Hubbl is going to make all your streaming dreams come true — so, here’s everything you need to know

With so many different streaming platforms available these days, it can be confusing to know what show is on which app, which is exactly where Foxtel’s Hubbl comes in.

It effectively combines multiple streaming giants into one platform, which means you can watch Netflix’s Drive to Survive and Apple TV’s Ted Lasso, without so much as changing apps.

“Hubbl is designed to fuse the best local and global content, including premium entertainment and sports, video on demand and live channels into a single experience,” said Patrick Delany, CEO of Hubbl.

Ted Lasso. Apple TV+.

What streaming platforms will be available on Hubbl?

Netflix, Disney+, Prime Video, video-sharing platform YouTube, Apple TV+ and Paramount+ have all signed on to be part of Hubbl.  Local streaming apps Kayo Sports, Stan, BINGE, Optus Sport and Flash will also be available.

Stan, Optus Sport and Paramount+ will join the Hubbl platform soon after launch.

On top of that, users will be able to access free-to-air platforms ABC iview and ABC Kids, SBS On Demand, 7plus, 9Now and 10 Play.

Foxtel have also released a LifeStyle channel which can be accessed through Hubbl.

How do you use Hubbl?

There will be two variations of the super handy Hubble. One of them is a small black box that will plug into compatible TVs.

The more advanced option is the Hubble Glass, which is a TV based on the Hubbl operating system. It will come with a built-in sound bar that only requires an internet connection and a power cord, no other wires.

Hubbl. Foxtel.

When does Hubbl come out?

We don’t have an exact release date yet, however, Foxtel is expected to launch the new innovation in the coming months, so stay tuned!

MAFS 2024: Meet Ash, the man marrying Home and Away’s Madeleine

Thirty-three-year-old Victorian Ash Galanti is paired with the ever-enthusiastic Madeleine Jevic on MAFS, but who is he?

According to his 9Now bio, Ash is a sensitive and caring guy who is often misjudged by women because of his tattoos.

He is tired of attracting women who walk all over him and “is looking for an authentic partner who is willing to accept him fully and have the relationship last beyond the initial love-bomb phase”.

According to his LinkedIn bio, Ash is a Customer Development Manager for a pest control company. He “Initiates project management for new client implementation and directs new sales initiatives. Manage large client relationships.”

Ash and his brother

Ash sadly lost his brother in 2020. In July 2022, he shared a photo with his brother to honour his birthday.

“Happy early Birthday brother. Today we celebrated for you. To say things have been hard since you left is an understatement,” the caption began.

“Grief and loss are complex, multifaceted, and multilayered. It’s hard to comprehend sometimes. I’m trying to keep my kindness & love. Some days are harder than others. It’s hard when this world can be so cruel, so hostile. I’m trying to handle things down here.

“Looking after mum, making sure the family stays intact. It’s a constant struggle. We are all trying to be better for you. I’m trying to love harder for you. If I could just have one more day with you, but I know that’s not reality. Happy Birthday, brother. Where ever you are just know you are loved.”

Ash and his brother. Instagram.

Ash lived in Thailand

Ash previously lived in Thailand and practised a lot of Muay Thai. During that time he spent time in Pai, which is on the border of Burma, as well as Phuket and Bangkok.

“Where I lived in Pai, Thailand was ghetto as f**k. Snakes, spiders & rats were a daily occurrence. I loved it. Living in straight up jungle.” he wrote in an Instagram post.

“It’s funny how I have gotten older material things mean shit to me. When I was in my early 20s I would stress over the stupidest things. Staying in a nice hotel, nothing was good enough I would find something to complain about and completely fuck it. Now I could sleep on a floor,” he continued.

Interview: Charles on being “collateral” for the most bizarre Australian Survivor tribal ever

Last night’s Australia Survivor tribal was one for the history books, as a challenge at the vote saw only three of the nine remaining Titans allowed to vote.

