18. And after a moving story-inspired challenge, both Reece Hignell and Jana Lai were eliminated from the Dessert Masters competition.
On his journey through Dessert Masters, Reece said he felt “really honoured that I got to show off a lot of stuff that I like to make and what I like to do back home. Of course, to work with you guys has been a dream, and these people, they already know what they mean to me. I’ve had such a blast.”
Jana shared, “I think I’ve cried enough tears today, but it was an amazing experience; I took so much away from it – from all these people, [I took away] some awesome friendships as well. And I can’t wait to see the final!”
Only three remain now as we power towards the 2024 Dessert Masters final. Good luck to Christy, John and Emelia!
Alisha Henderson and Darren Purchese — November 17 elimination
Alisha Henderson and Darren Purchese. Image: Ten
Sunday, November 17, brought a double elimination for Dessert Masters 2024, and sadly, we said goodbye to both Alisha Henderson and Darren Purchese.
The challenge this time around was to create a dish inspired by bubbles. Darren’s dish ‘Careless Whisper’ was a blood orange and chocolate-based creation, and although it didn’t keep him in the competition, he shared with Ten that, “I don’t think I could have done anything more.”
“Regardless of any outcome, if you go on there and cook something and you push yourself to the very limit and do the very best you can, you can’t ask any more than that.”
Alisha, however, shared that she knew her crumpet-inspired dish wouldn’t be enough to save her from Dessert Masters elimination.
“It was definitely a dish that, as a concept, sounded way better in my head. But when it was executed, in a competition with the calibre that it had, it wasn’t going to be enough,” she told Ten.
Daniel and Reece were in the bottom two. Amaury told Daniel that his dish “lacked refinement” and said that the technique he used on the gold leaf on the dessert “fell short”, which caused him to be eliminated.
Donato Toce – November 4 elimination

Donato was the second chef eliminated from Dessert Masters 2024. He was eliminated after making a sundae with a scone-flavoured gelato and crumb, blueberry gelato, and a Chantilly cream topped with homemade sprinkles.
While the judges loved Donato’s creation, they said that his dish didn’t fit the brief of ‘scones with jam and cream’.
Katherine Sabbath – October 28 elimination

Katherine Sabbath was the first contestant eliminated during a smoke and mirrors Mystery Box challenge. She prepared a gorgeous sand castle cake, however, the Dessert Masters judges said that it lacked flavour.
Understandably, the Love Island Australia cast needed some downtime to recharge while they were in the villa, and Bombshell Sophie Mills told Chattr in an exclusive interview what the Islanders did when they were given a break from the cameras.
“We did have a couple of down days. It was a very, very busy season because of how much drama and content we had. We were pretty great,” she laughed.
Islanders Mimi and Em in the Love Island pool. Image: Nine.
“We only got a couple of days where we had the downtime, but it was everything we needed.”
Sophie explained that on the Islander’s non-filming days, the men and women were separated from each other so that production minimised missing out on drama between the couples.
“We had a couple of days where we had no cameras, girls and guys separated, just to relax and sleep and get our sanity back before we’re back on to drama.”
The 22-year-old said the breaks often helped generate even more action on the show.
“When the boys and girls were back together, it was crazy again,” she laughed. “It was nice to have a couple of days off.”

Sophie dishes on Islanders who’ve claim they got a bad edit
During the interview, Sophie raved about how production treated her and the other Islanders and said that she believes the Islanders are represented correctly on the show.
“I do trust that Love Island [producers] aren’t there to make us look bad,” the first Love Island Australia female bombshell explained. “Basically, you’re there to show who you are.”
The Love Island cast. Image: Nine.
“If you’re actually doing things that you don’t want on TV, then that’s your fault,” she added. “It’s hard for them to portray you as a bitch if you’re not a bitch.”
We can’t get enough of this season!

Hannah Steinfeld has captured the hearts of the Love Island Australia 2024men with her dry sense of humour and bombshell blonde looks — but she hasn’t always looked the way she does now.
An old video of the Love Island sass queen was posted to Reddit, and, with her brunette locks, Hannah looks almost unrecognisable in the clip.
In the video, Hannah is interviewed by The Pageant Project, a coaching organisation. According to the company, Hannah — who’s spoken about her pageant background on the show — was a Miss World Australia 2020 finalist.
While there are no photos of Hannah prior to 2023 on any of her social media profiles, The Pageant Project tagged her current Facebook account when they shared the video back in 2020.
In the video, Hannah speaks about her puppy Honey, who’s a Moodle (Maltese cross Poodle). The same pup has a highlight on Hannah’s Instagram page.

