After months of speculation, The Bachelors winners Ellie Rolfe and Luke Bateman have finally confirmed that they’ve split.
Ellie and Ben met on the popular reality show which was filmed mid 2023, and were the only pair to stay together after the episode finished airing.

In the following months, Ellie and Luke flaunted their relationship on social media. However, in recent months both reality stars have stopped posting photos together, and they’ve cleaned out their social media so no couple pics remain – except for those related to the show.
“Ellie and I have separated and would like to keep our relationship private,” he said. “Ellie has a soul that lights up every room she walks into and I will sorely miss it in my life.”
Ellie and Luke on The Bachelors. Ten.
What has Ellie said about the breakup?
Ellie hasn’t publicly acknowledged the break up yet, apart from wiping non-The Bachelors-related photos of Luke from Instagram.
However, she did post a photo with former The Bachelors 2023 leads Ben Waddell and Thomas Malucelli at Fashion Week earlier this month.
The post drew questions from her followers, who were curious to know if she was still dating Luke.
“Have you and Luke broken up?!? They’re not following each other,” one person wrote. Another penned: “Where’s Luke? Awww no did you end it?”
There were two seasons of The Bachelors in 2023. The first starred Felix Von Hofe, Thomas Malucelli and Jed McIntosh.
Felix chose Jess Navin, and the relationship “fizzled out” shortly after, Jed picked Alésia Delaney who casually dated but split weeks after the finale aired, and Thomas got engaged to Leah Cummings in the finale. However, by the time the final episode aired, the couple had already called it quits.
Thomas proposes to Leah on The Bachelors. Ten.
In the second instalment, lead Ben Waddell split with his choice McKenna Lea before the episode aired, and Wesley Senna Cortes broke up with Brea Marshall.
The last couple standing were Ellie and Luke, however, that’s clearly done now too.

Former Harry Potter star Miriam Margolyes is known for her outlandish remarks; however, during an appearance on The Project, she left host Waleed Aly speechless.
The 82-year-old was serving as a guest panellist during the March 21 broadcast when she shared her views on the current situation in Gaza.
Calling for an immediate ceasefire, Miriam, who is of Jewish faith, had the support of the audience when she said: “Ceasefire now”.
“Whether you’re black or white, it doesn’t matter,” she continued, before turning to Waleed and asking: “What are you by the way? You’re sort of brown?”.
Waleed was visibly shocked and put his head in his hands while laughing.
“This is a really interesting question actually,” he told her. “I’ve thought about this a lot. I’m not joking about that… I’m Egyptian.”
Miriam, undeterred by the shock waves she had sent through the studio, then said: “Well, lucky I think, because I like the Egyptian people.”
She then admitted she was “on the side of the Palestinians”.
“I have to tell you that now, being Jewish, we always have to say what we are. Are we for Israel or are we against Israel? I’m only for humanity. Ceasefire,” she said.
Waleed, acknowledging the change of conversation, then added: “Well I think it’s safe to say that conversation did not go as predicted!”
“Who the hell cares. It’s important!” Miriam said, concluding the conversation.