Heading into tribal, Kirby, Charles, Valeria, Kelli, Winna and Scott were in a strong alliance, and they had their eyes on Aileen and Feras to vote off. The only other castaway was Raymond, who was also teamed up with the minority alliance.

Kirby and Raymond. Survivor. Ten.

Things appeared to be straightforward enough, but that all changed when Jonathan LaPaglia told the tribemates that there was a (huge!) twist. Basically, all of the Titans would compete in a challenge, and only the three who finished it first would be allowed to vote, and the others would be vulnerable.

Kirby, Feras and Alieen secured their safety by winning the challenge, and the alliance’s power shifted to the minority. A split vote and the use of an idol from Winna resulted in Charles being sent home.

How does Charles feel about being sent home after the huge twist?

During a post-elimination interview with Chattr, Charles spoke about how he felt being the “collateral” damage that was sent home, despite forging a strong alliance and previously holding the power.

“It doesn’t feel great,” he said. “To be honest, I went into that tribal in a very strong position.”

“I spent a lot of time and effort building really strong social connections, and making social connections on my new tribe, we worked really hard to get in the position that we were in.

Charles was originally part of the Titans tribe, but after a shuffle up, his new tribe included only included two other OG Titans; Valeria, and Winna, leaving them in the minority. However, the trio built strong ties with Kelli, Kirby, and Scott, which gave them the power. Charles said the hard work put into these relationships didn’t pay off.

“I had some really, really tight connections with people on the new Titans tribe and a new type of rebels tribe as well. So going into merge, I thought that I was going to be in a really good spot.

“You do have to play the long game, and to have my long game cut short was pretty disappointing, to be completely honest. I’ll be thinking about that twist for a while to come.”

Does Charles think the challenge was created to keep Aileen and Feras?

It’s plain to see that Feras and Aileen are two of the Main Characters on Australian Survivor 2024, with both receiving a lot of screen time.

Australian Survivor. Ten.

The surprise twist shocked social media users, with many of them concluding that it was included in order to save both Feras and Aileen. When Charles was asked whether he believed that was the case, he said he wouldn’t “rule it out”.

“The survivor Gods work in mysterious ways. I don’t have any insight into how they work, or whether they have preferences one way or the other. I’d like to think that it wasn’t the case, but I can’t rule it out.”

Stream Survivor Australia 2024 Sundays – Tuesdays at 7:30pm on Channel 10 and 10Play.

Sara v Cass and all the other bombshells from the second MAFS Commitment Ceremony

The second Commitment Ceremony centred around Sara and Tim, (probably) just how the firey bride would have liked it too.

While some of the sweetest love stories, like Eden and Jayden and even Cassandra and Tristan were practically fast-forward through, we did get a healthy dose of drama.

So, let’s dive straight into the biggest bombshells of the night, shall we?

Ben and Ellie

Ellie revealed that Ben tried to drop out of the experiment when the cameras weren’t rolling. “Ben told me that I wasn’t his match and I was absolutely horrified,” she explained to the experts.

However, apparently, Ben changed his mind and decided that he wanted to have kids with Ellie. Soooo, they’re here for another week.

MAFS. Nine.

Ellie wrote: Stay.

Ben wrote: Stay (I do want kids in the future).

Verdict: They’re staying.

Tori and Jack

It was round two of Timothy vs Tori and Jack, which feels like deja vu from the last Commitment Ceremony.

Tori and Jack admitted that they still haven’t slept together, and Timothy basically said that their lack of intimacy reflects that their relationship isn’t in a good place. Jack tried to Alpha Timothy by asking him if he regretted his negative comments about their relationship, but Timothy didn’t take the bait and said he stood by his views.

MAFS. Nine.

Tori wrote: Stay.

Jack wrote: Stay.

Verdict: They’re staying.

Lucinda and Timothy

As John Aiken put it, Lucinda had “lost a little bit of her spark” when she sat down with the experts.

She was not impressed that Timothy had been involved with some of the drama at the Dinner Party that took part the previous evening.

Timothy said that he had “walls up everywhere”. He called himself a “disaster”. However, he took ownership of his behaviour and said that he would work on opening up more to Lucinda.