Love Island Australia’s Hannah Steinfeld’s different look
In the interview, Hannah also talks about how she got into pageantry and her future goals.
“In about a year’s time, I want to be done with my beauty course, and I want to be working part-time while studying for my nursing degree,” she said.
“My overall goal, besides pageantry and modelling, is to become a cosmetic nurse and do injectables and facial treatments, help people with acne and skin care problems, ageing, that sort of stuff,” she added.

Elsewhere in the interview, Hannah spoke about her day-to-day life.
“I’m usually doing uni four days a week, so Monday to Thursday,” she said.
“Outside of that, just seeing friends and family, going for brunch, just trying to get myself busy, I guess.”
Well, with her dramatic stint on Love Island Australia 2024, Hannah has certainly found a way to keep herself busy!

Now that we’ve finished binging Selling Sunset Season 8, it’s safe to say that (as always) we’re serious fans of Chrishell Stause. The actress-turned-real estate agent is officially dipping her toes back into the acting world – and Australia is officially being bestowed the biggest gift of all, with the star joining the next season of Neighbours.
Yep, our favourite agent is officially getting the keys to a new place on Ramsay Street, where she will play Yasmine Shields, a “glamorous and successful businesswoman”.
But apart from that, there’s little we actually know about Stause’s new role on the iconic television show. But don’t fret, we’ve popped our sleuthing hats on and have uncovered everything we know about Chrishell Stause’s role on Neighbours.
Chrishell Stause on the set of Neighbours. Image: Instagram
1. Chrishell will be making her Neighbours debut very soon
Chrishell announced on her Instagram account that her Neighbours episodes will begin airing this year.
“NEXT WEEK, Selling Sunset’s @chrishell.stause is bringing Hollywood drama to Ramsay Street! 🤩👀💅,” read a joint post between Chrishell and the official Neighbours account that was published on November 21.
That means that Chrishell’s first scenes will air sometime during the week commencing on November 25.
We know the Australian accent is one of the hardest ones out there to get right (and when it’s wrong, it’s very wrong). But thankfully, Stause won’t be putting herself through that challenge, with the star revealing that her character will be American.
“For everyone’s sake, I will be playing an American,” Stause shared on an Instagram story. “My Aussie accent needs some work.”
With her now being officially shacked up with Aussie legend G-Flip, we might see her Australian accent improve too!
3. She’ll play a “glamorous businesswoman”
The name of Stause’s character has been revealed as Yasmine Shields. The show describes her as “a glamorous and successful businesswoman in pursuit of an exciting new opportunity.”
Honestly, her character sounds pretty similar to her IRL self – and that makes us even more excited.

4. G-Flip has sneakily shared some extra details
Stause’s partner G-Flip spoke during a gig in July, sharing that Stause was staying in Australia while she was filming Neighbours. The musician also dropped a few extra details about the new Neighbours character, adding that she was a “lighting tech”.
“She’s a lighting tech, which is… whoever wrote that script, crazy job to give Chrishell as a lighting tech,” G-Flip said, as captured in a TikTok video. “Like, the hottest lighting tech I’ve ever seen in my whole life.”
While a lot of the other details are being kept top secret at the moment, we do know that Stause began filming in July 2024.
While no air dates have been officially announced, Paramount says that the new season of Neighbours is set to hit our screens in “late 2024”. Not soon enough, methinks.
One of the many exciting parts of I’m a Celebrity Australia is the star-studded cast, and we can’t wait to find out who’s on the list for the 2025 season.
In the past, big names like Shane Warne, Joey Essex andFrankie Muniz have all been among the contestants.
Another former cast member is Brendon Fevola, who was crowned the winner of I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! Australia in 2016.
In the past, the football legend has candidly given away information ahead of the upcoming seasons. However, this year, he might have outdone himself after he’s listed who he thinks will be part of the I’m a Celebrity Australia 2025 cast.
Robert Irwin filming a promo for I’m a Celebrity Australia 2025. Image: Instagram.
Who does Brendan Fevola think is in the I’m a Celebrity Australia 2025 cast?
Brendan listed four celebrities he believes will be part of the I’m a Celebrity Australia 2025 cast. The first person he named was comedian and actor Dave Thornton.
“I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here is fast approaching. This time of year, the ads start coming on, and [in] January, they head over. I did pop the question to our old mate Dave Thornton, and he stumbled… so I think he’s going in,” he said during The Fox’s Fifi, Fev & Nick show.
After that, the radio host shared two more names.
“Tayla Harris from the Melbourne Footy Club, I heard, is going in,” he began. “Robbie Slater, ex-Socceroo, is going in… that’s a definite.”