Recently, the actor who played Professor Pomona Sprout in the Harry Potter series also shocked journalists — and fans around the world — when admitting she was concerned about adult fans of the film franchise because “they should be over that by now”.
Get ready to blur out your nude bits, walk through tables and watch someone else have an existential crisis right in front of your eyes; because the popular computer game The Sims is getting the movie treatment!
Hot off the heels of Barbie and in excellent news, Margot Robbie‘s production company, LuckyChap, is behind the new project — which meant we absolutely had to turn her into a Sim (above) thanks to Picsart!
According to The Hollywood Reporter, Kate Herron, best known for directing season one of Marvel’s Loki, is also attached to the film and will co-write the script with Briony Redman.
And if you’re worried about what they might do to our beloved game, don’t gain an irrational — and unchangeable — fear, because EA a.k.a Electronic Arts, will be involved in a creative and producing capacity.
Now, given this amazing news and the fact we’ve been playing The Sims since its inception in 2000, we have SO many ideas on how this film should play out.
Obviously, we’d love to see someone playing the game fall into it — which is the obvious choice; because we want to see a whole movie set in Oasis Springs or Del Sol Valley! We want horses, we want mermaids, we want possessed Strangerville characters and basically, we want to see Sims walking around in circles, people unable to move and every little intricacy of the whole game on-screen!
This means: does the character leave the lot?! Yes, then their infant must be sent five-game kms away. Is there a little bit of woohoo action going on?! Get under those doona covers and let’s see some fireworks! Want to get rich quick?! HIT THE MOTHERLODE, BABY!
Basically, this is the best news long-time fans have been given since the new stuff packs and we can’t wait to see how it comes to life.
During homestays, Eden and Jayden headed back to his family home on the Gold Coast. However, Eden initially missed the first flight and viewers were led to believe it was because she was riddled with anxiety about their relationship.
However, during an interview on Hit Network’s The Pulse with Seany B & Emma G, Eden revealed that Jayden actually knew where she was, and said it was just a case of her running late.
Jayden waiting for Eden. Nine.
Why did Eden really miss her flight?
In recent weeks Eden and Jayden’s relationship has been a bit of a rollercoaster; mainly related to the couple fighting over revealing Sara Mesa’s lie to Tim Calwell about meeting up with her ex.
The show made it out that Eden purposely missed the fight because of their relationship troubles.
“My wife is nowhere to be seen, so I’m going by myself,” Jayden said in the episode as he boarded the plane.
“As their time for departure closes in, Jayden is still unable to get in touch with Eden,” the voiceover chimes in.
Jayden at the airport. Nine.
However, Eden cleared up that her MAFS husband actually knew where she was.
“I messed up that morning. I didn’t run away because I wanted to think about my feelings or anything I got an Uber into the city because I needed to get nail fixed, so petty,” she laughed.
Eden explained that her mission into the city took longer than she expected due to peak hour Sydney traffic.
“The traffic was crazy. It took me over an hour to get home, and we live 15 minutes from the city, so I missed the flight. Jayden was fully aware of where I was and what was going on. I don’t know why he was saying that he hadn’t heard from me because he definitely had,” she revealed.
Eden on MAFS. Nine.
Eden added that she’s even got proof that she was in touch with Jayden about her whereabouts while she was stuck in traffic.
“I’ve literally got the text with Jayden where I was at the airport at the same time they were checking in and I booked the next flight and I told him ‘I’m going on the next flight, It’s going to be two hours behind yours’,” she said.
“So at that moment when they filmed him walking on [the plane], he knew exactly where I was and what I was doing. I was like This is wild, why is he doing that?”

A body language expert has addressed Tori Adams and Jack Dunkley’s claims about having sex and said that the signs indicate that the MAFS couple is telling a big old fib.
At Wednesday night’s Dinner Party, Tori and Jack smugly told the group that they’d finally consummated their marriage, but… something seemed very odd about their confession. Turns out, pretty much all the other MAFS participants agreed, and they certainly voiced their opinions about it at the event.
“Have you made up the sleeping thing to take the heat off?” Tim Smith questioned, while Lauren Dunn straight up stated: “I don’t believe it”.
Combined Communications Specialist and Body Language Expert Scott Taylor, pointed out several interactions between Jack and Tori that he believes may suggest that the couple didn’t actually do the deed.
“When everyone asked if they had sex, their non-verbals and even tone of words make me believe it didn’t happen,” Scott said. “I would say they were intimate in some fashion, but there was no touch, no caring glances, or anything you would expect to see.”
Jack’s controlling body language
For weeks, Jack and Tori have faced scrutiny from both experts and fellow participants regarding their lack of sexual intimacy. So, it’s possible that they could have fibbed about their sex life in order to shift the pressure off themselves.
Scott pointed out that Jack’s body language was typical of controlling behaviour, which could equate to asking Tori to play along with the act.
“At dinner when they were speaking – Jack made a controlling gesture on her knees before saying he would ‘have a room for her,’ he said.
Jack has his arm on Tori’s knee. Nine.
“He wasn’t touching her like that until she was going to answer so it was another form of controlling behaviour. This has happened numerous times at dinners and on the expert’s lounge.”
Furthermore, over the weeks, Tori has become more and more distanced from her fellow castmates because of Jack’s behaviour, which Scott said is another sign of control.
“Tori saying she would isolate from everyone could be perceived as being a manipulated act of Jack’s controlling behaviour as isolating is a well-used tool, sadly.”
Tori and Jack’s lack of post-coital connection
Sex between a couple with strong feelings usually creates intimacy and builds an emotional connection, resulting in obvious physical touch. However, it was blatantly clear that this wasn’t the case with Jack and Tori.
“In the car, they were still showing a lack of affection and closeness. Looking apart, no hand holding which they would earlier do to some extent,” Scott said.

