Ellie and Luke reveal how far their ‘overnight’ date really went on The Bachelors 2023

22 December 202322 January 2025 by Danica Baker

Ellie Rolfe and Luke Bateman are the only surviving couple from The Bachelors 2023, and it appeared as though their overnight date on the show sealed the deal for their relationship.

However, they’ve since revealed that the truth was a little different to what was shown on our screens.

During episode nine, the Bachelors Luke, Ben and Wes each took one of their contestants to Sorrento for an overnight date. Of course, Luke chose to take Ellie.

While there, Luke and Ellie shared a raunchy makeout sesh in the shower, and after heading out for dinner with the other couples, they went back to Luke’s room.

However, Ellie has revealed that she and Luke didn’t even stay in the same room together, let alone have sex.

“As soon as the cameras were off, we got booted,” Ellie laughed. “I got booted out into different accommodation!”

“They kind of frame it, like not giving away too much of productions secrets, but yeah, they do kind of frame it like [there was a sleepover],” Ellie continued.

Luke would have chosen not to spend the night with Ellie

Luke said that even if he had been allowed to spend the night with Ellie, he would have said no.

“The thing is, it’s a romantic show, it’s not a trashy show, it’s not set up to be, you know, everyone’s sleeping with everybody,” he said.

“Everyone’s there for love and an actual relationship so those opportunities weren’t available. And even if they were available, I wouldn’t have taken it up.”

“You want to wait until you’re exclusive,” Ellie agreed. “For me anyway, I felt like it would be a thing of like, if we live here together, then we can explore that exclusively.”

Luke and Ellie have gotten matching tattoos

A day after The Bachelors 2023 finale aired, Luke and Ellie headed to the tattoo parlour to get inked up with matching tattoos.

During an appearance, on The Project, Ellie explained that she and Luke made the decision on a whim.

“Yeah, we had an eventful day today,” she told the co-hosts.

“It was very spontaneous. We went out for lunch and had a few cocktails and got excited and thought it would be a good idea to get matching tattoos,” she continued.

“It is a love heart and I’ve got the letter L and he has got the letter, E.”

Luke revealed that it was Ellie’s decision to get the ink.

“We went out and had a boozy lunch,” he said.

“Ellie was like, ‘Shall we get tattoos?’ and I thought that’s a great idea.”

MAFS’ Mel Schilling gives update on her cancer diagnosis, revealing she is in good spirits

22 December 202322 January 2025 by Anita Anabel

Married At First Sight‘s Mel Schilling has taken to social media to give fans an update as she battles colon cancer.

On December 21, the 51-year-old revealed that she had the disease, followed by an Instagram post on December 22, saying that the tumour, “Terry”, had already been removed by doctors in the UK.

“Terry, you are the weakest link…goodbye! 👋🏼,” she penned, accompanying a photo of herself giving the thumbs up.

“So yesterday lunchtime I had keyhole surgery to remove my tumour (AKA Terry) and in the words of my amazing surgeon, it couldn’t have gone any better!”

According to Mel, the cancer hadn’t spread to her abdominal cavity, “which was our greatest fear but was entirely localised in my colon.”

“Over the coming days, I will discuss my treatment plan going forwards but suffice to say that Terry is toast! 🥳 [sic]”

Mel Schilling thanks fans and the NHS for their support

The MAFS expert then went on to say how she was “absolutely blown away” by the “countless messages of support” she had received.

“I am so very touched and can honestly say it’s made a difference, so thank you all. 🩷”

To conclude, she thanked “everyone in the UK” who “should be incredibly proud of the people of the NHS.”

“Everyone from my consultant to the surgical team and especially the wonderful nurses managing my recovery have been just superb,” she said. “It’s not just their professionalism but also their genuine concern, bedside manner (especially the nurses) and their endlessly sunny disposition, despite working up to 14 hour days.

“I owe all of these wonderful people my life and I will be forever indebted to them. The NHS is a unique, precious institution we need to make sure it’s here to serve our children and our children’s children.”