Lastly, Brendan listed another celeb he believes is “definitely” going to be on the reality TV show.
“Another definite is my brother-from-another-mother Willy Mason [Former professional rugby league footballer]will be heading into the jungle,” he said.
“I did a thing yesterday for Netflix at CommBank Stadium, the Parramatta Eels home ground. I was with Willy Mason all day.”
Welp, the tea has been spilled. Thanks, Brendan!
I’m a Celebrity Australia… Get Me Out Of Here Australia 2025 will premiere on January 19, 2025 on Channel 10 and 10Play.
The most wholesome show ever made was back in 2024 – and it was as sweet as pie. Yep, The Great Australian Bake Off returned for Season 7 and saw a cohort of budding bakers head into the shed to battle it out in the loveliest competition we’ve set our eyes on.
While the season is officially finished for the year, it’s always hard not to feel happy and warm when watching Bake Off—whether it’s the Aussie rendition or the original British version from across the pond. As the weeks went on, competitors baked pastries, cakes, and breads to win the big prize.
The 2024 season was particularly emotional after the sad passing of the late Cal Wilson. She passed away in October following a short battle with cancer at the age of 53. She had already filmed four episodes of Season 8.
While the competition is largely feel-good, there’s always a sad side to it, with the reality that one hopeful baker needed to be sent home each week. Ahead, everyone who was sadly sent home from The Great Australian Bake Off Season 7.
The Great Australian Bake Off winner
Arvin Garcia
Arvin Garcia was officially crowned the winner of The Great Australian Bake Off 2024. The 36-year-old’s ‘Rising Phoenix’ cake scored him the win.
“Winning Bake Off feels like a dream come true! Standing here with Dimi and Elliot, two amazing bakers, is such an honour,” Arvin began in a press release.
“This journey has been so meaningful – not just pushing my creativity and skills, but sharing a bit of my culture and story through my bakes. Every moment has been unforgettable, and I’ll carry these memories with me forever.”
In addition to the title, Arvin took home the ultimate baker’s kitchen from SMEG.

Judge Rachel Khoo said of Lauren: “She is so joyful, so colourful, really creative!”
She’ll certainly be missed.

Week 7 was Italian Week on The Great Australian Bake Off, and our bakers were challenged to produce pizza and other buonissimi sweet treats.
Sadly, at the end of this week, we saw Adrian sent home from the shed.
“This baker’s ambition has led to some truly memorable bakes,” host Natalie Tran shared.
“…And they have a wonderfully wicked way with words. We are really going to miss them around the shed.”
In response to leaving Bake Off, Adrian told producers, “Obviously [I’m] really sad to be leaving the shed, but I’m really proud of myself.
“I can’t wait to put all of my skills that I’ve learned here in the shed into what comes next.”

Melisa was the fourth Bake Off contestant to be sent home.
“Unfortunately, I also have the sad task of sharing who will be leaving us this evening,” host Nataliebegan at the week five elimination.
“We will deeply miss this baker for so many reasons. The song in their heart, the smile on their face, and the stories of the world they put in everything they create.”
“It’s with great sadness that tonight we say goodbye to Melisa.”
Melisa left with a smile on her face, telling the camera that she had “so much fun” on the show.
“It has been a dream come true in so many ways,” she said.

