Farmer Tom may have a bunch of beautiful women after him on Farmer Wants a Wife 2024, but he certainly knows how to stay humble.
“I’m definitely not gorgeous, that’s for sure, but that’s okay,” he said in his promotional video with a laugh.
At just 22, Tom is the younger of this year’s farmers. However, despite his ripe age, he’s hoping to find someone down to earth, that’s ready to move to his farm and settle down with him.
Who is Farmer Tom?
According to his Channel 7 bio, Tom loves to cook and travel and is always up for a social event.
“I love cutting horseshoes as well as hosting get-togethers at home. I’m also a big country music fan,” he said, listing American artist Zach Bryan as his favourite artist.
Tom is from Nagambie, Victoria and he runs a mixed farming operation of cattle and cropping.
What is Tom looking for?
Tom joined Farmer Wants a Wife with the hope of finding his soul mate.
“I’m here to find true love and my wife,” he told the Channel Seven.
“I’m definitely looking for a wife over a girlfriend, I’ve had girlfriends before and that’s good, but there’s definitely the intention for a wife, and have kids, live together forever,” he added.
Tom said that he’s looking for someone with a great sense of humour.
“Definitely gotta kind of make me laugh, like I can be a bit dry at times, and been told I’ve got a bit of a ‘resting bitch face’, so gotta be able to kind of spice things up, in that sense,” he revealed.
All I really want is an equal, someone who’s on the same level mentally and is very motivated and someone to bounce ideas off,” he said.
Farmer Wants a Wife 2024 premieres at 7.00pm on Sunday, 14 April on Channel 7 and 7plus.
Well-travelled Farmer Joe is looking for the right woman to settle down with, and he’s hoping to find her on Farmer Wants a Wife 2024.
Joe described himself as “funny, spontaneous, honest, comfortable in my own skin” in his FWAWapplication.
He has a long list of qualities he’s looking for in his ideal partner, and some of them include someone who’s family-orientated, kind-hearted, not self-absorbed, charitable and community-orientated.
Joe is a 33-year-old cattle and sheep farmer from the NSW Snowy Mountains.
Travel is very important to Farmer Joe
Joe has seen his share of the world and counts travelling as one of his biggest interests.
“I’ve been lucky enough to travel and experience a bit of the world through various Rugby League opportunities. Playing footy and living in the U.S. was a highlight, but England was a little too wet for my likin’!” He said.
The 33-year-old added that he’s “shaken our late Queen’s hand” and “swam with whale sharks at Ningaloo Reef”.
What is FWAW’s Joe looking for in a woman?
With travel being one of Joe’s biggest passions, he’d love to find a woman with a similar excitement about it.
“I’m looking for someone who’s beautiful inside and out. A love for travel and the outdoors is also important,” he said.
Of course, being passionate about farm life is another important trait Joe’s partner must have.
“Someone who is fit, active and can adapt well to farm life. I want someone who’s my equal; I don’t need someone to look after me or mother me,” she said.
“Ideally, she’s strong-willed, ambitious, organised and decisive…I want a partner that can decide what she wants for dinner! Haha!” He added.