Lucinda and Timothy

Lucinda wrote: Stay.

Timothy wrote: Stay.

Verdict: They’re staying.

Cassandra and Tristan

Cassandra and Tristan’s segment was, erm, extremely fast? But in their blink-and-you’ll-miss-it section of air time, Tristan said he loved Cassandra. Aww!

MAFS. Nine.

Cassandra wrote: Stay.

Tristan wrote: Stay.

Verdict: They’re staying.

Eden and Jayden

Speaking of love, Jayden shared that he’s “head over heels” for his bride. “He tells me every day,” Eden beamed.

Like Cassandra and Tristan, the happy couple got less than a minute of screen time on the couch, which is odd for a show about finding love. However, it leads us to believe producers are saving screen time for a showdown between Sara and Tim.

MAFS. Nine.

Eden wrote: Stay.

Jayden wrote: Stay.

Verdict: They’re staying.

Andrea and Richard

Once again Richard took his time on the couch to show-off about his sexual relationship with Andrea, which is.. a lot.

“We did intimacy week the week before Intimacy Week,” he announced coyly. Before adding “We gazed, we hugged, we [bleeped], we [bleeped].”

We’re assuming the redacted words were sucked and f**ked. Cool. Cool cool cool.

MAFS. Nine.

Andrea wrote: Stay.

Richard wrote: Stay.

Verdict: They’re staying.

Lauren and Jonathan

Jonathan looked devastated when he sat down on the couch. Lauren explained that she had been cold to Jonathan, and didn’t like the way she’s been acting.

After talking with the experts, Lauren came to the conclusion that she was self-sabotaging and scared of “being rejected”.

Lauren wrote: Stay.

Jonathan wrote: Stay.

Verdict: They’re staying.

Sara and Tim

Ahh, finally it’s time for the main event! To kick it off, Sara apologised for “the scene” that was caused at the Dinner Party. But, her apology didn’t extend to Tim.

Of course, Mel picked up on this and questioned why she didn’t apologise to her hubby Tim. “He yelled at me,” she exclaimed with a shocked grin.

Mel wasn’t happy and told Sara that her behaviour was “really aggressive” and that the experts were “in shock watching her”. YASSS Mel.

Unsurprisingly Sara absolutely hated the criticism and got defensive, but that wasn’t even the juciest moment.

Sweet angel Cassandra piped up and asked Tim if he was afraid of Sara, which ticked Sara off even more.

“Cass I’m sorry but you haven’t seen us in a relationship in the privacy of our own home,” Sara spat back with a clap.

Regardless of their massive issues, Sara and Tim aren’t going anywhere.

MAFS’ Tim responds to claims that he was cheating on Sara

MAFS groom Tim Calwell has slammed claims that he was cheating on Sara Mesa with a Brazillian woman.

The allegations first came about in an interview with Sara on The Kyle & Jackie O Show when Kyle told the reality star that he’d heard that Tim had been unfaithful.

“I don’t know if this is true, but multiple people I know up in Queensland have said that this Tim has been rooting this Brazilian the entire time, all through the MAFS, all through the filming,” Kyle said.

Sara then seemed to insinuate that Tim will be involved in a cheating scandal when Kyle asked her if she was part of a rumoured upcoming “affair storyline”.

“No, well, I mean,” she fumbled. “I’m definitely not banging anyone else on the show. Something weird’s happening for sure, there’s a cheating scandal.”

MAFS. Nine.

What did Tim say about the cheating claims?

Tim has vehemently denied Kyle’s claims that he cheated on Sara while they were filming Married At First Sight.

“No, I wasn’t seeing anyone through the experiment. I was literally locked in, dialled in, trying to make our relationship work,” he told Daily Mail Australia.

“I don’t know why, if she’s bringing that up… she’s trying to throw heat on my end to try and distract, maybe, from whatever going on in her ballpark.”

Tim says his relationship with Sara is toxic

Although Tim and Sara got off to a good start at their wedding ceremony, things have been going rapidly downhill ever since.

