With King Charles desperately trying to oust a stubborn Prince Andrew from the 30-room mansion, insiders confirm their younger brother Edward has put his hat in the ring to take command of the estate.

ROYAL LODGE BATTLE

“It’s a complete disaster that appears to be getting more complicated the longer it’s dragged out,” says a palace insider. 

“Andrew wants it for Beatrice and Eugenie while Edward and Sophie make a compelling financial case in terms of the work that needs to be done. 

“But more serious is the matter of the King’s wishes, and he wants it for Camilla. Charles is deeply worried about the Queen being cast aside in the event of his death. And as sad as it is, the entire palace has been preparing for that, even before his diagnosis. So it’s become a huge priority.”

The King’s first reported attempts at evicting Andrew was shortly before ex-wife Sarah, Duchess of York, revealed her cancer diagnosis in August 2023. No doubt prioritising her wellbeing, Charles agreed to allow the Yorks to remain at the Lodge while she recovered. 

However, since then, Charles has had his own shock diagnosis to face. And his priorities have completely changed. “William will inherit control of everything. And even though their relationship is much stronger these days, Charles still worries about Camilla’s future when he’s gone,” adds the insider. 

“He wants her to be comfortably set up for life in Windsor.”

ANDREW MUST GO!

However, Prince Andrew is not going down without a fight. “He still has a 75-year lease he signed with the Queen and argues that ever since Bertie and Elizabeth in the ’30s, it’s been the family home of the York duchy,” says an insider. 

“He wants it to stay in his family until that lease is up in 2078. One problem though, he’s not exactly been a good tenant, has he? He’s got absolutely no way of finding the money to pay for the extremely urgent repairs that had he taken care of, he wouldn’t be facing eviction.”

Royal commentator Hugo Vickers is also in support of Andrew downgrading. “I’m sorry the Queen died before she sorted him out, which she could have done,” he tells The Sun. 

“She could have bought him a house somewhere where he would be safe and out of the way and this sort of issue would not be coming up.”

Unlike Andrew, Prince Edward and Sophie have been extremely frugal with their fortune, which is why they’ve reportedly stepped forward as the new caretakers of the historic estate.

“Sophie and Edward are serious contenders to take this project on and do an excellent job,” adds the insider. 

“They’ve completely thrown a spanner into an already difficult situation, which is why Charles has had to come clean on his somewhat unpopular plan to house Camilla. 

“Needless to say, all hell’s broken loose. And if it’s not sorted out soon, there is a push for William to step in and take back the Lodge, just to settle what’s becoming a very uncomfortable fraternal war.”

To help clarify things, we’ve answered all your burning questions below.

The 2024 Twisters movie is considered a standalone sequel to Twister, which means it’s not a remake but it’s also not a continuation of the original story.

The two films share the same premise and are set in the same world, but there are no character overlaps.

In saying that though, there are some nods to the original Twister movie from 1996.

James Paxton, the son of Bill Paxton who portrayed Bill Harding in the ‘90s film, makes a cameo in tribute to his late father, and the Dorothy tracking device also makes a return. 

Lee Isaac Chung, the director of Twisters 2024, has explained the connection between Twisters and Twister, calling the latest flick a “new chapter” in the story.

“I see it as a new science experiment. [It’s the] same world. We don’t have the same characters but it’s a new experiment,” Chung told the Inside Total Film podcast.

“There are a lot of nods to the original. But I hope I’ve made it its own thing as well. That’s what I found invigorating about making this movie – the chance to do something new with that first story that I really loved, to do a new chapter, if you will.”

Although there were early plans to have Helen Hunt reprise her role as a meteorologist Jo, as well as ideas about following the life of her and Bill’s daughter, the studio ultimately decided to go with a fresh story set in the same world.

The newest iteration features a fresh group of storm chasers (Daisy Edgar Jones and Glen Powell) who encounter a convergence of multiple weather systems over central Oklahoma. Twisters also incorporates the effects of climate change into the plot.

Meanwhile, the original focuses on two storm chasers (Bill Paxton and Helen Hunt), who are on the brink of divorce, putting themselves in the middle of a dangerous tornado in an attempt to create a new advanced weather alert system.

Another connection between the original Twister film and Twisters 2024 are the filming locations. Both movies were filmed across a variety of locations in Oklahoma.

Twister was filmed in towns Oklahoma City, Fairfax, Ralston, Maysville and Stillwater, while Twisters was also filmed in Oklahoma City in addition to Chickasha, Okarche, El Reno, Spencer and Cashion.

As the two films are chronologically linked, you technically don’t need to watch Twister before seeing Twisters.

In saying that though, it is super nostalgic to look back at the original before seeing the new story unfold.

You can currently watch the original Twister movie on Paramount Plus, BINGE, or Prime Video in Australia.

The television personality took to Instagram on July 2 to share a collection of images from her recovery journey.

“Hip, hip hooray New hip, new me, no worries” she began.

“A few weeks ago, I had a total hip replacement. After a very active, outdoorsy childhood (& a skiing accident 30 years ago) I’d torn all the cartilage out of my right hip. It was bone-on-bone & then became full of severe osteoarthritis .”

Osteoarthritis is a degenerative joint disease where the tissues in the joint break down over time.

Samantha, 47, assured fans that she is on the road to recovery now that she is “now truly bionic.”

“I’m so proud of how strong my body is & how well I’ve healed,” she wrote. “& my nearest & dearest are pleased to not have to watch me limp around in pain anymore.”

She continued to thank the nurses at St Vincent’s Private Hospital located in Sydney, medication, rehab and her “beautiful friends for [the] flower-filled room.”

SENDING LOVE

Sam’s friends were quick to send their love in the comment section.

“I think this deserves a new pair of Jimmy Choos …just to kick up those old heels and new hip ! Glad to hear it’s gone well x,” The Morning Show host Kylie Gillies wrote.

To which Sam replied: “definitely I’ll meet you on the dance floor at the Logies! xx”

Getaway legacy host Catriona Rowntree believes the intense surgery may be somewhere in her future and she thanked Sam for sharing the contacts.

“Dear Lord, I think this is my future, thankyou for sharing the contacts and please be gentle on yourself from here on in,” she wrote.

“You’ll be dancing in no time Sending you love xxx,” singer Ricki Lee also commented.

DECIDING TO GO UNDER THE KNIFE

While Samantha has been in high spirits, staying positive despite her major surgery, she struggled for a long time before she made the decision to go under the knife.

“She’s been in excruciating pain for many years. It came to a point where it was just too hard to go on in the same way,” a source close to Sam, 47, tells Woman’s Day.

“The time was right to as far as work goes, with filming for Farmer 2024 wrapped and Sam’s contract negotiations for Seven’s next season due to happen later in the year.

“Filming Farmer was difficult for Sam these past few seasons,” the source adds. “She couldn’t be nearly as mobile as she would have liked. This will make walking through paddocks for days on end much easier!”

Adds the source of Sam’s determination to get back on her feet, “She plans to be up and about again in no time – it’s her goal to be back on the dancefloor at the Logies for sure!”

