It’s a rumour that’s been buzzing around for years and now the Producers of Married at First Sight have revealed whether an All-Star or Celebrity season is on the cards.
While we’d love to see some of our faves from seasons past meet each other at the altar, Director of Content at Endemol Shine Tara McWilliams said: “Never say never!”
Speaking to the Daily Mail, Tara admitted that the idea had “never been on their radar” while Nine Executive Producer John Walsh said no one would “believe” it.
“I don’t think anyone would believe it, you know, I think it’s the reason we wouldn’t have it,” he said.

For Head of Content, Production and Development at Nine Adrian Swift, who spoke at a recent Screen Forever conference, his team has “talked about” a potential spin-off.
“I guess one of the things you’ve got to be really careful of in commercial television is if you have a goose that lays the golden egg, can I have two geese that lay the golden eggs?,” he said.
“You probably will end up with a goose cut in half and a dead goose that doesn’t lay anything.”

For now, we’ll just have to keep tuning in to the bats**t formula that these incredibly clever people have created and sob into our wine as we devour each and every second.

Ridge Barredo and Jade Pywell’s pairing on MAFS was initially questionable at the ceremony. This was largely because Jade made it clear that she wanted someone mature, while Ridge and his friends overused the phrase ‘DEEECE’.
However, viewers’ scepticism quickly fell to the wayside as Jade and Ridge bonded at the wedding reception and seemed smitten with one another.
But, while they had a promising start, are they still together now?

Ridge and Jade’s pairing
Ridge is a busy man! He’s competed twice in the Commonwealth Games in weightlifting, juggles an intense fitness regime and works as a Psychiatric Nurse.
Before MAFS, he’s never been into settling down but feels that he’s ready to find the right woman now.
According to his 9Now bio, he is drawn to women with “tidy rigs” who do not take themselves too seriously.
Meanwhile, Jade has had a serious relationship with a man she shares a baby with. However, shortly after her daughter’s birth, she found out that her baby daddy was cheating on her with her best friend.
According to her 9Now bio, Jade’s “walls are up” because of the betrayal, but “underneath her tough exterior is someone who falls hard and fast when in love and is a true romantic.”
MAFS. Nine.
Are Ridge and Jade still together?
It looks like the MAFS experts have clocked another successful love story with their pairing of Ridge and Jade!
The cute couple have confessed their love at Final Vows, and they’re still going strong months after filming wrapped.
Ridge took to Instagram with an update on their relationship post-show.
“Made it out of the experiment with the old girl. Excited to do life with you on the outside,” he wrote alongside a cute selfie of himself and Jade.
In March 2024, a source revealed to us that Ridge was releasing a clothing brand. They dished that Jade was very supportive of the move and shared a photo of her wearing his merch.
Prior to Final Vows, there were been multiple clues that the couple were still going strong.
Ridge appeared on Hit’s Bronte & Lakey for Breakfast in March 2024, and the hosts told him that they’d seen Jade out with another man in Queensland.
“I am 99.9% sure I saw Jade, two Wednesday nights ago at a high-class establishment, with an older-looking gentleman,” Lakey said.
Ridge replied: “Where was it? First I’ve heard of it, but I’m pretty confident with what Jade and I have.”
And… there you have it folks!

One of the other telling signs that Ridge and Jade are together was a leaked photo posted by Jade herself in April 2024.
Turns out, Jade had a temporary Instagram account where she shares photos while she’s unable to use her own account because of the show’s social media rules. See for yourself!
Furthermore, Jade posted an absolutely MASSIVE spoiler on the account. In her stories, she shared a close-up photo of a man lying on the bed with a tattoo that reads “Jade”.
Upon close inspection, the other tattoos on the man’s back match Ridge’s! Which means that the couple are almost definitely still together.
Dylan Pierre De Villiers is a busy man – not only has he officially joined the Below Deck crew, but he’s also made a debut on Vanderpump Rules.
Yup, some eagle-eyed fans have spotted Dylan hanging out with VPR star Katie Maloney at SUR on season 11 of the popular reality TV show. His inclusion aired just one day after his first Below Deck episode.
Dylan didn’t actually speak in the episode, nor was he introduced, however, his inclusion in the series hasn’t gone down too well with some Below Deck fans, with some accusing the deckie of being an “actor”.

