Nadia Bartel made sure all eyes were on her as she joined best friend Bec Judd and Melbourne socialite at Glamor on the Grid at the Albert Park race circuit on Wednesday evening, ahead of this weekend’s Formula 1 Grand Prix.

The former AFL WAG, 38, almost risked wardrobe destruction in a shimmering beige DZO dress with a plunging neckline and thigh-high slit.

The dress barely covered her bottom thanks to the tiny skirt underlay, and dangerously close to revealing more than she bargained for.

Of course, a revealing dress requires a deep tan, and she accentuated her olive skin tone with a tan from her own tanning company Spray Aus.

She paired her daring look with sparkling stilettos from friend Lana Wilkinson’s shoe line.

Nadia will likely want to give her feet a rest after Wednesday night, after revealing her toes were sore after Dancing With The Star rehearsals.

Taking to Instagram, the fashionista shared a sneak peek of her intense training for the Channel Seven programme.

Wearing a white singlet and gray yoga pants as well as heels, Nadia filmed herself walking to a mirror in a dance studio before zooming to her feet.

“My sore little feet,” she captioned the images, tagging the official Dancing With the Stars Instagram account.

The fashion designer then shared a full-body selfie in the mirror at the same studio, tagging her dance partner for the show, Lyu Masuda.

“A day of rehearsals,” she wrote in a caption for the photo, in which the mother-of-two marveled at her very fit figure.

It comes as Nadia recently confessed that taking part in the Channel Seven hit is anything but a walk in the park.

“Training is a lot harder than I thought it would be and it’s been a bit of a juggle to fit it into my schedule with the boys and work, but I’m loving it,” she told the Herald Sun on Sunday. from weeks ago.

Nadia, who shares two sons with ex-husband Jimmy Bartel, further revealed what drew her to the show.

“I have always watched the show and love the passion and dedication of all the dancers,” she told the publication.

“I love dancing, especially with my boys at home, so the idea of ​​doing this show was so exciting.”

Nadia’s admission follows the official cast announcement for Dancing with the Stars 2024.

Four-time Gold Logie winner Lisa McCune will do her best on the dance floor alongside much-loved MasterChef favorite Julie Goodwin.

They will join singer Samantha Jade, SAS Australia’s Ant Middleton, AFL legend Shane Crawford and Olympian and former senator Nova Peris.

This year’s entrants are joined by comedian Nikki Osborne, James Stewart from Home and Away, presenter Adam Dovile from Better Homes and Gardens and chef Hayden Quinn.

Earlier this month it was revealed that AFL legend Ben Cousins ​​will also be among the stars taking to the dance floor.

The 45-year-old football star, who has spent the last few years rebuilding his life after a fall from grace, explained that part of his redemption arc will include reality TV.

Ben turned down shows like SAS Australia but agreed to do Dancing With The Stars this year, explaining that focusing on a new challenge would help him rebuild his life.

This year’s stars are currently rehearsing.

Dancing with the Stars will premiere on Channel Seven later this year.

Christie Brinkley once earned the nickname Uptown Girl after she inspired her former husband Billy Joel’s hit song of the same name.

And while it may be a fitting moniker when it comes to her immensely successful career and quick ascent to the top of the modeling world, the same can’t be said of her personal life.

On first glance, it seems the former catwalk queen’s story is a glittering tale of a small town girl who achieved a fairytale ending filled with fame, wealth, and dazzling success in front of the camera. 

But if you take a closer look into Christie’s life behind the glitz and glamor, her story is actually filled with a series of devastating tragedies and terrifying health woes. 

The supermodel has endured numerous heartbreaks over the years, including the death of her boyfriend and a bitter divorce battle that saw the sordid details of her husband’s infidelities laid bare to the entire world.

After three failed marriages in quick succession, Christie was convinced she had finally found her soulmate when she walked down the aisle a fourth time to Peter Halsey Cook in 1996.

But what she thought would be her long-deserved happily ever after ultimately turned into her biggest nightmare – when a man approached her at a local event and told her, ‘Your husband is having an affair with my teenage daughter.’

Christie’s entire world began crumble as she unraveled the layers upon layers of her husband’s lies.

Not only was he cheating on her with an 18-year-old, but he had also secretly signed up for a porn website and was sharing crude videos and images of himself on the internet while searching for more mistresses.