Hamish Blake and Ryan McNaught a.k.a Brickmanmay be host and judge on Lego Masters vs The World, but it turns out they had a hand in creating the concept as well!
Speaking to Chattr from the set of Lego Masters during filming back in December, executive producer David McDonald revealed that he, Hamish, Brickman and the Endemol Team were always chatting to “fill time” between takes.
“Back in series three, we were talking about getting teams from around the world, because the show kept expanding,” he said. “Ukraine did it, then Germany had a crack and then we did it, and then the show rolled out more and more and more. The idea just started there.”
Hamish Blake, Brickman and the cast of Lego Masters vs The World. Nine
According to David, there are “different disciplines in different countries and people are into different things.”
“For instance, Technic is more seen in Germany,” he said. “And the French are more avant-garde! There’s different things from different countries with how they focus their storytelling, and just the way they think.”
In addition to this, David says the “characters” are different — adding another dimension to the series.
“I think from a character perspective, it’s different backgrounds and different experiences. There’s something to play with, something to learn and something for Hamish to play with as well.”
Hamish Blake and Ryan McNaught “Brickman”, Lego Masters 2024. Nine
Even though Lego Masters is in its sixth season, the Nine EP admitted that the contestants continue to surprise him.
“What’s amazing about it is that they’re freestyling it and they do it immediately,” he said of the builds. “There’s nothing behind the scenes where we tell them the challenge before they’re actually on camera. All that stuff is on camera when they’re told what the challenge is, and how long they’ve got to do it and start. It’s all legitimate.”
“The pressure of that is extraordinary.”
Felix and Annalena, Lego Masters 2024. Nine
As for the show’s continued success and popularity, David believes it’s because “everyone’s got a passing familiarity with Lego”.
“Whether you built with it as a kid or whether you built it with your own kids. There’s just something about it, the familiarity of it, knowing what it can do.
He continued: “With Lego, it’s being creative and watching creative things happen.”
Farmer Wants a Wife2024 is filmed at the Farmer’s beautiful properties across Australia, however, there’s one main location where all of the contestants return to for each ceremony.
That location is also the place where the Farmers first meet their groups of women, and it’s where the eliminations will take place throughout the season.
The property is called The Convent, and it’s in the Hunter Valley in New South Wales.
The Convent is a luxury boutique hotel that’s nestled within the wine region of wine of Polkobin. As well as a hotel, the property also offers Pepper Tree Winery and a hatted restaurant called Circa 1876.

If you’re hoping to stay at the beautiful location where Farmer Wants a Wife is filmed, then you’re in luck. The Convent has a range of rooms, including a deluxe room, a superior room, garden suite and a premier room. Rooms start from around $250 a night.
The Convent.
The Deluxe Rooms are described as “the perfect place to watch the sunset and sample a fine Hunter Valley wine.
What other amenities does The Convent have?
The Convent is described as “European luxe meets Hamptons Long Island”.
The picturesque property features a gorgeous outdoor pool and a large tennis court. There are also bikes available for guests who want to explore the grounds.
Of course one of The Convent’s most in-demand features is its hatted restaurant, Circa 1876.

It’s located in a historic cottage on the picturesque grounds of Roscrea Estate, surrounded by a rich produce-filled kitchen gardens and chicken coop.
The menu includes gourmet fare including scallop ceviche, charred pork belly and seared lamb fillet.

KIISFM and Australian Idol judge Kyle Sandilands has shared the harrowing news that an aunt of his wife Tegan Kynaston was among those injured in the knife attack at Westfield Bondi Junction on April 13.
During Monday’s broadcast of The Kyle and Jackie O Show, the 52-year-old revealed the relative, named Yvonne, was stabbed opposite Chanel, suffering a shoulder wound.
Speaking about the incident, he then said that Bondi Rescue lifeguard Andy Reid could see Yvonne lying on the ground.

Andy — who was locked inside Myer — saw Yvonne collapsed on the floor outside before insisting to be let out to offer first aid.
“He told them to let him out of Myer because if he doesn’t get to her, she is going to die,” Kyle said. “So they let him out and he ran to assistance until the paramedics arrived.”
Jackie O also shared a story, revealing that her ex-husband Lee Henderson frequented a JiuJitsu class inside the “mall part” and a few days earlier, their daughter Kitty had asked if he would go inside Westfield with her.
“You can go on your own. It’s Bondi Junction. Nothing ever happens in Bondi Junction,” Lee had told her.

“You do think that,” Jackie said, before adding: “On that day that it happened, just a couple of hours before that happened, Kitty asked me if she could go to Westfield in Bondi Junction… she was meeting a friend there.
“As we were leaving to go there, she stubbed her toe and broke it and so we were forced to stay home…because she broke it, it meant that we stayed home.”
“Something like that for her would have been really traumatic,” Jackie said.
Hugh Jackman has led the celebrity tributes honouring the fallen victims of Saturday’s Westfield Bondi Junction attack which killed six people.
Fourty-year-old Queensland man Joel Cauchi carried out the stabbings, sending shockwaves through the community and around the world.
Taking to Instagram, Sydney-raised Hugh said his “thoughts and prayers” were “with the families of the victims who lost their lives”.
“To the first responders and members of the community… your extraordinary acts of bravery are truly remarkable. With love and gratitude, Hugh.”

