Farmer Jarrad’s band defends star against claims he was on the show for the wrong reasons

12 May 202512 May 2025 by Tahlia Pritchard

Farmer Wants A Wife’s Jarrad Wrigley may have left the show last week happily coupled up with Chloe, but that hasn’t stopped some people speculating that the Farmer wasn’t on the series for the “right reasons.”

With rumours also swirling that the 22-year-old Farmer and Chloe were unable to make it work on the outside, some Farmer Wants A Wife viewers have taken to TikTok and Facebook groups to speculate whether Farmer Jarrad was on the show to further his music career.

One of Farmer Jarrad’s bands, The Filthy Animals, have uploaded some videos of the singer on TikTok, where some fans have been quick to question his motives.

“So this is his ulterior motive for going on Farmer Wants A Wife, self promotion,” one person commented. “NAHHHH, he’d SURELY have his groupies, so why the need to be on Farmer Wants A Wife?!” another said.

“Surely he didn’t have to go on TV to find a wife… just sing to me and I’m yours,” one hopeful person commented.

Farmer Jarrad’s band defends star: ‘We don’t want him tarnished’

The Filthy Animals, the band Jarrad sometimes performs with, have told Chattr that Jarrad is a good guy and that he “definitely lives and works on a farm”.

“We can’t speak for Jarrad other than to say, working with him, we’ve found him to be respectful, reliable and a damn fine talent we are proud to have in our band. His vocals add a different flavour to our songs which we love!” the band said in a statement to Chattr.

“Jarrad definitely lives and works on a farm and is older and wiser than his years. It’s The Filthy Animals [who] have been sharing these music videos not Jarrad…we don’t want him tarnished with a tag for only being on the show for his music career because of anything we’ve done to promote him as part of our band …He’s a good guy and we love working with him.”

Are Jarrad and Chloe still together in real life?

Rumours are currently rife that the young couple haven’t made it work on the outside, but of course we won’t know for sure until the Farmer Wants A Wife reunion airs.

The Daily Mail recently reported that Jarrad was out and about in January 2025, not long after filming, with a source saying he was acting like a single man.

“He didn’t act like someone in a relationship,” the person said, saying they saw Jarrad at a country music gig in Tamworth. “He was chatting up women left and right. He even joked about being ‘done with dating shows.’ Honestly, it seemed like he was single or just didn’t care who saw.”

Another source told the publication they had also encountered Jarrad out and about, saying he had a “flirty” demeanour.

Farmer Wants a Wife airs on Monday and Tuesday nights at 7:30pm on Channel 7 and 7Plus.

Farmer Wants A Wife’s Daisy reveals what Clarette is really like: ‘Villain edit’

9 May 202527 May 2025 by Rachel Choy

There’s one Farmer Wants A Wife 2025 contestant who has polarised viewers, and that’s Farmer Thomas’ front-runner Clarette. She’s upfront, isn’t afraid to speak her mind, and she is head-over-heels for Thomas.

Former FWAW star Daisy Lamb believes Clarette is getting a “villain edit” and tells Chattr what she’s like in real life. Spoiler alert: she’s not like what producers are portraying on screen!

“I’ve spoken to Clarette, I’ve spoken to a couple of the girls from Thomas’ farm as well, who’ve said that she’s lovely,” Daisy reveals. “She’s a literature teacher, you know, so she’s a really lovely person.”

The former reality TV contestant believes that production takes advantage of women who know what they want out of Farmer Wants A Wife.

“If they’ve got someone that goes in there [who] knows what they want, they’re there for the right reasons. They’re here to find love, they want to spend time with the farmer. Then [production can] grab that person and they’ll go, yeah, right. We can make her look jealous, we can make her look needy, we can make her look clingy,” Daisy explains.

“They just run with the strongest personality, and then they’ll make that into the villain.”

It’s a reality TV playbook as old as time, and viewers are starting to smarten up and understand they’re being manipulated. With MAFS contestants like Olivia Frazer warning about how harmful a “villain edit” can be, it’s time for something to change.

How has FWAW’s Clarette reacted to the backlash?

Daisy says Clarette is finding it tough to watch Farmer Wants A Wife 2025 — as it’s similar to what she went through last year.

“She’s watching all of these [episodes] as Australia watches them. We don’t get to preview the episodes. We don’t get to see how our faces look or how our reactions are,” she says.

“I’ve spoken to her. She’s quite distraught with the edit that she’s getting, and I can understand that, you know, like I remember it myself and it was awful,” Daisy adds. “It took a little while — you’ve got to remember who you are, and you’ve got to be so strong in your values, and remember that you are a good person.”

In the end, it’s an entertainment show, and more drama equals more ratings. It would be great if it weren’t at the expense of women trying to find love, but for now, let’s just keep in mind there are real people behind the screen.

Farmer Wants a Wife airs on Monday and Tuesday nights at 7:30pm on Channel 7 and 7Plus.

Farmer Wants A Wife 2025: We’ve uncovered proof that suggests Clarette has moved to Farmer Thomas’ farm

9 May 202523 May 2025 by CHATTR Team

Calling all Farmer Wants A Wife 2025 fans, we have a MAJOR spoiler for you! Since the show was filmed a while ago, all the Ladies have been chatting about who ends up with whom.

Former FWAW contestant Daisy Lamb revealed some news in an interview with Chattr, including who Farmer Thomas picks as his winner. This is HUGE.

If you don’t want to spoil the show, move along now. This is your final spoiler warning!

It appears that Thomas picked Clarette as his Farmer Wants A Wife winner, and rumour has it that they’re still together today.

“Clarette ends up with Thomas,” Daisy tells Chattr.

“I do think they’re still together [since the show ended]. I was told by a couple of the girls from Thomas’ farm that Clarette is actually living at the farm. She is a teacher, so I’m assuming that she’s relocated and she’s working at a school there.”

Proof Clarette has moved to be with Farmer Thomas

Chattr has uncovered proof that Clarette has started a job as a teacher at a school in Wudinna near Farmer Thomas, meaning she has likely relocated to be with him.

In a newsletter released this year, Assistant Principal-Secondary Jamiee Bensen wrote: “I would like to welcome Clarette into our Secondary Teaching cohort for 2025. Clarette (Miss G) joins us from New South Wales and originally from England.

“She is a specialist English teacher and we look forward to the expertise she will bring to our classes.”

This means Clarette’s strategy of going after what she wants in a confident way has paid off — she got what she came for. Considering the show’s great track record of creating long-lasting couples, Clarette and Thomas might be the real deal.

Who were Farmer Thomas’ original ladies on FWAW?