A horrified Christie quickly filed for divorce, unknowing that it would launch an explosive, years-long court showdown between her and her now-ex-husband that brought every aspect of the controversial affair into the spotlight.

The cheating scandal was only one of the many devastations that Christie has had to endure over the years.

In addition to her rocky love life, she’s also faced a series of health scares and gruesome injuries – including a terrifying helicopter crash that left her in pain for more than 20 years.

Christie was also forced to get emergency surgery in 2019 after she suffered from a terrible fall while rehearsing for Dancing With the Stars that completely ‘shattered’ her arm.

In the latest terrible twist to Christie’s story, the former Sports Illustrated Swimsuit star revealed this week that she had been diagnosed with skin cancer.

As she shares the shocking news with the world, FEMAIL has recapped her rollercoaster ride journey from start to finish.

From her impressive modeling career that has seen her grace the cover of more than 500 magazines to her husband’s shocking affair, her multiple surgeries, and now, her newly-announced cancer battle, take a look back at Christie’s many career highs and personal lows. 

Christie’s quick rise to the top: How she went from a small town girl to a top supermodel and catwalk queen that now has a net worth of $100 million

Christie was born in Monroe, Michigan, on February 2, 1954, but she moved to Los Angeles, California, at a young age when her mom married acclaimed TV writer and producer Donald Brinkley.

After she graduated from the elite private school Le Lycée Français de Los Angeles in 1972, Christie moved to Paris, France, so she could study art.

One year later, she was discovered by photographer Errol Sawyer after he noticed her in a post office in the French city.

Errol became instantly drawn in by her bright blue eyes, golden hair, and dazzling smile, and insisted on photographing her.

He then helped introduce her to modeling executive Eileen Ford, who asked her to come to California for a lunch meeting with her assistant – and by the end of that meal, despite having no experience, Christie had already booked three national campaigns.

After that, the young model burst onto the scene.

She landed the cover of Glamour magazine, booked a 25-year contract with CoverGirl, and graced the front of Sports Illustrated Swimsuit three years in a row – in 1979, 1980, and 1981.

Throughout the ’80s and ’90s, Christie’s career soared. She stomped the runway for numerous big brands and landed a slew of partnerships with companies like Revlon, Diet Coke, Nissan, and Chanel. 

She also posed for a ton of well-known magazines, including Vogue, Rolling Stone, Esquire, Harper’s Bazaar, and Cosmopolitan, to name a few – racking up more than 500 magazine covers during her heyday.

Christie also entered the world of acting, making an appearance in the 1983 film National Lampoon’s Vacation, as well as its 1987 sequel, Vegas Vacation.

She also had a guest role in NBC’s Mad About You in 1994, which became the network’s highest-rated 30-minute episode at the time.

Then, in 1992, the supermodel landed her own CNN show, entitled Living in the 90s – With Christie Brinkley.

Her more recent roles include the 2011 comedy Jack and Jill, the NBC show Parks and Recreation, and the sitcom Nightcap.

That’s not all. She also wrote and illustrated her own book on health and beauty, called Christie Brinkley’s Outdoor Beauty and Fitness Book, in 1983, released her own fragrance in 1998, entitled Believe, and teamed up with Swank to drop a jewelry collection. 

The catwalk queen is now also a vastly successful business woman, and has been behind numerous companies, including a beauty brand called Christie Brinkley Authentic Skin Care, a hair extension line called Hair2Wear, a sparkling wine label called Bellissima Prosecco, and an eyewear collection called Christie Brinkley Eyewear.

Her net worth was estimated to be at a whopping $100 million as of 2023.

Her rocky love life and blistering divorces: Christie has endured four failed marriages and was involved in an explosive cheating scandal after it was revealed that her husband had an affair with a teenager

While Christie’s career has soared, it’s hard to say the same for her personal life.

The supermodel has spent decades looking for love, walking down the aisle four different times – only for each one to tragically end in divorce.

She has endured heartbreak after heartbreak, suffering from the horrific death of a boyfriend, a blistering divorce battle, and an explosive cheating scandal when it was revealed that her husband had been embroiled in a secret affair with a teenager.

Christie first walked down the aisle in 1973, when she was only 19 years old and living in Paris, to a French artist named Jean-François Allaux.

They were together for eight years before they ultimately split in 1981. 

