There were nerves, excitement and plenty of laughs when the new The Great Australian Bake Off cast set foot in the infamous Bake Off Shed to begin filming the show’s sixth season.

If there’s one thing chef Gino D’Acampo loves more than food, it’s family, so, in a bid to connect with the women who inspired his passion for cooking, his latest series sees him embark on a culinary journey through Italy – starting in his hometown Torre del Greco, outside Naples. “Often people ask me why and how I became a chef,” he notes. “[I was] always surrounded by [women in my family] cooking… It would have been impossible for me not to have become a chef.” Each episode, the affable chef visits a new region, whipping up delicacies with matriarchs whose dishes knock his socks off. He then takes to stunning locales to cook his own favourite recipes. It culminates with a feast fit for the woman he affectionately calls…

Sky Sports commentator David Croft has delighted audiences as the voice of Formula 1 since 2012. FOXTEL magazine caught up with ‘Crofty’ for a quick chat to get his predictions for the Spanish Grand Prix. Can Mercedes and Ferrari get back into the fight at the front? They know they need to make changes and will work hard to put things right, but how soon can they do that?