Other indications that Tori and Jack weren’t telling the truth
Plus, the first mention of Tori and Jack’s tryst was when a producer pointed out that she and Jack finished their homestay “with a bang”.
“Tori didn’t confirm it – she just said I love what you did there,” Scott said.
On top of that, Scott said Tori’s reaction when speaking about their supposed boink indicated that she may be lying.
“When she then was describing things she had a completely altered eye reference point and changed speaking cadence. This could be driven by deceptive behaviour,” he pointed out.

Get ready to fall in love with Ryan Gosling and Emily Blunt again because Universal Pictures has just released a brand-spankin’ new trailer and cinematic release date for The Fall Guy.
The new flick is a hilarious, hard-driving, all-star apex-action thriller that is a love letter to action movies and the hard-working and under-appreciated crew of people who make them.
Inspired by the hit 1980s TV series and filmed in Sydney earlier this year, the movie stars Gosling as a VERY jacked stuntman, who gets embroiled in a whole lot more drama than he bargained for.

Official Synopsis
The official synopsis reads: “He’s a stuntman, and like everyone in the stunt community, he gets blown up, shot, crashed, thrown through windows and dropped from the highest of heights, all for our entertainment. And now, fresh off an almost career-ending accident, this working-class hero has to track down a missing movie star, solve a conspiracy and try to win back the love of his life while still doing his day job. What could possibly go right?”

What else do we know about the story and who else stars?
Gosling (Barbie) stars as Colt Seavers, a battle-scarred stuntman who, having left the business a year earlier to focus on both his physical and mental health, is drafted back into service when the star of a mega-budget studio movie—being directed by his ex, Jody Moreno, played by Blunt (Oppenheimer)—goes missing.
While the film’s ruthless producer (Hannah Waddingham; Ted Lasso), maneuvers to keep the disappearance of star Tom Ryder (Aaron Taylor-Johnson; Bullet Train) a secret from the studio and the media, Colt performs the film’s most outrageous stunts while trying (with limited success) to charm his way back into Jody’s good graces.
Ryan Gosling. The Fall Guy, Universal
But as the mystery around the missing star deepens, Colt will find himself ensnared in a sinister, criminal plot that will push him to the edge of a fall more dangerous than any stunt.
The flick also stars Winston Duke (Black Panther franchise) and Stephanie Hsu (Everything Everywhere All at Once).
Ryan Gosling is Colt Seavers and Emily Blunt is Judy Moreno. Universal
Who is the team behind The Fall Guy?
The Fall Guy was directed by real-life stuntman and director David Leitch — the YUGELY famous blockbuster director of Bullet Train, Deadpool 2, Atomic Blonde and Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shaw. He also produced films John Wick, Nobody and Violent Night and according to the press release, the new flick is his most personal one yet.
Hobbs & Shaw screenwriter Drew Pearce also wrote the script, so you can bet it will be filled to the brim with action AND some light comedy… mostly from Gosling.
When will The Fall Guy be released?
While there’s no set date yet, The Fall Guy will be released in cinemas on April 24.
Be still our beating hearts! Netflix has just released another season three teaser and this time it features season two love-birds Kate (Simone Ashley) and Anthony (Jonathan Bailey).
As fans would recall, after season one, the dashing Simon Basset (Regé-Jean Page) was only mentioned in the series after Regé-Jean Page left. This caused disappointment among fans as they had become invested in his romance with his wife Daphne (Phoebe Dynevor).