After that, she started dating race car driver and French champagne heir Olivier Chandon de Brailles – but he tragically passed away in a horrific car crash in 1983, one year after they got together.

Christie moved on with musician Billy soon after, who she had met months before Olivier’s shock death while they were both on vacation in St. Barts.

The Piano Man singer once explained that he reached out to Christie after he heard that her boyfriend had died to offer his condolences, they struck up a friendship, and things eventually turned romantic.

The two started dating while he was still in a relationship with Elle Macpherson, as Billy wrote in his 2014 memoir, Billy Joel: The Definitive Biography, that he once brought Christie home while Elle was already asleep in his bed.

‘Part of me thought, “Oh god,”‘ he recalled. ‘Another part of me was going, “Holy crap, if my friends could see me now.”‘

Elle once told Andy Cohen on Watch What Happens Live, ‘There was some overlap. Yeah, I got ousted.’

Immediately, since Christie was at the height of her modeling career and Billy was a massive music star, the world quickly became enthralled with the couple.

The public’s obsession with the pairing only heightened when he released his massive hit Uptown Girl in late 1982, which was inspired by his love for Christie; she also starred in the music video for it.

Christie and Billy officially married in March 1985 on a 147-foot yacht off the New York harbor, and they welcomed a daughter together, named Alexa Ray, later that year.

But in August of 1994, the couple shocked the world when they announced that they were getting a divorce.

Christie later shed some info on what went wrong, stating in a 2001 interview, ‘Just because people can express themselves through their art doesn’t mean they are great communicators in person.’

Following her and Billy’s split, the star struck up a romance with real estate mogul Richard Taubman after they were introduced by a mutual friend.

They exchanged vows in December of that year – almost as soon as her divorce from Billy was finalized – and announced that they were expecting their first child together soon after.

Their son, Jack Paris, was born in June 1995, but her and Richard’s romance was short-lived, ultimately ending just seven weeks after Jack’s birth.

Christie walked down the aisle for a fourth time in 1996 to architect Peter. 

They welcomed their daughter, named Sailor Lee, in 1998, and it seemed like Christie had finally gotten her happy ever after.

‘I finally have what I always wanted – a husband who is so involved in the family, who cares about it with every ounce of his being, who is there for us,’ she gushed following the birth of their daughter.

On the outside, the couple looked picture-perfect, but behind close doors, the marriage was plagued by Peter’s infidelities – which were brought to light during their explosive divorce trial years later.

The couple announced that they were ending their marriage in 2006 after a decade together, and soon, the sordid details of his wrongdoings began to emerge.

Soon after news hit the web that they were divorcing, an 18-year-old woman named Diana Bianchi came forward and claimed that then-47-year-old Peter had been cheating on Christie with her.

In an explosive interview with the New York Post, Diane said that she had been seduced by the architect while she was working as his employee, eventually striking up a romantic love affair that went on for months while he was still married to the supermodel.

During their divorce trial two years later, Christie took to the stand and told the jury that she found out he was cheating in June 2006, and it ‘completely shattered’ her whole ‘world.’

She said she was approached by a police officer at a local high school who told her, ‘That husband of yours won’t knock it off. He’s having an affair with my teenage daughter.’

After that, Christie said she looked through his computer and not only discovered racy messages between him and teenager Diana, but also came across his $3,000-a-month subscription to a porn site.

She told the court that she was horrified to find that he had used his computer webcam to record himself masturbating and had uploaded naked photos of himself to the site.

‘It was not [only] a voyeur site. It was a meeting site,’ she added. ‘It was more than I could bear.’

The divorce was ultimately settled in 2012 after a multi-year-long court battle. Christie had to pay Peter $2.1 million but was given full custody of their daughter and got to keep their whopping 18 properties – which likely added up to more than $2.1 million.

Peter later spoke about the affair to ABC News, stating, ‘I was seeking a connection I could not find in my own marriage. 

‘I think the emotional aspect of our lives had changed. I think we were both feeling more like we were living with a brother and sister than a life partner.

‘I think I just suddenly realized when I was getting attention from someone else that this is something that is missing in my life.’

When asked to expand further on what was ‘missing’ from his marriage to Christie, he added, ‘I wanted a little acknowledgement, a little attention, a little thank you every now and then for my efforts, for the amount of time I took to care for her and my family, for the wealth I was building.

‘Just the tremendous amount of work I was putting into my family. My world became her world. It had to be that way.