Farmer Thomas originally invited front-runner Claire, Clarette, Ellen, Nathania and Rachael to his farm. Claire decided to leave in episode four — even though she had a strong connection with Thomas — and Nat was cut in episode three.

However, while just Clarette, Ellen and Rachael remain, Thomas will be meeting a batch of intruder ladies during Monday night’s episode: Jess, Laura, Tayla and Kirrin.

If he ends up with Clarette, he must not have much of a spark with the new arrivals! We’ll have to wait and see this all play out on screen.

Farmer Wants a Wife airs on Monday and Tuesday nights at 7:30pm on Channel 7 and 7Plus.

Georgie Tunny on how House Hunters Australia can help buyers in the ‘abysmal’ housing market

9 May 20259 May 2025 by Danica Baker

House Hunters has landed in Australia for the first time, and TV personality Georgie Tunny is the voice behind the series. Georgie is narrating the new series, which follows Australian couples as they tour three homes and hopefully land on their dream residence.

However, having recently bought her first place and regularly reporting on the housing crisis for The Project, Georgie knows firsthand just how challenging the market really is. In an interview with Chattr, she said that she hopes that the cast’s journeys on House Hunters Australia can help potential buyers in the real world.

“I hope people see it as something that is a bit hopeful at this time, because it is really hard, there’s no getting away from it. The housing market right now is abysmal for so many people trying to crack in. It’s so stressful, and it really isn’t even an option for a lot of people.

“I hope that people can watch this series, and maybe get a renewed sense of hope — that ‘hang on a second, maybe that can be in my future. If I go through that, what would I do or not do? What mistakes would I try not to make?'”

“Essentially, because it just is really disheartening at the moment. So I think that [House Hunters Australia] can offer a bit of escapism, but also some real-world tips too.”

Georgie Tunny’s advice for home buyers

Georgie and her fiance, Rob Mills bought their first home together in Melbourne in 2021, and Georgie called the process a “second full time job”.

“I’m 34, so I grew up never thinking that I would get into the property market. I actually didn’t think I’d ever be able to afford a house,” she said.

“I remember it being a really stressful time. I wish we had a little bit more fun with it, and maybe even had a bit more patience, too. There was definitely a sense of we’ve got to get in, otherwise we’ll never be able to get in. And while that may have been true, I wish we had taken a few more breaths to think about exactly what we were looking for in a house.”

Among the houses that potential House Hunters Australia buyers visit are plenty of fixer-uppers—houses that have potential but need maintenance work and renovations.

Georgie said that from her own home-buying experience, she’d recommend buyers to evaluate the costs and time that goes into houses that aren’t key turns.

“Something I’ve learned through our own house hunting experience, but through the show too, is really to think about whether or not you want to commit to a fixer-upper, and think about realistically what can be done.

“Especially at the moment, building costs, everything has just gotten astronomically expensive, and I don’t see it going down anytime soon. It just seems to be all demand and not really so much supply right now.”

Georgie reflected on the toll renovating her own fixer-upper has taken over the years.

“When we bought our property, we were definitely future-focused, being like, ‘Oh yes, in a few years, we could do this. We could extend here. It has so much potential’, and it does.

“But then, you add a few years down the track and find out whether or not it’s realistic anymore that you can actually afford to do all the things that you dreamt of — financially or even just emotionally, the time and money and energy that goes into that, it can be really it can be really hard.”

We’re sure Georgie will have some invaluable input as a narrator if any of the House Hunters Australia buyers decide on a fixer-upper!

House Hunters Australia premieres on Sunday, May 11 at 8:15pm on Channel 10 and 10Play.

MasterChef Australia 2025: What happens to all the leftover food?

8 May 20258 May 2025 by Rachel Choy

There’s one question MasterChef Australia: Back To Win 2025 fans are all asking: what happens to the leftover food?

A viewer recently pointed out that for every single challenge, the cooks open up new bags of rice, bottles of salt, oil and more — instead of using the previously opened items. So, what does production do with all the food that’s barely touched?

MasterChef Australia 2024 contestant Juan De La Cruz tells Chattr production actively looks to “prevent food waste” on set, and combats this in a number of ways.

“Sometimes lots of food is donated to a charity called Second Chance and also the staff behind the cameras takes some [home],” Juan reveals. “I also remember sometimes by the end of the week, all the fresh food from the pantry such as veggies, fruits and even some meat was up for grabs. So we would take ingredients to practice ideas during the weekend.”

He tells us that after the very first challenge, he was left with a bunch of cheese balls that didn’t get served to the judges. Apparently, they were a hot item in the MasterChef Australia kitchen!

“The production team [told me the] next day that they fought for them,” he says cheekily.

Why don’t MasterChef Australia 2025 contestants reuse pantry ingredients?

It’s a little bit strange that the MasterChef Australia 2025 contestants have to open a new bottle of oil for each challenge, but Juan says there’s a simple explanation.

“Opening a new package gives a same start level to everyone,” he says. “Think humidity in the flour, or even contamination from other ingredients that could ruin recipes.

“Ultimately, the judges will eat this food, and they want to prevent any type of contamination.”

Makes sense. With so many mysterious disappearances on MasterChef Australia already, we don’t want to see the judges get sick and go missing either!

MasterChef Australia airs on Sunday at 7pm and Monday – Wednesday at 7:30pm on Channel 10 and 10Play.

Amberlee

Amberlee is a 23-year-old vet nurse from NSW who calls herself a hard worker and said she’ll fit right in surrounded by farm animals.

“I am not a typical princess. My horses mean the world to me, so having them around is a non-negotiable.”

Annie

28-year-old sales support officer Annie from NSW wants to trade in her fancy city life to be a farm wife.

“I’m ready to swap my stilettos for some RM Williams boots and get my hands dirty,” she said.

Chloe

Chloe is a 25-year-old registered nurse from Queensland and is already familiar with farm life.

“I grew up on a hobby farm with cows, chickens, and an evil rooster called Kenny. And I’ve always loved rural life.”

Sports manager Jess is 32 and from NSW. The FWAW intruder has spent her life travelling as an athlete and is ready for the next chapter of her life.

“For years, I followed my athletic pursuits around the world, moving a lot to achieve my dreams. Now, building a future with a special someone is what I want to prioritise.”

Laura

30-year-old Laura is a mine purchasing officer from Queensland, and she hopes Farmer Thomas and she share her sense of humour.

“If you can’t have a laugh or banter, then I don’t think we’d work.”

Tayla

Tayla is a 32-year-old paramaedic from Victoria who says she has what it takes to be a Farmer’s wife.

“I have great memories of spending my school holidays at my uncle’s farm, who happens to be a fourth-generation farmer. I really respect that the farm has been in Thomas’ family for so many generations, and I feel it’s a great place to raise kids.”

