Twelve celebrities were thrown into the South African jungle with not much more than red t-shirts and a few luxury items on I’m A Celebrity Australia 2024.
Those celebs, including A-lister Frankie Muniz, mega influencer Skye Wheatley and Paralympic icon Ellie Cole, are undertaking goosebumps-inducing Tucker Trials and roughing it up to win money for their chosen charities.
The celebrities will be eliminated one by one from the jungle until a single Jungle Queen and or Jungle King is left standing, and that person will win $100,000 for their charity.
Find out who’s left I’m A Celebrity… Australia 2024 so far.

Khahn Ong and Candice Warner on I’m A Celebrity. Ten.
How to vote on I’m A Celebrity
Throughout the season there are three different scenarios where viewers can vote.
The first is the Trials, which see a few of the celebrities sent to a challenge and try to win enough stars for all of their campmates to receive food for dinner. These trials are almost always gross, and quite often, scary.
As the season progresses, there will eventually be an elimination, which is decided by public vote. Lastly, viewers will be able to vote for the winner of I’m A Celebrity Australia 2024.
To vote for the aforementioned, viewers will need to head to the Channel 10 I’m a Celebrity website and make sure they have an account which they’ve verified by email. Then, just simply select the voting tab in the green bar.
For example, if you’re voting to save a celebrity, you’ll select the ‘Vote to Save’ tab. You can see an example below.
Once the page of contestants shows, simply click on which celeb you want to vote for.
Keep in mind that the tabs are only available when the voting has been announced on the show. So the elimination tab and winner tab will only be visible once it’s possible for viewers to vote in those categories.
You can also find direct links to each category below

Diane von Furstenberg is the embodiment of an icon; she launched her own empire, dressed some of the most famous people of all time and has inspired millions of women all over the world.
Now, the world is given an insight into her incredible journey in the new Disney+ documentary Diane von Furstenberg: Woman in Charge.
Here’s everything we know about Diane von Furstenberg: Woman in Charge.
Diane von Furstenberg: Woman in Charge. Disney+.
An unprecedented look at the non-stop life of a cultural luminary. At a time when gender equality and women’s issues are at the forefront, Diane von Furstenberg’s life exemplifies empowerment, resilience, entrepreneurship, and style. She is an inspiration to women with her unapologetic demeanour. Diane never saw herself as a victim of sexism; rather, she embraced her femininity in a strong and profound way, forging a path for her daughter and the next generation of women to follow.
Few women embody the gravitas, grace, and gusto of the incomparable Diane von Furstenberg. A citizen of the world and the child of a Holocaust survivor, her story, and its impact have uplifted people around the globe. In 1974, DVF transformed not only her destiny but also that of countless women with the introduction of the iconic “wrap dress,” a unique garment that instantly bestowed fashion and confidence upon its wearers, irrespective of their shape, background, or status.

As she approaches the eve of her retrospective exhibition, marking a 50-year distinguished career, Diane von Furstenberg contemplates her pioneering path in a male-dominated realm to erect a multi-million-dollar fashion empire – as an early visionary, and influencer, she challenged the status quo with the bold inquiry, “Why can’t a woman do what a man does?”
With resolute determination, she faced various challenges – she was a single woman balancing a career, raising two children, and bravely confronting cancer. These hurdles didn’t stop her; instead, she embraced them and they fueled her mission to inspire women everywhere to pursue their lives with equal passion and purpose and design their own lives. DVF was born to be a woman in charge. And, she was born to inspire other women to take charge of their lives.

When will the documentary be released and how can you watch it?
The documentary will be available to stream from June 25th exclusively on Disney+.
Who is in the cast?
Being a documentary, there’s not exactly a cast, and will include footage of DVF throughout her life, as well as current interviews.
It’s Co-directed by two-time Academy Award-winning filmmaker Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy and Trish Dalton and produced by Fabiola Beracasa Beckman, Tracy Aftergood, Sean Stuart, Obaid-Chinoy, and Dalton.