“I feel like the show and some of Bravo is turning faker and faker,” one person commented on Facebook.
“Bravo keeps it in the family. A few shows stats have crossed over to other shows,” another wrote. A third added: “Clearly he wants to pursue being on TV or he wouldn’t have joined BD”.
However, some fans on Facebook pointed out that Dylan probably met the Vanderpump cast at Bravocon, hence why he was at the bar with Katie.
“He had already filmed Below Deck before Bravocon. So I’m sure they all met there,” they wrote.
Another person added: “I think he’s gonna do amazing on Below Deck and probably hangs out with the other Bravo people like everyone else does. He may be there while he’s off from yachting or something. Either way, I’m excited to see how both shows go.”

Who is Dylan Pierre De Villiers?
Dylan joined the Below Deck crew in the episode that aired on March 25th as a replacement after Deckhand Ben Willoughby was promoted to Bosun.
Dylan’s from Cape Town, South Africa and he’s just a spring chicken at 23 years old, however, he already has four years of experience in the yachting industry.
Thirsty fans will be happy to know that the Deckie has his relationship status listed as single on Facebook.
It’s been a rough ride for exactly one-half of the I’m A Celebrity campmates, who have continuously lost tasks since they were split up into two teams. However, after tonight Team Julia and Team Robert will be no more, and the fam is coming back together.
After hosts Robert Irwin and Julia Morris announced that Candice Warner, Tristan MacManus, Skye Wheatley and Brittany Hockley would be competing in the Trial, Julia dropped the news.
“A little birdy told me that tomorrow will be Team Julia’s last chance [to win]. The split camp will be – Robert, what’s the opposite of split?” Julia asked.
After Robert unsurely told her it was “Unsplit”, Julia said: “They will be unsplit yes.”
Julia Morris Candice Warner, Stephen K Amos, Skye Wheatley, Frankie Muniz and Robert Irwin. Ten.
Team Robert has repeatedly won challenge after challenge, which has meant that they’ve been scoring deluxe ingredients for dinner each night, while Team Julia has been stuck on rice and beans.
Team Julia made their misery very clear, so much so that Team Robert offered to share their win of a cake with them, despite being told that there would be consequences. However, it was never revealed what those consequences were, after Michelle Bridges and Candice Warner were sticklers for the rules, and told Team Robert not to share their food with them.
Who’s in the teams?
During the April 1st episode of I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here Australia, the contestants were informed that they’d be split into two groups. Everyone over the age of 40 was on Team Julia and everyone under was on Team Robert.
The groups were split as below:
Team Robert
Skye Wheatley
Frankie Muniz
Brittany Hockley
Callum Hole
Khahn Oong
Ellie Cole
Team Julia
Candice Warner
Michelle Bridges
Tristan MacManus
Stephen K Amos
Peter Daicos

Fans’ reactions to the teams
Social media comments suggest that fans will be delighted to hear that the camp will no longer be divided after the next episode.
“So depressing to see they lose again not the show that I thought it was going to be,” one person wrote on Twitter after Team Julia lost Wednesday night’s challenge.
“Not sure what they were hoping to achieve with dividing camp into teams…..they must’ve been hoping for some friction & fighting, but I don’t find it entertaining,” another person Tweeted.

However, some people are living for the drama the divide creates.
“Ending the teams so soon is a shame. Brought some super entertaining tension to the group and I (and possibly only I) enjoyed it. Perhaps a different team setup later in the season?” One person wrote.

Below Deck’sChef Anthony Iracane has struggled to keep up with a high-pressure galley on St David; however, it turns out, there’s a very valid reason for his disorganisation.
Speaking to Chattr during the season 11 run, Chef Anthony admitted he knew his workstation was “a really big mess”.
“I have…ADD, when you can’t be focused,” he said while also adding he has “dyslexia” which was revealed during the April 2 episode.
“Honestly, when you cook with all the passion and love you have inside, you don’t really care about the organisation,” he said. “I just wanted to give really beautiful dishes to guests. That’s what I’m focused on.”
He continued: “In my brain, it’s like a giant party and sometimes that’s why when I’m cooking, I’m not really talking to anyone. I call that, I’m in my little bubble and so I cannot see what’s going on.
“I cannot be focused on cleaning [or] organising the table. I’m just trying to make one of the best dishes for the guests.”
Chef Anthony quickly became a fan-favourite due to his positive attitude and loving nature, made more poignant by the story about the death of his father.
“You know the Disney movie called The Princess and the Frog?,” he asked. “I’m the fu**ing princess. She had a dream with her dad and the dad passed away, and they wanted to open a restaurant. At the end of the movie, she opens a restaurant.
“It’s a long ride and everybody experiences life differently. Every pain is different, so I just try to be a really good person every day and bring happiness through the cuisine because this world is so fu**ed up right now.”
As for the drama on the super yacht, Chef Anthony likes to steer clear — especially not taking sides when it comes to Barbie Pascual and Fraser Olender.