Now Kylie has not only addressed the rumour, she’s confirmed that an Australian tour is a go! Albeit, somewhat accidentally.

On The Fox’s Melbourne breakfast show on Monday, the Aussie pop star was asked about touring in Australia. Host Brendan Fevola asked, “Are you gonna tour in Australia?”

Hesitating for a moment, Kylie responded, “I wanna say yes. Yes, the answer is yes! We’re just locking down details.

“Maybe I wasn’t meant to say that, but yes,” she added. 

While she revealed that it is in the works, the singer did not reveal any further details about the upcoming tour.

THE YEAR OF KYLIE MINOGUE

The interview came off the back of Kylie’s knock-out headline performance at the British Summer Time festival in London’s Hyde Park.

Dubbed, “a glorious celebration of pop perfection”, Kylie delivered a mesmerising performance in a red vinyl jumpsuit to a hyped-up crowd.

Things have been going so well for Kylie lately. Earlier this year, she was named one of TIME magazine’s most influential people. And she took home a global icon award at the BRITs.

The Can’t Get You Out Of My Head singer hasn’t toured her home country since her 2019 Golden tour. But she has released two studio albums and completed a Las Vegas residency. 

In particular, Kylie’s recent release of her album Tension has been met with great acclaim. The album’s hit single Padam Padam earned the Australian icon her first Grammy in 20 years for ‘Best Pop Dance Recording’.

And seemingly, the star who never sleeps, Kylie also reportedly signed a huge deal with streaming giant Netflix to release a documentary about her long-standing career.

The 56-year-old will allegedly film the documentary in late 2024, and it will be an exclusive fly-on-the-wall account of her incredible life story.

There’s so much Kylie to look forward to! Head to Ticketek now and sign up for the Kylie Minogue Australian tour waitlist. Doing so will ensure you won’t miss out on securing your coveted ticket!

Some of the world’s funniest performers walked through the blue door to be welcomed with the iconic line, ‘Thank God You’re Here.’ All completely unaware of the scene that awaited them behind the door, their raw reactions only made the series that much more loveable.  

In mid-July, Channel Ten put an end to fans suffering and revealed another season of “unscripted goodness” was returning for more laughs and surprises.

The TV WEEK Logie nominated series, Thank God You’re Here will return Wednesday August, 14, with the new season currently underway in Melbourne, Australia.

Bringing her wits and one-liners back to the television series as host is Celia Pacquola, who commonly features on Have You Been Paying Attention alongside our 2024 TV WEEK Logies host Sam Pang.

She even took a quick break from comedic television to put on her dancing shoes in Dancing With The Stars.

So, who are the celebrities walking through the blue door to be welcomed with the iconic line ‘Thank God You’re Here’?

Unfortunately, fans will just have to be patient with the full list of comedic talent not yet being revealed by Channel Ten.

In 2023, the guest appearances included Have You Been Paying Attention host Tom Gleisner, LEGO Masters’ Hamish Blake, actress Roz Hammond, comedian Ed Kavalee, Heidi Arena, and many more.

Thank God You’re Here premieres on August 14, at 7:30 on Ten and 10Play.

Known for his environmental advocacy, charitable endeavours and dedication to public service, King Charles has proven himself a capable and compassionate leader, not even letting a cancer diagnosis slow him down. 

However, beyond his royal duties, there’s another side to Charles that the public rarely sees – his role as devoted grandfather. 

King Charles is a proud grandfather to five young royals: Prince George, Princess Charlotte, Prince Louis, Archie Mountbatten-Windsor and Lilibet Mountbatten-Windsor. His affection for them runs deep and is expressed in the way he speaks about them and the moments they share together. 

And in this case, it’s even evident in the way the King accessorises himself. On his trip to Guernsey along with Queen Camilla, the monarch was spotted wearing a yellow-and-red string friendship bracelet. 

It’s very similar to the one his grandaughter and ‘Swiftie”-in-training Princess Charlotte was wearing at Wimbledon. 

Charles often talks about the joy his grandchildren bring into his life. He delights in their milestones from their first steps to their budding personalities. And despite the demands of his position, he prioritises spending quality time with them. 

He’s also great with Camilla’s five grandkids. “My grandchildren absolutely adore him,” she has revealed. “He reads Harry Potter and he can do all the different voices – I think children really appreciate that.”

Here we look at some of the King’s most heart-warming “Grandpa” moments. 

01

The birth of Prince Louis 2018

The then-Prince embraced the joyous news of Louis’ birth, showing off a softer side.

In a statement made on Tuesday, April 24 2018, King Charles spoke on behalf of himself and his wife Camilla, saying: “We are both so pleased at the news.

“It is a great joy to have another grandchild, the only trouble is I don’t know how I am going to keep up with them,” he jested.

02

Queen’s Platinum Jubilee 2022

After two hours of watching a pageant pass by in the street below the stands where he was sitting with his family, young Prince Louis, only just four, couldn’t sit still a moment longer. He wriggled in his seat, pulled faces and didn’t mind his mum Catherine, Princess of Wales when she tried to get him to behave.

When Louis spotted his grandfather, the then Prince Charles, that was it. The little royal popped himself up on Grandpa’s knee. And Charles immediately sprung into action, bouncing him up and down and rocking him from side-to-side to the music from the parade. The monarch also pointed to what was happening, keeping young Louis occupied and happy.

03

The birth of Prince George 2013

Charles and Camilla were in Yorkshire on an official visit when daughter-in-law Kate gave birth to George on 22 July 2013. They flew by helicopter to London, where a full police escort rushed them to St Mary’s Hospital to meet the new heir to the throne.

They stayed for only 10 minutes before returning to Yorkshire to continue their engagements. The next day, Charles admitted to members of the public he met that he had cracked open the bubbly the night before and was “thrilled and overjoyed” about becoming a grandfather for the first time.

Of Prince George’s birth, Camilla said, “It’s a wonderfully uplifting moment for the country. ” She then added that Charles would make a “wonderful grandfather. He’s very good with children.”

04

The birth of Princess Charlotte 2015

Following Charlotte’s birth in 2015, Charles was again beaming with happiness. He vowed to “spoil her, absolutely”.

William admitted his father was “positively obsessed” with the new princess. “As the father of sons, it was something he was missing.”

The proud grandpa told members of the public on one engagement that “Charlotte is simply gorgeous, a beautiful child.” He added that, “She already sleeps through the night and is much easier on Mum than George.”

05

Meeting Lilibet 2022

With Prince Harry and Meghan, Duchess of Sussex living in the US with their children, it’s often difficult for King Charles to see them in person.

However, it was revealed that when the Sussexes and their two children Archie who was three at the time and Lilibet who was only one, jetted over to the UK for the Queen’s 2022 Platinum Jubilee celebrations, Charles was “very emotional” when he met his youngest grandchild for the first time.

Speaking at the briefing of Clarence House’s annual review, a senior royal source said: “It was fantastic to see them. It was wonderful to have them back in Britain. The Prince and the Duchess were absolutely thrilled to see them.

“[He] hasn’t seen his grandson Archie for a bit of time and so it was very, very, very special to have some time with him.