Mel Schilling shares her initial diagnosis

On December 21, Mel took to Instagram to share the news of her diagnosis.

The TV personality shared the sad news on Instagram and revealed that she was diagnosed last week.

“’YOU HAVE CANCER’. Three little words that everyone dreads but no one ever expects to hear. Last Thursday my consultant told me those 3 words,” she captioned a pic of herself hugging her husband Gareth Brisbane and their daughter Madison in front of their Christmas tree.

Mel explained that she experienced severe cramps while filming and went to her GP, however he put it down to constipation.

“Fortunately I knew something still wasn’t right so I booked in for a scan when I returned to the UK. On Thursday I was told I had colon cancer and in an instant, my whole life changed.”

The Bachelors 2023: There’s been a HUGE development with Wes and Brea’s relationship

21 December 202322 January 2025 by Danica Baker

Wesley Senna Cortes was the first of The Bachelors 2023 to hand out his final rose, and it went to Brea well before the final episode.

The couple dated exclusively on the show, but decided to go their separate ways at the finale. Since then, Brea has revealed that she’s got a new boyfriend.

While Brea didn’t share the mystery man’s name, she did tell Refinery 29 that “things are going really good” and that they are “living under the same roof”.

Brea shared that she met the man at a cattle station in the middle of the Queensland outback.

“He’s a cowboy and he’s just my type,” she laughed.

The main cause for the breakdown of Wes and Brea’s relationship was the lack of compromise, something that she said her new partner is great at.

“The difference is, we do a lot of compromises, but it’s just something that kind of happened.”

At the finale, Brea said that the door wasn’t completely closed on her relationship with Wes. However, it sounds as though that door is locked and bolted now!

Wes and brea on The Bachelors — The Bachelors. Ten.

What happened with Wes and Brea?

In episode nine of The Bachelors 2023, Wes took Brea aside and told her that he wanted to explore things with her and her only. Brea was delighted by the decision and agreed to go exclusive with him.

After Wes had sent home the other remaining women, they headed off on a date with fellow Bachelors Luke Bateman and Ben Waddell, the men took Ellie and Amelia respectively.

The date was an overnight date, and Luke and Ben seemed to have a lot of fun in the shower. It wasn’t such smooth sailing for Ben and Amelia who struggled to communicate, however, it was totally awks for Brea and Wes.

As Wes has previously mentioned in The Bachelors, he is religious and doesn’t believe in sex before marriage. He’s also a virgin and has never been in love. Meanwhile, Brea has repeatedly stated that she’s a “very sexual person”.

When Brea and Wes headed to the overnight room, they awkwardly sat next to each other before Wes gingerly gave her a hug and sent her off to her own room.

“We sat down and things got a little bit awkward, it’s almost comical because there is a bit of a dampener on the mood,” Brea said. “Right now, this is not a good start,” she added.

And, their next encounter wasn’t any better. Brea, her mum and her sister met up with Wes and his step mum Baby to talk about the couple’s future. What ensued was an absolute hot mess and Brea was told by Baby (who basically spoke on Wes’s behalf) that there was practically no hope for their future together.

Brea told Wes that she was willing to give up sexual intimacy because of his religious beliefs but wanted to still share a bed with him. Wes continually skirted the question and bed-sharing seemed out of the question, which resulted in Brea dumping him at the finale.

Stream The Bachelors, Sunday to Wednesday at 7.30 pm on 10 and 10Play.

The Bachelors 2023: Which couples are still together?

21 December 202322 January 2025 by Danica Baker

Another season of The Bachelors 2023 is finto for, and two of the men left with their chosen women, but are they still together?

The Bachelors 2023 finale, which was available to stream on 10Play a day before the episode played out on free-to-air TV on December 20th, saw Ben Wadell choose Mckenna and Luke Bateman choose Ellie.

Wes met Brea for the final speech, but he ended up leaving the show single.