Thankfully, this is not the case with “Kanthony” (as the IRL ton affectionately calls them), who were the featured couple in the second season and who also have a storyline in the third, despite the instalment focusing on Colin (Luke Newton) and Lady Whistledown herself, Penelope (Nicola Coughlan).
In the brand-new clip released on March 21, a very grown-up Francesca (played by Hannah Dodd after Ruby Stokes’ exit) asks her oldest brother if she can have some alone time. He agrees before spotting his wife with his mother across the room.
After walking over to them, Lady Violet (Ruth Gemmell) questions him about Francesca, and he tells her she requires “a moment alone”.
“As do I…with my beautiful wife,” he says. LE SIGH!

The couple then dance in the most romantic way possible and we can hardly stand how gorgeous they are together! Plus, you can tell just how much these two adore each other in real life.

Bridgerton Season 3 premieres in two parts on May 16 and June 13 only on Netflix.
Married At First Sight’s Jack Dunkley has made it obvious that if he’s to stay together with Tori Adams, she’ll have to move to the Gold Coast, and she’s agreed that she will.
**WARNING: This article contains potential spoilers for MAFS 2024.**
During Tuesday night’s episode, the couple spoke about having a long-distance relationship for six months, before Tori moved up to the Gold Coast.
If the spoilers are to be believed, Tori and Jack are still together, and now an innocent Facebook post shows that she’s selling her car, wedding dress and fridge, hitting at a possible move to be with Jack.

Viewers around the nation collectively lost their s**t when fan-favourite Feras Basal was crowned the winner of Australian Survivor 2024 – and it’s unlikely to be the last time he graces our screens.
The OG Rebel’s position in the game was in serious strife when the final three came to include two of his greatest nemesis, Titans Caroline Courtis and Mark Warnock.
However, Feras managed to muster all the strength he could find and win the final Immunity Challenge, which saw him choose to bring Caroline to the final two.
The final Immunity Challenge. Ten.
Caroline and Feras pled their cases in front of the Jury in the finale, and Feras reigned triumphant, winning the season with a completely unanimous vote.
Feras was undoubtedly one of the most iconic winners to ever come out of Australian Survivor, and he’s totally on board for a return to the franchise, suggesting that he could face George Mladenov in an All-Stars season.
“Oh my god, that would be amazing. I would love to go back a second time on Survivor,” he said in an exclusive winner’s interview with Chattr.
Feras Basal. Ten.
Feras Basal would love to return to TV
Prior to appearing on Australian Survivor, Feras had over 70,000 followers on his TikTok account, where he’d regularly post hilarious short videos.
During our interview, Feras said he’d jump at the chance to launch a career in TV.
“I’ve always said this my whole life, I’ve always wanted to make a career out of entertainment,” he said. “Whether it be a TV show or reality show. I love that I can entertain people and that people are entertained by me. “
“So whatever chance or opportunity I get to be on something else, I’m 100% going to take it and grab it”
Feras pointed out that after his win, his name was trending on Twitter more than the hit reality TV show MAFS.
“To have me trending on Twitter over MAFS, it just tells me I need my own show!” He laughed.
Feras’ Instagram story.
In Feras’ promo video, he compared himself to iconic Survivor player King George, who’s appeared in two seasons and came runner-up in one. “I’m here to finish what he couldn’t do,” Feras said – and turns out, he did it!
Feras said that George isn’t salty about his win, but instead very happy for him.
“George, thankfully, he’s really, really proud of me. I think he just wanted to see someone from Western Sydney win. He’s been really, really gracious and supportive. I’m so grateful to have someone like George as a friend.”
The unaired Tribal scene that almost made Feras give up on the Sole Survivor title
During the interview Feras’ revealed that there was a lot more that went down at the final Tribal Council than was shown on TV.
“My speech actually went for about ten minutes. I named all my moves,” he revealed.
Viewers were confused when Jaden and Raymond’s Jury questions weren’t aired, and the Australian Survivor winner shared exactly what they’d said.
“Jaden didn’t have a question, but he did have a comment which was really nice. He pretty much said, ‘It’s so nice to see, you know, another brother from Western Sydney make it this far and represent the way I did,’ Feras said.
He revealed that Raymond’s question almost made him want to give up on the game and hand Caroline the title.
“Raymond did ask a question, and my answer was shown, but his question wasn’t. He asked both Caroline and me what we would rather have, the title of Sole Survivor or half a million dollars? Caroline said Sole Survivor, and I said half a million dollars. I was so close to saying, ‘You know what, Caroline, you can take the title and I’ll take the half a million dollars,'” he laughed.
The final Jury. Ten.
What will Feras spend his $500,000 prize money on?
Fortunately for Feras, along with the bragging rights of becoming 2024’s Sole Survivor, he also landed a $500,000 cash prize.
Feras revealed that although they filmed the finale months ago, he didn’t find out that he’d won until the episode aired, which he watched with contestants Raymond, Kirby, Aileen, Rianna, Garrick, Viola, Frankie, Nathan, Jaden, Winna, Kelly and Sarah.
“I found out last night, so you can imagine how on the edge I’ve been for the past couple of months,” he revealed, suggesting that two endings were filmed and the winner was only revealed as the episode aired.
The HR Manager from Western Sydney said that he’ll be frugal with his winnings, but has one splurge in mind.
“I’m not one to splurge at all; I will probably still have my Kmart clothes! The only thing I will splurge on is to go on a bit of a holiday for a bit.”
“Other than that, the rest of the money is literally going to invest in our future. I know it’s the boring answer, but these days, chips are eight dollars!”
Raymond and Feras on Survivor. Ten.
What Feras is most proud of
However, while Feras said the title of Sole Survivor and the winnings are great, he’s most proud of being able to represent his culture on Survivor.
“I’m super proud. Number one, winning is amazing and I’m so proud of that. But what I’m most proud of is representing myself, my culture, and my faith in the best way possible. I wanted people to understand that people like me, and people who look like me, can be seen in a positive light because a lot of the time, it isn’t.”