“He hadn’t met Lili, his granddaughter, and so to meet her was very emotional, a very, very wonderful thing.”

Not only has it gone on to become a best-selling series – it’s also now being turned into a film for Netflix, with “the greatest British cast assembled since the [Harry Potter] movies!”

The one and only Steven Spielberg acquired the adaptation rights for The Thursday Murder Club back in September 2020 – the same time the novel was released. 

It was revealed that his production company Amblin Entertainment would be transforming the beloved book into a film, and Chris Columbus, who has worked on movies like Home Alone and Harry Potter, would be directing.

Since then, fans have been waiting with bated breath to find out more details, and boy-oh-boy are they in for a treat!

Here’s everything to know about the upcoming book-to-movie adaptation.

What is the plot of The Thursday Murder Club?

The Thursday Murder Club follows a group of four unlikely friends in a retirement village who team up to investigate unsolved murders.

“But when a brutal killing takes place on their very doorstep, the Thursday Murder Club find themselves in the middle of their first live case. Elizabeth, Joyce, Ibrahim and Ron might be pushing eighty but they still have a few tricks up their sleeves,” the synopsis reads.

The Thursday Murder Club is the first book in the series, and there are three sequel novels that have also been released: The Man Who Died Twice, The Bullet That Missed, and The Last Devil to Die.

A fifth (unnamed) book in the franchise is also currently in the works, and is set to come out in 2025.

Who has been cast in The Thursday Murder Club movie?

Prepare yourself to read one of the best ensemble casts we’ve seen in a long time.

The cast of The Thursday Murder Club will be spearheaded by Pierce Brosnan as Ron, Dame Helen Mirren as Elizabeth, Sir Ben Kingsley as Ibrahim, and Celia Imrie as Joyce.

Also appearing in the film will be Richard E. Grant, Jonathan Pryce, David Tennant, Tom Ellis, Naomi Ackie, Daniel Mays, Henry Lloyd-Hughes, Geoff Bell, Paul Freeman, Sarah Niles and Ingrid Oliver.

If this spectacular cast doesn’t get you excited about the film, we don’t know what will!

When will the movie be released?

The Thursday Murder Club is currently in production, with the cast and crew remaining tight-lipped on details about the potential release date.

We’ll be updating this article once we know more about the upcoming book-to-screen adaptation, so watch this space.

Seven months later, Sofia spoke out about the reason for their divorce.

Sofia Vergara, 57, spoke to Spanish newspaper, El País about her relationship with fellow-actor Joe Manganiello, 47, revealing that the couple weren’t on the same page about growing a family.

“My marriage broke up because my husband was younger; he wanted to have kids and I didn’t want to be an old mom,” Sofia explained.

“I feel it’s not fair to the baby. I respect whoever does it, but that’s not for me anymore.”

Sofia already has one child who she shares with her previous husband, Joe Gonzalez, and she revealed she’s not in a place where she wants more kids.

“I had a son at 19, who is now 32, and I’m ready to be a grandmother, not a mother. So, if love comes along, he has to come with [his own] children. I’m almost in menopause; it’s the natural way of things,” she added.

“When my son becomes a dad, let him bring the baby to me for a while and then I’ll give it back to him and go on with my life; that’s what I have to do,” Sofia shared.

However, Joe has now spoken out about Sofia’s comments, and labelled them as “simply not true”.

“There’s been a lot said in the press about me wanting a family,” The actor told Men’s Journal in July 2024.

“We did try to have a family for the first year and a half. And we had a huge conversation right out of the gate during the first month we dated. I said, ‘If you’re done with kids, then I understand. Just tell me, and I’ll know what this is, and that’s OK.’

“But that wasn’t the case with her. And I swore to her that I would never leave if it didn’t work out. And I didn’t.”

Joe then admitted that he did want to have kids but that “wasn’t inevitably why everything ended. It’s because two people grew apart, and sometimes that happens.”

He continued, “To be painted as if I had some sort of midlife crisis, and after nine years, turned to somebody and gave them an ultimatum of, ‘Do this potentially unhealthy thing to your body, or else I’m gone? That’s never who I was.”

Sofia and Joe announced their divorce via a joint statement in July 2023, sharing that after seven years of marriage they were going their separate ways.

“As two people that love and care for one another very much, we politely ask for respect for our privacy at this time as we navigate this new phase of our lives,” the statement wrote.

Two days after their announcement, Joe officially filed for divorce.

Sofia and Joe met through Sofia’s Modern Family co-star, Jesse Tyler Ferguson in May 2014. At the time, Sofia was engaged to her ex-partner, Nick Loeb.

A few weeks after they first met, Sofia announced her split from Nick and Joe promptly asked Jesse for her number.

Sofia officially confirmed their relationship in August 2014, telling PEOPLE, “I’m very happy romantically. It couldn’t be better!”

The pair moved in together in November 2014, and then swiftly became engaged in December – just six months after they started dating.

“When you know, you know, and we knew right away — like, very quickly,” Joe said of their quick engagement.

Less than one year later, on 22 November 2015, Sofia and Joe officially tied the knot in Florida in a lavish affair.

In the years after their wedding, Sofia and Joe attended countless events and awards ceremonies together and even starred alongside each other in a movie, Bottom of the 9th, in 2017.

The couple ultimately called it quits in July 2023, and both parties have since moved on with new partners. Joe has been linked to actress Caitlin O’Connor, while Sofia has confirmed her relationship with orthopaedic surgeon Dr Justin Saliman.

Upon hearing that she would have to leave the farm, Krissy confessed she “did not see [that] coming” after being “confident” in their connection.

Months after the finale has aired, Krissy alleged to Yahoo Lifestyle she had an intimate relationship with Tom during FWAW and remained so until the day he didn’t choose her.

“When I met Farmer Tom we had a connection straight away. It was obvious to me that I was his first pick and I am embarrassed to reveal we slept together on the first night at his farm,” Krissy told the publication.

Krissy further claimed the breakup scene was shot twice after Tom kept “mumbling.”

“Can you imagine having an intimate relationship with a guy for nine weeks and then being broken up with twice because he felt he needed to have a second take? I was mortified,” she said.

This isn’t the first time Krissy has shared her feelings following the FWAW finale. In a post shared to Instagram soon after, she expressed how she truly felt about the rejection.

“To say my heart was shattered into a thousand pieces, isn’t enough, because it’s in a million. ,” she began.

“If I know one thing for certain, it’s that I have always had the ability to love loud, to love whole and to love in a way that sees the best in people and it’s a simple request in return, the same as I give. ”

“Unfortunately this time around, my rose coloured glasses were tinted a bit too much and it wasn’t meant to be.”

The 29-year-old continued to share her hopes in one day finding the person that won’t hesitate on choosing her. Thanking FWAW fans, friends and family who have showed love throughout the series.

“We are in an environment whereby we put our real life on hold and unravel ourselves for the potential of finding the one, but this time, for me, it crumbled,” she added.

Despite competing for Tom’s heart against Sarah, Krissy shared her love for her new friend.