Kirrin

35-year-old NSW-based flight attendant Kirrin will be sure to ruffle some feathers when she enters as an FWAW intruder.

“I don’t follow the crowd or say what people want to hear,” she teases.

“The vitamin C from his orange juice is in love with my work – it’s great for the skin.”

MAFS 2025: Carina breaks silence on romance rumours after spicy video goes viral

8 May 20259 May 2025 by Rachel Choy

The Married At First Sight (MAFS) 2025 cast have been busy partying it up at club appearances, but one video of Carina Mirable has fans speculating about her love life.

In the sultry clip — which has racked up almost two million views on social media — Carina was seen dancing with a mystery man at Alumbra in Melbourne, leading people to wonder… is this a new MAFS romance?!

However, Carina tells Chattr the pair are just friends and there’s no chance for love between the two.

“I am very single, working on myself, and just doing me for now. No man in my life,” she spills.

“The guy I was dancing with is one of my [bisexual] guy friends. I adore and have so much enjoyment and much rather dance with [queer men] than straight men, they have all given me the ick.”

A post shared by Chattr (@chattr)

When Chattr asks if she’s back on the dating apps looking for her next Paul Antoine, she dismisses that idea completely.

“[I’m] not on any dating apps. Just letting the universe take control and lead the way,” she says.

Who was the man dancing with Carina Mirabile at Alumbra in Melbourne?

It didn’t take long before Carina’s mystery man commented on the viral video, revealing himself to be Anthony Blachford.

His Instagram bio lists him as the director of Anthony Presents, a “creative agency specialising in nightlife events, influencer marketing, and premium private event services”. He also appears to be associated with Alumbra, Social Supper and The Albion Rooftop.

Carina isn’t the only reality TV star from 2025 that he’s friends with, as he also has a link to Australian Survivor cast member Kate Gloufchis. She’s a professional DJ alongside FBoy Island’s Sophie Blackley, so they run in the same circles!

Kate recently had a surprise party thrown for her by Sophie, and Anthony was on the guest list.

It looks as though MAFS 2025’s Jacqui has been sending herself money on a ‘fan donation’ site

7 May 20257 May 2025 by Tahlia Pritchard

It appears that Married At First Sight (MAFS) 2025 participant Jacqui Burfoot has been sprung donating to her own fan page, calling herself her very own “favourite bride of all time”.

The polarising 2025 star has kickstarted a Buymeacoffee.com account, with the bio, “Cameo Queen, Hot Mess, Reality TV Star, A lil cray cray, Former Lawyer, Dog Mum & recently engaged!!”

So far, there’s only been one supporter, with that supporter looking like it’s Jacqui herself — otherwise, a passionate fan sporting the exact same name.

“Thank you for all the laughs. You were our favourite bride of all time. Never a dull moment!” the comment from ‘Jacqui Burfoot’ read.

At the time of writing, the reality star hasn’t addressed this hot mess.

Jacqui’s post-MAFS career kick-off as former lawyer ups Cameo price to $75.95 per video

With Jacqui moving into her now-fiancé Clint Rice’s Tasmanian mansion not long after MAFS finished filming, she’s been busy plugging away at her jewellery business, amassing over 90k followers on that account while her personal Instagram page has been under lock and key by Channel Nine.

Jacqui has also seen massive success on Cameo, raising her price for personalised video messages to $75.95 per video, due to increasing demand. She currently boasts a 5-star rating on the platform with 143 people leaving reviews.

“Jacqui was self-deprecating, hilarious and delivered the video right on time,” one happy buyer said, with another sharing that Jacqui did a fake-cry upon request.

“Jacqui did exactly as I requested – the crying was brilliant! The message was happy, genuine and funny – my friend will absolutely love it. Jacqui did a quick turnaround and made sure it was ready on time to gift on my friend’s birthday this morning,” they wrote.

We’ve found Farmer Wants A Wife 2025’s Clarette’s old modelling shots

7 May 20257 May 2025 by Tahlia Pritchard

Farmer Wants A Wife star Clarette Annalisa has polarised fans of the show this season as she competes to win Farmer Thomas’ heart, with some people not liking her direct approach to dating the farmer.

While we’re yet to see which way Farmer Thomas will go when it comes to his choices, there’s no denying Clarette has garnered slightly more screentime than Farmer Thomas’ other Ladies, with people online also speculating the show is attempting to give her the “villain” edit. But more on that soon!

For now, it’s time to dive into the past. Call us investigative journalists here at Chattr, but we stumbled across Clarette’s old modelling photos from before her foray into farm life.

Farmer Wants A Wife’s Clarette’s old modelling photos unearthed

Before people start accusing her of chasing fame and fortune, it must be noted Clarette hasn’t been active on the modelling site since 2009 and would’ve been in her late teens when she uploaded the pics. Let’s be real, most of us have had that awkward social media era.

So enjoy these flashback photos of the once-aspiring model.

“I am [a] professional and a very determined person, when I put my mind to something I never give up!” Clarette’s bio read. “I am not afraid of hard work and love meeting new people.”

“I have always wanted to do modelling and have a passion for fashion, photography and make-up,” the profile continued, before citing she also had some runway expertise and was interesting in partaking in bridal shoots.

Why do people not like Farmer Wants A Wife’s Clarette?

Clarette has been very straightforward in her pursuit of Thomas, but it’s rubbed some fans up the wrong way, with many believing she doesn’t have genuine intentions.

“She’s jealous and she doesn’t like to lose,” one person said on a Farmer Wants A Wife Facebook thread. “Not sure if i like her or her personality can’t see her coping with the farm life,” another said, with someone else agreeing, “[It’s] like she is in a competition to “win” rather than find love. I doubt that she would be suited to farm life longterm.”

Other fans have stepped in to defend her from nasty comments. “We all know this show is heavily edited. Why do we keep falling for this and painting someone out to be the villain when we don’t even know her?” someone pointed out. “Stop falling for the producers’ tricks.”

Former Farmer Wants A Wife contestant Ellen Dunger also joined in on a Facebook thread with her own thoughts. “They often get images from different parts of a scene and mash them together to make it look like she’s feeling a certain way at a certain point,” Ellen explained. “Chances are, it was a different part. I honestly believe they are Frankenbiting her to make her the villain this year.”

Farmer Wants a Wife airs on Monday and Tuesday nights at 7:30pm on Channel 7 and 7Plus.

Are Farmer Wants A Wife’s Jarrad and Chloe still together?

6 May 20257 May 2025 by Tahlia Pritchard

Farmer Wants a Wife has indisputably had the most successful track record when it comes to Australian reality dating shows, with 11 marriages and 27 kids born from the hit series.