Home and Away fans may know him as Jett from Summer Bay, but Aussie actor Will McDonald has a more recent gig as an eshay named Cash on Heartbreak High.
Will McDonald plays Douglas “Ca$h” Piggott, who is a Year 11 student at Hartley High. Cash is the high school’s drug dealer. He’s dating his classmate Darren Rivers (James Majoos), but their relationship has faced some problems because Cash is asexual.
Cash and Darren on Heartbreak High. Netflix.
Will’s role in season two of Heartbreak High has become especially poignant, as it has shined a light on asexuality in mainstream media.
In a recent interview with Chattr, Will touched on the bad boys ways of his character in season two, calling Cash “danger. Just danger all the time and from all possible angles.”
Who did Will play on Home And Away?
Will played Jett Palmer on Home and Away from 2012-2015 and appeared again for cameos in 2017 and 2019.
Will McDonald on Home and Away. Seven.
Much like Heartbreak High, Will was originally cast on Home and Away as a rebellious 13-year-old boy. His mum was a drug addict and his father wasn’t around, so John Palmer and his then-wife Gina (Sonia Todd) fostered him. He was later officially adopted by John and (his now ex-wife) Marilyn.
Jett left Summer Bay in 2015 when he received a cadet scholarship to boarding school.
Although Jett hasn’t been back to the Bay since 2017, he was mentioned in a recent episode. John told Marilyn that he’d recently got engaged to his girlfriend.
“He’s proposed to Lindsey and she’s said yes,” John told Marilyn.
“I knew that this was on the cards when I was down – they were just smitten with each other. [Lindsey’s] great – you two will get on like a house on fire.”
Watch Home and Away at 7pm Monday – Thursdays on Channel 7 and 7Play.
Married At First Sight’sLauren Dunn has been doing the rounds on the Perth party scene since filming wrapped, and, apparently, hanging out with her very recent ex.
Lauren sensationally dumped her MAFS husband Jonathan McCullough at Final Vows after she discovered he was messaging fellow bride Ellie Dix. However, despite not being involved with Jonathan, Lauren may not be single?
One of her pals uploaded a photo of her at The Muster Rodeo & Music Festival In Claremont, Perth on Saturday with the arm of her ex, AFL player Ryan Crowley, around her. Instagram account MAFS.Bachie.Reality quickly sleuthed out the photo and reposted it – and Lauren and her ex look very cosy.
MAFS Lauren (second from right) with her ex Ryan (third from right).
“Lauren was going around introducing him as her ex and appeared quite flirty with one another,” a source told Daily Mail Australia of the couple’s night out together.
How long was Lauren with her ex?
Lauren and Ryan dated for over five years and split in June 2023, with the filming of MAFS 2024 kicking off in approximately July 2023. Lauren told PerthNow that the relationship has “simply run its course”.
Who is Lauren’s ex?
Lauren’s ex is a former AFL player who played for the Dockersfor ten seasons. He won the 2012 Doig medal for being Fremantle’s best and fairest on the field – a football awards event that Lauren has attended with Ryan.

Following his time with the Dockers, Ryan played for Essendon for one season in 2016 and now works as an AFL commentator.
Who is MAFS Jonathan with now?
Lauren and Jonthan’s MAFS marriage got off to a rough start but seemed to pick up traction mid-way through the season. However, that all came crashing down when Tori revealed that Jonathan had been messaging fellow bride Ellie Dix.
Lauren and Jonathan split up at the Final Vows, and the groom went on to pursue a relationship with Ellie. The new couple have since moved in together and are in love.

Stephen K. Amos became the seventh celebrity eliminated from I’m a Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here 2024; and for the comedian who has spent his career building an on-stage persona, the Jungle unexpectedly became a place where he could truly be himself.
During a particularly poignant episode, Stephen revealed that his mother had never truly accepted his sexuality until she was on her deathbed.
Now, speaking to Chattr after his April 17 elimination, Stephen admitted that he “never in a million years” thought he would share such personal information on National television.
“I’m a man of a certain age and I’ve never said these things in an interview,” he said, adding he’d never said it on any TV program either.
“It was just that the moment was right,” he said. “It was a safe space. There were people that were respectful and who asked me questions and I knew they were just going to listen.”
He continued: “I would implore any of us if you can, find a moment where you can just pull back, strip away everything and go away for a retreat somewhere…and just have time for yourself. That is what this experience gave to me.”
Stephen during I’m a Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here, Ten
Even though he’s had decades of on-stage experience, the seasoned performer had never been in a position to do reality TV — and when I’m a Celebrity came calling, he realised he’d have to drop his facade.
“When you go into a situation where there are 12 people and different personalities, you have a choice — either present yourself as who you are, and see it through, or develop a character that you want other people to see.
“But can you maintain that? I knew I couldn’t because that’s not what I do. And to be able to be free, I knew that I wasn’t going to be judged by my fellow campmates.
“If anything, they encouraged me to get my legs out, to get my arms out, to embrace my body, to embrace the fact that I hadn’t been taught how to swim.”
Robert Irwin, Tristan MacManus, Julia Morris and Stephen K. Amos. Ten
Stephen K. Amos reveals why he never learned to swim
One of the more enchanting moments of the 56-year-old’s experience in the Jungle was when he promised himself that he’d swim to the waterfall and back by the time he’d left camp.
Then, taught by Paralympian swimmer Ellie Cole and cheered on by celebrity chef Khanh Ong, he achieved the goal, becoming one of the most heartwarming moments of the series.
“It was like everything was aligned,” he said. “I had no desire, no reason to learn how to swim. But when you’ve got someone like Ellie in your camp, you’d be a fool not to.”
Stephen also revealed his irrational “fear of the great expanse that is the sea”, saying he “may have died on the Titanic” in a previous life…or maybe it was because he’d always lived in the inner city of London.
“The only time we had swimming lessons was when I was in primary school, when we went to the local spring baths, to have some lessons…It was never a priority. So for me, I didn’t bother with them. And then I developed a fear.”
Of course, swimming wasn’t the only lesson Stephen learned on I’m a Celebrity, pointing to the bevy of incredible moments.
“For me, the best part of being in the jungle was being vulnerable and honest,” he said. “It was to be heard and to listen to others.”