MAFS. Nine.

They hit their first speed bump after Tim told Sara to “relax” on their honeymoon because she didn’t like the tequila they were served. Perhaps their biggest blow-up to date was related to Sara bailing on three dates Tim had organised, which led to them blowing up at each other at the second Dinner Party.

“It was definitely very up and down. Almost toxic at this point, I don’t know,’ he said.  “I think her bailing on the dates was more of a catalyst for the other things that were going on behind the scenes,” he told Daily Mail Australia.

“I was getting really frustrated by being spoken over and talked down to,” he added. “My feelings and my opinions were just being thrown back in my face and it just felt like nothing I had to say was valid.”

MAFS 2024: Meet Madeleine Jevic, the Home and Away actress getting married on TV

Every year there’s at least one MAFS participant who’s *exposed* as an amateur actor. However, Married At First Sight will see an actual established Australian actress among the ranks this year.

Madeleine Jevic is getting married off on season 11 of MAFS and you’ll probably already recognise her from a number of popular Australian reality TV shows.

Madeleine played Amber Simmons on Home and Away from 2020 until 2021 and appeared in 55 episodes. Amber was Dean’s (played by Patrick O’Connor) fiery baby mama.

Maddy on Home and Away
Madeleine on Home and Away. Seven.

She also played Nurse Lee Radcliffe on Wentworth for 22 episodes from 2016 until 2018 and Brianna Wheeler in Upper Middle Bogan for 24 eps from 2013-2016.

Wentworth. Foxtel.

As well as those two leading roles, Jevic had a brief stint on Offspring in 2013 and appeared on True Story with Hamish and Andy in 2017.

What is Madeleine’s job?

As well as working as an actress, Madeleine is also a psychic medium. According to her 9Now bio, the bride says her profession as a psychic has “kept her isolated and single and she is hoping to restore the balance in her life”.

MadeleineJevic is friends with another famous reality TV star

Madeleine counts Sam Frost – who was the lead in The Bachelorette Australia season one – as a close friend. The two women bonded when they worked together on Home and Away, and posted a number of TikTok videos together at the time.

In an interview with New Idea in 2020, Jevic said that Frost made her feel very welcome on the Summer Bay set.

“We’re all like a big family. Sam Frost (who played Jasmine) is beautiful – she’s one of the kindest human beings I’ve ever met, and has made my experience of joining the show so easy,” she said.

And Sarah Roberts (who played Willow) is beautiful, too. Honestly, everyone is divine and we have drinks sometimes and chat. We’re all very close.”

MAFS 2024: Meet Stephen, the new MAFS groom who’s no stranger to reality TV

Stephen Stewart is joining MAFS 2024 as a newcomer, and he may have just gotten some tips from his reality TV pals.

In one of Stephen’s most recent Instagram posts, he poses alongside Robert Harneiss and Jake Rozario with some big old drinks, who you may recognise as the winners of Hunted 2022.

Stephen is one of the latecomers to the experiment and is entering alongside Madeleine, Jade, Ash and Ridge.

What’s Stephen’s background?

Stephen has an Italian background, has an identical twin and is one of 8 children. According to his Channel 9 bio, he considers himself the “golden child” and places high importance on his relationship with his mum and stepdad.

Stephen and his twin. Instagram.

The Perth-based 26-year-old owns a hair salon called Stephen Robert Stewart where he works as a hairdresser for females.

Though based in Perth, Stephen loves to travel and regularly shares photos of himself doing just that on Instagram.

Stephen will be on MAFS 2024

What is Stephen looking for?

Stephen is looking for a “serious and monogamous relationship”. He wants a “man who is family orientated with a good sense of humour and killer smile”, which he says is hard to find with Perth’s small dating pool.

Like many of the MAFS brides and grooms, Stephen was deeply hurt after being cheated on in a past relationship and has been single for four years.

All hell hath broken loose between Sara and Tim on MAFS, so does she have something to hide?