In tonight’s episode, Farmer Jarrad made a shocking decision to cut his journey short, after saying goodbye to two of his Ladies during the May 6 episode.

Deciding to meet the families of his remaining two Ladies, Ash and Chloe, Jarrod decided it was time to take the plunge and decide once and for all, telling Chloe that he was falling for her.

The signs were, perhaps, there all along – Chloe had initially won the first 24-hour date and had already been serenaded by the aspiring musician, with their connection only getting stronger over time.

Here’s how it all went down.

Farmer Jarrad’s final decision: ‘Go together like cold beer and country music’

Despite being the youngest Farmer, Jarrad was nothing but intentional when it came to his dating process, quickly cutting out girls until he was left with only Chloe and Ash by episode six.

In that episode, Jarrad met both the girls’ families before making his final decision after Chloe opened up to him with a heartfelt letter.

“We go together like cold beer and country music,” a teary Jarrad told Chloe. “I need you to know I’ll do my best to be better every day, because from this point on, I’d love to spend every day with you.”

As the two celebrated, Jarrad joyfully exclaimed to the camera, “I think it’s fair to say that yeah, this Farmer may have found a wife!”

Are Jarrad and Chloe still together in real life?

While Farmer Jarrad and Chloe appeared to get their happy ending on Farmer Wants a Wife, it’s not clear whether the couple are still together outside of the show.

To officially find out whether Jarrad and Chloe made it in the real world, we’ll have to wait until the FWAW Reunion episode. However, some fans aren’t convinced about Jarrad’s intentions on the show.

“I think Jarrad is more attracted to the thought of a recording contract than the ladies,” one person wrote on a FWAW Facebook group.

“Jarrad is not a farmer, nor is he looking for a wife IMO. Just wants to pursue a music career [and] get his head on TV,” another penned.

On top of that, Chloe doesn’t follow Jarrad on Instagram, which we’re hoping is just to avoid spoilers for viewers.

Rumours circulate Jarrad is single after “flirty” appearance earlier this year

The Daily Mail recently reported that Jarrad was out and about in January 2025, not long after filming, with a source saying he was acting like a single man.

Another source told the publication they had also encountered Jarrad out and about, saying he had a “flirty” demeanour.

“There was no mention of a girlfriend. He was pretty flirty. If he’s still with the girl from the show, he’s got a strange way of showing it,” they said.

Ooft. Here’s hoping these are all just rumours!

Farmer Wants a Wife airs on Monday and Tuesday nights at 7:30pm on Channel 7 and 7Plus.

Love Triangle 2025 star hits back at Mike Gunner’s claims he was ‘bullied’ by cast

6 May 20256 May 2025 by Tahlia Pritchard

As Love Triangle 2025 draws to an end, Chloe Hannigan has hit back at former MAFS groom Mike Gunner’s claims that he felt bullied by the rest of the Love Triangle Season 3 cast.

Mike had previously told Chattr that he felt he had been bullied at the dinner parties, saying, “Let’s not mess around, I was getting attacked more than what you saw, [they] came at me hard,” he divulged. “I was getting bullied.”

Mike specifically called out the women within the Love Triangle experiment for the bullying and said the group dynamic reminded him of his school days when he was bullied as a child, labelling the cast “really, really mean”.

“They were brutal to me. No sooner had I addressed the concerns of one person and their attack, somebody else had a different angle. It was just this rapid fire, like I was under fire and getting bullied,” he said.

Love Triangle’s Chloe addresses Mike’s “bullying” claims

Speaking with Chattr, when asked about Mike’s bullying accusation, Chloe said she feels as though the women did not bully Mike, and that from her perspective, it was the women “sticking up” for themselves.

“Look, bullying is a very serious accusation. It’s not a term I take lightly at all, and it and it makes me feel very sad that he felt that way,” Chloe said. “All I can say is that any form of group discussion aimed towards Mike has been shown in the episodes. So everything that you see is everything that happened when it comes to Mike, and I think that it wasn’t an attack. It was maybe us sticking up for ourselves.”

Chloe then addressed the infamous moment Mike called her “irritating” after she tried to defend his first match, Melinda, in a group conversation.

“I was called irritating for sticking up for a woman who was not there to stick up for herself. So I’m not going to go and say that I’ve been bullied by Mike. I don’t think that word matches what I experienced. And I can’t say that that’s not how he feels. If that’s how he feels, then I feel very sad for that. But I definitely do not feel as though we bullied him in any way, shape or form. We just called him out for his behaviour,” she continued.

When we asked if watching anything back on the show had surprised her, Chloe mentioned another moment during that dinner party where Mike called her irritating that she didn’t see unfold at the time.

“What does stick out to me is Melissa [Mike’s second match] sticking up for me at that second party, I had actually heard her speaking to Mike from across the table, and I heard her say the word ‘irritating’, and my first instinct was that she was agreeing with Mike and also calling me irritating,” Chloe said.

“So I sat there going, ‘Oh no, now she’s calling me irritating. This is just a nightmare.’ But actually seeing some things through the reunion and seeing her sticking up for me was so lovely, I appreciate that so much.”

MasterChef Australia: The most mysterious disappearances over the years

6 May 20256 May 2025 by Rachel Choy

It’s been a delight to have MasterChef Australia back on our screens, with many past contestants coming back for a second chance at taking out the title. Sadly, Pete Campbell was missing from Episode 3 and the judges announced he had left the competition.

This got Chattr thinking — have many MasterChef Australia contestants gone missing before? And if so, what happened?

Let’s delve into all the strange disappearances that have happened throughout MasterChef Australia’s history.

Beau Cook – Season 17

While Beau Cook is technically on Season 17, he wasn’t shown in Episodes 4 and 5 of MasterChef 2025, and he’s taken to Instagram to share his frustration.

After Episode 4 Ben shared a photo fo his pasta dish, which was Pappardelle with a beef ragu.

Then, after Episode 5 aired without a feature of Ben, he shared a text post about the dish he cooked for guest judge Peter Gilmore, and mentioned his lack of screentime.

Sarah Todd – Season 17

Sarah Todd was missing from Episodes 4 and 5 of MasterChef Australia 2025.

However, the 2022 runner-up will be back on our screens soon. At the start of Episode 4, Andy announced that Sarah was unwell and would automatically be put into the Pressure Cook, which will air on May 6. There, she will face off against Darrsh, Sav, and Ben in an Elimination Cook.

Pete Campbell — Season 17

At the beginning of Episode 3 on MasterChef Australia: Back To Win, judge Andy Allen told the contestants why Pete Campbell was absent from the kitchen.

“Due to personal reasons, Pete is unable to continue in the competition, and we wish him nothing but the best,” Andy said.