Married at First Sight 2024 Eden Harper has confirmed that she and Jayden Eynaud have broken up and it seems it wasn’t mutual.
Taking to Instagram, Eden revealed that she had “long-term intentions”; however, the pairing came to “an unexpected end”.
“When I made the decision at final vows to be with Jayden, I really did that with longterm intentions,” she penned the post accompanying a carousel of images. “Jayden & I spent many months together after the experiment, during which Cub gained a dad and I gained a second family who I’m truly grateful for. [sic]”
Eden further shared that “toward the end of the show airing”, their relationship suddenly ended.
“The ‘reality’ is, the person I chose didn’t choose me. Whilst I’m disappointed, I will never regret the experiment, the people I met, the lessons I learnt and the growth this process has had on me. [sic]
“Thank you for supporting us and for also wishing for the same fairytale that I had hoped for.”
Jayden speaks out about the break up
An hour later, Jayden took to Instagram to share the news.
“Sometimes in life, things don’t always go the way you had hoped for. After the experiment, Eden and I went back to the Gold Coast and continued to enjoy living our lives together and getting to know each other every day [sic],” he said.
“However, unfortunately, our relationship ended not long before the end of the experiment airing. As sad as it is, I’m so glad I got to go through this with such an amazing woman and a beautiful son 🐶 You will both always have a second family on the Gold Coast ❤️”
The Circle 2024 is keeping up with modern times by including an AI Bot among the cast on season six.
Of course, because it’s The Circle none of the other cast members will actually know what’s behind each screen, meaning they’ll think that the chatbot is an actual person.
The rest of The Circle 2024 cast is made up of humans who come from all over America. Among them is a proud dog dad, a Southern belle and a former NBA dancer.
As the premise of The Circle goes, each castmate will be locked in their own room and will communicate with the rest of the group simply by chatting in text messages attached to a profile picture.
However, the catch is that the contestants don’t necessarily have to be the person that they’re representing on the Netflix show. For example, a mid-20s female model could pretend to be a 50-year-old man who’s a scientist.
Throughout the show, the cast mates will rank their competitors from highest to lowest, based on their personal preference – general cast mates try to eliminate Catfish (those who aren’t who they say they are).
The rankings determine who gets blocked from the game, and, ultimately, who wins the grand prize of USD $100,000.
Meet the cast who make up The Circle 2024.
AI Bot Max
Age: 26
Location: Midwest.
About: Max is a chatbot who will be playing as a 26-year-old veterinary intern hailing from the Midwest. Why? Well, as the bot explains, choosing his age was all about being able to “leverage life experience and maturity, while still playing youthful.” His profession “highlights his caring and nurturing side” in order for him to appear “more likable to players.” Holding a dog in his profile picture is also part of the bot’s strategy, as photos with dogs “receive 38% more likes on social media.”
Kyle
Age: 31
Location: Miami
About: “Proud dog dad” Kyle just couldn’t join The Circle solo, so he’s entering the game with his best (furry) friend, Deuce. The married professional basketball player is competitive at heart, saying, “I hate losing more than I like winning.” But to get players off his scent, he’s joining the experiment as an extremely single basketball trainer.
Cassie
Age: 29
Location: Manchester, Kentucky
About: This Southern belle has a history with catfishing, as she caught her ex-husband cheating after making a fake profile. “A fake can point out another fake,” she says. But Cassie is putting the past behind her by joining the game as herself: a newly engaged mother of two who’s ready to expose the competition.
Brandon
Age: 34
Location: Columbus, Ohio
About: As a self-described “adult Cabbage Patch kid,” Brandon is ditching his real-life persona and going full catfish in the game. The nursing assistant will be playing as his friend and colleague Olivia, hoping to combine his “brains and personality” with her “body-ody-ody” to come out on top. “This is my opportunity to be hot because I’ve never gotten to do that before,” he says.
Quori-Tyler
Age: 26
Location: Los Angeles
About: This former NBA dancer is no stranger to making moves — and she won’t be dancing around anyone’s feelings in the chat. Quori-Tyler is coming into The Circle as a secret superfan, who’s watched every single episode multiple times. “I’m here to play the game and be a mastermind at it,” she says. And while she’s all about strategy, a Circle romance isn’t completely off the table for Quori-Tyler, as she says she’s “single as a Pringle.”
Lauren
Age: 26
Location: Philadelphia
About: Lauren is ready to “slay the day” by being 100% herself in The Circle. The former Twitch streamer is comfortable talking to people through a screen — after all, she used to game for up to 10 hours a day. Lauren is open to all kinds of connections in the experiment, as she’s a “naturally flirty” nerd who’s fresh out of a relationship.
Caress
Age: 37
Location: Dallas
About: A motivational speaker, Caress has a natural way with words. But she’s trading in speeches for bars, joining the game as her younger brother Paul, a rapper and singer. “Everybody’s catfishing online, so why not me?” she says. Caress hopes that she’ll be able to harness her sibling’s social media power — he has more than 300,000 followers, while going into the game, she’s barely cracked 3,000.