After weeks of relationship turmoil, Andrea Thompson and Richard Sauerman decided to leave Married At First Sight, and now, it’s been revealed that she’s started dating someone new.
A close friend of Andrea’s told Chattr that she’s been keeping her budding relationship under wraps.
“Andrea has been on a couple of dates since the experiment but she has had to keep them secret because the participants aren’t allowed to spoil any of the story before it airs on TV (even though I know lots of them have been breaking this rule),” the friend dished.

Andrea’s been dating someone who “readers would be familiar with”
While the friend didn’t reveal who the new man is, she did say it’s a well-known name.
“A bunch of her [Andrea’s] inner circle were together last night to watch the commitment ceremony with her and she told us there is someone who she has connected with since being on the show,” she said.
The friend raved that things have been going really well between Andrea and her new man, and revealed that they have a staycation planned.
“This man calls and texts her almost every day, he’s coming to see her this weekend they’re having a secret little catch-up and have planned to stay together for a few days and then in a week or two she’s going to go and see him again!!!”
Plus, the pal indulged that “readers would be familiar with this person.”

“There is no Andrea and Richard now,” the mate revealed. “She caught up with him for a coffee when she was in Sydney to see Pink and he asked if she wanted to get back together but she said no.”
“I don’t think there is any animosity; they’re civil to each other over text but don’t really have an active friendship or anything.”
Andrea confirms that she’s dating again
Andrea confirmed toDaily Mail Australia that she’s back on the dating scene, but played coy about her current relationship status.
“Yes, I’m definitely dating again,” she told the publication. “I just wish someone would ask me out, and I have to tell you if this guy shows up with a scarf on, I’m running to the hills,’ she joked, referring to Richard’s penchant for donning the neckwear.