Rebel Wilson also paid homage to the victims, admitting that she and her fiancé Ramona Agruma, regularly visited the shopping complex with their 19-month-old daughter, Royce.
“My family and I have just spent a lot of time in Bondi and regularly go to Bondi Junction Westfield,” she wrote on her Instagram stories.
“I am horrified that such violence and tragedy can occur in such a special, amazing place where we always felt safe. This is just devastating.”

Married at First Sight’s Alessandra Rampolla also took to the social media platform to express her sorrow; revealing how Bondi was her “home away from home”.
“I’ve lived in Bondi since I first began travelling to Australia to film MAFS in 2020,” she said. “It was literally the place I was taken to the moment I was able to leave hotel quarantine!
“It’s where I’ve built profound friendships, amazing memories and mindful community. It’s my home away from home.”
Alessandra Rampolla’s tribute, Instagram
Meanwhile, Sydney-born actress Tammin Sursock, who has now built a life in America, also paid tribute to the senseless killings.
“I’m completely horrified and devastated hearing the news about the stabbing and killing of six people and many critically injured in Bondi Mall, Sydney,” she penned on Instagram. “This is my neighbourhood and a mall we visit all the time. I’m not in Sydney right now, but my heart is broken. A child was also hurt.”

Former Married at First Sight stars Jules Robinson and Cam Merchant also paid tribute, posting a joint single frame to their account.
“Bondi Junction 💔💔💔💔💔💔 13-04-2024,” it read.
The accompanying caption revealed that the couple had only left Bondi Junction 1 hour and 40 minutes before.
“I am filled with so much sadness and Grief with what happened in our beautiful city yesterday. #BondiJunction“, Jules wrote on April 14.
“Im sending so many prayers, love and condolences to all the families who are left truly devastating beyond belief…
“As a family, we were there enjoying our day, the sun was out, smiling faces everywhere, and now I think what would we have done to protect our baby and other members of the Public? The what if is so scary and fills me with fear.. We left Westfield and walked through where the evil acted was played out to get back to our car only 1hr 40 mins earlier…. [sic]”

All Farmer Wants a Wife 2024’sDustin wants is to find the love of his life, but he constantly faces rejection when he reveals that he lives on a remote farm in Condobolin, NSW.
The tiny town of Condobolin sits six hours’ drive from Sydney and has a population of just 3500 people.
“Everything is going good [in a new relationship] until they say, ‘Where are you from?’ and you tell them and they’re like, ‘Nah, that’s it. I’ll pass,'” Dustin admits in his intro clip.
“We’re pretty remote out here, it’s like trying to find a needle in a haystack.”
What is Dustin like?
FWAW’s Dustin admits that he can be “a little quiet and shy at first”, but said once he’s comfortable he’s fun side comes out.
“You won’t be able to keep me quiet! I am fun, happy, love a laugh and to take the mickey. But I am very serious about work, the farm and my family. I am very ambitious, driven to succeed and grow the family farm,” he said on his Farmer Wants a Wife application.
The third-generation NSW farmer lists loyalty and honesty as two of his best qualities.
“My ability to forgive and move forward. I am not a grudge-holder by any means. I am honest and positive. Also, fair and understanding. I pride myself on my work ethic and enthusiasm,” he said.

What is FWAW’s Dustin looking for?
Dustin wants someone who is ready to embrace life on the farm with him, and he’s hoping to find someone who wants to start a family sooner rather than later.

“I’m so excited to meet you and I hope that you’re just a genuine, lovely woman who is ready to get to know me and hopefully fall in love.”

Farmer Wants a Wife 2024 Pineapple Farmer Bert Harris is looking for a woman who will go troppo for true love – not for drama.
The farmer from Wamuran, Queensland is looking for his soulmate to join him on his farm, where he specialises in growing pineapples, pumpkins and dragonfruit.
“Life on the land gets lonely. I definitely have a lot of love to give,” Bert said in a Channel Seven intro video. “I think that I’m ready for something special. I’m ready to dive in and try again.”
What is Bert looking for?
Bert’s fruit farm is conveniently 50 minutes out of Brisbane and 30 minutes to the beach, and he’d like to find a woman who enjoys the same kind of lifestyle as him.
“I also need somebody that’s independent as well. Sassy, fun outgoing, you know, preferably likes the ocean,” he said in an Instagram video.
“But if she doesn’t, that’s also fine,” he laughed.
Regardless of whether she’s a water baby, Bert just wants to find a meaningful connection.
“Love to me feels like you want to see each other when you get home, that excitement when you come through the front door.
“Or the idea of going away together is something that I wanna be able to look forward to and, and spend more time doing.”
Bert has one deal breaker: women who aren’t on FWAW for the right reasons. “I hate drama,” he revealed.
Unfortunately, things don’t look too promising for Bert in that department, as the sneak peek shows a woman crying and another contestant exclaiming that the Farmer isn’t a “trophy”.