Myles
Age: 29
Location: Los Angeles
About: Don’t judge Myles (or his alter ego, “Yung Papi Fuego”) by appearances. While he openly embraces his self-described “fuckboy” energy, he’s also an AI engineer who has a knack for strategizing and calling out catfishes. “I’m either a you love or hate me type of guy,” he says. As a “huge flirt,” Myles is hoping the ladies in the game skew toward the former.
Steffi
Age: 35
Location: Redondo Beach, California
About: Charge your crystals and unblock your chakras because Steffi is here to make her mark (along with her emotional support skeleton). The psychic medium and professional astrologer will be using her fine-tuned intuition in the game to outlast the other players. But she isn’t telling anyone about her (super)natural gifts — or that her dead aunt might be giving her tips in the game.
Autumn
Age: 21
Location: Murfreesboro, Tennessee
About: Players be warned: Autumn is used to getting her hands dirty, working outdoors, and wrangling animals as a full-time ranch hand. She’s bringing an “I don’t give a damn” attitude into the game, where she’s competing as her “genuine weird redneck self.” To land herself in the finale, Autumn is planning on building alliances, leveraging her Southern charm, and flexing her flirting skills if need be.
Jordan
Age: 24
Location: Austin, Texas
About: Jordan is heading into The Circle as himself — but with a little bit of a twist. Since he now “gets easily mistaken as a douchebag” online, the photographer is turning back the clock a few years to appear more approachable. “Before I lost weight, everyone saw me as a friendly giant,” he says. But don’t let his “Big J” persona fool you, as Jordan is ready to get messy in the game and spread misinformation to make it to the top.
Every year on I’m A Celebrity Australia it’s the same story; Celebrities smuggle things into camp that aren’t allowed, which are considered ‘contraband’.
Of course, because the campmates are constantly being filmed, they are almost always caught and have to hand over their items to production.
Find out what the celebs had to say about the contraband they smuggled in, and how they did it!
Khanh’s contraband
There’s no doubt that Khanh Ong was the contraband king on I’m A Celebrity 2024. Of course, being a chef Khanh has filled all his hiding places with things like spices and cooking condiments.
“I had coffee, I had hot chocolate, I had sugar, salt and milk powder. I had protein powders, I had pre-workout, I had spice mixes, I had electrolytes, BCAAs and there was just so much chocolate,” he laughed.
Khanh emptying his contraband. Ten.
“There were lollies as well. We had nuts, I had so many different types of nuts, throughout the day I’d just drop nuts into people’s hands. When I was cooking, I was like putting spices in things just to make things more tasty,” he added.
However, when producers told the campmates that they had to get rid of all the contraband that they’d snuck into camp, Khanh fully obliged.
“But when the contraband had to be taken off, I literally just threw everything out, I was just like guys just eat what you can, I just need to put the hair dye back into my hair so that Australia doesn’t know that i don’t naturally have pink hair.”
Khanh dying his hair with his contraband. Ten.
Candice’s contraband
Candice Warner may have come for Skye Wheatley in another iconic I’m A Celebrity fight over lipstick *cough* Kerry Anne Kennerly *cough*, but she actually smuggled in some contraband herself.
During an interview with Chattr, Candice revealed that she bought in some lollies, and one campmate caught her in the act of eating them.
Candice Warner on I’m A Celebrity. Ten.
“I put it in my pocket, actually, it was a bag of snakes,” she revealed.
“The hardest thing was that when you open a bag of Allen’s Snakes it’s loud. It was a struggle each time I put my hand in my bag,” she laughed.
“Stephen was sleeping near me and he saw them. So, what I ended up doing every night before we’d go to bed, I would give him a snake and I’d have a snake and we’d sort of chew on that as we went to sleep. And that was our thing until the packet ran out.”
A pack of Allen’s snakes has a good amount of lollies inside, and if Candice and Stephen were only snacking on one a day, one would think they’d last until the finale. However, Candice admitted that she’d sneak a few more when people weren’t looking.
Stephen and Tristian on I’m A Celebrity. Ten.
“I gave him one at night but I was having a few throughout the day. There was no caffeine [at camp], there was nothing but it’s all really fun. And some people were fabulous with what they brought in and it’s all in good spirits.”
Denise Drysdale’s contraband
Denise Drysdale broke the cardinal I’m A Celebrity contraband rule when she entered the camp, but it was with the best intentions in mind. The veteran TV personality hit the jungle with a bra full of Werther’s Original lollies.
“I had them in at four o’clock in the afternoon, and I didn’t go into camp too early, it was so uncomfortable they were sticking to me,” she said.
“And then the worst of it was I took them in for everyone and then they found I had contraband and they took them off me.”
Denise on I’m A Celebrity. Ten.
“I wanted them so that when I was really down and out, or everybody was, I could go around and give them out and they all went after half an hour. I had that and some Tiger Balm ointment.”
As viewers saw, Denise didn’t only take in contraband in the form of the balm and treats, but she also packed her medicine bag full of necessities.
“You should have seen my medicine case. I catered for everything. Anything that happened I was reading for but the Metamucil, can I just say, didn’t work.”

