‘He doesn’t have a filter, which puts people on edge’ With his Ducati motorcycle, rock star swagger and hot temper, Colin Fassnidge prides himself on being the My Kitchen Rules bad boy. But while the Irish chef’s big ego and take-no-prisoners personality might have initially impressed producers, his fiery attitude is now threatening to derail his TV career, amid strong speculation he’ll be fired after this series. Fortunately Seven has already chosen his replacement – with Woman’s Day able to reveal that the “mystery” judge joining the reality show is Three Blue Ducks chef Darren Robertson, who is being groomed to take over from Colin once this season ends. “Colin makes great TV, but behind the scenes he has been difficult to deal with the past two seasons,” reveals a…

‘To have Layla home and healthy means the world!’ From Layla Saxon’s peaches-and-cream complexion and boundless energy, it’s hard to believe just weeks ago the nine-month-old sweetheart was so sickly her skin glowed yellow. But after receiving a lifesaving transplant, her cheeks are now a healthy pink. At seven weeks old, Layla was diagnosed with a rare condition called biliary atresia, which meant her liver didn’t function properly. Doctors told her parents Aleisha Brown, 25, and Andrew Saxon, 24, that without a transplant it was unlikely their tiny blue-eyed baby would live to see her first birthday. “I took all the information in for a while and then just broke down,” remembers Aleisha. “It was heartbreaking.” Organising a transplant for a newborn baby is no easy feat. It requires not…

Neighbours star Jodi Anasta couldn’t stop smiling as she hit the beach in the Gold Coast with new boyfriend Warren Ginsberg last week. Taking time out from her role as Myer ambassador at the Magic Millions racing carnival, the loved-up actress looked healthy and toned – a far cry from the worryingly slender figure she presented just a year ago, after her break-up from NRL star husband Braith Anasta. The 31-year-old star remains coy about her new relationship. “I have lived such a public [romantic life], for once I want to keep something that is special to me private,” she says.

Now, after months of rumours Kate is expecting her third baby, palace insiders have confirmed to Woman’s Day the exciting news that Prince George and his sister Princess Charlotte are indeed expecting a sibling. But while Kate is thrilled, her increasingly drawn appearance is a sign she’s experiencing morning sickness, after suffering from an extreme form of the condition during her previous pregnancies. With the duchess thought to weigh only 44kg, insiders say Prince William is finding it hard to let any excitement take hold, because he’s very worried about his wife’s health. “Kate has always wanted a large family, and now Charlotte is nearly two it’s the…