‘There came a time when I pulled up [to] the driveway to the home that I found, that I built, that I lived in, and I felt like I was a guest in someone else’s life.’

Christie went on to date singer John Mellencamp in 2015, but they split after one year together.

Since then, she hasn’t been linked to anyone, but in 2022, she admitted to Hello! that while she was not ‘looking for romance’ she hadn’t given up on finding love.

She also confessed at the time that her friends had just ‘set her up’ on a blind date. 

‘I am not looking for romance – there is an expression when you don’t look, it happens so I haven’t been looking for a while and maybe it will happen,’ she shared.

‘It’s not very often my friends set me up, but recently a friend has sort of made an introduction so we’ll see what happens.’

Her daughter’s heartbreaking suicide attempt: The supermodel was shattered when her eldest child tried to take her own life by overdosing on pills

The model faced another horrific blow when it was reported that her eldest daughter, Alexa, who she shares with Billie, had attempted suicide in 2009 by purposely overdosing on sleeping pills.

The aspiring singer was rushed to the hospital and thankfully survived. 

In the months before the incident, Alexa, who had just moved out of her family home and into her own West Village apartment, had shared a series of worrisome posts online.

‘I’ve really been having a hard time with everything lately, between moving into my new apartment and getting used to living alone… I was crying my eyes out tonight,’ she wrote in one post. ‘I felt overwhelmed and terribly lonely.’

Christie later reflected on her daughter’s struggles to Home Journal in 2010.

‘Your job as a parent is to listen. And to dole out as much love as you can. That includes tough love,’ she said.

‘I told Alexa, “You got yourself worked into such a tizzy. You need to examine that, you need to seek professional advice.”‘

The mom-of-three added that Alexa was going through a heartbreak at the time, and was ‘trying to do something dramatic to prove to her boyfriend how much he had hurt her.’

‘I think many people can relate to that excruciating pain of love gone wrong. I’d rather have a broken arm than a broken heart,’ she joked.

She also insisted that it was ‘homeopathic aspirin’ that Alexa had taken, adding, ‘She’s not the kind of kid who hangs around clubs and does drugs.’

Her numerous health woes and terrifying near-death accident: Christie was involved in a horrific helicopter crash in the ’90s that left her with injuries that would plagued her for decades

Long before her recent cancer diagnosis, Christie faced numerous other health woes – and she even once suffered from a terrifying near-death accident.

In 1994, while she was on a ski trip with friends in Telluride, Colorado, the model was involved in a horrific helicopter crash. 

It was said that Christie and five others became ‘trapped’ on a mountain amid ‘heavy winds and snow’ for over five hours after the aircraft went down – before finally getting rescued.

She later recalled thinking to People, ‘I am going to die. Right now? Like this? A ski trip? Today?

‘All of a sudden I said, [my daughter’s name] Alexa. I suddenly thought, “I am her mother, and she needs me. I am not going to die. I refuse. I won’t.”‘

While at the time it was reported that she had only suffered ‘minor injuries,’ the model has been open about how the incident lead to many health complications ever since.

And in 2021, she revealed that she had to undergo a hip replacement due to the crash, 26 years after it happened.

‘I injured my hip in a back country skiing helicopter crash on a mountaintop in Telluride many years ago. The pain in my hip got a little bit worse each year,’ she wrote on Instagram at the time.

’12 years ago I was told it needed to be replaced but the surgery was daunting. And I had things to do.

‘But quarantine put a damper on any plans so I decided to finally take time for myself and do something about the pain that had progressively influenced my decisions.

‘I wanted to be ready to be able to say yes to opportunity. I had my surgery at Thanksgiving and I was dancing in my kitchen by New Years Eve.

‘I’m writing all this to say If you’ve been putting something off that could improve your well-being but hesitate out of some sort of fear, I suggest learning as much as you can about the process and the results and expectations. 

‘I found the best Doctor for my circumstances and voila! I can’t tell you how happy I am to have done this.

‘Now I can focus on getting back in shape and rebuilding my strength. Never to old to get hip.’

In 2019, the model suffered from another gruesome injury while she was rehearsing for the competition series Dancing With the Stars.

She told People that she fell while practicing, and instantly ‘felt shards in her arm.’ 

‘There’s a little bone at the thumb that usually posts one way – mine was in the opposite direction,’ she said. 