“To Sarah, it hard to explain how close you become through an experience like this but I am grateful to have met you, shared laughs, dreams, tears, ghost stories and now ACOTAR with you. There was a respect for each other and our relationship and I will always be only a call or flight away ”

Coupled with her recent appearance at the 2024 men’s singles Wimbledon final, fans remained hopeful of her re-joining her family at some high-profile events.

But these two appearances don’t necessarily mean she’ll be returning to public duties anytime soon. Here’s what we know so far.

The Princess of Wales’ long-awaited public appearance at Trooping the Colour marked the first time she had been seen in an official capacity since Christmas Day 2023, and she looked as radiant as ever at the event.

Catherine then attended the final day of Wimbledon on 14 July, where she was met with a standing ovation from spectators in the stands.

But do these appearances mark her official return to royal duties? Unfortunately, no.

Catherine is still undergoing preventative chemotherapy to treat an undisclosed form of cancer, but her attendance at the parade and tennis tournament hopefully signify her treatment is going well and she’ll be back to her regular duties relatively soon.

Whilst Kensington Palace confirmed Kate Middleton’s presence at the Trooping the Colour shortly ahead of the day, they also quickly shut down any prospects of her attending the annual Garter Day on 17 June, as well as the Royal Ascot racing carnival – an event which is traditionally attended by senior members of the royal family.

In her touching personal statement confirming her attendance at the King’s birthday parade, the Princess of Wales admitted that she still has both “good days and bad days”, which means her appearance at upcoming events will likely depend on how she feels at the time.

According to her statement, Catherine will start to do some work from home as she feels better, and she also shared her “hope to join a few public engagements over the summer” – one such event being the Wimbledon final.

The Sun have reported that the princess will start to hold meetings with palace staff as well as representatives from the Royal Foundation and the Centre for Early Childhood – both being charities she is a patron of.

A spokesperson for Catherine has also confirmed that the palace will only give updates on face-to-face work meetings when “appropriate” and relevant.

Kensington Palace has yet to confirm Kate’s next official public engagement, and well-placed sources have now told Vanity Fair that both Prince William and Princess Catherine are planning to take a “summer break” at their Norfolk property, where they can spend time with their three children.

The Princess was candid and honest about her cancer journey in her statement, admitting she is “learning how to be patient, especially with uncertainty. Taking each day as it comes, listening to my body, and allowing myself to take this much needed time to heal.”

“With regret, Sarah, Duchess of York has decided to withdraw from the Festival of Fiction, so as not to distract or detract in any way from the tour of Australia by His Majesty the King, which has recently been announced,” a statement shared on the festival’s Instagram page wrote.

The Duchess of York was going to be attending a writer’s festival in Perth, the Festival of Fiction, which takes place on 19 October. However, this date falls exactly within the King and Queen’s upcoming tour of Australia.

As such, she postponed her trip and will instead “be returning to Perth on November 1 at 6.30pm for a special event at Joondalup Resort.”

Sarah, also known as “Fergie”, then apologised for any inconvenienced caused by the change of date.

It is likely that the 64-year-old will be speaking about her latest book, A Woman of Intrigue, at the event. The mother of Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie is the author of over 55 books in total, including multiple children’s books as well as romance novels.

When announcing the news of her original visit down under in March, Sarah spoke about how her three grandchildren inspired her for the major personal trip.

Sarah, Duchess of York has two grandsons and one granddaughter: August (three), Ernest (one), and Sienna (two).

Since becoming a grandmother, Sarah has revealed she’s become “acutely aware of [her] responsibility” to improve the state of the world for future generations.

The Global Citizen NOW event was co-chaired by Sarah, and at the summit she engaged with young leaders who are working to address the climate crisis, as well as end poverty and improve girls’ education.

The Duchess of York announced that she would be attending Global Citizen NOW via an Instagram post, where she uploaded a portrait of herself and wrote: “I am pleased to announce […] I am coming to Melbourne to participate in vital intergenerational conversations with young leaders from across the Asia-Pacific region, who are doing frontline, grassroots work to address the climate crisis, the hunger crisis, girls’ education and issues perpetuating cycles of extreme poverty. 

“I look forward to listening to them, learning from them, and contributing whatever voice I have to speak up for the future of our planet. My parents always highlighted the need to champion the quiet voice of Mother Nature, and now even more so since becoming a grandmother I’ve become acutely aware of my responsibility, and that of my generation, to do everything we can to improve the state of the world we are leaving for our grandchildren.”

The event featured activists, world leaders, business leaders, and artists to bring awareness to these issues.

Special (in-person and virtual) attendees included other big names such as Hugh Jackman, Charlie Puth, Crowded House, Julia Gillard and Osher Günsberg, among others.

The news of Sarah’s March trip came merely weeks after she announced that she was diagnosed with malignant melanoma, a form of skin cancer, in January 2024 – less than a year after facing breast cancer.

Sarah, mother to Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie, said her diagnosis was a shock but she was “in the best hands and feeling positive”.

“After undergoing a mastectomy and reconstruction, I could only hope that I was in the clear, which is why a new diagnosis of skin cancer came as a shock,” she said. “I’m now in the best hands and feeling positive with the support of my family.”

It’s return marks a 10th consecutive year of Gogglebox where regular – but much loved – households share their hilarious reactions from their living room to screens across the nation.

Returning to the new season is fan favourites, The Delpechitra Family; Lee and Keith; Anastasia and Faye; and The Daltons.

The 20th season is in fact the second season to air in 2024, after Gogglebox first aired in February 2024. 

Sadly, the Silbery family hasn’t been full since 2022 after Grandma Emmie was diagnosed with dementia in late 2022. Since joining the show with Kerry and Izzy in 2016, the matriarch of the Silbery family has made families laugh.

“It’s been a tough few months watching my grandma deteriorate before our eyes,” Isabelle previously wrote in a heartfelt statement on Instagram.

“I’ve been supporting Mum, who has all the weight on her shoulders as she makes some big decisions for Emmie’s future. What’s best for her now is that she is safe and happy in permanent care just up the road, where we visit her every day.”

Since its inception, Gogglebox Australia has snagged a staggered six TV Week Logie Awards. Additionally, it has been nominated for a seventh time at the 2024 AACTA Awards, which is set to take place February 10.

It has also inspired the spin-off Celebrity Gogglebox Australia, which is an annual one episode special to raise awareness of ReachOut Australia.

“We are passionate about the Games as it’s something that can bring the world’s people together,” says Barb. 

The couple’s life-long love affair with all sports began in their youth with Laurie a keen swimmer, football, soccer and rugby player. Meanwhile Barb’s passion for athletics and netball provided a common interest for the pair, who have been together for 40 years.

REMEMBERING SYDNEY 2000

“I went to the Mexico City Olympics in ’68 as a spectator and I was a young and impressionable 20-year-old who was passionate about sport and seeing the world’s best athletes,” says Laurie.

They met in the early ’80s and, explains Laurie, it didn’t take much to convince his new wife to honeymoon at the Los Angeles Olympics in 1984.