Bert’s got a bit of a shy side
Bert’s rugged good looks had his crop of contestants looking pleased as punch, however, Bert isn’t as confident as one might imagine.
“It’s an intimidating feeling, meeting a beautiful woman, it’s hard to find your words sometimes,” he admits.
While he may have to overcome some drama to get there, Bert’s journey to find love looks promising. There’s one lady, in particular, who appears to really have caught Bert’s attention.
“Honestly every time you come in the room I just smile a little bit,” he told her in the preview.

“I don’t watch movies, or TV. Never have. I don’t have the time. I’m very work-driven,” he said.

What is Dean looking for in a woman?
Dean doesn’t consider himself “picky”, but does want someone who places importance on family.
“I’d say I’m really not too picky! As long as they’re outgoing, hardworking & driven like me! Someone, who can make me laugh & smile. Who’s keen to have a crack! Just willing to have a go!
“Someone I can take home to Mum & Dad. A family-loving person, who wants to live on the farm, enjoy the country life & loves animals. Must also be honest & loyal.”

At the home visits, things seemed to go well for Lorelei, with her brother remarking: “I think this may be the happiest I’ve seen Lorelei with a partner before.”

Married At First Sight’s golden couple Tahnee Cook and Ollie Skelton announced their split in December, and now the MAFS bride has shared some brutal info about what happened after they broke up.
“Hello, Tahnee and I have split up. It’s sad, but it’s okay,” Ollie began.
“Our lives are taking us in different directions and we feel at this stage it’s the best decision for us,” Tahnee wrote.
When Ollie and Tahnee were dating they lived together, so there were some logistics to figure out after they split up.
“That was a big difficult factor because there was obviously a period of time that we had to live together while we broke, which is hell, I would never recommend that for anyone,” she told the Back To Realitypodcast. “But there’s a bit of there’s a rental crisis going on.
Tahnee revealed that while she was still living with Ollie, he brought multiple women back to their house.
“There was I think two occasions [of women coming over], two or three occasions that I know of. I don’t know about the rest but there was two, actually three that I know of,” she said.
“I had come back from a work trip, I was kind of cleaning the house and I found a pair of earrings in the house that weren’t mine. I obviously confronted him about it,” she shared.

“I think I was quite shocked at how soon it was and the lack of respect for my privacy, my space, my belongings. I think that’s what hurt me the most. Because I hate to say but we’re in the public eye and I don’t know who these randoms are in my space. What if they’re touching my things, taking photos… when it was like literal randoms I didn’t know that made me really upset and angry.”
In a momentous Olympic Games year, Lego Masters 2024 will see Australia take on the World, with four brand-new Aussie teams going head-to-head with four teams of International Lego superstars!
For hosts Hamish Blake and Brickman a.k.a Ryan McNaught, having teams from Denmark, France and the USA is “exciting”, however, nothing prepared them for German duo, Felix and Annalena.
“The German team might be some of our favourite contestants of all time,” Hamish told Chattr in 2023 while on set filming the sixth season. “They won the German version and they are like pro athletes!”
Felix and Annaelena, Lego Masters 2024. Nine
Adding that after five years of purely Aussie talent, the “newness of having these international teams” is fascinating, because they have “different ways of doing things”.
“The personalities are so different and we have so much fun with the other languages,” Brickman, who was also sitting in on the same interview, said. “It really is fun and interesting because as soon as it gets tense, the teams will default back to their natural language and everyone just starts speaking either Danish, German or French!”
“They have different quirks in communication and culture,” Hamish added, before referencing the German duo once again.
“They are absolute fiends for just diverting to German. You think of Endemol Shine just spending a fortune on translating because we get to see a live brainstorm in German!”
Annaelena and Felix on the set of Lego Masters 2024. Nine
While Hamish and Brickman have ruled the Lego Masters Brick Pit in the past, this year has been a little different.
“Felix bosses me around a little,” he admitted. “He’s 21 years old and I’m 42, but he’s just so charismatic, focused, lovely and so confident!
“He’ll just say stuff like: ‘I’m a little bit busy now. You can come back.’ He doesn’t say: “Can you come back?”, he just really politely says, ‘You will come back later.'” HA!
For Brickman, it’s astounding to watch given that Annaelena is “an amazing Lego builder and Felix becomes very protective of her.
“If you go to ask her a question, Felix will step in and go: ‘No, she’s too busy to talk to you right now’,” he said.