Channel 10 and Pete later confirmed it was due to a cancer diagnosis that he needed to seek treatment for.

“During production of MasterChef Australia: Back To Win, Pete Campbell received a diagnosis that required him to step away from the competition to focus on his health,” a MasterChef Australia spokesperson said.

Savindri ‘Sav’ Perera — Season 16

During MasterChef Australia 2024, contestants were sent to Hong Kong for an epic immunity challenge and to learn from some top chefs in the foodie city.

However, Savindri ‘Sav’ Perera was missing, with many fans wondering what had happened.

Andy told the cooks Sav wouldn’t be joining them in Hong Kong due to “personal reasons”.

“Look guys, unfortunately for some personal reasons, Sav won’t be able to join us this week, but we’ll be seeing her when we get back into the MasterChef kitchen,” he said.

Sav addressed her absence on Instagram, saying: “Not being in HK with the rest of the guys wasn’t easy, but life happens and I am happy to be back in the MasterChef Australia kitchen after being thoroughly loved and supported by my loved ones in South Australia.”

“Thank you for everyone who checked in and thank you for respecting my privacy.”

Josh ‘Pezza’ Perry — Season 16

Season 16 seemed to have a bunch of mysterious absences, with Josh ‘Pezza’ Perry also skipping two challenges. It turned out he was ill and unable to compete.

“Josh Perry was unwell and absent from the MasterChef Australia kitchen for two challenges. As per competition protocol following a missed elimination challenge, Josh went straight into the next elimination challenge upon his return,” a Channel 10 spokesperson said.

Lourdes Leschen — Season 16

During a MasterChef Australia redemption cook involving previously eliminated contestants, there were two that didn’t show up. Lourdes Leschen was nowhere to be seen, and she told Yahoo! Lifestyle it was due to medical reasons.

“I had an important surgery that was unable to be missed,” she explained.

Stephen Dennis — Season 16

Stephen Dennis also didn’t turn up for the MasterChef Australia redemption cook, and he shared the sad reason why.

“My mother is in hospital and is very unwell,” he told Yahoo! Lifestyle at the time. “My father passed away during Covid, so I need to support my mother and it would be unfair on my family to return to filming with this in mind.”

Rhiannon Anderson — Season 15

Near the prickly end of MasterChef Australia in 2023, fans were baffled when only four contestants took place in a final five immunity challenge.

Judge Melissa Leong sadly revealed that Rhiannon Anderson wouldn’t be taking part due to illness, putting her at a bit of a disadvantage.

“Unfortunately Rhiannon isn’t feeling well today so she won’t be joining us, which sadly also means she’s out of the running for the immunity challenge tomorrow,” she said at the time.

Alice Han, Antonio Cruz Vaamonde, Cath Collins, Declan Cleary, Jessica Perri, Larissa Sewell, Rhiannon Anderson and Theo Loizou — Season 15

Rhiannon also went missing during an earlier episode of MasterChef Australia 2023, alongside seven other cooks. Alice Han, Antonio Cruz Vaamonde, Cath Collins, Declan Cleary, Jessica Perri, Larissa Sewell, Theo Loizou and Rhiannon were absent from a challenge, which had to be altered due to Covid.

With half of the cast out sick, the challenge was split into two groups.

“Welcome to a brand new week in the MasterChef kitchen,” Melissa said. “As you can see, a couple more contestants are missing today. Covid strikes again. But, in lighter news, you guys have survived your first elimination!”

Brent Draper — Season 13

MasterChef Australia fans were sad to see Brent Draper disappear from Season 13, as he seemed like a strong competitor.

He told late judge Jock Zonfrillo he was struggling with his mental health and needed to step away from the kitchen.

“I just need to go home, sort my mental health out,” he said. “It’s affecting my cook, my sleep, just everything. I don’t want to [leave] but I think it’s the only thing [I can do] I think I’ve come to the point where that’s all that’s going to help me.”

However, Brent ended up coming back for MasterChef Australia Season 15 and walked away with the title and $250,000. We love a redemption story!

Ben Ungermann — Season 12

All of the previously eliminated MasterChef Australia: Back To Win 2020 contestants returned for the grand finale — except for Ben Ungermann and Brendan Pang. While Brendan was simply stopped by Western Australia’s Covid lockdown policies, Ben’s disappearance was due to a more sinister reason.

In February 2020, the MasterChef Australia contestant was accused of sexual assault and charged with two counts over an alleged encounter. He later admitted to common law assault against a 16-year-old girl in Melbourne Magistrates’ Court, and he was given diversion. There was no recording of conviction or finding of guilt.

Production company Endemol Shine released a short statement at the time, saying: “We can confirm Ben Ungermann has left the MasterChef Australia competition. As this is a police matter, we will not be making further comment.”

We’ll have to wait and see if any contestants disappear from MasterChef Australia: Back To Win while it’s on. Hopefully it won’t be one of our favourites!

MasterChef Australia airs on Sunday at 7pm and Monday – Wednesday at 7:30pm on Channel 10 and 10Play.

Nicole O’Neil reveals why she wasn’t at The Real Housewives of Sydney Reunion

6 May 20257 May 2025 by Danica Baker

Nicole O’Neil was the only cast member who didn’t physically attend the Real Housewives of Sydney (RHOS) Season 3 Reunion, and now she’s revealed why.

As expected from the Housewives franchise, RHOS Season 3 saw a flurry of almost nonstop drama. There was a very heated fashion week event, ongoing feuds between the housewives, and, of course, the fallout between Nicole and Terry Biviano that began in Season 2 and spilt into Season 3.

However, Nicole has revealed that her rift with Terry wasn’t the reason she didn’t attend the Reunion in person; instead, she chalked it down to scheduling conflicts.

“I didn’t skip it. I didn’t storm off. I didn’t have cold feet,” she wrote on her website.

Why wasn’t Nicole at The RHOS Reunion?

Nicole explained that she was initially given a date for the Reunion, which she put in her schedule, but the date was changed at the last minute.

“When I signed my contract for the season, the reunion date was locked in. I planned everything around it – work, personal commitments, and yes, even travel. But at the eleventh hour, the date was changed,” she said.

“Unfortunately, by then I was already booked, packed, and set to be in London. This wasn’t a spontaneous trip – these dates had been in my schedule for over a year, and production was aware of them.”

“In fact, I had returned to Sydney specifically for three full weeks at production’s request to complete filming. But not only did the reunion not happen during that window, we didn’t shoot anything at all. I came back, made myself available, and waited. Nothing happened.”

“By the time production was finally able to confirm the new reunion date, I was in New York and already en route to London.”

“Still, I’m a professional. I respect the fans, the format, and the women I shared this wild ride with. So I found a way to show up.”