Find out which couples are still together from The Bachelors 2023.

Are Brea and Wes still together?

Nope. Brea and Wes were exclusive up until the last episode. However, Brea told Wes that he hadn’t compromised and met her in the middle and ended the relationship.

Since the filming of The Bachelors wrapped, Brea is in a new relationship. The 28-year-old told Refinery29 that she and the mystery man are exclusive and “living under the same roof”.

I wanted to make sure that I continue down that path. I have been voicing my opinion and I have been setting my boundaries and telling people what I want. And now, there’s a guy who wants to meet me halfway,” she added.

Are Ben and McKenna still together?

The season may have just aired on TV, but Ben and McKenna are already donezo. Ben took to Instagram to confirm that they had broken up

“It is with sadness that I share things with myself and Mckenna didn’t work out the way we had hoped. In the end the distance was difficult; we both had extended commitments overseas in different time zones, which was challenging,” he wrote.

He added that he is still “great friends” with her and is excited to see what the future has in store for her.

Are Luke and Ellie still together?

Luke and Ellie on The Bachelors 2023 — The Bachelors. Ten.

Luke and Ellie are the only surviving love story of The Bachelors 2023.

After the finale aired Ben took to Instagram to gush about the therapist.

“From the very first moment I met Ellie her presence shifted something within me and I knew instantly she was beyond special and my life would never be the same again,” he began.

“The love that grew between us on the show and continues to grow now, is nothing short of magical and once in a lifetime,” he added.

It was fairly obvious that Ben was besotted by Ellie ever since he laid eyes on her in the premiere episode. During the finale, Ben told Ellie he loved her and she said it back to him.

The Bachelors 2023: Heartbreaks and happily ever afters — Here’s who our leading men chose

21 December 202322 January 2025 by Anita Anabel

The season finale of The Bachelors 2023 was one for the history books as one Bachie professed his love, another walked away with his fave and another was left heartbroken, walking away with no one.

When host Osher Günsberg sat down with Luke, Ben and Wesley before the final decision, all three were filled with emotion. Luke grappled with the weight of breaking someone’s heart while Ben revealed how far he had come with sharing his emotions.

Meanwhile, Wes contemplated compromise with GF Brea whom he infamously asked to be “exclusive” during the season.

Luke

When faced with making his decision, Luke, surrounded by a fairytale setting of flowers, laid his heart on the line to Ellie.

While he initially said he had “lied” to her, the dapper lumberjack revealed that he had been dishonest about how he had only “loved two people” in his life. In reality, he had never had a love like he had with her! Le sigh.

Luke and Ellie the bachelors 2023 — Luke and Ellie. 10

“I love you,” he said, before offering her a dazzling “reassurance ring”.

He was then faced with a heart-to-heart with Lana, ending in a bittersweet goodbye.

Ben

Ben’s honesty led to an unexpected heartbreak, as he told Angela his heart belonged to someone else. Basically, she didn’t take it very well and stormed off.

Meanwhile, he chose Mckenna, sealing their union with a kiss.

Wes

Wesley, with nerves and sincerity, expressed his hopes for a bright future with Brea.

However, the couple had to face the hard truth — compromise and Wes struggled to agree to it.

With differences too big to ignore, the door to their relationship closed indefinitely.

Married at First Sight’s Mel Schilling diagnosed with cancer

20 December 202322 January 2025 by Danica Baker

MAFS relationship expert Mel Schilling has revealed that she’s been diagnosed with colon cancer.

The TV personality shared the sad news on Instagram and revealed that she was diagnosed last week.

“’YOU HAVE CANCER’. Three little words that everyone dreads but no one ever expects to hear. Last Thursday my consultant told me those 3 words.” she captioned a pic of herself hugging her husband Gareth Brisbane and their daughter Madison in front of their Christmas tree.

Mel explained that she experienced severe cramps while filming and went to her GP, however he put it down to constipation.

