WORK IT OUT Only 14 months after their romantic wedding day, controversial Seven Year Switch couple Brad and Tallena have ended their marriage. ‘I realised I’d been sacrificing my own happiness to make Brad happy, so in the end I had to be selfish and put myself first,’ Tallena says sadly, revealing the split exclusively to New Idea. ‘It was a really hard conversation for us to have, but we both knew it wasn’t working. We weren’t getting what we wanted from one another any more.’ Fans of the hit reality show warned Tallena against 32-year-old builder Brad’s ‘obsessive’ and ‘controlling’ behaviour when their relationship ran into strife on air during the first season in 2016. But the Queensland couple, who met on dating site Tinder four years ago, insisted…

While Wills would love his children to know their grandmother, he also joked she’d be one naughty nanna! ‘She’d be a nightmare,’ he says. ‘She’d love the children to bits, but she’d be an absolute nightmare. She’d come in probably at bath time, cause an amazing amount of scene— bubbles everywhere, bathwater all over the place, and then leave.’ 2 OUR BIGGEST REGRET Both…

ELISE With her grounded and down-to-earth personality, the 29-yearold marketing executive certainly captures Matty J’s attention. And with the pair both working in the marketing industry, there is no doubt the Perth local is a front-runner to win the Bachelor’s heart, but friends are concerned that a long-distance relationship may not work. TARA She may be this season’s class clown, always pulling faces and doing silly impressions of people, but according to our insider, Matty J really adores quirky Tara. However, could we be looking at another Sam Wood and Heather Maltman situation? ‘They get on so well. But the relationship needs more chemistry to work,’ the source says. LAURA With undeniable chemistry, jewellery designer Laura, 30, loves Matty’s quirky sense of humour and is confident enough to fight for…

GRAND FINAL Thousands of fans took to social media to share their outrage over the disappointing results of the Ninja Warrior grand final last week. Not one ninja even made it to the final stage of the competition and viewers are crying foul over the lack of reward for participants. ‘Will [they] win $200,000 next year then? You’ve got $100k just sitting there after all,’ one fan wrote on the show’s official Facebook page. Another commented: ‘Being such a rating hit you think they could give something.’ Channel Nine has confirmed the prize money will double to $200,000 for the second season of the show, however fans are still upset about the show’s frugal reward system. They undoubtedly raked in hundreds of thousands of dollars as a network, thanks to…

In the ’90s, Blue Murder had viewers around Australia glued to their TV screens as the story of Roger ‘the Dodger’ Rogerson played out before them. They’d read about it, they’d seen him on the news and they couldn’t get enough. Now, 20 years later, he’s back in Blue Murder: Killer Cop. Among the bevy of dangerous and complicated characters is one shining beacon of hope, Julie Wienthall, a well-intentioned police recruit ready to make a name for herself and lock up the bad guys. Emma Booth is the perfect choice for the role and, as it turns out, she knew very little about Roger’s dodgy dealings. ‘When I read the script, I said: “Wow, really?” It blew me away and I couldn’t believe I didn’t know all this stuff,’…

There’s trouble brewing in paradise. It seems there are some Australian Survivor players who have already outwitted, outlasted and outplayed the rest. At least three stars – model Sarah Tilleke, photographer Jarrad Seng and Olympian Nicola Zagame – already have experience working in media and television. Having prior knowledge of the workings of reality TV, dealing with producers, and understanding the ins and outs of the media industry will be an undeniable advantage in the game of Survivor. ‘Yes, they’re in the middle of nowhere, but you can’t forget that, at the end of the day, they’re making a TV show,’ an industry insider reveals to New Idea. ‘These people are trained professionals with skills the other 21 contestants don’t have. They know how to present themselves in a way…

How many of us were brought up with the concept that ‘sharing is caring’? Like saying ‘please’ and ‘thank you’, the need to share is part of every kid’s childhood. But what if forcing them to share didn’t make them happy, while sharing voluntarily did? In a new study, researchers gauged the positive facial expressions of children aged three and five who shared stickers voluntarily, versus those who shared because they felt obligated to do so. The children shared more when they were told to than when it was voluntary. Yet researchers found that they showed greater happiness when they gave away stickers spontaneously, rather than keeping them for themselves. Dr Zhen Wu, who conducted the study, concluded: ‘So it seems that the motivation to give does count and it…

Faced with a mountain of crippling debt, Penina Petersen burst into tears. How would they ever pay it off ? A business tax bill combined with credit cards and buying their car on hire purchase had left them $50k in debt. ‘We were just living it up, having fun and buying whatever we wanted. We were eating out all the time. My attitude to money was terrible. We were living week to week,’ she tells New Idea. But the couple’s fun was cut short 15 years ago, after they crunched the numbers and saw that figure in black and white. ‘We were beside ourselves. We even considered bankruptcy because we didn’t know how to get out of that,’ Penina says. One of the first things that had to change was…

The right lighting can have a great impact on the way you experience a space. Create the perfect mood in your home with these tips from Temple & Webster stylist Allira Bell.

Ambient lighting will make spaces feel intimate, while bright light will open up the room and make it feel…

CHILDREN’S WORLD TOO HOT Our four-year-old greatgrandson Brax ticks all the boxes for thinking. The other day he asked for a peppermint, and was told it was a hot one... nothing was going to stop him having one, though.

PREP LIPS Highlighting your lips as a feature creates maximum impact with minimal effort.