They attended every Olympics as spectators until Sydney 2000, when they decided to volunteer in the lead-up to and during the Games. Since then Barb and Laurie have volunteered in the Olympic Village at every Games, except for Tokyo in 2021 in the aftermath of the pandemic.

LIFE AS AN OLYMPIC VOLUNTEER 

Olympic volunteers are the lifeblood of the Games and no job is a problem. “It could be as small as getting clean towels for an athlete,” explains Barb, 68.

The Olympics can also be centrestage for protests or participants making life-changing decisions. “They might say they want to defect, but that’s our worst nightmare!” she laughs.

Laurie, 76, witnessed the massacre that killed 12 competitors from Israel and Germany at Munich in 1972 and still remembers the horrors clearly. “It still emotionally affects me because I’m probably one of the few people who’s still alive in the world today who was in the stadium for that ceremony,” says the former professional swimming coach.

But most of their memories are happy ones. Over the years, Barb and Laurie have also gathered a large collection of memorabilia, much of which they’ve given away to schools and groups. 

And while they’ve loved every Olympics, they agree Sydney 2000 was hands-down the best they’ve attended. And despite not getting paid for volunteering, the pair say there are definitely perks, like meeting the Prince and Princess of Wales, William and Kate, in London in 2012.

“The icing on the cake was that experience,” recalls Barb. “Kate talked to me about their upcoming trip to Australia and how much she was looking forward to it.”

Nat Thaipun has won the title after a final high-pressure and high-intensity challenge that pushed both remaining cooks to their limits.

Judges Andy Allen, Poh Ling Yeow, Sofia Levin and Jean-Christophe Novelli were beyond impressed with the skills both Nat and runner-up Josh Perry showed, and the incredible progress they’ve shown over the course of the season.

Nat received a score of 71 points out of a possible 90, just beating Josh as he had a score of 68 out of 90.

Nat’s victory clearly meant a lot to her, as she was instantly brought to tears when it was announced she had just claimed the title as well as $250,000.

“It feels so good! It feels like a dream, but it’s not,” she said in disbelief.

It was all love between the two finalists, with both cooks sharing heartfelt and genuine tributes to one another ahead of the big day.

“My finals buddy—congrats! No matter what happens tomorrow, your growth and hunger for knowledge make you the fiercest competitor. Let’s do this!,” Nat wrote.

Meanwhile, Josh shared, “I’d like to wish [Nat] all the best in today’s cooks as I have said all along you’ve been the one to catch in this competition and I’m really proud to be here beside you. Let’s cook our hearts out and enjoy today.”

Nat had a stellar season, and was a frontrunner to win from the very start.

The 28-year-old produced some of the best dishes the judges have seen in the competition so far, and even won the first and only immunity pin early on.

Nat constantly nodded to her heritage with her Thai-inspired cooking, and created incredible dishes packed full of flavour, creativity and technicality.

“It’s a proud moment when a judge tells me they’ve never eaten it before. That’s what I’m aiming for: to showcase Thai foods and dishes that people have never seen, because they’re so good,” she previously told TV Week.

But she wasn’t just a frontrunner in the judges eyes, but in fans’ eyes too.

The Victorian local was tipped to win the competition from the very start, with viewers taking to the popular betting site Sportsbet to share their predictions.

She remained in first place from the first episode right up until the finale.

Runner-up Josh “Pezza” Perry was also beloved by fans from the very start of the season thanks to his lovable personality and simplistic approach to cooking.

His philosophy was to create simple dishes that were executed well, and he was often inspired by the women in his family, which really resonated with viewers.

Whilst he came second, the 43-year-old from Tasmania was beyond grateful for the opportunity to partake in MasterChef and soaked up every minute of the experience.

We’ve gathered Airbnb’s from the likes of Karl Stefanovic to Samantha Armytage and a few in between.

With a Dollywood-themed pink Airbnb to a Hamptons-style beachside escape, these getaways will have you frothing at how the other side lives and now you can pay a visit too.

SAMANTHA ARMYTAGE’S BEACHSIDE HAVEN

Forget Farmer Wants A Wife, the TV presenter has swapped her country roots to transform her coastal cottage Airbnb located in the gorgeous seaside location of Hyams Beach, Jervis Bay. With tasteful interiors and a big beautiful deck overlooking the water, it secures $1200 a night on Airbnb. The chic beachfront shack boasts an all-white colour palette for a cool, Hamptons-inspired feel.

Sam, 47, has completely refreshed the interior and redid the home’s previous nautical theme, enhancing its charm and style. Perfect for a getaway with friends or the whole family, three bedrooms on the property make for a spacious retreat, sleeping six total.

She has also snapped up a property near her home in Bowral. The $1.3 million 1960s home with three bedrooms has a timber-style kitchen and a “gloriously overgrown garden” and is a 12-minute drive from the home she shares with her husband Richard Lavender.

When Sam has recovered from her recent surgery, she’ll surely be back into the renovations!

MEGAN GALE’S DOLLYWOOD ESCAPE

Old Hollywood glamour meets Dolly Parton in this Airbnb fit for a model! Located in Victorian spa town Daylesford, Megan’s pink palace is filled with Palm Springs-inspired style. Megan, 48, has enjoyed this holiday pad since 2018 when she stayed with her family and now has opened up the chance for the general public to book into Dollywood too.

Recently renovated, the 1940s cottage is a beautiful bungalow of charm and old-school flair with a record player and built-in speakers throughout the house. With four bedrooms, it’s perfect for families and sleeps up to six people.

You can enjoy treetop views and a short walk to Vincent Street, famously known for Mill Markets and Lake Daylesford. Why not holiday like a supermodel in the countryside of Victoria!

EDWINA BARTHOLOMEW’S WARRAMBA HOUSE

She’s TV’s reigning reno queen having already transformed an amazing 1890s farmhouse in the Greater Blue Mountains and now Edwina, 41, is bravely converting a tired, crumbling 177-year-old building in Carcoar, Central NSW, into a stunning boutique hotel.

Sitting on 100 acres of pristine land in Glen Alice, her first project Warramba is a three-bedroom property surrounded by wildlife and full of warmth and style. Renovated in 2017, the Airbnb’s country charm remains with added modern furnishings and picturesque backdrops of the Blue Mountains. There’s even a mineral pool out back for cooling down in the summer or heating up in the winter.

Meanwhile, Eddy’s hubby Neil Varcoe is masterminding the build of their second property, Saltash Farm, and is living on site until it’s complete, with plans to open in March 2025. With their flair for interiors and love of heritage buildings, we can’t wait!

KARL AND JASMINE STEFANOVIC’S BYRON VILLA

Karl Stefanovic regularly escapes the grind of breakfast TV with trips up to the Sunshine Coast, and it’s easy to see why Karl and wife Jasmine love it! No doubt Jasmine – who hosted her milestone 40th birthday up there – had a hand in the styling of their holiday home.

The five-bedroom, five-bathroom villa, available to book on Airbnb, sits on top of a cliff overlooking Noosa’s Sunshine Beach. Lovingly called Villa Isabelle, it’s “architecturally designed” and comfortably sleeps 12, making it the perfect beach pad for large groups looking for a luxe seaside location dripping in style and modern interiors.