Nicole explained that she dialled in via video chat from her hotel in London, and filmed all night. She said that make-up started at 11pm and she finished filming at 6am local time.

“What you saw — or didn’t see — in the final cut wasn’t up to me. I can’t control how much of me made it to air,” she wrote.

Nicole said she was even willing to fly back to Australia for the event.

“I even offered to fly back to Sydney again to shoot the reunion in person, if production would provide a return flight. That offer was never taken up.”

The Real Housewives of Sydney Season 3 Reunion airs on May 6 on Binge.

The wild amount MAFS stars get paid for club appearances

5 May 20255 May 2025 by Tahlia Pritchard

Just because all good reality seasons have to come to an end eventually, it doesn’t mean the good times have to stop rolling. By now, it’s common knowledge that when shows like Married At First Sight (MAFS) finish up on our screens, we don’t have to hunt too far to find our favourite MAFS stars… they may just be at a nearby nightclub.

Former nightclub owner Danny Grant recently uploaded a TikTok saying the club fee for MAFS talent was around the $3,000 mark. He told Chattr that the “lion’s share” of the fee normally goes to the “hook talent”. So basically, not everyone is paid equally!

“The lion’s share is given to the hook talent, who is normally one of the breakout stars of the show, [or the] most controversial or most popular, and then supported by smaller ones,” he said. “Traditionally, as a promoter, you are buying the top talent and you are forced to take the smaller ones in a group deal. They get a smaller fee, or they just come along for the ride.”

@dannysrants Have you ever wondered? #nightlife #nightclubs #clubbing #promoter #nightclub #mafs #marriedatfirstsight #security #clubs #tv #realitytv ♬ original sound – DannyRants

Danny also said the fee division was usually decided “by the agent representing them.”

A former MAFS contestant also confirmed to Chattr that the cost was usually around the $3,000 mark. “$3,000 for an appearance of 90-120 minutes,” they said. “Some of the better clubs pay less, like $1500-$2,000. But mostly it’s a set $3,000 for 90 minutes.”

The highest of highs and lowest of lows: from thousands of dollars to a bottle of vodka

Danny told Chattr that the most he’s heard MAFS stars be paid for a club appearance was around the “$6,000-8,000” mark in places like Darwin. “The lowest was a bottle of vodka and some free entries,” he said.

He said after two to three months “the well dries up” and the budget to book the stars diminishes as their “15 minutes” wears off.

“Normally they will continue to get free entry or a bottle of vodka, if they have amassed good followers from the show,” he said. “Otherwise it’s to the back of the line, once the 15-minute wears off. The good talent keep momentum and maybe step into different spaces, but the club appearance stuff is no longer relevant once the buzz of the show wears off.”

Cath Collins on being the first eliminated from MasterChef Back To Win 2025: ‘Devastated’

5 May 20255 May 2025 by Danica Baker

The lovable Cath Collins was the first contestant sent home from MasterChef Australia Back to Win 2025, during the first elimination challenge.

The contestants were challenged to cook a dish reflecting their growth since their first MasterChef appearance. Cath chose a Japanese-inspired plate with grilled mushrooms, furikake, pickled wakame, smoked soy cream, and shiso gel. But grilling on a hibachi led to burnt mushrooms, and the judges deemed her dish the weakest, sending her home.

In a post-elimination interview, Cath told Chattr she was “devastated” to be the first contestant eliminated.

“[Going home] never, ever entered my mind going into the show. I was so organised. I was so ready for it.

“I had taken just about all of my kitchen into where we were staying. I had camp tables set up with all of my equipment,” she added, “I was ready for the long haul.”

“I think it’s still sitting with me that I was the first one out, that’s really hard for me. The expectation I had of myself going in — whilst I say I didn’t have any expectation — there was the expectation that I was never, ever going to go out first.”

How Cath felt when she found out she was eliminated from MasterChef 2025

Cath told Chattr that even when it was announced that she was in the bottom three, along with Tim and Samira, she didn’t think she was going home.

“I really had to gather myself. I was just devastated. That’s probably the first feeling I had, and then looking around, I could just feel it in the room. We were all, we’re all disappointed.”

However, Cath added that she tried to see the positive in the situation and focused on the privilege of being asked to be part of the MasterChef Australia Back to Win 2025 cast.

“Someone has to go first, you know, and that’s me. Reflecting afterwards, I’m just so proud and just really grateful.

“I did have a little bit of a laugh about myself thinking, ‘Well, you know what, someone has to go out first’. I remember saying to Rue, ‘I’m a sacrificial lamb’. But I tell you what, I’m a beautiful, slow-cooked lamb, that is so delicious,” she laughed.

“It just is what it is. But I’m grateful and feeling really proud.”

Post MasterChef Australia Back to Win 2025, the mum of two is focusing on her kitchen event company, Cath’s Kitchen.

“I do intimate cooking classes in my home. I’ve got a beautiful kitchen, so it’s really lovely, welcoming people here,” she explained.

Love Triangle’s Chloe opens up about her chaotic ‘Love Square’ and Bernie’s shock letter

5 May 20255 May 2025 by Tahlia Pritchard

Love Triangle Season 3 has provided all sorts of drama, from a former MAFS groom’s redemption arc not quite going to plan, to a love triangle that saw all three people trying to date each other.

One woman looking for love is Chloe Hannigan, who was putting herself out there again after her ex-fiancée abruptly broke up with her months before their wedding, leaving her heartbroken.

But what Chloe wasn’t expecting was to be thrown into a chaotic triangle that saw all participants trying to date each other, before having another co-star express his interest in her.

But first, let’s get to know the girl behind Love Triangle’s most chaotic… love square.

Who is Love Triangle’s Chloe?

Chloe is a 27-year-old nurse manager from Sydney with multiple degrees under her belt and an impressive healthcare resume. Chloe describes herself as ambitious and is looking for a partner who can match her energy and appreciate her drive.

Chloe appears to have a love of travelling and music, with her Instagram documenting her globetrotting over the years, as well as some cover songs.

Chloe is bisexual and asked her Love Triangle matches not to identify their gender when she was texting them so she could be surprised when meeting them IRL. “I am smack bang 50-50,” she said in her confessional. “I could go either way.”

A post shared by Chloe (@chlogirly)

Chloe’s ‘unexpected’ Love Triangle dilemma: What happens when the whole triangle wants to date?

Chatting with ‘E’ and ‘B’, Chloe ended up choosing ‘B’ initially, otherwise known as Beck, with the two cementing a solid friendship in the hopes it’d turn romantic. Beck initially said Chloe wasn’t her usual type and that she usually dates women who are more masculine, which left Chloe initially hurt. Over the first two weeks together however, they grew closer and worked on their ‘slow burn’ connection but then ‘E’ aka Emma entered the picture and things got, well, messy.