Well, well, well. Drama at a Married at First Sight dinner party? Well, I never… especially given it involved Sara, Tim and… *checks notes* our angel, Cassandra! But with all this yelling and screaming, surely Sara has something to hide…

But before we go snooping, here’s a fun lil’ recap to get you up to speed in case you missed the chaos during the Wednesday, February 14 ep!

The Dinner Party Explosion

After admitting that she and her hubby Tristan were working through a helluva lot during their ~jOurNEy~ together, Cassandra turned the tables on Sara and asked Why TF she had cancelled on not one, not two but THREE DATES with Tim.

“Sara, I just want to ask you, because he just said he’s planned three dates with you,” Cassandra began. “We’ve left everything behind to be here for this experiment. Literally blocked out this time to find a husband, and you’ve cancelled on three dates?!

Go off, Cassandra! MAFS. Nine
Go off, Cassandra! MAFS. Nine

“Your purpose and priorities are your husband and to be in it and to try and make it work.” SLOW CLAPS, BABE. SLOW CLAPS.

To this, Sara revealed she was “in a bad place” and that her relo with Tim “was in a bad place”, so basically what she is saying is that her marriage is the bad place…and that Tim was the worst.

Perplexed, Tim joins the conversation, reiterating that he had organised said dates and wasn’t the worst; however, Sara WOULD. NOT. LET. HIM. SPEAK. and he ends up yelling at her.

Tim is angry. MAFS, Nine
Tim is angry. MAFS, Nine

Sara is then mad that he’s mad that she’s mad and then got so mad he yelled at her… before she got even more mad and stormed off.

“DoN’T yOu DarE YelL at Me, YoU PRiCk,” she screamed. So cute!

When speaking with the other Brides who had followed her, Sara admitted that she couldn’t handle spending 24/7 with her Groom — even though that is the literal experiment. Because of this, she had to have weekends off to spend time with her “girlfriends”.

Look, we’re not saying that she’s fabricating her story, but we’re not not saying it either, because we’re not convinced. Like at all.

Reasons why we’re a little suss on Sara

Sara wouldn’t show Tim her phone during confessions week

During Confessions Week, Sara refused to show Tim her phone causing his fear of being cheated on to rear its debilitating head.

While she was adamant there was nothing to hide, it may have something to do with the fact that she was messaging ex-MAFS groom Ollie Skelton.

The TL;DR of it all is that Tahnee mentioned in an interview that Ollie had been messaging Sara while she was on the show, but he didn’t tell his ex what they were talking about. Ollie took to his own Instagram to defend himself and included a single screenshot of a text between himself and Sara.

The 2024 MAFS bride she has since spoken about the reason she didn’t want to hand over her phone on 9Now.

“You’ve got to remember, we are strangers like at this point we’ve only known each other for a week,” Sara told the outlet, once again detailing the entire premise of this show.

“Phones are like a diary for a lot of people and I just didn’t know how far he was going to look into it. I feel like it’s a very private thing.” Hmmm….

The February 18 Commitment Ceremony teaser is v suss

During the teaser for the February 18 Commitment Ceremony, expert Mel Schilling calls Sara out for her behaviour.

“The yelling, the pointing..,” she says before asking the Bride a very tough question.

“What’s the genuine reason you’ve cancelled on him three times,” Mel asks her, to which Sara replies… “So…”.

The Ex- Factor

Let’s not forget how Sara admitted during their wedding that she had been hung up on her ex-boyfriend for years… i.e their on-again-off-again relo which went from lovers, to FWB to haters and beyond, over and over again…

Could she be back in the cycle?!

Hmmm.

Hmmm, indeed….

Ollie and Tahnee take swipes at each other over his secret messages to MAFS bride Sara

Exes Ollie Skelton and Tahnee Cook are engaged in a bitter online feud because he was messaging 2024 MAFS bride Sara Mesa, and things are, well, messy.

The messy love triangle was brought to the public’s attention when Tahnee revealed that Sara had been messaging Ollie for MAFS advice.