‘[The bone] was just shattered into a thousand little pieces, just a million of little pieces.’

She needed surgery, where doctors inserted a plate and screws to help her ‘shattered’ arm. Her daughter Sailor ultimately replaced her on the show.

In 2022, two years later, Christie told Hello! that she had also injured her shoulder in the fall, which still ‘had not recovered.’

‘I have done a round of MRIs and they told me I need a complete shoulder replacement,’ she shared. 

She added that she didn’t ‘have time’ to go under the knife at the moment, but was ‘looking at stem cell treatments.’

Her latest horrific blow: Christie announced that she had been diagnosed with skin cancer this week and that she had undergone surgery to remove a ‘basal cell carcinoma’ from her face

In the latest tragic twist, Christie announced this week that she had been diagnosed with skin cancer.

Taking to her Instagram on Wednesday, she revealed that she had undergone surgery to remove a ‘basal cell carcinoma’ from her face.

She also shared graphic photos of the wound after the cancer was removed – as she urged fans to check their bodies regularly for any abnormalities. 

She said ‘the good news’ was that she had ‘caught it early’ and that she had ‘great doctors’ who were able to ‘remove the cancer.’

‘The good news for me is we caught the basal cell carcinoma early. And I had great doctors that removed the cancer and stitched me up to perfection like an haute couture Dior,’ she wrote.

‘The good news for you is that all of this can be avoided by being diligent with your sun protection.

‘I got serious a bit late so now for this ole mermaid/gardener, I’ll be slathering on my SPF 30, reapplying as needed, wearing long sleeves and a wide brim hat, and doing regular total body check ups… that is a MUST.

‘I was lucky to find mine, because I was accompanying one of my daughters to HER check up.

‘The doctor was looking at each freckle with a magnifying glass… it wasn’t my appointment so I wasn’t going to say anything but at the very end I asked if he could just look at a little tiny dot I could feel as I applied my foundation.

‘He took a look and knew immediately it needed a biopsy. He did it then and there! 

‘So make your own good luck by making that check up appointment today. And slather up my friends.’

Basal cell carcinoma (BCC) is a type of non-melanoma skin cancer, which means it does not involve skin pigment cells.

BCC often appears as scabs that bleed; it makes up more than 80 per cent of all forms of skin cancer in the UK and US.

Ben Cousins ​​has rebuilt his life after a very public fall from grace in the late 2000s, but his patience was recently tested.

The former AFL Brownlow Medalist, 45, appeared to have an altercation with a 13Cabs taxi driver on Wednesday.

He was being dropped off by the company at Sydney Airport ahead of his Dancing With The Stars Australia debut when the taxi driver chased him into the terminal.

The pair were seen having an animated discussion over an apparent problem with payment.

Luckily, it all ended well as they appeared to part ways amicably and give each other a thumbs up.

After the interaction, Ben seemed eager, if a little nervous, as he prepared to fly to Melbourne to film Dancing With The Stars.

The footy legend kept it casual with a long black T-shirt and cargo pants, and sported some very stylish color blocking with a set of all-black sneakers.

After checking in his suitcase, the athlete carried a huge black carry-on in one hand while carrying a red garment bag in the other.

The sighting comes as Ben continues to rebuild his life after a fall from grace in 2007, revealing that part of his redemption arc will involve reality TV.

The footballer previously said he was approached several times by Channel Seven’s SAS Australia, which is known for signing up controversial public figures.

Ben has so far declined, but he has agreed to do Dancing With The Stars this year, explaining that focusing on a new challenge will help him rebuild his life.

The athlete recently told the newspaper Herald Sun he agreed to participate in the dance competition in 2008 before changing his mind.

“I’m in a pretty good position at the moment and I’m in a position to take on some new challenges and this has happened and probably for the first time in a while I’m in a position to give it a try,” he said.

“This worked for where I was mentally and wanted to throw myself into something.”

When it comes to rebuilding his life, Ben said there is “no quick fix” and he is willing to pay his dues.

“It’s certainly not lost on me, or forgotten, the hard work and dedication it took to get back to where I am today,” he explained.

‘It’s a long-term game… You don’t just do something and then it suddenly changes.’

Ben won the Brownlow Medal in 2005 and captained the West Coast Eagles from 2001 to 2005, securing the club’s best and fairest awards for four of that season.