With both Chloe and Beck interested in Emma, and Emma interested in them both, Love Triangle had its first situation where all sides of the triangle were actively trying to date each other.

Speaking with Chattr, Chloe said that she felt blindsided by the whole situation.

“[It was] completely unexpected. It was not even something I had considered going into the show, so when it happened, I was very blindsided, and initially, I just didn’t know how to process it,” she shared. “I was like, this is weird, because I felt almost like a hypocrite by being like, ‘I can get to know you both’, but then I felt a certain way about them getting to know each other. And then I was like, ‘Hang on. That’s not really very fair.’

“Three women living under one roof with feelings, emotions, and big hearts, it was extremely challenging to navigate in a way that kept everyone happy,” Chloe continued. “And we weren’t all happy, we were struggling, but overall we navigated it as well as we could have.”

Chloe on finding out her co-star Bernie secretly fancied her

Another surprising shock of the season was when Chloe’s co-star Bernie admitted to cameras he wasn’t interested in anyone in his Triangle… in fact, he only had eyes for Chloe.

As things continued to go pear-shaped with Emma and Beck, Bernie managed to slip Chloe a secret letter confessing his feelings before the two shared a secret kiss in the most recent episode of the show.

“When I first got that letter, that was the first time I knew he had any feelings towards me. So it left me very confused, and I think that’s why I wanted to have a chat with him at that final party… to look him in the eyes and ask him what his intentions are, and to ascertain if he actually meant what he wrote on that letter,” Chloe told Chattr. “I think that Bernie coming in was just another facet to this ‘Love Square’ I had to consider in a very short period of time.”

So will Chloe choose Emma, Beck or Bernie? We’ll have to wait til next week to find out!

What is Chloe most known for on TikTok?

Chloe has a decent following on TikTok, with over 62,000 followers. One of her biggest videos has a whopping 7.5 million views.

@chlogirly Brb, going to greece #fyp #wlw #lgbt #lesbian #draft #lesbiansoftiktok #pride #pridemonth #greece #funny #funnyvideos ♬ original sound – Chlo 🍒

Chloe’s TikTok is usually a mix of travel adventures, aspirational quotes, and some funny dating content.

What is Love Triangle about?

Created by the same team behind the smash hit, MAFS, Love Triangle follows five singles who are set up with two online dating matches. Similar to Love Is Blind, the show is meant to foster a connection first before the singles set eyes on each other.

After a period of online talking, they choose one match to move in with to see if they can make the romantic connection work IRL. However, the relationship will be challenged when the other match is brought into the living situation, with the main single then having to decide which suitor they want to pursue.

Is there a Love Triangle reunion teaser?

You know it! For the first time ever, Love Triangle will also release a reunion episode for Season 3 hosted by Chrishell Stause.

Take a peek at the season trailer and reunion promo below.

Kate shares her wild Australian Survivor 2025 audition tape: ‘Maybe don’t follow this as advice’

2 May 20252 May 2025 by Danica Baker

Kate Gloufchis was the last standing Brawn member on Australian Survivor 2025, but she almost didn’t make it on the show after missing the application deadline. The DJ took her to Instagram to share her wild audition video and revealed that she had sent it through after applications had closed.

“The only reason I made my audition tape like that was to be as fast as possible,” Kate told Chattr.

The Australian Survivor casting page stipulates that hopefuls should send through a video with the application form and photos. “This is to be a maximum of 3 minutes and should sum up why we should pick you for Survivor and why you believe you have what it takes to be the sole Survivor,” the page reads.

Instead, Kate sent through a 50-second video showing her partying and DJing.

View this post on Instagram

A post shared by Kate Gloufchis (@katekaos_)

Kate told Chattr that despite not following the guidelines on the application site, she wasn’t asked to make another video, and said she was shocked to get a call back.

“I was totally surprised! I didn’t know what to expect, and the fact that I got a call the next day, I was so excited,” she said.

Kate added that she applied after getting a hunch that she might get on the show and that she thinks the casting team respected her creative application.

“I had no clue if I had a chance as I didn’t know what the casting agents would be looking for, but I believed in my self and the fact that I got this weird feeling and urge to apply the day after the application closing tells me it was meant to be,” she explained.

“If I had to guess what they liked, it was that I have this wild lifestyle but also am not afraid to be myself while living it.”

Why did Kate apply for Australian Survivor?

While Kate’s application video is packed full of fun moments, she told Chattr that her purpose for applying for Australian Survivor was a lot deeper.

Kate battles with OCD, and she said that she wanted to go on the popular reality show to help tackle the stigma surrounding the condition.

“I didn’t go in Survivor thinking I was going to win $500,000. I went on Survivor being like, I want to try and get as far as I can for my own self. Because I’m just like, that’s such a huge challenge, and also to show people as well that you can do whatever it is you want,” she explained to Chattr.

“I’d been hearing stories — because I have OCD — of people telling me about their teenagers being the same, and that just hurt my heart. So I was like, You know what? I’ve just become such a better person that I’m confident with [my OCD], I can still do things in life, and that’s exactly why I wanted to do the show.”

And, what a great casting choice she was!

MAFS’ Tahnee slams Harrison over ‘out of touch’ comments

2 May 20252 May 2025 by Rachel Choy

CONTENT WARNING: This article contains information about sexual assault and may be triggering to some readers.

Tahnee Cook from Married At First Sight (MAFS) has ruffled some sensitive feathers with comments she made to Chattr yesterday. The Season 10 bride addressed rumours of a MAFS All-Stars show, saying she wouldn’t be keen to join the cast “based on what the men are like”.

Considering Paul Antoine literally punched a wall on MAFS 2025 out of jealousy, she has a point.

However, walking red flag, Harrison Boon, has weighed in on Tahnee’s comments and made some snarky comments. After former groom Steve Burley accused the podcast host of “men-bashing”, Harrison took aim at Tahnee’s age and relationship status.

“Don’t worry mate these ladies are all over 30 and still single since the show. If the men were so bad what does that say about them?” Harrison said. “Lyndall [Grace], Bronte [Schofield], Melinda [Willis], Janelle [Han]. The longer you’re single the funnier [this] gets.”

Tahnee clapped back on her Instagram story, and she tells Chattr she’s not tolerating this type of rhetoric from men like Harrison and Steve.

“It’s so bizarre that I’ve caused this reaction from Steve and Harrison. My comments around not being interested in participating in MAFS again based on what the men are like is more than valid and their reaction to this further proves my point. If they are so offended by my comment, they really need to take a hard look at themselves as to why, because they are part of a wider problem,” she says.

