She signed on to be the next Bachelorette alongside her sister. And while we’re yet to see Becky and Elly Miles’ journey to find love play out on screen, New Idea understands at least one of them has walked away from the show one very happy lady. “There are whispers that love is definitely in the air, for Becky” an on-set spy tells New Idea, adding the dog lover was a hit with the eligible suitors. “Unlike Elly, who loves to be the centre of attention, no-one really knew who Becky was, but she really surprised everyone. While Elly is used to the spotlight, Becky definitely stole it and there was a bit of jealousy.” Meanwhile, Becky, whose celebrity man crush is Brad Pitt, previously revealed her desire to find…

Karina Machado is a journalist, host of the podcasts Spirit Sisters and The Ghost Files, and the author of Spirit Sisters, Where Spirits Dwell and Love Never Dies, a series of non-fiction books exploring the extraordinary experiences of ordinary people. UNDYING LOVE Jorge Golvano and his wife of 23 years, Ana, speak every day. That wouldn’t sound unusual, if not for the fact that the lovely Ana died on June 11. For Jorge, an IT specialist with no leaning towards spirituality, a desire to find out how his beloved wife is still so very present in his life has sent him on a deep dive into studies surrounding consciousness. When the breast cancer Ana had battled twice before returned this year, the couple had every reason to feel hopeful, as…

He’s certainly not shy in front of the camera on Plate of Origin. So, it should come as no shock to find Team France’s Austine is also a model and actor. “I have been modelling since I was 16 years old, in different areas – it could range from fitness products to clothing or jewellery,” Austine, 28, tells New Idea. “I’ve never felt like modelling or acting was ever a job for me, probably as I have so much fun on set. “If I could, I would do it on a daily basis.” Austine, who arrived in Australia in 2014, loves a challenge – whether that’s putting his culinary skills to the test on national television or going on epic walks. “I just returned from a 450km walk around Australia,…

Who would be the perfect celebrity dinner party guest? Billy Connolly. He’s a comedic legend that I’ve laughed out loud at since I…

STILL FRIENDS! TOM CRUISE & CHER The unlikely couple first met at Madonna’s wedding to Sean Penn in 1985 – but it was former US President Ronald Reagan who brought them together at a White House event for people with dyslexia. “There was definitely a connection there,” says Cher. “It was pretty hot and heavy!” Though the exes are still on good terms, Cher has said, “I don’t get … that whole Scientology thing.

Performing a striptease on TV, even for a seasoned performer like Patti, was not easy. “We were all very nervous,” Patti admits of her burlesque-style Monty routine. The performer wears a top hat and coat before shedding her clothes, along with other celebrities, on the show. With little preparation, she put her faith in choreographer, Todd McKenney. “Look, I’m not somebody that is very good at dieting and I’m not a great exerciser, but Todd was so good with the choreography that we worked hard when we had to, and that gave us a bit of strength,” she says. “And remembering the steps was a good exercise enough for me. So, I used my brain for the exercise part rather than my body.” FOR MORE THE ALL NEW MONTY: GUYS…

Most Bachie fans would hedge their bets that Bella Varelis would be Locky Gilbert’s last woman standing … but it seems this wouldn’t be the first time the brunette babe has set her eyes on a TV star. In newly resurfaced images, the 25-year-old was once caught enjoying a PDA-packed swim session with Cameron Cranley, who rose to fame on Georgia Love’s season of The Bachelorette. In the snaps, Bella can be seen frolicking with the 30-year-old firefighter. Meanwhile, she has also previously been spotted getting cosy with Samuel Johnson and Courtney Dober, also ex-contestants from the 2016 season. “I haven’t ‘slept around with Bachie boys’,” Bella hit back in a social media post.…

Did you ever consider leaving the show once you knew the Bachelor was Locky? Marlaina: Not at all. As far as I heard, everyone was very happy with the choice. Steph: All of the girls in the mansion were very much interested in Locky, so talk of other Bachelors never really came up. Did any of you try to leave the mansion? Maddy: No girls tried to leave the mansion – it was definitely a fight to stay! Anyone who says they tried to leave and weren’t allowed to is 100 per cent lying. Steph: What girls? One girl (Roxi) tried to leave the mansion and did. I was under the impression if you wanted to leave you were free to go. Laura and Areeba, were you really looking for…

Meanwhile, it seems Elly already has her heart set on another Bachie alum. The 25-year-old was spotted working out at a gym with Bachelor in Paradise contestant and Angie Kent’s ex, Jackson Garlick. Posting pictures to his Instagram account, the handsome football player revealed he and Elly have been enjoying sweat sessions together in Sydney’s Bondi with another of Angie’s ex-boyfriends, Carlin Sterritt. Jackson’s cheeky personality may just be the right recipe for love, after Elly had her heart broken on Matt Agnew’s season. So will the kind-hearted nurse find true love on her season or has she already found it with Jackson? Only time will tell. THE EX-FILES… Prior to landing the coveted role, Elly was in a long-term relationship with Tom Caldwell. “The best days,” she captioned a…

After years of abuse, Taylor Jacobs took her close friend Thad Gayman’s advice and left her husband, Michael Deimler, once and for all.