The inside of the home is spread over three huge levels, designed for entertaining, with views of the golden sands, an open plan kitchen, a large dining and living area and sliding doors allowing for access to the pool and outdoor entertaining areas. We can see Karl, 49, cracking open a case of VB right there!

And in what’s bound to be chilling news for the 74-year-old star, the Dutch warehouse worker has been spotted back in Sweden after he was convicted of harassing her, served with a restraining order in 2000 and again in 2003 and deported back to his native Holland. 

“Agnetha must be scared,” commented one fan. 

COMING HOME?

According to reports, 58-year-old Gert was recently seen holidaying in the Swedish city of Nykoping and is considering relocating permanently to the country when he retires. “It feels like I’ve come home. I want her [Agnetha] to live her life and feel free. I want to move on with my life too.”

But just last year, Gert revealed of Agnetha, “I miss her. It keeps spinning around in my head. It comes back, again and again. It might be something I can never give up, not until my last breath. 

“She said she was glad that I never stopped looking for her. Then I never stop.”

But Agnetha clearly wants him to. She wrote Gert a stern letter in 1999 asking him to no longer contact her and when he didn’t take it well, she became concerned for her safety. 

And she had reason to be worried. On Christmas Eve, 1999, Gert showed up at the singer’s house. “I entered her property with all the security equipment. I know it wasn’t right. But I really wanted to see her. Then the police arrested me saying she feared for her life. I would never want to hurt her,” he says. 

But the singer claimed in a statement to the court during Gert’s 2000 trial that her life became “considerably restricted” and she didn’t “dare go outside without being accompanied by a neighbour”.

She also told the trial Gert wrote her over 300 letters from 1997 to 1999, he called one to three times a day and followed her everywhere. 

Friends say the ordeal is a big reason the star has largely lived as a recluse in recent years.  

STAYING SILENT

She’s also remained resolutely tight-lipped about the ordeal. “I don’t know if I can talk about that. I don’t think I will,” says the grandmother-of-four.

Gert has been diagnosed with erotomania, a rare psychotic condition which invokes a belief that someone – usually of a superior standing – is in love with you.

Gert claims he met Agnetha after he wrote a letter to her while he was in hospital after an accident and then she came to visit him. 

The forklift driver says Agnetha was the first woman he slept with and describes their relationship as a “fairytale”. 

While his story was doubted initially, Agnetha has admitted to dating him. “It was a very intense attention from him and after a while I felt I could not resist any more. I wanted to know him,” she said of her decision to start dating Gert  in 1997. 

They were together for two years before she called it quits in a decision that Gert allegedly still hasn’t accepted. “I got angry,” he now admits. “I love her very much.”

And motherhood has been no exception for the star.

It hasn’t always been easy however, as Sonia struggled to fall pregnant to partner Craig McPherson.

While Craig had six children from a previous relationship, Sonia longed to be a mother herself.

Being over the age of 45, doctors told Sonia her chances of falling pregnant were zero, and the couple’s attempts to conceive both naturally and through IVF were unsuccessful.

“We tried IVF and it wasn’t successful,” she told The Australian Womens Weekly in 2012.

“The doctors were very clear with me too, that for women over the age of 45, which was the age we attempted IVF, the success rate is zero.

“You still believe it can happen, and you see stories, and you think maybe that can happen for us, but the odds are definitely very slim.”

Luckily for Sonia, at the age of 49, a close friend donated an egg and the TV host fell pregnant. Nine months later, she gave birth to her daughter Maggie.

“It has been a long road, but Craig and I are delighted to finally confirm we are having a baby,” she told the Herald Sun when announcing her pregnancy.

Just a year later, Sonia told The Australian Women’s Weekly she would love to have a second child, but is hesitant.

“It’s been such a joy for me, I’m just so happy,” she said of motherhood. “I would love to [have another child] but, I really feel like I shouldn’t push my luck!”

Sonia is content with her gorgeous daughter Maggie and their bond only seems to be getting stronger.

“Luckily for me, she’s pretty measured actually. She’s seven now, so she’s kind of grown out of that phase,” Sonia told Now To Love in July 2022.

“They really do start to mature a little bit when they go to school and we have the best time just hanging out together.”

She also revealed that Maggie is developing an interest in her mum’s glam job – or at least the beauty side of it.

“Little girls, they start to gravitate towards makeup at quite a young age, but I keep saying to her, ‘you don’t need anything, your skin is perfect’,” the doting mum says.

And Maggie is turning into Sonia’s little mini-me, just look at the photos we’ve collected below for proof.

Welcome to the world, Maggie! Sonia announced the arrival of her daughter, born in January 2015 with this cute sneak-peek of her feet.

Clint, who has eight grown children, has been left caught in the middle after his daughter Kathryn, 36, took to social media to attack younger sister Morgan, then former stepmother, Dina.

‘EVIL STEPSISTER’

The bitter feud is believed to have broken out after Morgan’s recent wedding at her dad’s Californian ranch. And it was made public when a fuming Kathryn ranted about her “evil stepsister”. 

Kathryn posted a smiling photo of her and Morgan, writing, “I had to break up with my sister Morgan after her wedding because she’s so concerned with her reputation, she called me ‘insane’ online for the world to hear.”

Strangely, the outbursts came just weeks after Kathryn gushed about her little sister’s pregnancy news. And a source says their famous father, 94, isn’t putting up with any of the fighting at such a pivotal time for the family.

“Clint shut this drama down in one phone call, threatening to cut them all off if they didn’t make peace,” an insider says of the feud. 

“His grandchild has yet to be born. And he doesn’t care about the who or the what or the why – his unborn grandkid is the priority for the family right now.”

Kathryn didn’t hold back with her scathing comments, writing on another post about Morgan, 27, that she was a “shallow, superficial woman” with “zero compassion for others”. 

GOING AFTER THE FAMILY

Kathryn then came after her six other siblings and former stepmum Dina, sharing an old photo of most of them with their dad Clint alongside the caption, “My siblings are weird and fake, inside and out.”

She made another reference to her family being “fake” when she insisted that they deserved an Oscar for their “performance” at Morgan’s wedding. 

The insider says that behind the scenes, Clint has been pushing for a swift resolution to any resentment. “He doesn’t mess around when it comes to family infighting and takes great pains to keep peace among his families,” the source says.

Morgan’s mother Dina, who was married to Clint for 18 years until 2014, also tried to stop the war of words, even threatening legal action against Kathryn if she didn’t take down the hurtful posts. 

Kathryn, who is movie star Scott’s younger sister, didn’t back down, sharing Dina’s messages on her Instagram page.

The source adds, “This whole episode has been outrageous for Clint and the rest of the family who were blindsided by it.

“They have a code to never share private messages and this has really crossed the line.”

“People keep saying we’ve rushed into this but we don’t care what people say! ” Andy jokingly captioned the photo of Bec showing off her shiny new accessory.

When the couple would tie the knot has been a question on fans many lips, especially after sparking engagement rumours in 2022.

