Over the past 10 years, some impressive names have gotten their hot little hands on the Gold Logie at the TV WEEK Logie Awards.
To celebrate the 64th TV WEEK Logie awards, which are taking place at The Star Sydney this weekend, we’ve popped together a list of everyone who’s won the Gold Logie over the past decade.
Fun fact: Tom Gleeson was technically the reigning Gold Logie winner for three years due to a hiatus in the awards thanks to a certain pandemic that you’re probably familiar with.

A quick scroll through the Made In Bondicast’s Instagram accounts will show fancy cars, five-star hotels and designer clothes galore.
If there’s one way to describe the life the Made In Bondi cast live on Instagram, it’s aspirational.
While it’s always fun to get a glimpse into how the one percent live, it’s equally as interesting to scroll back through the cast’s feed and find out who knew each other before the show began filming.
Scroll on to take a snoop at each of the Made in Bondi cast’s Instagram accounts.

The entertainment industry has been buzzing ever since the 2024 Gold Logie nominees were announced, and the winner may have already leaked.
According to TAB betting odds, there’s one frontrunner. At the time of writing, first-time Gold Logie nominee Larry Emdur has the best betting odds to take out the gong, with a return of $1.72.
Gold Logie Nominees. TV Week.
What are the current betting odds for the 2024 Gold Logie winner?
Larry is in the lead with his return of $1.72, the lowest return of any contestants, meaning that the most amount of money has been bet on him to win.
Not far behind him sits both Robert Irwin and Tony Armstrong with equal odds of $4.50. Andy Lee sits in fourth place with a return of $9.00.
You can find all of the betting odds below:
Larry Emdur – $1.72
Robert Irwin – $4.50
Tony Armstrong – $4.50
Andy Lee – $9.00
Asher Keddie – $17.00
Julia Morris – $17.00
Sonia Kruger – $21.00
How do betting odds work?
Betting odds are tied to dollar amounts, and those with lower odds are recognised as more likely to win, hence the lower return. For example, if someone bets $1 on Larry winning the Gold Logie and he does, they’d receive the amount that outcome is listed at, which is $1.72.
The return is based on how much someone bets, so if they bet $10.00 on the same thing, they’d receive $17.20. If they bet $100, they’d receive $172 and so on.
Robert and Julia are both nominated for Gold Logies. Image: Instagram.
Are betting odds always right?
Not necessarily, however, they do give a good indication of who may win. Plus, in many past reality TV shows, they’ve correctly picked the winner.
For example, Brent Draper had the best betting odds to win MasterChef 2023, and he took out the title. Plus, betting odds suggested thatLiz Parnov would win Survivor: Heros vs Villains, and she was, in fact, crowned the winner.
The Block 2024 is in full swing and while drama is truly front and centre of the season, there are some golden rules the Blockheads have to follow.
There are building regulations the contestants must abide by, but there are also some lesser-known by-laws that must be adhered to – and we’ve compiled them here all in one place!
Grant learning the rules. Image: Nine.
The rules of The Block
1. No help from any outside designer
Simply put, all designs including styling must come from the Blockheads themselves.
2. Contestants must do their own painting
Much to the horror of the contestants, they must do all of their own painting.
3. All trades must be paid the award rate
Duh! They’re not working for free!
Ricky writing down rules. Image: Nine.
4. All trades must be inducted
According to Safe Work Australia, “Any person who is to carry out construction work must complete general construction induction training to receive a general construction induction training card, commonly referred to as the ‘White Card’.”
In an interview with Domain, former foreman Keith Schleiger revealed that safety is paramount on The Block.
“We’ve got a very good record on The Block and we want to maintain it, so we’re very militant with our safety procedures,” he told the outlet.
5. No more than 50 per cent discount on any trade goods
It may be a TV show, but the Blockheads still have a budget.
The Block 2022 winners, Omar and Oz, learned a tough lesson when they scored a sweet deal on a baby grand piano and ended up paying the price.
6. No working ahead
After #CheatingGate2021, host Scotty Cam revealed the full schedule ahead of time to avoid any ahem, dodgy behaviour.
Scotty Cam and the infamous whiteboard. Nine
7. No power tools after tools down
This rule is another way to keep an even playing field among the Blockheads.
8. No power tools on Sunday or public holidays and no noisy building work after hours
Nobody likes to hear a power tool on a Sunday and all public holidays must be adhered to.
As for the “no noisy building work after hours”? The same rule applies. Phillip Island is a residential area.
9. Contestants must hire their own trades
This is to keep to the authenticity of the series. We’re really renovating here people!
The Block airs on Sunday at 7:00pm and continues Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday at 7:30pm on Channel 9 and9Now.
Australian Survivor winnerLiz Parnov and her partner, Daniel Bradshaw, have welcomed an adorable baby boy into the world. They announced the news in a sweet Instagram post.
Liz shared a carousel of black and white photos of her and Daniel with their newborn and simply captioned the pics with their son’s name, Texas Bradshaw.
The Australian Survivorstar also shared a heartwarming video from her hospital which showed the lead-up to the birth and her and Daniel meeting Texas for the first time.
In February Liz announced her pregnancy in a very creative Instagram post. She took to the platform to share a photo of her pregnant belly, whichDanielwas holding while sucking on a dummy and wearing what looks to be great nappy-esque swimming briefs.
She captioned the post, “Just left pound town 👶🏼,” and the whole thing was a nod to Drake’s audio show Table For One.
The comments section of Liz’s post was flooded with blue tick accounts sending their well wishes.
“Yaayyyy I love you Texas!!! 🩵”, wrote Shonee Bowtell, who was Liz’s Survivor bestie.
Their alliance member George Mladenov also sent his well wishes. “Congrats Liz and Dan 🥹🥹🥹,” he wrote.