Jason was the third contestant eliminated from The Great Australian Bake Off.
“This leaves me with the sad job of announcing the baker whose days in the shed have come to an end,” Cal said during the episode.
“This baker has been a delight. Every week, they’ve taken us on a wild ride. From the beautiful grasp of their flavours to their ability to pull out a masterpiece in a few minutes,” she continued.
“They’ve really performed some magic. That’s why we’re really going to miss Jason.”
Despite being eliminated, Jason said he was “really happy” with his last bake on the show and was glad he went out with a cake that he was proud of.
Week 3 Elimination: No one

In a surprising update, judge Darren Purchese shared that in the spirit of fairness, no contestants would be eliminated for Back to Basics week. This was due to an electrical fault that left Laurina without the tools to properly fulfil the requirements of the challenge.
Darren shared that in that same spirit of fairness, however, two people would be eliminated from the competition in the following week.
Government Officer Vicki was the second person sent home on The Great Australian Bake Off. Host Natalie Tran tearfully broke the news.
“Each day, they filled the shed with sweetness and joy, and we are so sorry to say goodbye to Vicki,” she said.
Vicki said she was honoured to be a part of the show.
“I’m sad to be going, but at the same time, I’m just so excited that I got the experience in the first place. Meeting some amazing people and just giving it my all and having a great time,” she said.
Week 1 Elimination: Jill

Episode 1 saw a bunch of bakers battle it out for the first challenge of the season: Cake Week!
But it was a rough start for Jill, who, despite having a lovely tasting cake in the first challenge, was critiqued for the lack of icing and that it might be “too simple”.
The second blind challenge asked for a lemon curd cake, with Jill scoring the 5th spot.
The third ‘showstopper’ challenge required contestants to create an epic two-tiered birthday cake with beautiful decorations.
But things went downhill after her pina colada cake toppled over just moments before bringing it to the judges.
The judges were heartbroken for her, given how much hard work she had put in. They shared that the cake tasted delicious, but unfortunately, due to the pineapple jam, the cake had lost its structure and fallen over, clearly not delivering on the looks department.
“Straight away, this baker gave us a feeling of home,” judge Cal Wilson said when the time came to announce the elimination. “And their warmth and humour are proof that some classics never go out of style.”
“We are so sorry to say goodbye to Jill.”
It was a teary farewell. However, Jill remained in high spirits.
“I feel great,” Jill said. “I’ve had a really good time, and I actually learned a lot from the other bakers too.”
The 70-year-old from New South Wales had a passion for baking cakes and said that entering the Bake Off shed had been a dream of hers.
You can watch The Great Australian Bake Off every week Wednesday at 8:30pm on BINGE. You can also stream episodes from Season 7 on BINGE.
Mia Dalkos is the latest Bombshell to be launched into the villa, and her arrival may just answer all of Niko Fotopoulo’sLove Island Australia 2024prayers.
Mia is 23 years old and from Adelaide. She works in fashion and runs her own clothing hire company, Mia’s Hire Boutique.
During Mia’s intro video, which aired on November 20, the newestLove Island bomb said she is a “Greek goddess” looking for her “Greek god.”
Considering Islander Niko—who is of Greek heritage and boasts abs that look like they’re craved out of stone—was recently dumped by Hannah Steinfield, we may have a new match made in heaven.
Here’s everything we know about Love Island Australia’sMia.

Love Island’s Mia Dalkos was a Miss Universe Australia finalist
Mia represented South Australia as a Miss Universe Australia finalist in 2023. She was one of 23 women in the running to be crowned. Unfortunately for Mia, former International athlete Moraya Wilson took the title last year.
During an interview with GC Magazine, Mia told the publication that she entered the competition in the hope of inspiring other women.
“My key motivation for entering Miss Universe Australia was to challenge myself, develop in self-growth and step out of my comfort zone. I felt if I could achieve this, I could inspire like-minded women to achieve their goals and follow their dreams,” she said.
“The mere experience of being involved and associated with MUA’s platform is an incredible opportunity and would enable me to use my voice to motivate and inspire women to never give up and chase what truly fulfils their purpose and makes them happy.”
Where is Love Island Australia 2024’s Mia Dalkos from?
Mia mentioned in her intro video that she is from Greece, and the Love Island bomb takes great pride in her European heritage.
According to Greek City Times, Mia was named after her maternal grandmother, Efthimia, and the name is derived from the Greek word “efthimia”. However, the business owner started going by the name Mia in primary school because it was easier to pronounce.
“I value the Greek culture, as growing up in a big family, my sister and I were taught the importance and significance of the Greek traditions, religion, and language,” she told the publication.
“I especially admire the tradition of naming one’s child after the grandparent because the name will be passed down from generation to generation.
“I hope that one day in the future I will be fortunate to have grandchildren, perhaps named after me too, which I know will hold a dear place in my heart, reminding me of my Yiayia and own childhood.”
Grab the popcorn, Hannah is not going to take Mia’s entrance well.
Love Island Australian streams from Monday – Thursday on Channel 9 and 9Now.
With the Dessert Masters 2024 finale just around the corner, fans are on the edge of their seats as their favourite chefs make their way closer to sweet, sweet victory.
One contender marked as one to watch from the beginning is the modest John Demetrios, aka “Sugar John,” celebrated for creating some of the “sexiest” desserts to ever grace the show’s kitchen.
Let’s learn more about his journey and what he’s been bringing to the competition.