“We’ve seen men on the show with domestic violence allegations and others displaying coercive controlling behaviour — it doesn’t seem that unreasonable for me to feel the way I do. To say I was ‘men bashing’ is laughable and honestly just so out of touch given the current gender-based (domestic) violence we are seeing in Australia at the moment.”

According to the Australian Femicide Watch, 24 Australian women have been killed in 2025 — and we’re only in May.

MAFS’ Tahnee calls out Harrison’s comments about her age

Tahnee also recently celebrated her 30th birthday, and she’s proud of her age, not ashamed of it.

MAFS Tahnee Cook 30th Birthday — Image: Instagram

“‘30 and single’ keeps getting thrown at us as if it’s an insult or something we should be deeply ashamed of — and it genuinely isn’t,” she declares.

“Now more than ever, women are able to live successful, fulfilled lives on their own, without needing a man to provide for them — and these men hate us for that. I’m sure I can speak for some of the women in the same position as me, but I’m honestly so content with how I’m currently living my life — happy, unbothered and thriving — than be in a relationship wtih such a miserable, angry, horrible person like [some men].”

Amen! Let’s throw these boring, misogynistic takes in the bin and move on.

PR crisis expert’s warning for RecipeTin Eats’ Nagi and Brooke Bellamy

1 May 20251 May 2025 by Rachel Choy

A PR crisis management expert has warned there are “rarely” winners in a battle like the one we’re seeing unfold between food influencers Nagi Maehashi (RecipeTin Eats) and Brooke Bellamy (Brooki Bakehouse).

ICYMI, Nagi accused Brooke of plagiarising two of her recipes in her cookbook Bake With Brooki, published by Penguin Australia. Brooke has denied all the allegations, saying she doesn’t “copy other people’s recipes”. In response, Nagi said she didn’t make her “statement lightly and without doing serious groundwork”, adding she had “nothing to gain out of speaking up”.

Patrice Pandeleos, Founder and Managing Director of Seven Communications — who has worked across some of Australia’s highest-profile crises — tells Chattr this particular situation “illustrates how quickly reputations can be tested in the digital age, especially when claims of creative theft arise”.

“Public sentiment often forms rapidly and emotionally, particularly when a well-loved figure, Nagi Maehashi, is involved. In any controversy, transparency, humility, and timely communication are critical and must be handled quickly. In this case, these elements appeared to be lacking in the initial stages of this saga,” she says.

In particular, Brooke’s team should have been better prepared to handle the situation. Nagi noted that she has been in discussions with Brooke and Penguin Australia for the last six months, so those involved had plenty of warning.

“The response [from Brooke] felt reactive and defensive, rather than strategic,” Patrice explains. “Our advice in a case like this would be to assess the facts and communicate with empathy. Acknowledging the concern, without necessarily admitting wrongdoing, and offering to look at it can go a long way in preserving trust. A tone of humility would have been more effective than a defensive stance.”

Who will win: RecipeTin Eats or Brooki Bakehouse?

Patrice notes that there are “rarely” any winners when it comes to a high-profile stoush.

“While public drama can drive engagement, both parties typically suffer reputational wear. However, the way each responds can define their long-term brand perception. If one side demonstrates grace, accountability, and professionalism, they may come out with greater public trust — but it requires discipline and the right strategy,” she says.

The crisis PR expert predicts Brooke will face “significant damage” to her brand, due to brand equity the food and lifestyle space being built on “authenticity and originality”.

“If customers start to doubt that, recovery becomes an uphill battle. That said, with the right approach, brands can recover. But it requires more than just one Instagram post; it needs a thoughtful long-term strategy,” Patrice warns.

According to the ABC, Brooke has already been dropped from one of her ambassadorships with the federally funded Academy for Enterprising Girls. The program provides girls with online classes and workshops to help them gain entrepreneurial skills.

The publication reports it was a “small value” deal worth $10,000 — and Brooke had received just half of that amount.

“While we make no legal assessment on the allegations aired in the media, we have informed Ms Bellamy that we will not move forward with the engagement at this time,” the academy said in a statement.

If there’s anything that influencers can learn from this saga, it’s to be prepared for the worst. Patrice notes it’s “vital for brands to have a crisis plan in place” — no matter how small you are.

From Jamie and Eliot’s romance to Teejay’s love triangle, insider spills on MAFS cast’s wild night out

1 May 20251 May 2025 by Danica Baker

Seven of the MAFS 2025 cast embarked on a wild night out on the Gold Coast over the Anzac Day weekend, and an insider has spilled on their rowdy antics to Chattr.

Jamie Marinos, Eliot Donovan, Carina Mirabile, Teejay Halkias, Beth Kelly, Rhi Disljenkovic and Jeff Gobbels were all part of a promo gig at Bedroom Nightclub on Friday, April 25th, and the celebrations carried on the following night at TAMA Supper Club.

“It’s such a great vibe, I love it. So keen to come back soon, it’s like being in Dubai vibes,” Carina told the insider on the second night.

The source revealed that Jamie and Eliot were all over each other and that Teejay managed to find himself in a love triangle.

Insider cast doubts on whether Jamie and Eliot’s relationship is real

Ever since MAFS 2025 finished airing, Jamie and Eliot have been on a TikTok tour teasing a relationship between the two of them.

Eliot first sparked chatter about a possible dalliance when he posted a TikTok of himself in the shower, with Jamie in the bathroom.

He later shared a follow-up bathroom video with Jamie, along with a tongue-in-cheek clip featuring the MAFS bride, playfully addressing the swirling rumours about their relationship.

However, the insider told Chattr that while Jamie and Eliot were getting cosy at the Brisbane clubs, it wasn’t blatantly obvious that there was a romantic spark.

“Jamie and Elliot’s relationship is blossoming – looks like it’s founded on friendship – they were very playful in the booth at both the Bedroom Nightclub Surfers Paradise on Friday and TAMA Supper Club Fortitude Valley Brisbane on Saturday evening,” they said.

The source added that the account manager mentioned that she’s hoping to appear on TV again.

“Jamie said she feels like she’s on the right path and is ready for her next reality TV show.”

Teejay found himself in a love triangle

While Teejay signed up for the promo events knowing that his MAFS ex-wife Beth would be there, he didn’t know his ex-girlfriend Caitlynn Henry, who he dated in 2021, would be in attendance too.

“Teejay Halkias said having his ex-wife, Beth Kelly, and ex-girlfriend, Caitlynn Henry, in the same room was a shock to the system,” the insider said.

The source added that Teejay and Beth were seated as far away as possible from each other at the Supper Club and didn’t interact much.

Sounds like things are still frosty between the pair!