“Fortunately I knew something still wasn’t right so I booked in for a scan when I returned to the UK. On Thursday I was told I had colon cancer and in an instant my whole life changed,” she added.

Mel is going to hospital to fight the cancer

Mel revealed that will be going to the hospital on December 21st to have surgery to remove the tumour.

“This week I had planned to travel to Northern Ireland with my family to spend Christmas with loved ones. Instead tomorrow morning I’m checking in to hospital to have an operation to remove a 5cm tumour in my colon, a tumour that had it gone undetected for much longer would have killed me,” she wrote.

Mel’s prognosis

Fortunately, the relationship counsellor said that she is “expected to make a full recovery”.

“I feel incredibly blessed that it’s a cancer that is relatively easy to eradicate,” she wrote. “I also feel so lucky to have an incredible support network around me, both personally and professionally, my own family and my TV family have been amazing this past few days.

“It will be so tough to spend Xmas Day in hospital instead of being surrounded by family but getting rid of Terry (what I’ve named my tumour) will be the best present of all. I just wanted to finish by saying that if something doesn’t feel right, please, please don’t ignore it and if you don’t think the answers you have got are right, keep going until you do, it might just save your life.”

Wang told IndieWire that Kidman initially approached her with the project.

“I was incredibly grateful,” Wang said. “It was pretty early, in the summer, right after [‘The Farewell’] had been released. She saw the film and loved it.

Wes’s step-mum Baby basically ripped Brea to shreds on The Bachelors 2023

19 December 202322 January 2025 by Danica Baker

The Bachelors‘ Brea and Wes’s relationship hit murky waters after they couldn’t agree on how their life outside of the show would look.

The newly exclusive couple sat down with Brea’s mum and sister in episode 11, and Wes’s step mum Baby. Like Wes, Baby is very religious and she made it clear that he and Brea wouldn’t be physically affectionate before marriage.

During the chat, Brea said that she would compromise by being okay with not being sexually intimate with Wes, but would like to share a bed with him. However, Baby wouldn’t have a bar of it.

Baby on The Bachelors — The Bachelors. Ten.

“Living together, spending the night together doesn’t mean that you’re going to get to know someone better,” she barked at Brea.

“Everyone is pressuring him to lower his standards, and it doesn’t work like that,” she added.

Brea tried to explain her point of view to Baby, but it wasn’t well received.

“I like the close proximity. If I like someone and I’m going to be in a relationship with someone, I want to be around you, I want to be near you,” Brea said to Wes.

By the end of the ep, absolutely no progress was made, and Brea and Wes’s relationship was left on extremely shaky grounds.

When did Brea and Wes become exclusive?

Part way his journey as one of the Bachelors, Wes decided to let go of two of his remaining women and make things exclusive with Brea.

In the episode, Wes took Brea aside and told her that he wanted to explore things with her and her only. Brea was delighted by the decision and agreed to go exclusive with him.

Are Brea and Wes still together?

Brea and Wes haven’t confirmed whether they are still together or not, however, all will be revealed in the final episode which airs on December 20.

Interview: Love Island Australia’s Zac reveals the next major step in his relationship with Lucinda

19 December 202321 January 2025 by Danica Baker

Love Island Australia 2023’s Zac Nunn’s has dished the dirt on his relationship with Lucinda Strafford, revealing that the couple are about to take a major step together.

Since filming wrapped on Love Island Australia five months ago, Lucinda and Zac have stayed together despite the geological roadblock.

During an interview with Chattr, the Love Island Australia finalist revealed that he’s spent some time in the UK with Lucinda, and she is coming to see him in Australia.

“I spent two and a half months with her in the UK,” he said. “She’s spending Christmas with her family. I’m spending Christmas with my family and I’m seeing her in literally seven days from now. Just after Christmas, she’s coming here and we’re going to spend a month together in Australia.”

“It’s gonna be her first trip [to Australia]. I get to show her around. I’m so excited.”

Zac revealed that he has plans to move to England in the near future so that he can be with Lucinda.