What’s John Demetrios’ baking background?
John grew up in Melbourne’s northern suburbs, starting his culinary career in a local bakery. From these humble beginnings, his career quickly took off.
He completed a four-year baking apprenticeship in just two years and, at 19, headed to London to begin classical training. There, he rose to lead the pastry kitchen for three-Michelin-star chef Pierre Koffmann at Koffmann’s in Knightsbridge.
Returning to Melbourne, John helmed the pastry team at Circa the Prince before becoming Head Pastry Chef at the iconic Vue de Monde.
But his international adventures weren’t over. John sharpened his skills across Scandinavia, working in Norway and Denmark before settling in Sweden as Head Pastry Chef at two-Michelin-starred Oaxen Krog under chef Magnus Ek.
In 2017, John returned to Australia to take on the role of Executive Pastry Chef for the entire Vue de Monde group.
Most recently, he’s been serving as Executive Pastry Chef at LK Hospitality, overseeing renowned venues like Omnia and Yugen.
John’s standout moments on Dessert Masters
John has been a consistent showstopper this season, wowing judges with his fine-art-on-a-plate creations. One of his most memorable dishes came during Episode 7’s elimination challenge, where contestants showcased four of Judge Amaury Guichon’s signature techniques.
John’s Alter Ego dessert was a masterpiece: a hazelnut base layered with dense brown butter and caramel ganache, a sponge cake flavoured with hazelnut and cognac, and passionfruit curd with blood orange juice. Topping it all was a stunning chocolate carnation.
Armoury described it as “perfectly thought out and executed,” while co-judge Melissa Leong praised John’s work as “masterful.”

And who could forget his recent take on Snow White, which earned him the nickname “Sugar John”? An exquisite trio of decadent desserts inspired by the food in the fairy tale – pumpkin soup, gooseberry pie, and, of course, a blown sugar “poison” apple.
Each element also reflected his experience in Melbourne, Sweden, the UK, and the Netherlands. Talk about a feat!

Will John win Dessert Masters 2024?
With his charming humility and undeniable talent for crafting extraordinary desserts, John is a Dessert Masters fan favourite. No doubt, many would love to see him crowned champion.
With the countdown to the finale officially on, it won’t be long until we see if John can take home the Dessert Masters’ crown!

Three-part docuseries Anatomy of Lies exposes Grey’s Anatomy writer Elisabeth Finch, who sent shockwaves through Hollywood when her carefully constructed web of lies unravelled.
For years, Elisabeth fooled Hollywood with tales so harrowing they seemed impossible to question. But the mask was ripped off in a tell-all feature published in Vanity Fair in 2022.
Now, the story behind her journey of deceit will be explored even deeper in Anatomy of Lies, a gripping docuseries that offers viewers an inside look at the lies, manipulation, and betrayal that fueled her rise to fame.
When will Anatomy of Lies be released?
The series will premiere on November 29 at 9:30pm on 7Bravo and 7Plus.
What is the scandal involving Elisabeth Finch?
Elisabeth, who also worked on The Vampire Diaries and True Blood, gained prominence with her powerful storytelling on Grey’s Anatomy.
However, her success was built on one of the most audacious fabrications in Hollywood history: a fake cancer diagnosis that not only landed her a writing job on the hit show but also earned her the sympathy and admiration of colleagues who believed her to be a tragic, heroic figure.