While the German team may be the ones to watch in terms of entertainment, Hamish admitted that they were not “invincible”.
“Throughout the season there are different people as winners,” he said. “Different challenges challenge them all in different ways. The wins are absolutely spread around this season.”

Below Deck fans were in for a treat when all five of the show’s captains got together to dish on what it’s really like filming on board.
Yup, Captain Lee, Captain Jason, Captain Glenn, Captain Sandy and Captain Kerry all sat down with Bravo’s At The Helm for a chat about what really happens behind the scenes on their charter yachts.
Captain Lee spoke about how confronting it is to go from being a regular captain to instantly becoming a reality star.
“We’ve all gone through the morph period, where we’ve all done our job as captains, then all of a sudden, here’s a reality there’s this reality TV show that we’re thrust into,” he said.
Captain Lee. Bravo.
“All of [the other captains] went through a process of interviewing and taping, I was just a pure accident, I was that baby that wasn’t expected,” Lee explained, referring to the fact that he was the first Below Deck captain ever.
He added that turning a regular super yacht into a reality TV set is no small feat.
“As soon as the gangplank’s down, [the production team] are invading the boat. They’re ripping walls out, they’re ripping ceilings out, installing cameras, wiring, nobody really knew what we were doing or what to expect because no one had ever filmed on a boat that was going to be moving.”
Behind the scenes. Bravo.
Captain Glenn reveals the most dangerous part about filming Below Deck
Captain Glenn admitted that he didn’t find having cameras on board “that big of a deal” adding that “you get use to them pretty quickly”, however he said there were other factors involved with filming that weren’t as easy to deal with.
“The logistics of getting all the production people on and off the boat safely multiple times a day adds an extra element. That’s something you wouldn’t deal with if you had no one there other than guests,” he said.
Captain Glenn. Bravo.
Lee added that Glenn’s boats, which are Sailing Yacht as opposed to Super Yachts, are especially hard to handle.
“You have it extremely tough because you don’t have the benefit of stabilisers, you’re just rolling and rocking all over the place,” he pointed out.
“Exactly,” Glenn agreed.
Stabilisers are fins or rotors that are mounted below the boat to reduce its roll due to wind or waves.

Off the back of the success of HBO’s The Last of Us, Prime Video has launched its own video game-based television series with Fallout, proving that a strong storytelling foundation isn’t needed to impress viewers.
Compared to its counterpart — where the game’s popularity and television adaptation came from an unforgettable story arc and characters — the Fallout games are anything but. Sure, there’s an overarching story created by Interplay Entertainment; however, it’s up to the player to fill in the gaps by creating their own journey.
Having nothing to fall back on as far as plot, the series solves the issue by introducing an aesthetically accurate world while staying accessible for non-gamers through interesting characters, great action and a narrative that keeps you guessing throughout the eight-episode season.

What is Fallout about?
For the uninitiated, the world of Fallout is set two hundred years after a nuclear apocalypse, where the gentle denizens of luxury fallout shelters are forced to return to the irradiated hellscape their ancestors left behind. What awaits them on the surface is a complex, weird and violent universe, full of wacky characters and dangerous creatures.
The Prime Video series follows three protagonists with varying motives and perspectives in the context of the fictional world.
Lucy (Ella Purnell) is an optimistic Vault-dweller with a can-do spirit. Her peaceful nature is tested; however, when she is forced to the wasteland to rescue her kidnapped father (Kyle MacLachlan). Then there’s Maximus (Aaron Moten), a young soldier who rises to the rank of squire in the militaristic faction called the Brotherhood of Steel. Finally, rounding out the three is The Ghoul (Walton Goggins), a morally ambiguous bounty hunter who has seen his own history of living in the post-nuclear world. The three characters collide when chasing an artifact that has the potential to change the power dynamic in the wasteland radically.