“Congrats mamma!!!! 😍😍😍💙💙💙 sending healing energy your way! He’s perfect 👼🏼,” commented American Survivor Season 45 winner Dee Valladares.
Two-time American Survivor winner Sandra Diaz-Twine chimed in as well. “Congratulations Momma. May the Lord bless your beautiful bundle of joy and remember when baby naps you nap,” she wrote.
Foreman Keith is noticeably missing from The Block 2024, and he’s now revealed the reason why.
Keith first joined the show in 2011 and has been a part of The Block for a whopping 16 seasons. This season, however, he decided to step back so he could spend more time with his daughters Ebony, 14, and Jasmin, 11.
The Block 2024is located on Phillip Island, which is a two-hour drive from Melbourne city.
“I couldn’t see a way of seeing my children more than once a week or something like that,” Keith explained to9Entertainment.
Keith and his daughters. Image: Nine.
“I wouldn’t have been able to commute from Melbourne, I would have to live down there. That was always going to be very hard and it just didn’t feel it was the right thing to do at the time – I don’t really want to spend three months without them.”
Keith admitted that his decision wasn’t an easy one.
“I’m definitely going to miss it,” he said. “It’s basically been 20 per cent of my life.”
Keith. Image: Nine.
Who replaced Keith as The Block’s Foreman?
With Keith stepping back, his right-hand man Dan has taken up his Foreman position and is overseeing the contestant’s build on The Block Season 20.
“At the start, it was a bit odd as I’ve always had Keith next to me and we are good mates,” Dan told 9Entertainment of his new gig.
“But I think I slowly grew into it and got more comfortable in the role on my own. I will definitely miss him though.”
Dan and Keith. Image: Nine.
Will Keith come back to The Block?
The Block 2025’s location has been confirmed as the Victorian countryside town of Daylesford, which is approximately a two-hour drive from Melbourne.
The distance may be an obstacle for Keith, but he hasn’t confirmed yet whether he will be part of The Block 2025.
However, Keith fans needn’t worry because he will be appearing in a few episodes this season.
“You’ll see me there for about four or five days,” he confirmed to 9Entertainment.
We love a family man!
The Block airs on Sundays at 7pm and Mon – Wednesday at 7:30pm on Channel 9 and 9Now.
The Voice 2024 is set to premiere this August with Guy Sebastian, Kate Miller-Heidke, Adam Lambert and LeAnn Rimes leading the charge as coaches for the new season.
Apparently there’s one celebrity coach that got a little overexcited this season though, with fellow The Voice judge Kate labelling them as “trigger happy” with that big red button.
Adam Lambert was “trigger happy” on The Voice 2024
“Adam was super trigger happy,” Kate revealed in an exclusive interview with Chattr, explaining that he chewed up most of his singer positions within the first half of the blind auditions.
Image: The VoiceImage: The Voice
“He turned around for for so many people very early on in the filming and then he found himself with one spot left for, like the second half of the blinds,” Kate explained.
“He got a bit overexcited.”
On The Voice, four judges have traditionally gotten to choose 12 singers each. If they turn around for a contestant who chooses to be on their team in return, it means that one of their 12 positions have been filled.
What type of artists did Kate Miller-Heidke press the buzzer for?
Kate explained to Chattr that she turned around for moments that really struck her.
“You’re just listening to hear that one magic moment,” Kate explained to Chattr. “It’s such a cliche, but that magic moment in a song that gives you goosebumps or surprises you in some way.”
Image: The Voice
“Sometimes it’s really it can be hard to tell because a lot of people are struggling with nerves. It’s a deeply nerve-wracking experience to get up on that stage and you’re just waiting to hear that that kernel of something amazing.”
Kate met Adam and LeAnn for the first time on The Voice 2024
Kate revealed to Chattr that it was her first time meeting both LeAnn and Adam, the latter of which became one of her “favourite” people.
“They were both so lovely,” Kate explained of meeting Adam and LeAnn for the first time on The Voice.
“Leanne shot to superstardom when she was only 12 years old,” Kate recalled.
Image: Supplied.
“She’s lived her entire life as a very famous person, but she’s still an artist to her core. She still takes the art and craft of singing really seriously and she’s so good at what she does.”
“And Adam, he’s lightning in a bottle. He’s just brilliant. He and I were sitting next to each other for the whole season, so we got to hang out and chat a lot.
“He is just one of my favourite people. He’s so funny and irreverent and kooky. He’s brilliant.”
Why did this just become the friendship we never knew we needed? Cute as hell.
The Voice airs on 7 and 7Plus from Monday, August 19.
Farmer Wants a Wife (FWAW) 2024’s Sarah Carey announced her break up with Farmer Joe Bobbins in early August, and now she’s followed it up with a shady break-up song.
The couple met on season FWAW Season 13 and Sarah and Joe confirmed that they were still together at the reunion, which was recorded one month after filming wrapped. Sarah moved to Joe’s farm shortly after.
However, Sarah has revealed in an Instagram post that the couple recently made the decision to split.
Sarah and Joe. Image: Seven.
“I was really hoping to not have to do this as I’m a very private person, but it’s incredibly hard to heal whilst constantly receiving questions & comments about the status of my relationship,” she began the announcement.
Sarah added that she and Joe broke up “a few weeks ago”, and opened up about the isolation of still being on Joe’s farm.
Sarah’s IG story. Image: Instagram.
“This has been one of the hardest times of my life so I want to sincerely thank those who have sent kind messages checking in on me & for welcoming me into this community.
“It’s been difficult without my friends & family around me but the kindness that has been shown is something I’ll never forget.”
The FWAW contestant asked fans to respect her privacy while she processed the breakup.
“I understand there may be alot of questions regarding why, but at this time I’m not ready to talk about that as I’m still processing the information myself,” she said.
Sarah has since deleted all photos of Joe from her Instagram account.
Sarah and Joe on Farmer Wants A Wife. Image: Seven.
What has Farmer Wants A Wife’s Joe said about his split with Sarah?
“The only comment I’ll make is you can’t force love,” Joe told Yahoo Lifestyle. Oh dear.
What song did Sarah release and is it about Farmer Joe?
On August 11, Sarah took to Instagram to share a new song she’d written.
“When life gives you lemons make lemonade, or a song,” she captioned the post, noting that the activity felt like therapy.
The song was a twist on Stick Season by Noah Kazan and Sara Phillips but with Sarah’s own lyrics.
The lyrics call the man who the song is about a “dick” and say that she “should’ve run”.
“It’s all your fault, but you still like to play the victim,” one line says.
“You proved me wrong, and everybody else right, as I sat in your hometown a million miles from mine,” says another.
Sarah’s home town of Bombala is 1,300 km from Joe’s farm in Biddaddaba. Just saying.
While Sarah hasn’t specifically said that the song is about Joe, the timing seems *very* convenient.
Scott Cam is best known for heading up The Block since 2010, but the TV personality actually got his start 25 years ago while spending the afternoon in a pub.
Scott – who’s affectionately known as Scotty Cam on The Block– was scouted to do a screen test for his first show Backyard Blitz.
“I went to the pub every afternoon, as I told my wife ‘to clear the dust away’ but it was also a way to get work from other trades,” he said during an appearance on Triple M’s Mick & MG.