“I think she had reached out after listening to his podcast, you know, a couple people reach out asking for advice and stuff. He didn’t show me the messages which is interesting but anyway we’ll leave that!” She told Yahoo Lifestyle Australia.

Tahnee and Ollie were matched on MAFS 2023, and were one of two couples that continued to date after the show wrapped. However, they split in December 2023 after sixteen months together.

Ollie’s response to Tahnee’s comment

Ollie was clearly triggered by Tahnee’s comment about his messages to Sara, as he took to Instagram with a now-deleted story to call her out.

“Please stop doing this Tahnee,” he wrote above a screenshot of a message he sent to Sara.

The message included some advice about going into MAFS, and Ollie told Tahnee: “Show empathy but don’t pretend to give things a pass.” He also told her to leave the experiment if she didn’t think things were working with Tim because “the public will smell that”.

Interestingly, Ollie cropped the screenshot so his followers could only see one message, which begs the question of what was in the other messages the two exchanged.

Sara hid her phone during Confessions Week

Tim and Sara were handed a task during Confessions Week where they were asked to go through each other’s phones.

MAFS. Nine.

Sara strongly objected, and straight out refused to hand her phone over.

“You’ve got to remember, we are strangers like at this point we’ve only known each other for a week,” Sara told the 9Entertainment.

“Phones are like a diary for a lot of people and I just didn’t know how far he was going to look into it. I feel like it’s a very private thing.”

However, with the latest Ollie development coming to light, we can’t help but wonder if that’s what she was hiding from her husband Tim.

How a Sunflower is helping Taylor Swift fans with invisible disabilities enjoy the Eras Tour in Melbourne

Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour is kicking off in Melbourne on February 16, and some fans are dabbing glitter on their faces, throwing on their sparkliest outfit, gathering their handmade beaded bracelets and for some, putting on a sunflower lanyard.

While this particular item is not widely known across the population, the Sunflower Lanyard is incredibly important, helping those with hidden disabilities that are not immediately obvious.

According to hdnsunflower.com, 1 in 5 people have a disability, with 80% of those hidden and can include:

  • autism
  • mental health conditions (anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder etc)
  • dementia
  • Tourette syndrome
  • visual impairments
  • deaf or hard of hearing

What does the Hidden Disabilities Sunflower do?

Established in 2016, the initiative has since been adopted globally by major airports including Melbourne, Sydney and Gatwick Airport as well as RAC Arena in WA and the Hawthorn Football Club.

But, for those Swifties heading to the MCG, wearing the sunflower discreetly indicates to staff, health professionals and patrons who are aware of the initiative, that they may need additional support.

Supporting this practice is “part of the MCC’s commitment to improving accessibility and inclusion and making all MCG visitors feel welcome”, the official website said.

Unfortunately, at the time of publication (February 16, the day the MCG is preparing to welcome Tay Tay and her legion of fans) the supply of Sunflower lanyards has been exhausted; however, here’s hoping that by reading this, you can be on the lookout for anyone who may need assistance!

How you get a Sunflower before other events

There’s a wide range of Sunflowers you can buy including wristbands, pins and supporters lanyards.

The Zodiac Council oversees JLo’s love life, watching and judging from above. While the A-List gathering is something to be marvelled at, the fact that they were not all in the same room at the time…is not.

MAFS 2024: Are Tristan and Cassandra still together?

Tristan Black and Cassandra Allen are the wholesome, sweet and absolutely adorable couple of MAFS 2024.

Tristan has a history of not feeling good enough, but is extremely sweet-natured and kind, while Cassandra is warm and understanding of Tristan’s struggles. Basically, they’re a match made in heaven.

However, as we all already know, the seemingly perfect Married At First Sight couples don’t necessarily make it out the other side of the experiment.

So, are Tristan and Cassandra still together now?

Tristan and Cassandra’s pairing

Cassandra lost her long-time boyfriend in a motorcycle accident when she was in her early 20s. Since then, she’s struggled to find someone to connect with.