“I’m just waiting for Bec to do it!” Andy joked on The Kyle And Jackie O Show in August before admitting he doesn’t think Bec would be the one to propose.

“I’m a bit old school, but I think I’m safe because she’s pretty old school as well,” he shared.

To celebrate their love, we’re looking back at their sweet romance in pictures.

For Valentines Day in 2023, Andy surprised Bec with flowers….or did he? In true funny guy fashion, he addressed the flowers to their dog Henri much to Bec’s amusement!

Bec Harding and Andy Lee met in 2014 while the then 24-year-old was working as a waitress in Richmond café – and yes, it was love at first sight… for Andy at least!

Speaking of the moment in a later interview, Andy said: “I caught her eye and I was attracted to her. Just the way she was treating other people, she had a lovely demeanour.”

Andy said in order to get her attention, he ended up ordering a little more than he could chew. “I was trying to chat to her, so I was ordering a lot. I had like an hour and a half breakfast and you know I don’t really like that because I like getting in and out in food situations.”

In 2022 he shared more details with The Sydney Morning Herald about their first meeting. He said, “We met in a Richmond cafe. I was there writing stuff for the Logies, she was the waitress. She was attractive – but it was more her bubbly personality and how she wasn’t good at her job. She’d leave a table knowing about the person’s grandchildren or dog, but forget their order. I ordered cups of tea I never drank and eventually left a note on a napkin.”

He also admitted to leaving his email on the napkin which didn’t impress Bec. “She gives me flak about giving an email address. I was concerned that if I’d misjudged, I might receive prank phone calls. I didn’t give her “fanmail@hamishandandy.com”; it was my personal email.

“She emailed and I rang her straight away. She was very surprised; she was used to people texting, not calling. She told me she was two weeks away from finishing her master’s degree for the year. I said, “That’s a Tuesday. I’ll call you on the Saturday and tell you where I’m going to take you.” And we went out Tuesday and Wednesday and Thursday.”

It was meant to be! The pair began dating seriously soon after, and despite a little hiccup in 2016 where they split for a short period, the pair were soon back on track and proving they were one of the country’s quirkiest couples.

In 2022 Andy revealed they broke up shortly after the Australian Open because of the intense attention Bec faced.

“Being in the public eye, there’s a short period before anyone knows about a new relationship. I cherish that time. But eventually I asked Bec to the Australian Open tennis. I told her the relationship might change afterwards, and she said, “Okay, big shot. Whatever.” But there was a lot of attention and Bec felt immense pressure. One small comment can feel big. It took its toll and we parted ways.

“It was a really sad, tough time – and confronting because I had to accept that what I do for a living created the situation. Bec quickly got her spark back, though. I thought my sadness would pass and I’d get on with my life, but the feeling didn’t go. When I still felt the same after six months, it was clear to me I should see whether she was interested,” he shared.

Andy told The Sydney Morning Herald a sweet story about Bec to explain why her sweet nature captures his heart.

“There’s chemistry – those aspects of a relationship you can’t put into words, the enigma of it – but it’s her care and kindness that drive me towards her the most. Once, she went to the nursery and came back with a plant that was nearly dead. I said, “Did they run out of plants?” She said, “No, but no one was going to buy this one.” She simply cares deeply. And that rubs off on me: I’m a more thoughtful person.

“That’s what relationships are meant to do: not change you completely, that’s always a disaster, but round out your edges. I can get obsessed with work and she brings a sense of calm. She’s way better at planning recreation. She likes holidays because she feels like I’m hers for that period. In Australia, I get people coming up to me all the time. I love it – honestly, they are often so lovely and funny and you get great material – but it can be annoying for Bec,” he said.

The couple are also hilarious together and there was the time that Bec bravely admitted on national radio that she’d crashed Andy’s car… one year later. In 2019, the then 30-year-old told Andy on Nova’s Fitzy & Wippa, “Do you remember last year, when I took your car in for an early service? Well, I actually smashed the front of your car, reversing in.” Oh, and we should probably add that said car was a luxury Audi… oops!

Of course the couple have celebrated major milestones in front of their fans too – in 2015, Bec completed her second degree with a masters in communications. “Proud of @rebeccalharding, getting her 2nd degree last night,” Andy wrote at the time, before cheekily adding: “Two more than @hamishblake has for those counting.”

And then there were milestones of the birthday kind. Bec celebrated her 30th birthday during the 2020 COVID-19 lockdown, but Andy still made sure she marked the day with style: “It wasn’t the HUGE 30th bash she’d planned but we celebrated her birthday weekend in style with a 4.30am finish ,” Andy captioned his Instagram tribute.

And two can play at that game – in 2021, Bec surprised Andy with a 40th birthday to remember… or not to remember? Sharing a balloon-clad hotel room the morning after the big night before, she wrote: “Surprise parties hit differently when you’re 40!”

“When Bec met Henri ,” Andy captioned the video. He explained: “We’ve been waiting for this pup for a long, long time. I’ve known it was arriving today for about 4 months. Rapt to have kept the secret and so pleased @rebeccalharding was delighted to meet Henrietta rather than saying ‘what did you get that for? I’m into cats now!'”

Andy Lee surprises his partner Bec with a puppy

Bec also helps Andy write his jokes, and he admitted to the Sydney Morning Herald he leans on her help.

“She is my go-to for testing out jokes. She’ll say, “People will get angry about that”, or “That’s not particularly funny”. I had a joke about O. J.  Simpson and she’s like, “I’m not sure if that’s appropriate.” I only realised how much I lean on her when we spent three months apart last year when I was filming The Hundred in Sydney. It was an eye-opener to realise how much she slips in and helps. I lean on Bec a lot.”

Bec also revealed to SMH her side of their love story and admitted she never considered Andy would be interested in her.

“I wasn’t interested in dating anyone, especially not this guy off the TV, but my friend said he seemed nice and at least I’d have a good story. Andy’s got this energy where you can’t help but feel great around him. But I was a uni student working in a café and he was one of Australia’s most celebrated talents. I felt he wouldn’t be interested in me.

“He called me five minutes after I sent the email, a real keen bean. I was surprised he didn’t text,” she shared.

She reflected on the fun early days of their relationship and how that changed when they went public.

“Our relationship was fun and exciting at the start, but then I got insecure and miserable. There were times we had people following us and photographers outside the house and that was daunting. I was starting my career and doubting myself and my ability. Did I get this job because of who I’m dating? I’d make friends and wonder, do they actually like me? I struggled. Andy and I ended up having a break in 2016.

“I spent six months reminding myself: “I’m good, I’m talented.” I kept my job. I kept my friends. I got my spark back and we got back together,” she said.

“When Andy was 15, his mum was unwell. They thought she had two weeks to live and she was in hospital for a long time. She made it through, and I think that experience helped make him a kind, generous, life-living person, but you can see that pain sometimes.

“He knows you can lose someone tomorrow. I’ve softened him over the years: he never used to celebrate birthdays, he was never fussed about Christmas. He was like, “Why do we need Christmas wrapping paper when we’ve got birthday wrapping paper?” No,” Bec told SMH.