“There was a producer in there with his girlfriend and he saw me yapping away and I had the ute and the dog, and he said, ‘Would you do a screen test – I need a carpenter for a shoot’ and I said, ‘nah mate that’s not my go’.”
However, the producer was convinced that Scott was the man for the job, and got his phone number which was painted on the side of his ute.
“He called me and asked me again the next day. I knocked him back, but my wife said, ‘You should do that, it would be something different’.”
“I’ve since been in the biz for 25 years.”
Scott and his co-host Shelley Craft. Image: Instagram.
Scotty Cam’s career
Scott’s first TV gig was in 2000 as the resident builder/carpenter on Backyard Blitz. He stayed in the role until the show got cancelled in 2005.
After that, he appeared on Renovation Rescue from 2004 – 2006. Then, from 2008 – 2010 he was on Domestic Blitz, which co-hosted alongside his now The Block colleague Shelley Craft.
In 2010 Scott took on the host role on The Block, and he’s been there ever since.
The Block airs on Sundays at 7pm and Mon – Wednesday at 7:30pm on Channel 9 and 9Now.
Hearts around the nation were collectively broken when Felicity (Jacqui Purvis) collapsed during the Home and Awayepisode that aired on August 12.
With upcoming promos for the soap making it clear that Felicity won’t survive, fans have been left wondering why such a popular character was killed off.
It turns out, the reason for Felicity leaving Home and Awayis fortunately a lot less grim than her character’s demise.
Felicity in the hospital bed. Image: Seven.
Why did Jacqui Purvis leave Home and Away?
It was actually Jacqui’s decision to call time on her Home and Away journey.
The Australian actor told Yahoo Lifestyle that she’s looking to follow in the footsteps of other Home and Away alum – like Chris Hemsworth and Health Ledger – who went on to become movie stars.
“I’ve had an incredible time on the show. Some of the best years of my life. However, I knew I wanted an international career, so, I had to make the decision to leave and take the plunge,” she told the publication.
Jacqui acknowledged the opportunity the soap gave her but said it was time for her to take a new direction.
“I owe so much to the show, [and] because of it, I feel confident and ready to take on the international stage. I’m so grateful to the fans for supporting me through my years on the show.”

