She’s Australia’s sweetheart, so fans were delighted when beloved straight shooter Denise Drysdale headed into the jungle for I’m A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here!. But joy quickly turned to dismay when, days later, the 75-year-old was eliminated, leaving some viewers fuming that the competition is rigged! “Disappointment for the viewers!” wrote one sad fan. “They get a big name in for a week who does nothing and they are the first to go. It’s called ratings,” blasted another online. “She could have at least acted surprised,” someone else speculated. In her exit interview from the show, the national treasure herself however, claimed, “You can’t pre-empt what’s going to happen. You walk in, you do it, it’s different and everybody’s in the same boat. It’s such an experience and…

The cast and crew of Sunrise have been left heartbroken following the shock death of their colleague Nathan Templeton last week. The 44-year-old reporter suffered a medical episode while out on a walk near the Barwon River in Geelong, Victoria. He leaves behind his loving wife Kate and two young sons, Jack and James.

Nathan’s Seven colleagues have also flooded social media with touching tributes and heartwarming stories…

Fami fallout Friends of Miley Cyrus say she “hit the roof” after her little sister Noah “liked” one of ex-husband Liam Hemsworth’s sexy workout pictures on Instagram. “There’s no greater joy than seeing y’all get sOOOOOOO angry over the dumbest sh*t,” Noah, 24, posted – then later deleted – on an Instagram story of her own. Noah has been at odds with Miley and their mum Tish since the 56-year-old divorced their father Billy Ray Cyrus in 2022, and even though Noah “unliked” the provocative shot, sources say this stunt “will make it impossible for any reconciliation”. “Bringing Miley’s ex into their family feud is way out of line. Noah seems hellbent on sabotaging her mum and sister’s happiness,” says an insider. Tish only married Australian actor Dominic Purcell, 54,…

She’s being hailed by her supporters, including close friends Jasmine Stefanovic and Sylvia Jeffreys, as one of the strongest and most resilient women they know. And there’s no doubt that ironman legend Grant Kenny is just as in awe of the bravery of his longtime girlfriend Stojanka Bulic – or “Stoj” as she’s affectionately known – as she undergoes treatment for breast cancer. The courageous Sunshine Coast local has bravely opened up about her diagnosis in a series of candid TikToks, revealing her shock diagnosis, and the aggressive life-saving treatments she is undergoing. IN HAPPIER TIMES Holding back tears, the 46-year-old makeup artist, who regularly travels the world working for top fashion houses like Versace and Dior, was visibly shaken as she shared the news with her followers. “Some Stoj…

For US Lego Masters icon Krystle Starr, travelling all the way from Texas to Australia to appear in the current series of Lego Masters Australia is “a dream” she never thought would happen. In 2020, as she was riding high on the success of her first appearance on the reality show in the States, Krystle was dealt the most horrible blow. “After years of being told I had Bell’s palsy, I was finally diagnosed with a brain tumour,” the 36-year-old tells Woman’s Day. “It was the size of a grain of rice, however it was growing around my fifth facial nerve and it made the entire left side of my face and the muscles down my neck paralysed. It was an intense time.” Krystle says because of the state of…

CHECK YOUR USAGE Are you paying for data you don’t need? Go into your provider’s app and see exactly how much data you are using each month – you might be surprised to find you’re paying for much more than you need. Now shop around and find out how much other telcos charge for that amount of data – there is quite a price range. Before committing to a switch, make sure that the telco you choose provides the right network coverage for your area. THE NEED FOR SPEED When choosing an NBN plan, the cost isn’t the only consideration. Make sure you get the speed that suits your needs, especially if you plan on downloading and streaming. Some internet providers reduce speeds during peak hours. There’s nothing more frustrating…

Prince Andrew was infamous for his lavish lifestyle, but ever since his lawsuit with Virginia Guiffre, he has been living a reclusive existence after being stripped of royal duties. Now, the 64-year-old reportedly spends his days between his home in Windsor and the royal estate in Balmoral, where he rides horses and plays golf. His limited lifestyle comes amid reports he’s feuding with his brother King Charles. Andrew is said to be furious over plans to open Balmoral to the public for longer over the summer months, making it off-limits to the royal family. “The only one to raise an objection was Andrew, who has got used to spending weeks there because he’s got nothing else to do,” a source told The Sun. “During the last few years, which have…

She’s been around The Block, and now Shaynna Blaze is giving a new career a crack – a stint as a pop star! The 61-year-old is releasing her first single, Warrior, on May 3. “This track means so much to me. I can’t wait to share it with you,” says the star, who has performed at Carols By Candlelight before. “There’s just been something the past few years that has been this gravitational pull to going back to music, writing, performing,” says Shaynna, who used to make a living singing in jazz clubs at night when her kids were babies to support her family as a single mother. “As my interior design and TV careers took off, I moved away from music, but I never lost my passion for performing…