Fallout is set in the same world as the gaming franchise
The series is not an adaptation of a specific game, but a new story set in the same world. Set in Los Angeles, the series allows fans to see a new area of the wasteland never before seen, and it proves to be a true spectacle for the eyes.
Fans will also be delighted to see how faithfully the show adapts the instantly recognisable aesthetic. The production design is near perfect, adopting man-made sets that are filmed on location; and while the use of CGI is present, it is remarkable how seamlessly it is integrated into the world, never making it feel like you are watching actors on a sound stage.

Its excellence in production design is followed by its startingly appropriate choice of needle drops throughout the series. Filled to the brim with instantly recognisable 50’s love ballads, the attention to detail throughout each episode is hard to ignore, even if you have no prior knowledge of the source material.
While fans of the game should be delighted at how faithfully the series adapts, newcomers should be pleased to know that the series is instantly accessible through its strong action setpieces, compelling story that is full of twists and turns and likeable characters that you’ll find yourself rooting for in the chaos that is the Fallout wasteland.
Brittany Hockley has opened up about her fertility struggle on I’m A Celebrity Australia and openly spoken about her desire to have kids.
During a camp chat, Frankie Muniz told Brittany that being a dad was the best thing he’s ever done. Brittany explained that she and her partner Benjamin Siegrest have been thinking about starting a family together.
“I still don’t feel ready for kids, it’s almost too late and I still don’t feel ready,” Brittany confided in Frankie and Callum Hole.

Callum asked Brittany where she and Ben had spoken about having kids, and Brittany said he’d “happily have them now”.
The 36-year-old said that she and Ben are in a long-distance relationship, which is a roadblock when it comes to starting a family.
“Ben is the love of my life but he lives in Scotland, he plays for a football team over there called Celtics,” she explained. “His career is there, and my career is here and he can’t really do his career here, and I can’t really do mine there, so we’re in a super tough situation.”
“We want to be together in the same country, I don’t want to be doing it on the other side of the world. I would have liked to be married, but I don’t want to do it on my own, and that’s what I’m doing.”
“I’m literally saying ok cool I’ll go down the hardest thing I’ve ever done alone.”

Brittany fertility struggle
Despite the long-distance factor, Brittany explained that she’s already taken measures towards having kids with Ben.
“Different people’s fertility deteriorates at different rates,” Brittany said adding: “Mines not great.”
“I froze some eggs to be safe, then when Ben and I met and decided we wanted to be together with what we knew we thought we’d have a better chance at having kids if we froze some embryos.”
Brittany shared that their embryo journey was a success, and opened up about the legalities behind it.
“I’m very happy to say we got three embryos, so it’s a weight off my shoulder in a sense, but it’s also something I think about all the time,” she said.

“It is both of ours obviously, it’s made. So, you have to both sign to use it, and you have to sign off if one of you dies what you want if you die are you happy for them to use it without you.
“I said if I died he could use it, and he said if he died I could use it.”
The Life Uncut podcast host added that despite the success of their retrieval, she’s still not 100% sure if she wants to have kids.
“Nothing is a guarantee in life. It’s one of those things where I think I talk myself out of whether I want kids, and I think that’s because I know I might not be able to. I feel like I just need to do it deal with it and figure it out.”

Candice Warner became the second celebrity to be evicted from the I’m a Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here 2024 jungle; an experience she has called “life-changing”.
Speaking to Chattr post-elimination, the 39-year-old revealed how she would now be implementing huge “changes” when she returned home.
“There is a lot of time to reflect [in the jungle] and you do reflect on your life. How you could have changed things,” the mother of three revealed. “How you could have approached things differently. What kind of parent am I? What kind of parent do I want to become? Am I a good wife and the daughter that I want to be to my parents? I mean, there’s so much downtime in the jungle that these are all the things that you reflect on.”
Being away from her children Ivy, eight, Indi, six,and Isla, four and husband David, was also challenging; however, it gave the former ironwoman a chance to look at her life, particularly focusing on the “sacrifices” her husband had made for their family.