Home and Away fans react to Jacqui’s choice to leave
Fans grew suspicious that Jacqui was leaving the soap after Back to the Bay reported that she’d been missing from the set since March.
When it was confirmed that Felicity would be killed off, fans took to a Facebook group to share their sadness.
“When Jacqui first started on Home and Away, I just didn’t like her (not that I knew her as a person) or her character, but as time went on I thought, ‘OMG what an incredible actress, brilliant,'” one wrote.
“I really, really like her now and I’m terribly sad to see her go. I wish Jacqui all the best for her future.”
Felicity when she first collapsed. Image: Seven.
Others believe that Jacqui made the best choice to chase an international career.
“If anyone has a chance of making it in Hollywood she has – great actress on to bigger things,” one person wrote.
“Will miss her on Home and Away but am excited to see where what heights she goes to in her acting career. Good luck Jacqui,” another penned.
“Hope she makes it big in Hollywood if she goes overseas. She’s a brilliant actress,” a third commented.
Now that Felicity’s departure is official, we’re hoping Jacqui drops a blockbuster announcement any day now.
Home and Away airs Monday – Thursday at 7:30pm on Channel 7 and 7Plus.
Like clockwork, Vernon took to social media to share his side of the story while also insinuating that Ally used him name to get on FBoy Island Australia Season 2.
Chattr spoke to Ally following Vernon’s social media video and she made it very clear that Vernon’s involvement in FBoy Island Season 1 has nothing to do with her being cast in Season 2.
There’s a bit to unpack from the she-said-he-said situation so keep reading for the full rundown.
Ally Woodfall on FBoy Island Season 2. Image: BINGE.
Who is Vernon Lyon?
Vernon was in FBoy IslandSeason 1 and made it to Molly O’Halloran‘s final two alongside winner Nick Brown.
During the finale episode, Vernon’s ex Brogen showed up and ultimately proved he was an FBoy.
Who is Ally Woodfall?
Ally is one of FBoy Island Season 2‘s leading ladies alongside Nicole Mitrov and Krystal Thomas.
During the FBoy Island Season 2 premiere episode, Ally claimed that Vernon went on a three-day bender and ghosted her. There was also a joke made about Vernon’s penis size to which she replied “No comment”.
What did Vernon Lyon say about ex Ally Woodfall?
Vernon took to Instagram Reels the day after the FBoy island Season 2 premiere episode aired.
“The reason I went on this bender was [because] I found out she [Ally] was still on Tinder messaging dudes,” Vernon claimed in the video.
Image: Instagram @__l__y__o__n__
He then went on to say that she called him that night but he wouldn’t answer.
“I ended up sending her the address [of where the bender was happening]. She came over. I didn’t want her there but I knew that it was only going to end up bad if I don’t do it,” Vernon claimed.
“She got pissed off that I wasn’t talking to her so she slammed me phone [sic] out of my hands and pushed me in the face, and slammed the door on the way out,” he continued.
He then claimed that they spoke on the phone the next day and that he “never ghosted her”.
Why’d he keep the receipts? “Messages are the best things when it comes to stuff like this,” he said. Do you think it’s his first rodeo?
Vernon’s thoughts on the comments made about his penis
Vernon also took the opportunity to express that he thinks there is a double standard with the show talking about his dick size considering Caleb Duncan copped shit for what he said about Molly’s vagina.
“What is the difference between Molly having a ‘shit pussy’ and them saying I had a small dick?” he asked in the five-minute reel.
He then went on to say that people have seen his dick and that he has “nothing to be worried about”.
Caleb reappeared at the end of the first FBoy Island Season 2 episode, indicating that he’d be back in some way for 2024. In the following episode, it was announced that he would be a bartender on the show.