According to her Channel 9 bio, Cassandra is outgoing, bubbly and social. She says that she “yearns to meet someone equally as family-oriented and loving as she is to build a life and raise a small football team of kids together.”

Tristan has spent his whole life struggling to get out of the friend zone. According to his Channel 9 bio, he questions “whether he is self-sabotaging or just chasing the wrong women”.

Are Tristan and Cassandra still together?

Tristan and Cassandra are one of the few couples who have kept their relationship (or lack thereof!) under tight wraps.

Neither Tristian nor Cassandra have been sprung sharing any hints about their relationship or social media, and haven’t been papped out and about together.

So, stay tuned for an update on their relationship in the coming weeks!

Watch Married at First Sight Sundays at 7.00pm and Monday – Thursday at 7.30pm on Nine and 9Now.

Penelope is about to get a whole lotta romance on Bridgerton but not with… *checks notes*… Colin

Nicola Coughlan and Luke Newton have revealed that Bridgerton’s Penelope Featherington is about to have a new love interest in season three… but it’s NOT Colin. HUH?!

While the initial teaser released on February 2 saw longing glances and some serious chemistry between the pair, apparently the chapter won’t be focused on their love story, but instead, Pen looking for a husband, with Colin’s assistance…

“She’s decided she’s going to find a husband, she heads back to the ‘Ton and she’s like, ‘I’ve got to get away from the Featheringtons, they’re wrecking my buzz, I’m out of here’,” Nicola said during a fan event on February 14.

“So she basically says, ‘I’m going to find a husband’, and Colin is like, ‘I’ll help you’, and she’s like, ‘Fine, I don’t love you at all, this will work out great’. So she finds some suitors, some are more successful than others but one is very, very fond of her, and she’s like, ‘Yeah, this could work’.”

Of course, we all know that Penelope has longed for her friend but after overhearing him say he would never court her, she has firmly put up a shield.

“I’m going to let this season end after one episode. She’s like, ‘I’ll never forgive you’. I think we better forgive him,” Nicola joked, before Colin added: “I think she has to surely [forgive Colin]. I think it gives us a really good place to start. If everything was all good between the two, there’s less growth for the two of them together.”

Meanwhile, Penelope will have a dalliance with — what Luke described as Colin’s “biggest threat” — Lord Debling (Sam Phillips) a.k.a Debbers.

We can hardly wait for the next season, so it’s lucky that on February 14, we copped another teaser which you can check out below!

Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story and Bridgerton seasons 1-2 are streaming on Netflix. Season 3 will premiere in two parts, on May 16 and June 13 only on Netflix.

MAFS groom Jack Dunkley looks shockingly different in old pre-glow-up pics

It’s fair to say that MAFS groom Jack Dunkley spends a considerable amount of time working on how he looks, after all abs like his don’t come easy!

However, Jack hasn’t always looked the way he does now.

Jack on MAFS. Nine.

Before he had his cheesegrater abs and blinding white smile, Jack had a… side fringe.

Old photos from his Star Now account, which is an online portfolio for acting jobs, show Jack looking significantly different. You can feast your eyes on them below.

Peculiarly, Jack’s profile has his name listed as Jacob Dunkley, which has us questioning what his real name actually is.

Regardless, they’re certainly photos of the MAFS groom, you can see that he’s even recycling his headband from his early noughties days.

Want more pics? You got it!

Are Tori and Jack still together?

**WARNING: This article contains potential spoilers for MAFS 2024.**

Tori Adams and Jack were paired together on Married at First Sight Australia 2024, and while their relationship got off to a bit of a rough start with Jack admitting that he wasn’t attracted to his wife, it appears the couple are still together.

The Daily Mail published a photo of the couple celebrating Christmas together with Tori’s family in Melbourne. In fact, before the annual MAFS participant’s Instagram ban, she shared pics of the couple looking loved-up!

Plus, a photo was shared on a MAFS fan Facebook group showing Tori holding a bunch of flowers on February 14th with a note reading, “My beautiful wife Tori, Happy Valentine’s Day.” Hmmmmm.