Former Married At First Sight participant Matt Ridley has found his happy ending with the news that he’s engaged to school teacher girlfriend, Dominique Nielsen.
Matt Ridley was paired with Kate Laidlaw on season nine of MAFS, which aired in 2022. The couple (obviously) didn’t work out, and Matt met Dominique in September 2022, five months after his MAFSseason finished airing.
The former MAFS groom shared the big news on Instagram.
“She said yes 💍 I’m the luckiest man in the world to have met you and fallen deeply in love with you. You are my world and I cannot wait to marry you,” he wrote.
Matt popped the question in March 2024 on Noosa’s Little Cove Beach while the couple were on holiday.
“I knew that if we were going to get engaged that was going to be the spot,” he told 9Now.
“So I organised some accommodation and she was incredibly surprised… she started crying and she immediately said yes with a big smile.”
“So I organised some accommodation and she was incredibly surprised… she started crying and she immediately said yes with a big smile.”
Matt proposed with a 14K rose and white gold diamond ring from Simon Curwood Jewellers.
“I got it to match Dom – to match Dom’s smile and her excitement,” Matt told the publication.

Matt’s journey to have a family
During his time on Married At First Sight, Matt shared the heartbreaking IVF journey he’d been on with his ex.
His now-fiance Dominique has a 10-year-old son named Heath, who Matt now calls the family he “always yearned for”. Matt ensured that Heath was there for the proposal.
“I wanted him to be the first to congratulate us with the big hug and he did, so that made it a bit more special knowing he was there to see something incredible between his mum and his stepdad,” he explained.
Married At First Sight’sMadeleine Maxwell has broken her silence about how she was portrayed on the hit reality TV show.
Madeleine has claimed that some of her producer-led interviews were used out of context, and without background info, which led her final edit to come across as quite bizarre.
Madeleine used a specific scene between her and her on-screen husband Ash Galati as an example. The date took place during the couple’s MAFS honeymoon when they visited a farm for lunch.
Madeleine on MAFS. Nine.
Madeleine cried over the fact that the cows would likely be used for food, despite having been shown eating meat for dinner the night before.
Madeleine explained on Yahoo Lifestyle’s Behind The Edit podcastthat she had been vegan and vegetarian on and off for the last six to seven years, but was eating meat at the time of the show because of a medication she was on for her skin.
“So the cow scene. There is just a lot of context removed,” she told the publication. “I was on medication for my skin and I needed healing happening really quickly. So I was eating meat, not red meat, but meat.”
“When I see the cows after what I did the night before, it’s kind of feeding into that guilt and shame I was feeling in the voxxie [producer interview] prior…. watching that back, oh my god, it seems so full on, but you’re unearthing so much about love and what you desire and what you’ve done in the past that may or may not be a good choice or whatever,” she said.
Madeleine and Ash on MAFS. Nine.
Madeleine says her interviews were used out of context
Madeleine revealed that some of the interviews she’d done with producers were mashed up and used during unrelated scenes.
“And I will say this. There’s a voxxie in between where I go, completely unrelated to the cow, where I explode and I go, ‘I’m so f***ing annoying!’ and it was about the relationship once again, so it had nothing to do with me being upset I was eating meat, it was an explosion of like, they’re pushing on a relationship topic that I don’t want to go into.
Madeleine and Ash on MAFS. Nine.
The Psychic Medium explained that the real reason that she was so frustrated at the time was over her relationship with Ash, not about seeing the cows.
“So I’m aware I’m really emotional that day, and I’m aware of what it will look like on camera, so that’s why I’m saying I’m so f***ing annoying, because I can’t stop crying about this other topic!” she said.
However, Madeleine acknowledged that reality TV shows do tend to edit content in order to entertain viewers.
“I think so much plays into stupid things like that, and Married At First Sight is just going to market it as I guess, funny or weird, or because I’m a medium, but yeah it was actually a lot deeper to me.”
“People just think I’m this bats**t crazy b***h, but you know, that too, but also not,” she laughed.
Breaking the fourth wall of reality TV is almost never not interesting, and some leaked Farmer Wants a Wife casting secrets are certainly juicy, to say the least.
An anonymous source teased that the behind-the-scenes drama to come rivals that of the drama-filled show Married At First Sight, and revealed what really happens in the lead-up to the show.
“What is usually the MAFS antidote after Easter is going to be a B&S Ball from hell in the best way possible,” the insider told Yahoo Lifestyle Australia.
How the women are cast
According to the publication, the Farmer Wants a Wife hopefuls submit written applications, and those who make it through that round are brought in for group auditions.
“At this stage, the girls sign their first NDA,” the source said. “There is very little you can tell your friends and family until the shoot is over! We often hear that girls inform their family they are going on a holiday to Bali.”
The insider added that the casting team prioritises women who have a specific Farmer in mind, over hopefuls who are happy with anyone.
“We don’t want everyone going for the Farmer Bert type,” they said. “Even though you will often get more applications for one farmer over another. At this point, all women will meet with the executive producer, and psychologist and have their police/medical checks. This process is usually completed a month before filming.”
The producers usually know who the Farmers will pick
Yup, the producers have a good idea about who they think the Farmers will pick before the show even begins filming. That’s because they’ve spent enough time with the leads to find out exactly what they’re hoping to find, and they can usually match one of the Ladies to exactly that.
“We usually know who the farmers will pick before the show starts filming,” the source said. “Of course, we can be surprised but the girls are cast to fill a character role and that helps us shoot the show.”
Producers have a heavy hand on the date conversations
According to the source, the date conversations generally start off naturally between the Farmer and his date but are manipulated by producers if the chat isn’t going in the right direction.
“Quite often when the one-on-one dates are happening and the contestants are naturally talking, producers tell them their conversations are not interesting enough,” the source says. “Which is when the producers will tell them exactly what to say.”