Something tells me this won’t be the last we’ll be hearing of Vernon this season either.
How Vernon feels about Ally being on FBoy Island Season 2
“Good for her — she used my name to get on the show,” Vernon said about Ally landing a role as one of FBoy Island Season 2‘s leading ladies.
“It may have been the only was she could’ve got on the show,” he continued, right before he said that he didn’t want to cause any arguments.
Hmmm.
Vernon said that he “kinda guessed” he would be part of this FBoy Island season without actually being on it. So humble!
What did Ally say about how she got onto FBoy Island Season 2?
In an exclusive interview with Chattr, Ally revealed that she was cast through social media like Krystal and Nicole.
The 2024 Logies are just days away and Evelyn Ellis is the only former MAFS participant who’s confirmed to be attending the event.
However, Evelyn won’t be at the Logies as a guest, instead she’ll be working as 9Honey’s 2024 Logies red carpet reporter.
“This is my Olympics,” Evelyn told 9Entertainment of the role.
“There is no place like the Logies. The energy is palpable and it’s just a room of creative people coming together to celebrate their talents and catch up and have a good time.”
Evelyn on MAFS. Image: Nine.
Are any other MAFS cast members going to the Logies?
In recent years, there have been a number MAFS participants invited to the prestigious awards event.
Tahnee and Ollie before the 2023 Logies. Image: Instagram.
However, not a single MAFS 2024 alum has confirmed that they will be attending. In fact, one unnamed cast member even told Pedestrian that “nobody is invited this year”.
“It would have been fun, but I don’t really mind,” they added.
Though none of this year’s cast has been confirmed to attend, we wouldn’t be surprised if breakout star Lucinda Light or golden couple Ridge Barredo and Jade Pywell strut down the red carpet.