“It’s one crew, one family,” he said, before admitting he doesn’t take sides.
“I said, ‘Guys, we’re on the same fucking boat. Let’s try to be together. Let’s try to be one family.”
Finally, the reality star revealed what we can expect from the rest of their charters.
“More love, more crying, and an amazing season,” he said.

Ellie was born on December 12th 1991, and at two years old she was diagnosed with cancer. She had a rare tumour called neurosarcoma that was wrapped around the nerves in her right leg.
She tried chemotherapy to tackle the cancer, but it was unsuccessful and she underwent surgery to amputate her right leg above the knee to stop the cancer from spreading in 1994.
The surgery was successful and her mum enrolled her in swimming as part of her rehabilitation program.

Ellie’s swimming career
Swimming was only originally meant to be Ellie’s rehabilitation, and her instructors expected her to take up to a year to be able to swim in a straight line, but it only took her two weeks.
Because of Ellie’s obvious skill in the sport, she continued swimming and competed in her first competition in 2003, at 12 years old.
Ellie first competed internationally at the 2006 IPC Swimming World Championships and won a silver medal.
In 2010 she won bronze medals in the 100 m Freestyle S9 and 100 m Butterfly S9 events at the 2010 Commonwealth Games in New Delhi.
She won various competitions after that and was accepted into the 2012 London Paralympics. There, she competed in eight events and won six medals – four of which were gold.
From there, Ellie competed at the 2016 Rio Paralympics, the 2020 Tokyo Paralympics, and the 2022 Commonwealth Games, in Birmingham, England. She announced her retirement after the English games.

Ellie’s personal life
Ellie and her partner, Silvia Scognamiglio met at the London 2012 Paralympic Games and have been together ever since. Silvia was an events planner for the games, and Ellie cleaned up at the event with multiple gold medals.
Ellie told her I’m A Celebritycampmates that she didn’t tell her mum about her same-sex relationship until years after she’d gotten together with Silvia.
“I knew that she didn’t approve of same-sex relationships, but it’s not nice hiding a part of yourself from your parents.”
“My mum didn’t find out until we actually bought a house together, like years later.”
Ellie explained that her grandmother was supportive, and her mother eventually came around and now shares a good relationship with the couple.
Ellie and Silvia welcomed a baby boy Felix Parker Cole in February 2024.
Vanderpump Rules alum Brittany Cartwright and Jax Taylor are two of the Main Characters in the new Hayu series The Valley – and their recently announced separation has made headlines worldwide.
The Valley begins with Jax and Brittany living together in their house in San Fernando Valley, California, with their young son, Cruz Michael Cauchi. The married couple announced their separation in February 2024, just a month before the premiere of The Valley dropped, and well after filming wrapped.
Throughout the season, viewers will watch how the decision to split built up, but during an exclusive interview with Chattr, the 35-year-old explained that their separation was a long time coming.
“I definitely have regrets about things in my life. But I don’t think this show is actually what led me to want to separate from Jax. I think it was just [because of] our every single day and my life before the cameras started, after the cameras started and after the cameras went down. “
Brittany and Jax with their son. Instagram.
“We filmed The Valley a while ago,” she added. “Just because we filmed the show, it did not make me decide to do the things that I’m doing right now.
“Of course, there were a bunch of things [that led to the split] that were involved that I’ve been dealing with for many years in my marriage,” she added.
Brittany moved out of their marital house in January 2024 and has been staying in an Airbnb ever since.
However, despite the hardships Brittany and Jax are facing as a couple, she said that she still cares a lot about him.
“Yeah, me and Jax are going through a hard time right now but still I have so much love for him.”
Brittany and Jax with their son. Instagram.
Brittany didn’t know who Jax was when she met him
Jax was one of the OG cast members of Vanderpump Rules when it premiered way back in 2013. He met Brittany in 2015, and she joined the show until they both exited in 2020, after season eight.
Although Jax has gained quite the name for himself by the time he met Brittany, she revealed that she had no clue who he was.
“I actually didn’t watch the Vanderpump Rules before I started dating Jax,” Brittany admitted. “My mum did and my friend Cara.”
Brittany explained that she met Jax when she was in Las Vegas for her close friend Cara’s birthday.
Brittany and Jax on Vanderpump Rules. Hayu.
“Sheena [Shay’s] birthday was right after, so we happened to be in Vegas at the same time. Jax approached me at the bar,” she explained.
The majority of the Vanderpump Rules cast was at Sheena’s birthday, and that was the first time Brittany met them.
“I had no idea who these people were. They were so nice to me, but I had never seen anything,”
“Of course after that night when I first met him, Cara was like. “He’s this, this, this”. And, my mum was like, ‘I know exactly who that is’.”
“I made it a point pretty much to not watch episodes before I came onto the show.”
It’s been months since filming on Married at First Sight wrapped, and Jack Dunkley has revealed whether he’s said ‘I love you’ to Tori Adams yet.
Tori and Jack faced issue after issue during their time on MAFS but ultimately decided to leave the show in a committed relationship.
“I’d rather jump off the edge and fight for an amazing love-filled future with you than to have never pursued your love at all,” Jack told Tori at Final Vows Part Two.
“Tori, I am absolutely head over heels for you, and I can’t wait to fall in love,” he added.