It may be Taylor Swift’s week with the launch of her new album; however, boyfie Travis Kelce has some news of his own.
On April 17, Prime Video announced the production of Are You Smarter than a Celebrity, a spinoff of Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader, hosted by the one and only, Travis.
“I grew up loving game shows, and I’m excited to be following in the footsteps of so many TV icons by hosting my very first one with Are you Smarter than a Celebrity,” Travis said in a statement.
“The original show is a great success, so to be bringing a new format with everyone’s favorite celebrities to the screen, will definitely be entertaining. I’m just happy to be on the hosting side of the equation here and excited to see how these famous faces keep up,”
So, what else do we know about this random venture?
What will happen in the TV Show?
According to Prime Video, Are You Smarter Than a Celebrity? will “offer a fun, new twist on the premise of the original popular format. Each game will welcome an adult contestant who will rely on a classroom full of celebrities from stage, screen, and sports to help them answer 11 questions on a range of subjects, pulled from elementary [primary school] curriculum, to win a $100,000 prize.
“They are not competing against the stars…they’re enlisting their help and, in some cases, can even “cheat” off them.
“And on the final question, worth $100,000, the contestant selects one celebrity to discuss the answer with before locking in. The final question is always at the 6th-grade level!”
When will it be released and what platform?
Prime Video will play home to the new series; however, not start date has been released (at the time of publication).
Who is Travis Kelce?
In case you’ve been living under a pop-cultureless rock, Travis is one of the most recognisable names in sports and pop culture.
While literally 99% of the world had no idea who he was until he started dating Taylor, Travis’ team — the Kansas City Chiefs — also won the Super Bowl LVIII.
The 34-year-old is also an eight-time Pro Bowler and four-time All-Pro, and is arguably one of the greatest tight ends of all time (whatever that means).
He’s also the co-host of the charting-topping sports podcast, New Heights, and was also the singular suitor in Catching Kelce — a dating competition series, where 50 women from 50 states vied to win the heart of the pro football player.
Who will the celebrities be?
We have no idea, but it’s the US, so they’re bound to be good… however, we doubt Ms Swift will be joining in on the fun!
Is there a trailer?
Unfortunately not yet and we’re as devo as you about it!