The NCIS: Sydney gang is returning for season two!
On March 20, Paramount+ announced that the much-anticipated second instalment would begin production in the coming months.
The series, which became Australia’s most-watched local series premiere on the streaming service, was not only popular here, but was also a sensation with international audiences. Because of this, the second season was also greenlit by the CBS Television Network in the U.S.

Australian Survivor 2024’sFeras Basal has made history as the first Arab Australian to be crowned Sole Survivor.
After 50 days on the Samoan island, Feras faced Caroline Courtis in the final with the jury unanimously voting him as the winner.
Beating Caroline was Feras’ last hurdle after he played a part in both Mark Warnock’s elimination in third place, and his nemesis-turned-ally Kirby Bently in fifth. Meanwhile, Feras’ close friend RaymondChaneycame in fourth place.

What was the final Immunity Challenge?
During the final Immunity Challenge, Mark, Caroline and Feras were positioned on a huge wooden turning wheel with pegs sticking out for the hands and feet. As the wheel turned, the contestants had to adjust themselves and avoid falling off. Plus, they were surrounded by fire.
Mark was the first out, lasting two hours and fifteen minutes while Caroline stepped off after two hours and thirty minutes. Feras was the last man standing, claiming Individual Immunity and a guaranteed position in the final two.
As well as making the Grand Final, Feras had the advantage of choosing who would sit next to him. He chose to take Caroline, and Mark was eliminated.

What were Feras and Caroline’s pitches?
At the final Tribal Council, Feras and Caroline had the opportunity to pitch to the jury – made up of former contestants – why they think they deserve to win Australian Survivor.
Compared to her rival, Caroline headed into her speech knowing that the Jury may think she was a weaker link, so she pitched to the massive threats she eliminated in the game and the power couple she had split up.
Meanwhile, Feras told the jury about the strong alliances he had built through the game and explained to them how he knew when to use big players as a shield, and when to emerge as a big player of his own.

How did the votes go?
Feras received votes from every Jury remember – Ri, Aileen, Alex, Jaden, Kitty, Raymond, Valeria, Kirby and Mark — winning him the title of Sole Survivor for Australian Survivor 2024.
“I am absolutely over the moon. I did not, in a million years, think I could make it on Survivor let alone win the bloody game! I’m literally still shaking,” he said in the producer-led post-win interview.
Twenty-four competitors arrived in Samoa, each aiming to claim the coveted title of Australian Survivor: Titans v Rebels Sole Survivor. To triumph, they had to strategically outplay and outlast the others, as one by one, castaways were voted off and left the show.
After half the contestants were eliminated, a merge took place with each person out for themselves and from that point on, anyone who was kicked off the island, would become a member of the Survivor Jury.
So, who has left Australian Survivor 2024 so far and who is now a juror?! Scroll through to find out!

If you’re wondering who will Outwit, Outplay and Outlast on Survivor Australia 2024, then you’re in luck, because the winner may have just leaked.
Betting odds indicate that one of the most strategic castaways thus far will take home the title of Sole Survivor and the $500,000 prize money.
Outspoken Feras Basal has the best return of just $1.23 to win this year’s SurvivorAustralia. Which is… insanely low.
The player with the next best odds to win is Diplomat Mark Warnock, with a huge jump to a $6.00 return.
In last place sits Caroline Courtis with a return of $7.50 for every one-dollar bet on her.
When a contestant has winning betting odds, it means that people bet the most money that that person will win.

What do betting odds mean?
Betting odds are based on dollar value. If someone bets $1, they’d receive back the amount the team was listed at. For example, if someone bets $1 on Feras and he wins, they’d receive a $1.23 return. This corresponds with the amount deposited, so $10 would turn into $12.30, $100 would turn into $123, and so on.
In other words, if you bet on Feras and he wound up winning you won’t really make too much moolah.
Betting odds for each of the Survivor 2024 contestants
Not always, however, betting odds can often be a good indicator of who will win a show.
Most recently, betting odds suggested that Steph and Gian would win The Block 2023, which they well and truly did, with a profit of $1.65 million, plus $100,000 in prize money.
Similarly, Liz Parnov had the best odds to win Survivor Australia 2023 and she was, in fact, crowned the winner.