“I think I’m going to relocate to the UK at some point early next year.”

Zac and Lucinda’s relationship has been thriving outside the villa

Zac and Lucinda became girlfriend and boyfriend while they were inside the villa, and Zac said that their relationship has been going from strength to strength ever since.

“Obviously, it’s not the real world when you’re in [the villa]. So, when we left it was just crazy how calm it was, we didn’t argue there was nothing bad it was just so wonderful,” Zac said.

The former electrician said that he and Lucinda put a lot of effort into their long-distance relationship.

“I think doing long distances comes with its challenges, it’s not been the easiest thing ever and it takes a lot of trust for both of us,” he said.

“We talk on the phone for four hours every day, we talk on the phone right up until 2am most nights.”

Love Island Australia 2023: The winners have been crowned and Australia made the right decision

19 December 202321 January 2025 by CHATTR Team

Love Island Australia 2023 was quite the ride and finally, two deserving winners have been crowned.

After seven weeks of different eras, dramas, tears, challenges and surprises, Tyra Johannes and Kale Roberts were given the coveted title and basically, we couldn’t love this outcome any more.

After returning to the villa after being dumped, their fairytale story had the audience swooning, with loyal fans voting them their favourite couple over the other finalists, Lucinda Strafford and Zac Nunns and Savanah Badger and Clint Posselt.

The final three Love Island Australia 2023 couples. Nine

Tyra and Kale’s winning speech

“This has been one of the best seasons of Love Island Australia yet,” host Sophie Monk said. “I’ve laughed out loud and actually cried. It’s so entertainingly beautiful, there were heartfelt moments, and it’s so relatable. I feel like I’m learning life lessons from this season, and I’ve seen A LOT in my lifetime.”

Tyra, 23, admitted she was “stoked” about their win.

“Kale is everything I could ever ask for in a partner and more,” she said. “The most kind and considerate man I’ve ever met. We’ve got so many plans, kicking it all off with a trip over to Perth to meet Kale’s family. I am stoked.”

Meanwhile, Kale, 25, said: “I couldn’t be more excited for what’s next for me and the future with Tyra. We have so many exciting things coming up already. It’s amazing how bubbly and uplifting her presence is, she can light up a room with one smile.” CUTE!!

While in previous seasons, the winning couple were handed an envelope each, one containing $50,000 and the other nothing — which determined who was in it for love or money — this year was a little different.

Last week, the top four couples were made a life-changing offer as individuals, deciding whether to take $20,000 from Sophie. All of the couples who remained turned down the cash and chose love, meaning that Tyra and Kale walked away with a cash prize of $50,000.

It’s The Bachelors Australia 2023 finals week, so find out when every episode is on

18 December 202322 January 2025 by Danica Baker

Watching The Bachelors Australia 2023 has been a bit of a ride for fans this season.

As usual, an episode aired on Channel 10 on its allocated night. However, an advance episode was available on the network’s streaming app, 10Play, straight after the current episode finished airing.

The new format allowed fans to get their Bach dose early, but it was slightly confusing to figure out which episode is on when.

Of course, coming into finals week it’s vital for all serious Bach fans to get their Ben, Wes and Luke dose as soon as possible. So, to make that feat a little easier, we’ve popped together a guide of when each episode is on during The Bachelors Australia finals week.

When is The Bachelors Australia on?

Going into finals week, there are three episodes left of The Bachelors Australia 2023. Episode 10 will air on Channel 10 at 7:30pm on Monday the 18th of December, however, the ep was uploaded for streaming on Sunday night (17th Dec).

Episode 11 will air on free-to-air TV on Tuesday the 19th at 7:30pm and episode 12 will air on Wednesday the 20th at 7:30pm.

When is The Bachelors 2023 grand final?

The Bachelors 2023 grand final will play out on Wednesday the 20th at 7:30pm. Given that it’s the final ep, It’s unlikely that it will be available on 10Play prior to the free-to-air screening.