Peter Andre has revealed that his two eldest children, Junior, 18, and Princess, 16, jetted to Australia to stand in for him at the bedside of his ailing mother Thea, 87 – who suffers from Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s – after she was hospitalised. “To get on a plane and travel 12,000 miles to be with your grandmother in a very difficult time for her shows me what beautiful children you are,” the 51-year-old singer – who stayed in the UK for the birth of his fifth child, a daughter with second wife Emily MacDonagh – praised the pair publicly on social media. “Keep cuddling mum for me please and tell her I love her and we will come out soon.”…

Australian darling Isla Fisher “contacted the UK’s most-fearsome divorce lawyer two years ago” but the actress only revealed her bombshell split from husband Sacha Baron Cohen to the public last week. In what almost seemed like a joke, the comedy duo shared a picture of them both in tennis outfits, revealing that it’s game over for their “long match” after 20 years together – 13 of which they were married. The couple, who share three kids together – Olive, 16, Elula, 13, and Montgomery, nine – penned a revealing Instagram post. “In 2023 we jointly filed to end our marriage. We have always prioritised our privacy, and have been working through this change,” they wrote. “We forever share in our devotion and love for our children. We sincerely appreciate you…

SUE ‘MY DAD WOULD BE PROUD’ Suddenly finding herself without a job after the construction company she worked for collapsed, 58-year-old Sue knew that now was the right time to follow her dream of appearing on MasterChef. “I’ve watched from the very first episode and always played along at home, shouting at the TV,” she tells Woman’s Day. “Since I’m not working and now have adult children, they said, ‘Why don’t you do it?’ I thought, ‘What have you got to lose?’ so I just went for it.” The loss of her father in 2021 also gave Sue the push she needed, as he always taught her the importance of having no regrets and “doing what you enjoy in life”. “He loved my cooking and would be absolutely chuffed that…

FROM A WEEKEND IN MADRID... ...TO MATCHING BRACELETS? For Queen Mary of Denmark, last week was another humiliating one spent without her husband, as she dutifully smiled and waved while attending three local events on her own. Beginning with the 75th anniversary of the Freedom Museum on April 3, the brave mother-of-four continued to fly solo a few days later at the opening of a Copenhagen deer park. Then on April 9, she put on a stunning display in a royal blue power suit, in defiance of the relentless speculation that all isn’t right in the marriage of Denmark’s king and queen. Friends say Mary, 52, is determined to not let those rumours sway her from her duties, however palace insiders are still wondering just how much more the Aussie-born…

Newsnight interviewer Emily Maitlis and former BBC producer Sam McAlister, who are two of the leading players in the new Netflix drama Scoop, are reportedly no longer on speaking terms. According to sources, the tension boils down to Emily, 53, not acknowledging the role Sam played in securing the BBC’s infamous interview with Prince Andrew, where he talks about his friendship with Jeffrey Epstein. “By rights, they should be one another’s biggest champions,” said a source. “But each feels as if their part has been undersold by the other, and there is huge tension there.”…

Hamish Blake claims that he missed the fallout after Sonia Kruger cracked a joke at his expense at last year’s Logie Awards after she won the Gold Logie over him. “Foolishly or not, I sometimes take [time] off Instagram… I didn’t realise [what was going on] until late into the next day, and by that stage the news cycle is gone. I should have posted something and said, ‘I don’t care,’” admits the 42-year-old, who claims he was actually planning a funny response to Sonia’s jab – that the pair’s shared manager Mark Clements wanted to dump the Lego Masters host as a client! “But the camera cut away by the time I was laughing at Sonia’s joke, so to the room it probably looks like it hasn’t gone down…

Even an unsuspecting bridesmaid nearly falling into a lake mid-vows couldn’t dampen the joy of fan favourites Andrew Guthrie and Jess Nathan, who wed on March 16 after meeting on Aussie dating show Farmer Wants A Wife in 2021. “We were just really excited, and so we told ourselves if anything went pear-shaped, we’d just keep our sense of humour about it all,” says Jess, 30, of the couple’s big day at Mimosa Wines near Bermagui on the NSW South Coast. BEAUTIFUL BUT CHAOTIC “I wore a six-metre-long veil,” the bubbly bride tells Woman’s Day. “It wasn’t coping when a breeze picked up during my vows and was basically wrapping around Andrew and my bridesmaids. One of them, Emma, grabbed it and tried to pull it back. We got married…

In early March 1969, Paul McCartney phoned me to say that he and Linda Eastman were starting a family. They were like lovebirds on a cloud, thrilled Linda was pregnant. They wanted to get married as soon as possible and asked if I would make the arrangements. The problem was that as soon as they posted banns to get married in Great Britain it became public information. I was concerned that the ceremony at the Marylebone Register Office was going to turn into a mob scene, with wailing young girls and a horde of paparazzi, but Paul and Linda were unperturbed about fans finding out. On March 12, 1969, the day of the wedding, the streets in front of the register were indeed mobbed with fans and had to be…