Considering that the Final Vows are usually filmed around November/December, Tori and Jack have now been together for 5-6 months, so are they in love?
Jack reveals whether he’s in love with Tori
The Final Vows episodes aired over the Easter 2024 weekend, so the couple are finally officially able to speak about whether they’re still together.
Tori and Jack did a joint interview with Pedestrian.TV, and Jack was hit with the million-dollar question of whether he’s fallen in love with Tori.
Much like his responses on MAFS, Jack danced around the question before admitting that he’s not, in fact, in love with Tori… yet. Ouch.
Tori and Jack on MAFS. Nine.
“Part of my backstory was the fact that I never told a woman in my life that I’ve loved her apart from my dad and my mother,” he said.
“Tori has moved in with me. We’ve lived together for maybe three to four weeks now and we’re very happy. I’m very much falling in love with her and we’re creating a very nice lifestyle together.
“Our lives are very in sync and we’re living very humbly, happily and I can definitely see love on the cards in the future.”

However, while Melinda and Layton stayed together for a year, they split in October 2023. Tahnee and Ollie broke up in December 2023, after 16 months together. Meaning that no couples from MAFS 2023 are still together. Boo!

Frankie Muniz has had a stunning realisation about his family while in the I’m a Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here 2024 jungle.
During the April 2 episode the Malcolm in the Middle star sat down with former Studio 10 co-host Tristan MacManus for the first session of jungle Table Talks, where the child actor admitted that he felt as though his career had torn his family apart.
“Malcolm took us out to LA,” he said. “Me and my mum went, but my sister stayed with my dad in Northern Carolina.
“But my mum and dad ended up getting a divorce during that time. So in that sense, it’s kind of sad to think about that it really did separate the family.”
Frankie Muniz, I’m a Celebrity. Ten
Visibly shaken, he continued: “Like it just hit me right now. It essentially was my career that separated our whole family. I don’t know how much positive it brought to the family. I wasn’t a part of the family since I was 11 because that’s when I left.”
Later, the star acknowledged the “million sacrifices” his family made to support his career.
“I’m excited to give them the recognition they deserve, and that maybe I was too selfish to give. I can’t get out of here to tell them I appreciate them. I’m not sure I’ve ever said those words to them.”
At age 11, Frankie Muniz almost sabotaged his own career
During the, ahem, frank chat, the Agent Cody Banks star also revealed that he almost sabotaged hiscareer by wanting to book a Pizza Hut commercial instead of the show which made him famous.
Revealing that both the pizza commercial and the Malcolm audition were on at the same time, he was desperate to get the holy grail of TV ads.
“I booked a Pizza Put commercial, so in my head, that was the biggest thing in my whole life,” he said, before saying that he had told his mum they “we’re not going to this [Malcolm] audition”.
“We cannot be late to my Pizza Hut break!”
Tristan Macmanus and Frankie Muniz, I’m a Celebrity. Ten
Frankie’s mum then suggested they go to the first audition, showing up even before the casting director, where the child got agitated waiting around, so they decided to leave.
“Right as we were going to the elevator, the casting director comes in and she says, ‘Oh you’re early’ and I go, ‘Well, I’m supposed to go film this Pizza Hut commercial’ and she goes, ‘Come in real fast and read’.
“I literally went in, mad. Mad,” he said before adding: “I read it as quick as I could without any care in the world and she said, ‘OK thank you’. I left and I went [thumbs down action]. Like, thumbs down to my mum.”
In an incredible turn of events, Frankie’s “angry” and “fast” demeanour was the “perfect” fit for the role of Malcolm.
“If it was up to me, we wouldn’t have gone.”