Interview: It’s true, Australian Idol is a “popularity contest” but so is the music industry

Australian Idol has long been called a “popularity contest” even before Channel 7 took over the ownership and revamped it in 2023.

And while some would think this idea can be perceived as negative, for co-host Scott Tweedie, it is actually a direct reflection of the industry.

Speaking on Mediaweek and Chattr’s The Entertainment Hotline Podcast, Scott said: “The music industry is a popularity contest. So, when we’re comparing what we are doing to the industry we’re trying to bring these amazing Australians into, we’re going, ‘This is how it works’.”

Natasha Rose, Australian Idol. Seven

Further to this, Scott said that like any musician, the contestants need to have not only an “amazing vocal talent to bring people into whatever you’re singing, but you need to be likeable”.

“You need to have some sort of element of where if they [fans] see you at a bar or in a pub or in a shopping centre, they want to get to know you or want to hang out with you. That’s the popularity contest.

“But the way they do that is by being 100% authentically themselves, being vulnerable and opening up to the Aussies and then unfortunately, some people will connect with some more than others. But when you start to pretend to be something else to try and get more popular, you’re going to fail that’s what I think.”

Australian Idol v The Voice

One thing we do know is that the cast of this year’s series has a helluva story to tell. Something the production team wanted to ensure was highlighted early on in the season.

“I think we’ve achieved that with the style of auditions and how the format changed,” he said. “People already know names now and they’re like ‘Trent, the camel farmer’.

Trent Australian idol

“They might not think he’s the best but they’re like, I want him to win because I like his story. So, I think the producers and the production as a whole, we’ve ticked a massive box of going, what was the DNA of Idol? Why is it different to The Voice and it’s all about the contestants. It’s about making them the stars.”

Australian Idol continues at 7.30pm on Mondays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays on Channel 7 and 7plus.

Ellie and Ben seal their relationship with a kiss and call out MAFS editing for being one-sided

Newlyweds Ellie Dix and Ben Walters have called out MAFS producers in a leaked video diary for editing footage to make it appear as though they don’t like each other.

The video, which was posted by MAFSFunny was taken during the experiment and shows Ellie and Ben talking to a phone camera back at their Sky Suites Apartment.

“Maybe this is not good. Maybe I could be — you know — maybe Ellie really hates me,” Ben said before panning the camera to Ellie.

“I don’t hate him,” Ellie clarified.

“You know, the way these producers make it seem like this huge drama,” she continued.

“What I’m trying to say is you might only be getting a snippet of me saying ‘he made me feel angry,’ but that was last night and I was angry,” she added.

“They’re just getting my side. So, I didn’t write Ben off but all it takes is a little cut here and there,” she trailed off.

Ben agreed and went over and gave Ellie a kiss on camera.

MAFS. Nine.

Are Ben and Ellie still together?

**WARNING: This article contains potential spoilers for MAFS 2024.**

That’s a big old resounding NO.

Bombshell alert, because Ellie was spotted cuddled up with fellow groom Jono McCullough, who’s matched with Lauren Dunn, at her work party in December. A few of the guests plastered photos all over social media, which a MAFS gossip account then got a hold of.

Pics were later released of her and Jono making out in the ocean, so it’s safe to say that she and Ben definitely aren’t together.

According to Daily Mail Australia, the new relationship will be revealed in a future commitment ceremony.

“Lauren had no idea that Jono kept in contact with Ellie and found out during filming, and, boy, was she not happy,” a source told the publication.

“She was completely gobsmacked and felt humiliated by the end – but everyone else is happy for them.”

As if this wild year’s bunch aren’t already bringing enough chaos, the new MAFS brides and grooms – otherwise known as the intruders – have been announced.

Typically, the latecomers will marry each other, so it’s important to note that there’s an odd number of them. It’s good news for Michael, whose match left him before the wedding day.

Michael will be matched with one of the male intruders, and the other two men will be paired off with the latecomer brides.

After the new couples have exchanged their vowels, they will join the original couples for the rest of the experiment.