Finch’s writing, they thought, was informed by her own personal battles, her supposed suffering translating into genius.
But behind the scenes, Elisabeth’s most egregious lies were reserved for those closest to her.
How did Elisabeth Finch get exposed?
One of her greatest victims was her estranged wife, Jennifer Beyer, who trusted Finch with her deepest secrets.
Beyer would ultimately be the one to expose the truth, tipping off Grey’s Anatomy producer Shonda Rhimes about the writer’s shocking deception.
Now, as Beyer steps forward to unravel the web of lies that ensnared Hollywood, she faces the daunting task of reclaiming the narrative from a master manipulator.

Who’s behind Anatomy of Lies?
The series features insights from those closest to Finch, many speaking for the first time.
Directed and executive produced by Evgenia Peretz and David Schisgall, Anatomy of Lies is produced by Vanity Fair Studios in collaboration with Dorothy St. Pictures, with Helen Estabrook, Sarah Amos, Claire Howorth, Vicki Cooper, Melanie Archer, and Julia Nottingham serving as producers.
Anatomy of Lies premiers at 9.30pm Friday, 29 November on 7Bravo and plus.

Viewers were left with a wholesome ending to My Kitchen Rules (MKR) 2024, with winner Simone — who was teamed up with Viviana — revealing that he and his partner were expecting a baby during the grand finale.
It turns out Simone’s girlfriend Victoria discovered that she was pregnant while Simone was filming MKR.
During an exclusive interview with Chattr, Simone revealed that “being far away from home while my partner was pregnant” was what he struggled with the most.
“We found out [that Victoria was pregnant] why we were on the show,” he explained, adding that they had a few chances to see each other during filming.

“We came back a few times to cook at home, and she joined me a couple of times around Australia just to see each other. But, it was very challenging, and it was really tough.”
Simone told Chattr that he and Victoria have decided to call their son Romeo, and revealed that he’ll be born in the new year.
“Romeo will be due in January,” he revealed. “We were hoping for [the pregnancy], and it was like a dream come true.”
So will Simone teach Romeo to be a whiz in the kitchen like his dad?
“Well, he’s going to have some Italian blood inside him, so I feel like he will come naturally for him,” the MKR champ laughed.
Simone told Chattr that he’d put most of his money towards helping his family.
“I will use it towards my son Romeo; that will be a big, big help.I will also use it towards my dad’s visa; I’m trying to bring him to Australia,” he shared.
“He lives in Italy. His dream was always to come and join me when I was settling in Australia.”
Simone shared that his dad was “over the moon” about Simone’s win and “couldn’t be more proud”.
Scugnizzi Italian Street Food opened in 2023 and serves pizza, pasta and other Italian goodies to people in Brisbane’s CBD.
Speaking to The Weekend Edition, Simone said he saw a lack in Italian fast food places where you could grab a slice of pizza and go.
“At the moment Brisbane is saturated with so many amazing Italian restaurants where you can sit down and enjoy a Neapolitan-style pizza, but there is nowhere you can go and grab a slice of pizza in teglio (Roman-style pizza in tray) to go,” he told the publication.
What can you order at Scugnizzi Italian Street Food?
Scugnizzi offers pizza by the slice or whole, pasta like carbonara and bolognese, burrata bowls, arancini and Italian desserts like tiramisu and Napoli babà. Yum!
What does Scugnizzi mean?
Scugnizzi is an Italian word from the Neapolitan dialect meaning larrikins that hang on the streets, according to The Weekend Edition.
What do people say about Scugnizzi Italian Street Food?
Diners have nothing but glowing reviews for the Italian fast food place.
“Amazing amazing amazing. Absolute BEST pasta I have ever had. I have never been a pasta fan like my wife and daughter, but finishing my Ravioli, I slurped up what remained of theirs. And the experience, next level,” one reviewer wrote on Google.
Another reviewer glowed about the gluten-free options and the friendly staff!
“I just had the most delicious gluten free pasta here. They were able to make my meal separately to limit cross contamination. The staff were just so lovely, kind and helpful. The meal sizes were perfect in my opinion and the flavor of the pasta was deliciously balanced. I think I am going to be dreaming about this pasta and making special trips just to have some. Thank you so much for my delicious meal,” they wrote.
Do I need to book a table at Scugnizzi Italian Street Food?
No, you don’t just walk in and order your food. But, because it is takeaway there is limited seating at the restaurant.