Who will win The Bachelors 2023?

**WARNING: This article contains potential spoilers for The Bachelors Australia 2023.**

Wes has already picked Brea as his final choice, but in the coming episodes, we’ll be able to see if the couple choose to stay together post-show.

Meanwhile, Ben and Luke still need to choose who they will give their final rose to. Betting odds suggest that Ben will pick Mckenna and Luke will pick Ellie.

When is The Bachelors on? — The Bachelors. Ten.

The Bachelors Grand Final will air on Wednesday at 7.30 pm on 10 and 10Play.

The Bachelors’ Ben Waddell is certainly no stranger to the spotlight; he’s been working as an international model for well over a decade, and during that time, he’s worked with some big names.

Ben has modelled for Levis, Carolina Herrera, Ralph Lauren and Tommy Hilfiger, and he’s posed in campaigns with Lara Worthington (nee Bingle) and Love Island UK’s Jamie Jewitt.

Lara and Ben were in a Cotton On campaign back in 2013, and he lived with Jamie (who married Camilla Thurlow from Love Island UK season 3) and worked on multiple photoshoots with him.

Fast forward to the present day, and eagle eye fans have spotted Ben in a Specsavers ad.

Ben has obviously had a very fruitful career in modelling, so, naturally, we thought we’d take a trip down memory lane and check out some of his best (and most hilarious) gigs.

The Love Island 2023 winner may have just leaked and was there really any other option, anyway?

18 December 202321 January 2025 by Danica Baker

Three couples have made the finals, but which pair of lovebirds will be crowned the winner of Love Island Australia 2023?

The couples who’ve almost made it to the finish line are Kale Roberts and Tyra Johannes, Zac Nunns and Lucinda Strafford and Savannah Badger and Clint Posselt.

Betting odds are suggesting that one couple will win by a landslide and, given the front runner, it looks like they’re right on the money.

While popular site Sportsbet has closed the bets for Love Island Australia 2023, betting odds are still floating around the internet and they have fan favs Kale and Tyra in first place with a return of $1.50. Zac and Lucinda are next with $3.00 and Sav and Clint are least expected to win with a return of $5.00.

How do betting odds work?

Betting odds are listed with a dollar amount. If someone bets $1.00, they’d receive back the amount the couple was listed at. For example, if a punter bets $1.00 on Kale and Tyra they’d receive a $1.50 return if he won. This changes when the amount deposited changes, so $10.00 would turn into $15.00, $100 would turn into $150.00, and so on.

Do betting odds correctly guess the winner?

Not always, however, betting odds can often be a good indicator of who will win a show.

For example, Brent Draper had the best odds to win MasterChef Australia 2023, and he was, in fact, crowned the winner. Plus, last year’s betting odds indicated that Liz Parnov would win Survivor Australia, which she did.

More recently, betting odds suggested that Steph and Gian would win The Block 2023, which they well and truly did, with a profit of $1.65 million, plus $100,000 in prize money.

Big Brother Australia airs Monday to Thursday at 8:30 pm on 7 and 7Plus.

Gogglebox’s Isabelle Silbery’s sweet nod to Emmie with her baby daughter’s name

18 December 202329 January 2025 by Danica Baker

Isabelle Silbery has revealed that her baby’s name is a meaningful nod to her grandmother and former Gogglebox co-star Emmie Silbery.

Isabelle took to Instagram to reveal the inspiration behind her daughter’s name, Ruby.

“My heart explodes 🥰,” she wrote. “Ruby was the name of Emmie’s Aunty who adopted her when she was orphaned at age of 9. She saved Emmie from the horrible orphanages back in those days and cared for her like she was her own daughter.

“I hope our Ruby inherits generations of maternal resilience and Emmie’s cheeky sense of humour 😛.”

Isabelle appeared on Gogglebox with her mum Kerry Silbery and her grandma Emmie, however, Emmie stepped back from the show earlier this year following her dementia diagnosis.