The Tucker Trials are undoubtedly one of the most memorable parts of I’m A Celebrity Australia, but this year will see a new twist in the task.
When a contestant successfully completes a Tucker Trial they gain stars, and in previous years, contestants have feasted on things like crocodile tongues and a blended camel liver.
However, this year the show has decided to completely rule out the consumption of wildlife. Ahead of the show’s first Tucker Trial on April 2, Robert Irwin and Julia Morris explained to Chattr how the new format works.
Denise Drysdale during the Tucker Trial on I’m a Celebrity. Ten.
“It was something that was very important to me in stepping into this new role. I really want to celebrate what means so much to me, which is our beautiful native wildlife,” Robert said.
“Wherever I am in the world, whether it’s here at home, I don’t need a crocodile. I don’t even eat a kangaroo. If I’m in Africa, I don’t eat the gazelle. I don’t eat the giraffe. I photograph it, I watch it, I enjoy it. And I share the beauty of this living animal with the world.”
What will the I’m A Celebrity contestants be eating during the Tucker Trials?
Fortunately for viewers who love to see the celebs squirm during the eating challenges, the campmates will still be presented with some pretty vile dishes.
“Coming on to this, we wanted to make sure we keep the shock factor, the absolute insanity of eating a fish eyeball and a cockroach and some horrific things that I don’t even want to say,” Robert said.
Julia added that fans can expect to see testicles on the menu this year.
“It doesn’t need to be wildlife. A bag is a bag. Doesn’t need to be a giraffe’s bag, it can be a cow’s bag. And obviously, for the children playing at home, it’s just something to keep all your belongings,” she joked.
Tucker Trials on I’m A Celebrity Australia 2022. Ten.
She clarified that removing wildlife from the menu was something the show had considered doing before, but decided to implement it once Robert was involved in the show.
“It made us kind of hit that reset and go, ‘Hey, you know what it doesn’t need to be wildlife than it is this animal is not really propelling the show into greatness. So if it doesn’t matter, so why not have sustainable animals?”

Well, would you look at that! Prime Video’s Road House has become an… ahem… knockout success.
The film, which debuted on the streaming platform on March 21, has now attracted a record-breaking 50 million worldwide viewers over its first two weekends, becoming Amazon MGM Studios’ most-watched produced film debut ever! INCREDIBLE!
Written by AnthonyBagarozzi and Charles Mondry, the film stars Jake Gyllenhaal as Dalton, an ex-UFC fighter trying to escape his dark past and his penchant for violence.
Dalton is barely scraping by on the reputation that still precedes him when he is spotted by Frankie (Jessica Williams), owner of a roadhouse in the Florida Keys. She hires him to be her new bouncer in hopes of stopping a violent gang, working for crime boss Brandt (Billy Magnussen), from destroying her beloved bar.