“I now know how he [David] feels when he’s on tour,” she said, adding that he “misses out” on a lot of things.
“I now have a better understanding of him and what he’s been through.”
She continued: “I can now understand how he really feels and now, I might work things differently or make him feel much more included. I really hope that I can walk away from this jungle and implement some great changes in my life and I’m really looking forward to getting back and just being a better person.”

In addition to this life-affirming revelation, Candice also realised the hold her phone had over her, given she didn’t miss it at all while in the jungle.
“It’s too easy now to just sit at home and then just flick through your phone rather than having those conversations [with family],” she said. “I’m definitely going to be mindful of how much time I spend just scrolling and being more present for my kids. I don’t need to be on my phone and need to really be engaging with them, and to find out more about them and encourage conversation.
“It’s about talking to one another and, I think we forgot how important it is just to talk.”

Even though she’s desperate to get home, Candice admitted she will miss life in the jungle, the friends she made and the fireside chats.
“The conversations were quite wild and sometimes confronting,” she said before calling her exit “bittersweet”.
“You do really want to stay in and you really want to do well for your charity.”

It’s time to dust off your school bags, grab your permanent marker and take notes, because the cast of Netflix’s Heartbreak High has just revealed what’s in store for their characters in season two.
Speaking to Chattr before the April 11 premiere, Ayesha Madon (Amerie), Thomas Weatherall (Malakai), Asher Yasbincek (Harper), James Majoos (Darren), Chloe Hayden (Quinni), Will Mcdonald (Ca$h), Bryn Chapman Parish (Spider) and Sherry-Lee Watson (Missy) spoke about their roles, giving us a sneak peek into what to expect.
“I think every character in the show, I feel like there’s a version or like aspects of a character you might recognise in people [in your life],” James said of the cast. “These characters are very much themselves and exist in a really heightened world that is so fun to play in for us.”
Scroll through to meet the season two cast of Heartbreak High and see what they have to reveal!
Ayesha Madon (Amerie)
“She’s on a journey,” Ayesha said of Amerie when questioned about where her character is in season two. “It’s a definite A to B to C to D to E to F journey.
“So, I would say that is a ‘how long is a piece of string’ question. But, what I think is so special is that I feel like we all grow up a lot in this season and I don’t think any character is stationary for more than 15 minutes.”
Thomas Weatherall (Malakai)
“I think leaving Malakai in season one, he’s — I don’t want to say sure of himself — but I think he’s as sure of himself as any 16-year-old is,” Thomas said.
“In classic Malakai fashion, he decides to do it all over again. I think he’s dealing with a lot of questions and curiosities and wants to value the experience of questioning some of them and exploring that, but at the same time, he is kind of just in this constant battle of right and wrong and which way to go. Whether or not he figures it out is another thing.”
Asher Yasbincek (Harper)
“I think it was really nice to work more with Ayesha this season and to have really lovely moments together,” Asher said. “We did a lot of behind-the-scenes stuff for season one that was like backstory but most of our content was fighting.
“So, it was really nice to have those characters come back together and actually really felt like that’s what they used to be like, even though we didn’t really film much of that.”
James Majoos (Darren)
“Darren is living in a state of desperation and confusion,” James revealed.
Chloé Hayden (Quinni)
“Quinni is in a place of discovery and learning that she’s worthy,” Chloé said.
Will Mcdonald (Ca$h)
“Danger. Just danger all the time and from all possible angles,” Will said of Ca$h.
Bryn Chapman Parish (Spider)
“At the start, Spider is feeling rejected and down-trodden by the school,” Bryn revealed of his character Spider. “He gets attention from a role model in his life — and he’s never got that attention shone on him — so that amplifies what he was already feeling about men’s rights and his place in the world. So, he wants to push that and assume a leadership position and it leads him down a path that isn’t good.”
Sherry-Lee Watson (Missy)
“I think you can expect to see a lot more of Missy in Season Two,” Sherry-Lee said. “To delve into her story and see how she interacts with other people, where her values and morals lie and just her love for sport and footy.”