Evelyn Ellis’ Logies red carpet outfit

Hunted Australia’s new Chief Reece Dewar declared in the premiere episode that “no fugitive is making it to extraction”.
Reece’s first victim was father and daughter pair Bobby and Tanisha who were captured in a Victorian brewery during the first episode ofHunted Australia 2024.
However, during a post-elimination interview with Chattr, Bobby said that he doesn’t believe that Reece’s statement about the Fugitives being picked off one by one will ring true.
“I think a Fugitive will win,” he said. “They are phenomenal, the fellow fugitives. They were extremely bright and very well prepared.”
In order for the Hunters to win they will have to catch every Fugitive within 20 days and ensure that none of the Hunted cast make it to the extraction point.

Bobby believes Reece has something to prove
Bobby told Chattr that he thinks Reece, who was the deputy of operations in previous seasons, is making big threats about the Hunters’ ability to catch all the Fugitives.
“I know he’s the new chief,” he said. “He has to set the tone, because he stepped into the big boots, and he’s got to make his point now and he has to show his colleagues that he’s the big cheese in charge.”
Bobby added that he thinks Reece will “wear a bit of an egg on his face” when a Fugitive makes it to the extraction point and outsmart the Hunters.
“I’m on the side of fellow Fugitives, not of the Hunters. I want to prove him wrong,” he said.

Bobby thinks the increased prize money has raised the stakes
In the past, the Fugitives who’ve made it to the Extraction Point have shared $100,000 in prize money.
However, in Hunted Season 3, the Fugitives were tasked with robbing a bank which could potentially earn them up to a million dollars. They got away with $927,000, which meant they received $103,000 per team.
The teams that make it to the extraction point get to keep their prize money, meaning that they could walk away with a hell of a lot more than previous seasons.
“I think Season 1 and Season 2 contestants are going to be really pissed,” Bobby laughed of the increased prize pot. “Season 3 has just gone through the roof.”
“You’re now on the run with a handle of a lot more money, and it’s a life-changing money for some people,” he added.
Hunted airs Monday and Tuesday at 7:30pm on Channel 10 and 10Play.

After an almost immaculate run, Lisa McCune was crowned the winner of Dancing With The Stars 2024 on August 12 – however, she almost didn’t take part in the season.
Lisa and her partner Ian Waite narrowly beat outSamantha Jade and Gustavo Viglio. The actress received the Mirror Ball Trophy and $20,000 to donate to her charities of choice: the RCD Foundation and the Harrison Riedel Foundation.

“What’s been the most incredible part has been Ian Waite and how thrilled he has been for the win because it’s his first,” Lisa gushed in a winner’s interview with Chattr.
“I’m so thrilled to be part of that. That’s been an absolute highlight for me,” she added.
Lisa McCune reveals her one condition for joining DWTS
Lisa told Chattr that she was initially nervous about joining Dancing With The Stars.
“My agent rang me about it towards the end of the year [in 2023],” she explained. “My first thought was, ‘Oh no, I don’t want to do it,’ and then she talked me through one of her other clients who had done it and had such a great time.”
The Gold Logie winner said that once she decided she was interested in taking part in the 2024 season, she told the series producer that she had a specific requirement before saying yes.

“I got on the phone to Peter Baker, who’s the series producer, who’s just a beautiful man,” she said.
“He’s been doing it a long time. I said, ‘Peter, the only thing if I do this is that I would have somebody [a professional dancer partner] who’s around my age, who physically I feel like I can be really free with,’ and they came up with Ian, and I was so thrilled.”
“Our birthdays are a week apart. He’s from the other side of the world, but he’s been a really experienced dancer. He is a really technical dancer, so I was really excited about the challenge.”

Lisa McCune said she’ll be using her new dance moves at the Logies
Dancing With The Starsmay be wrapped for 2024, but Lisa said she’ll be using her newfound dance moves as much as she possibly can.
“I’m going to be dancing everywhere. I’m going to I’m going to be dancing at Logies,” she laughed. “I can’t wait for next week. I’m taking my daughter for the first time.”
We’ve got our fingers crossed Lisa will be doing that dance during the live Logie Award broadcast!