Bec also commented on the ways Andy has helped her grow. She said, “I feel as though Andy’s my best friend. We complement each other. I watch him love what he does every day. He is inspirational. He may work ridiculous hours, but seeing how much joy it brings has made me realise I should work towards creating a life doing what I want to do. He shows me that if you work hard and you’re a nice person, you can chase those dreams.”

When they attended a friend’s wedding, Andy posted this picture and gushed, “Nagged myself a bridesmaid!”

Bec looked radiant during their Valentine’s Day dinner and Andy revealed the cheeky comment she made.

“I asked her to be my valentine, she said she’d think about it.”

“Sleepy girls while I watch late night tele I’m surprised they aren’t as into the cricket highlights as I am .”

Couples that get vaxxed together, stay together…

Andy and Bec have brought an 1876 house in Hawthorn with no running water, kitchen, or bathroom, and they’re excited to renovate it together.

“It’s one hell of an undertaking, but renovations are good for relationships, right?” joked Andy to SMH.

“Taking care of three kids can be really difficult… but I manage,” joked Andy while making our hearts soar.

“I don’t see the age difference at all, except when she doesn’t understand Back to the Future quotes. My view on relationships is that there isn’t “the one”. I think that’s a scary mindset, because you might lose that person: they leave you, or something terrible happens, like their passing. I think we have many “ones”, but it’s rare to find them. I’ve always felt that if I was too old or annoying for Bec, I’d be devastated, but it wouldn’t be the end of my life. But I do love her to bits.”

The couple lived their best life in London and did some touristy things like watching Ed Sheeran in concert, pub beers, and suffering from jet lag.

They got cosy while enjoying London’s famous busses.

“Her street eat is more attractive than my street eat!!”

Romance was also on the agenda, just take a look at this sunset snap from Greece. They really do look amazing together.

The couple looked all loved up on their europe trip but Andy quickly debunked rumours of an engagement. “I’m just waiting for Bec to do it!” Andy joked to Kyle and Jackie O when they returned. “She might do it – yes! I’m a bit old school, but I think I’m safe because she’s pretty old school as well”

The best Amazon finds and must-haves in Australia

01

Mielle Rosemary Mint Scalp & Hair Strengthening Oil

$18.79 at Amazon

Why we love it: Helps hair grow in no time

One of the very first products TikTok influenced me to buy was this hair oil. And sure enough, years later, it’s still one of the most important steps in my haircare routine. My hair has grown inches from simply using a few drops and massaging into my scalp once a week.

It also has me waking up to silky smooth locks the next day (after a wash), and with peace of mind that I’m doing what I can to help my hair grow.

Our rating: 9/10

Key features:

• Infused with Biotin

K18 Hair Leave-In Molecular Repair Hair Mask

$59.99 (usually $99.50) at Amazon

Why we love it: Helps repair colour-damaged hair

Another haircare product I swear by is the K18 leave-in hair mask – recommended to me by my hairdresser after she took one look at my dyed and damaged locks and knew we had to act.

The mask activates within minutes after applying to damp hair and soaks up immediately for a lightweight feel. My hair already feels much healthier after using it for a few months.

Our rating: 8/10

• Works on the molecular level to reverse hair damage in just 4 minutes

It’s ultra-hydrating (perfect for winter!) and absorbs right into the skin so you can go ahead with the next step in your skincare routine without feeling too heavy.

Our rating: 7/10

Key features:

• Helps damaged skin

Unlike other sunscreens, it doesn’t leave your skin looking shiny afterwards or leave behind a white cast. La Roche-Posay, I dare say, is worth the hype.

Loved for its ability to deliver bouncy, beautiful curls every time, and for being incredibly versatile with a range of attachments, the hair tool is constantly sought out by the masses.

But it does come with a hefty price tag. Retailing at an eyewatering $849, not everyone can afford the splurge for a beauty tool, which is why we look to sales.

The pair met on the set of Australian soap, Home and Away in 2017 and quickly became the golden couple as they fell in love. In 2019, they had a fairytale wedding in Luttrellstown Castle, just outside of Dublin, Ireland surrounded by their friends and family.

But sadly, Sarah confirmed the pair had grown apart during an interview in April.

“I just want to say that I am divorced,” she told Stellar Magazine.

“Sometimes people grow apart and that’s okay… I got to a point where I realised I couldn’t grow in the way I wanted to within this particular relationship.”

On the Instagram announcement shared by the official account for Stellar, friends of Sarah shared their love.

“Sending you lots of love, dear Sar. Xxx,” Penny McNamee wrote

Sam Frost commented: “Yes Girl I’m very proud of you!!! It’s so beautiful to see you sparkle again you deserve nothing but the best xxxxxx”

“Such a shame as I loved you guys as a couple, but as long as you are both happy that’s the important thing,” a fan wrote.

“No surprise there, haven’t seen them together in a while. Neither of them wearing their rings either,” another commented.

Unfortunately, fans weren’t completely surprised by the divorce announcement after rumours began to circulate in October 2022 after James was absent from the premiere of Sarah’s film, Wog Boys Forever.

The final time James appeared on Sarah’s Instagram was in February 2023, meanwhile James’ last post about Sarah was in July 2022.

A few months after the announcement, Sarah shared a snippet into her life post-divorce and thanked her friends who “brought [her] back to life.”

“These two. Brought me back to life. Literally,” she began on Instagram.

“Put a roof over my head, filled me with wine, cookies, memories, (the best) carbonara (I’ve ever had!), giggles, deep conversations, self-confidence, a new found zest for life. A safe haven on this twisty-turny journey.”

The post Want to save big on a smartwatch this Amazon Prime Day? We’ve got you covered appeared first on Now To Love.

The couple met during the thirteenth season of FWAW, with Farmer Andrew confessing his love early in the season to Claire and they exited together hand-in-hand.

In early July, the bride-to-be took to Instagram to reveal she had chosen her wedding dress. But mere days later, Claire announced the wedding was cancelled in a cryptic Instagram story.

“My dogs and I have headed north to Darwin to work for the dry season,” she began.

“Andrew and I have had to cancel our wedding to due to reasons out of our control, but we are both okay. I’m not sure what else to say other than, sometimes life is hard and we all just need a little breathing space.

“There will be no farming content from me for the foreseeable future,” she concluded.

Many fans have been left wondering if the pair are still in fact together, an anonymous co-star from the FWAW 2023 season has now addressed such speculation.

“Last I heard, they’re technically still together but taking time apart and having a break,” the co-star told Yahoo Lifestyle, before revealing the decision to cancel the wedding was “led by Andrew.”

After FWAW, Claire relocated from Tasmania to Narromine farm near Dubbo to live with Andrew. At the time, Andrew admitted to Woman’s Day everything was “falling into place nicely.”.

“We’ve got a great life here,” she added.

Andrew and Claire’s engagement was announced on March 17, 2024, just four months after celebrating their first anniversary.

“𝟷𝟽~𝟶𝟹~𝟸𝟺 ” the pair captioned the Instagram post.

However, the announcement post has since been deleted from Claire’s Instagram page.