You’d think being an Australian TV chef and icon would exempt you from being positively starstruck; however, for Khanh Ong, coming face-to-face with an idol in the I’m a Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here Jungle made him just so.
Speaking to Chattr after his April 16 elimination, Khanh said that someone behind the camera made him squeal with excitement.
“I’m obsessed with Julia[Morris] and Robert [Irwin],” Khan confessed. “But there was another person that I literally lost my s**t over. Terri Irwin.”

Khanh then revealed that Terri watches the Trials, with one particular memory sticking out.
“I literally started screaming [during one Trial] and Ellie’s[Cole] like, ‘Why are you screaming?’. I’m like, Terri’s there. She’s just standing there, she’s smiling. She’s just so wholesome.
“I love Robert, love Julie but Terri in the corner? I lost my s**t!
He continued: “I honestly died. Like when I came out this morning, and I could hug her. It made the entire experience for me.”
Khanh shares other favourite moments in the jungle
While meeting Terri was a highlight, Khanh also shared other moments he treasured.
“It was really the moments where I could sit down during dinnertime because I had sous chef every night,” he said. “That was the moment where I could really speak to people because I think food kind of disarms you a little.
“So everyone opened up a little bit more and I got to know people, just because they were comfortable with the fact that we were preparing food. Those were the moments for me that I really will cherish. Learning about people’s kids and people’s families, and things like that.”
In addition, Khanh admitted that the Jungle felt like a “school camp”, where you “just want to run around and do dumb stuff”.

But one of the real highlights came when Stephen K Amos swam from the pontoon to the waterfall — an achievement that Khanh and Elli helped make possible.
“That’s actually one of my favourite moments. Just watching how joyful he was to swim from the pontoon to the waterfall and back. He was so happy. He had learned a skill.
“It looked like he really, really got something out of the Jungle and it was so different from anyone else. I was just so happy for him.”