1 You can use most long-grain white and brown rices to make fried rice, however jasmine or medium-grain brown rice will cook and separate well, without breaking up. 2 Cook the rice the day before, drain well, then spread out on a tray. Cover with absorbent kitchen paper and refrigerate overnight to allow it to dry out. 3 Be prepared and have all your ingredients ready before you start to cook – slice the green onions, chop the garlic and bacon, and beat the eggs, if using. 4 Have your wok or frying pan really well heated, so the rice and other ingredients brown well. Cook the other ingredients first in a little oil, then remove. 5 Add the rice in small batches and, using your egg flip or heatproof…

PROBIOTICS The benefits of taking probiotics for our gut and overall health are well known, but now we are learning that looking after the good bacteria on our skin is important, too. Harsh skincare ingredients can strip away healthy bacteria and compromise our skin’s microbiome (or natural barrier), leading to sensitivity, dryness and inflammation. Enter: probiotic and prebiotic skincare! Often in the forms of mists, serums and masks, these products have a soothing, hydrating effect. CBD CBD (cannabidiol) is derived from the cannabis plant, but its effects aren’t what you might expect! As well as soothing aches and pains, it’s a powerhouse ingredient in skincare, providing moisturising essential fatty acids (omegas 3, 6 and 9) and antioxidants. It’s also been found to repair conditions such as psoriasis, dermatitis and even…

When The Masked Singer returns next year, it could be with an all-new judging panel. Sources tell New Idea that producers want to add some A-list celebrities into the mix. And Keith Urban is at the top of their wish list! “The show is fun, but it runs the risk of becoming stale if everything stays the same,” reveals an industry insider. “New blood will invigorate things ...

Richard ‘Dickie’ Wilkins has certainly had a tough year after testing positive to coronavirus and being forced into isolation in the early days of the pandemic. But the veteran Today Show presenter was finally able to let his hair – and his pants! – down while filming for the Channel Nine breakfast program last week. As he was filming on location out in sunny Byron Bay, the 66-year-old father-of-five was photographed changing out of his pineapple-emblazoned board shorts and into something a little more work-appropriate in a busy car park beside the beach. The TV host seemed unfazed by his rather public costume change before getting right back to work performing hosting duties in the idyllic coastal town, interviewing his own son Prince Wilkins and Samuel Johnson ahead of their…

The 60 Minutes executives faced a legal nightmare when their crew were arrested and held in prison in a foreign country in 2016. Tara Brown, Sally Faulkner and three crew were detained in a Beirut jail after authorities tracked them down with Sally’s children, Lahela and Noah.

While most of us never give breathing a second thought, there are right and wrong ways of doing it. Normal breathing should be quite effortless, through your nose and from your diaphragm. But when done incorrectly, it can lead to stress, illness and that familiar feeling of exhaustion at the end of the day. “A healthy breathing technique not only provides your body with oxygen, but also helps clear the mind and energises your body,” says trained breathwork and reiki practitioner Christine Heart Savage. “The key is to become aware of your breathing and to use techniques that can help you slow down your rate and rhythm. Not only will you feel calmer and less stressed, you’ll also start to notice physical and mental benefits.” FOR ENERGY If you’re feeling…

We’ve really hit it off. I have a buddy now and I’m really happy about it.”…

Team Cameroon’s Kelly is planning – not one – but three wedding days amidst the backdrop of a global pandemic! Kelly, 26, was proposed to by fiancé Koshan in February and the couple planned to hold numerous ceremonies. “Originally, we were going to have a traditional Somalian wedding this year, then we would have a Cameroonian wedding and a traditional white wedding next year,” she says. “But all that has been put on hold [due to COVID-19 restrictions].” Despite the hiatus, Kelly’s sister and teammate Ashley is adamant the future nuptials will feature a feast of traditional foods. “Weddings in Africa are huge and people go all out,” says Ashley, 28. “And the aunties and uncles will talk about you if the food is not good!

In an interview with The New York Times, Jane admitted, “He wanted to and I didn’t.” At the time of the crooner’s proposition, the Grace and Frankie star was married to second husband Tom Hayden. She joked that she needed some “sexual healing”, referencing Marvin’s hit song, but says he didn’t use that as a pick-up line. “Then I read, apparently he had my picture on his refrigerator. I didn’t find that out until after he was dead.” Jane also had a sexual encounter with brooding actor Marlon Brando, but admits the experience was “disappointing”.…