Even five to one, Brandt’s crew is no match for Dalton’s skills, but the stakes get higher with the arrival of ruthless gun-for-hire, Knox (Conor McGregor – yes, THE Conor McGregor).
As the brutal brawls and bloodshed escalate, the tropical Keys prove more dangerous than anything Dalton ever faced in the Octagon.
Starring alongside the aforementioned cast are Daniela Melchior, Joaquim De Almeida and Lukas Gage, who has seen huge success (and a failed marriage to Kim Kardashian’s hairstylist Chris Appleton) since his first acting credit on The White Lotus.
The movie is based on the 1989 1989 MGM flick Road House starring Patrick Swayze and Sam Elliot and is also available now for fans of the cult favourite to watch on Prime Video.
Timothy Smith may not seem like the cookie-cutter reality TV type of person, but Married At First Sight actually isn’t the first show he’s been on.
The Australian MAFS Groom appeared on Canadian TV series The Liquidator back in 2016, and boy, is it a blast from the past.
The show follows Jeff Schwarz, who buys and sells used and unwanted goods to customers. Timothy and a woman called Collette come to Jeff’s shop and want to purchase a polar bear statue.

“We’ve just opened up a restaurant,” Collette says before Timothy adds that they “came to buy a bear”.
Jeff reveals to the camera that he originally paid $350 for the bear, and offers Timothy it for $1,150. After some haggling they eventually agree on a price of $700 plus two free meals at the pair’s new restaurant.
“I personally think, when he’s got bigger ears, he’ll look like a koala,” Timothy tells the woman.

The Married at First Sight Reunion is one of the most hotly anticipated – and juiciest – episodes on Australian TV. And, fortunately for us, we’ve got some spoilers about what will go down during the explosive instalment.
**WARNING: This article contains potential spoilers for MAFS 2024.**
From surprise splits to MAFS recouplings, here’s what you can expect to see go down in the 2024 Reunion.
Sara and Tim (somehow) made it as a couple, but will they survive the reunion?
In a mind-boggling revelation to most viewers, Tim Calwell and Sara Mesa committed to each other at Final Vows and will attend the reunion together.
However, all hell appears to break loose between the two after JonathanMcCullough drops a bombshell about Tim. The preview shows the (former) happy couple standing outside engaged in a screaming match.

Tim and Sara got off to a rough start, but things went crashing down even further when it was revealed that Sara secretly met up with her ex-boyfriend and lied to Tim about it.
However, while Tim and Sara looked loved up at Final Vows, they don’t appear to last. Daily Mail Australia and The Wash shared pics of Tim flaunting his relationship with a new woman.
Throughout the season Cassandra Allen had her moments where she wasn’t afraid to call out other people’s poor behaviour. It appears that hasn’t changed because the preview shows her coming for one of the brides.
“You’re the weakest woman I’ve ever met in my life,” Cassandra says to an unknown bride.

Madeleine won’t be at the reunion
MadeleineJevic and Ash Galati’s time on MAFS was very short-lived, and Ash has revealed that the bride won’t even be returning for the reunion.
“I was expecting her to come back. I followed things through till the end. I had an obligation to come back to myself, to the show, to the other couples. So I did the right thing and I showed up. But she didn’t.”
Ash told the publication that he hadn’t spoken to his former TV wife since they wrapped filming.
“As far as I know, no one’s heard from her,” he said. “As soon as I left the experiment I blocked her number. But, if she wanted to, she could reach out, but she’s probably forgotten about me.”

Ellie and Jonathan confirm their relationship
The show’s worst-kept secret is that Ellie Dix and Jonathan – who were both married to different people on MAFS – have coupled up post-show.
Ellie was paired with Ben Walters, and their relationship quickly went down in flames as they were the third couple to exit the experiment. However, Lauren Dunn and Jonathan lasted until Final Vows, so the relationship between him and Ellie came as somewhat of a shock.
Regardless, Jonathan and Lauren apparently had no qualms about sharing their new found love at the Reunion… right in front of Lauren’s face.
Lauren addresses her “secret Bali boyfriend”
Lauren may not be too worried about Jonathan and Ellie’s new relationship, as it’s been revealed that she was seeing a man she met in Bali before entering the experiment.
It’s expected that she’ll discuss the mystery boo at the reunion.
Collins and Natalie will be there
Ellie, Jono, Lucinda, Lauren, Jayden, Collins, Ash, Ben, Cassandra, Tristan, Sara, Tim, Jade, Tori and Jack are all shown in the Reunion Finale preview.
The couple struggled to connect at their wedding and were the first to exit the experiment.
“I’m going into the reunion with a mindset of, ‘I’m going to treat him how I felt I wanted to be treated at that first dinner party,'” Natalie said during the interview.