Frankie Muniz bid an emotional farewell to his campmates during the I’m A Celebrity episode that aired on Sunday, April 14.
The Malcolm actor explained to his cast mates that he was missing his wife and son and wanted to be more “present” for them, and decided to leave after he received a letter from home.
During an interview with Chattr,Frankie revealed that there was more to his departure than just receiving the letter.
“It was a hard thing to do,” said of his choice, but explained that he’d found himself in a good place in the jungle, and was worried if he stayed longer that headspace may have changed.
“I’m not a quitter, I didn’t want to quit. I ended up being in there for 21 days. And I think it was on day seven, that I already felt like I had such an eye-opening experience – it was like a wellness retreat,” he said.
“I kept having I have days where I was just like, ‘I want my wife and my son to get this version of me,'” he added.
“I had some talks with people and I was afraid that the longer I stayed, maybe campmates would start fighting, or maybe people leaving was going to bring me down.
“I kept still learning about myself and kept having all these positive experiences and, then getting the letter that morning was the breaking point because I realised that I hadn’t necessarily been present with my wife and my son.”
Frankie on his relationship with his wife and son
During season ten of I’m A Celebrity, Frankie spoke about being in a financial position to retire, but his desire to keep working.
In our interview, he said that his experience in the jungle has put the importance of spending time with his family in perspective.
“I’m just so busy and stressed and I put all those things [work] not first, but like I always say, as soon as I’m done with this, I’ll have time as soon as I’m done with this, I’ll be better. And it just never ends, right? Just this never-ending cycle,” he said.
Frankie said this realisation was what tipped his decision to walk out of the show.
“I’m like, no, ‘let me put my money where my mouth is, and go do it right now’. It was very hard decision to make because I loved the experience. I love everybody that was in the jungle with me. So I was also leaving my friends.
“It was tough, I just did it and I don’t regret it. But I have gotten sad about not being in the jungle anymore.”

Below Deck bosun, Ben Willoughby has gone rogue on Instagram and said he’s at a “crossroads” about whether to expose the “truth” of the show.
Ben, who hasn’t exactly been portrayed too badly on season on Below Deck season 11 took to Instagram to drop some bombshells about the popular reality TV show.
During a question-and-answer session, an anonymous fan asked Ben if he plans to come back for another season of Below Deck.
“I used to once love Below Deck,” Ben cryptically responded. When pressed for an answer the Bosun replied “There’s too much that isn’t seen. I’m at a crossroads as the whether the truth needs to be told or I don’t let this consume me anymore.”
Ben slams the editing on Below Deck
Ben started as a lead decky on Below Deck season 11 and was quickly promoted to the bosun position. Once he was in charge, Ben had to make the thought decision about who to promote to his second in charge; Sunny Marquis or newcomer Dylan Pierre De Villiers.
He chose Sunny, who he’s been in a boat-mance with, and the decision upset Dylan.
Looking back, on how he’s come across this season, Ben has called out the editing of the show.
“I can’t control the edit. I know what I stood for in those episodes to come. The entire production team know the crap I had to deal with this season,” he told his Instagram followers.
Does Ben get fired on Below Deck season 11?
Ben’s negative comments could lead fans to assume that he was fired during the season, however, the bosun has since reassured his followers that that wasn’t the case.
“Never been sacked as mentioned previously. I had my reasons for what I stood for. It’s a shame none of it will be aired,” he said on Instagram.
While Ben has been cryptic about whether he’d be interested in returning to Below Deck, he told his followers he’d happily join Below Deck Med or Below Deck Sailing in a “heartbeat”.
Already engrossed in Farmer Wants a Wife 2024 and ready for more?! Well according to host Samantha Armytage, there are “a few surprises” you won’t want to miss.
Speaking to Chattrjust before the season began, Samantha — who is hosting for the second time this year — revealed that while she can’t “tell us too much”, she did say that “there was a situation” that unfolded that “perhaps hasn’t happened in the past!”
“What everybody loves about Farmer is still there,” the 47-year-old said. “[This year] Ladies changed their mind on things and we couldn’t act to that, so we went way off script.
Farmer Wants a Wife 2024 Farmers, Seven
“The producers would say to me, ‘Ok, we thought X was going to happen tonight, but Y is going to happen now.”
When asked if there was a potential Farmer / Lady swap (can you imagine?!), Sam said: “We don’t encourage it” adding that they “try to keep it fairly wholesome”.
“That is not going to happen,” she added. “But look, let me say there were things that happened during filming that we did react to, which I think you have to. But It’s all pretty good clean fun!”
This year’s farmers include Farmer Bert, 30, from Wamuran, Queensland; Farmer Joe, 33, from Bombala, NSW; Farmer Dustin, 26, from Condobolin, New South Wales; Farmer Dean, 25, from Kandanga, Queensland andFarmer Tom, 22, from Tabilk, Victoria, whom Sam says are “all very different”.
“There’s something for everybody,” she said adding that the Ladies who applied “are also all very different and have quite a diverse range of personalities”.

She continued: “I am just absolutely blown away by how accomplished, dynamic and brave these women are, who applied on this on the show. We get 1000s of applications.
“There are so many women that want to marry a Farmer and move to the country. It just blows my mind.”