The Queen has arrived! Denise Drysdale entered the jungle on April 1 to the cries of “Ding Dong” across the country! While the nickname has grown to be a sign of affection, its origins are a little bit more… ummm… a sign of their time.
In 2020, Denise’s former colleague Lawrence Mooney (Triple M’s Moonman in the Morning) revealed the reason for her moniker after the news broke that she was in hospital following a fall filming Seven’s Holey Moley.
“I worked with Denise Drysdale for two years as a hapless sidekick in the kitchen between ’99 and 2000. Great couple of years,” he told co-host Jess Eva at the time.

“Ding Dong came from 1974 when she joined Ernie Sigley’s show as the barrel girl, and it is mooted – in fact, it’s widely known – that he named her breasts, Ding and Dong. Simpler times.” *Jaw on the floor!*
Mooney then claimed it was common knowledge, stating, “It’s like calling your sidekick ‘big t**ts’.'”
“‘Or big ‘hmm’, for men,” Jess responded as Mooney asked if she wanted to name his testicles…
Thus, a fifty-year moniker was born.
Denise “Ding Dong” Drysdale’s stories
Denise entered the jungle as the “oldest” campmate to ever join the series, much to the delight of the 11 other contestants.
Tristan MacManus — who previously worked with Denise on Studio 10 — was delighted, revealing that his former co-star had “a lot of great stories” to tell.
Without skipping a beat, Denise told everyone how Patti Newton had to join the army to perform for our troops during the Vietnam War and why she threw a brussel sprout at Ita Buttrose! LOVE HER.
During the March 31 episode of I’m a Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here 2024, national treasure and icon Denise Drysdale entered the jungle.
While she hadn’t met her campmates yet (at the time of publication) she did reveal in her welcome package that she was the “oldest” contestant to have ever appeared in the series.
So, how old is she?!
Well, Denise was born on December 5, 1948, which makes her 75 years old! Unbelievable!
Speaking to the Herald Sun before trading in luxury for rice and beans, she said: “Don’t get the coffin out. I wouldn’t be doing it if I didn’t feel 100 per cent. I’ve got quite a few fears now I am older, I did absolutely everything when I was younger, jumped out of planes and all that. It’s definitely an adventure alright.”
She also admitted that she had been asked to do the show previously but it wasn’t the right time.
“One of the reasons that I didn’t want to do it, and I’ve got a different mindset now, I didn’t want to go and do those challenges where they eat all that muck because I would feel so guilty going back into the camp with no food,” she said.
“I am trying to steel my mind to think that everything I eat is chicken and everything in the hole is full of kittens.”
Who held the “oldest” crown on I’m a Celeb before Denise?
Before the comedian’s turn in the wilderness, Kerri-Anne Kennerley (#neverforget) held the title, appearing at 69 and before her, Bonnie Lithgow at 67 years old.

MAFS’ Jonathan and Lauren appear to be the yin to each other’s yang, while their personalities are very different, they don’t have any trouble having a laugh together.
But, will their contrasting personality traits complement each other, or will they discover that they’re too dissimilar?
Find out if Lauren and Jonathan are still together.

Lauren and Jonathan’s pairing
Lauren is the definition of high-energy, why Jonathan is a lot more relaxed. However, both Jonathan and Lauren were looking for someone opposite, making them a great match.
While Lauren was hoping for someone to balance her out, she also wanted a partner who “can match her level of sarcasm, wit and banter”.
Jonathan “credits his singledom at almost 40 to being with amazing women who he should have married in his 20s, and poor choices in his 30s.”
He was looking for someone to start a family with in the near future, and wanted someone as “equally motivated and put together as he is.”

Are Lauren and Jonathan are still together?
It’s safe to say that Lauren and Jonathan are absolutely not together!
The show’s worst-kept secret involves Jonathan and another MAFS bride. Photos leaked online of him at Ellie’s Christmas party, and another set of paparazzi photos published by Daily Mail Australia showed the mismatched couple making out on a Sydney beach.
Meanwhile, Lauren all but confirmed the break up over on a Perth beach. Lauren was pictured at Cottesloe Beach in Perth sans wedding ring – which is hardly surprising given Ellie and Jonathan’s romance.