He played 238 games and scored 205 goals for the West Coast Eagles, winning a premiership with the club in 2006.

His dramatic fall from grace was well documented starting in 2007, when he publicly battled drug addiction and dealt with his failed relationship with Maylea Tinecheff.

He was later dismissed and banned from the AFL for a year for repeated offences.

In 2021, Susan Backshell, who has acted as a mentor to Ben since his last stint in prison, told Daily Mail Australia that he is focusing solely on his children.

Sitting in a cold, cramped prison cell for the sixth time in thirteen years, Ben decided after seven months behind bars in 2020 that enough was enough.

He told her he wanted to make amends and get his life in order, and Susan gave him an ultimatum: “Give it your all, or forget it all.”

Since Ben was released in December 2020, Susan said she never doubted his commitment to sobriety and improving his community.

Last year, Ben announced that he would be participating in several speaking engagements during his Such Is Life Tour, which kicked off in July.

The tour promised to tell untold stories from his football career and marked something of a catharsis for the controversial Brownlow medalist.

Charlie Sheen almost went off Two and a half Men to show off his two left feet Dancing with the stars.

During the Monday, March 4 edition of her podcast ‘Sex, lies and spray tans’ former DWTS pro Cheryl Burke Sheen’s ex-wife said Denise Richards that she has a surprising history with the actor.

“Fun fact: I danced with Charlie one day,” Burke, 39, told a shocked Richards, 53.

Sheen, 58, and Richards were married from 2002 to 2006.

“Maybe you don’t know,” Burke continued. “So he went and did the show.”

It all started when Burke randomly got a call from Dancing with the stars casting director Deena Katz during the show’s intermission.

“She said, ‘Look, we have a guy with a big name and his team wants you to coach him,’” Burke explained. “I said, ‘Are you sure?’ Because if I’m trying to convince someone to do the show, I might not be the person. Because I hate lying. I just don’t want to lie [about] how the process works.”

Essentially, Burke intended to be extremely candid about the amount of commitment required to enter the competition.

“It’s beautiful, but it’s an awful lot of work,” she said. “I’m not even going to deny that. There is a lot of press, there are a lot of interviews.”

After being told it was Sheen, who had been going through a very public struggle with substance abuse, Burke met with him secretly at the Dancing with the stars rehearsal studio.

“I taught him a few steps,” she noted. “I’ve been sober for almost six years now and I just felt really sorry for him. He seemed so cool. We had so much fun.”

But Sheen immediately became curious about it How the show would be a lot of work.

“He started asking me questions,” Burke continued. “He asked me, ‘How many interviews should we do? Should we start pushing?’ And I told him, ‘Yes, we do.’

In addition to his concerns about the media attack, Burke said Sheen was also critical of his performance on the dance floor.

“He immediately judged himself,” she told Richards. “He said, ‘I’m bad at this.’ I say, ‘No, these are just the first few steps.’ I taught him a waltz or something. To be honest, we talked more than we danced.”

Despite Sheen’s DWTS After a false start, Burke insisted he would be “a great candidate.”

Richards, however, wasn’t so convinced.

“He doesn’t like sports,” she joked. “There’s a lot of physical activity with dancing.”

After all, Richards knows what she’s talking about. The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills alum appeared in season 8 of Dancing with the stars in 2005 together with partner Maks Chmerkovskiy. They were the second couple to be eliminated.

Even though it didn’t lead to a run at the mirrorball trophy, Burke still looked back fondly on her time with Sheen — and chuckled.

“He was just very sweet, kind and humble,” she remembers. “He was grateful. But as soon as we were done, I knew it was probably going to be a hard ‘no’.”

It’s one thing to face your criticism and grow from it. It’s another thing to make that criticism literal.

Harry Jowsey dressed as a tree trunk on the Dancing with the stars tour this week, showing off his new outfit in a TikTok video posted on Thursday, February 29.

The fit is a tribute to the hard insult DWTS guest judge Billy Porter gave to him last November, in which he talked about Jowsey and his dance with Rylee Arnold“You can loosen up and challenge yourself to take more steps now, and not just be a tree trunk that can use and abuse them.”

Jowsey, 26, immediately seemed to own it, immediately commenting “#teamtreetrunk” on the show’s Instagram account the week of the episode. He also wore a T-shirt on his own Instagram that said “Tree Trunk.”

This time, instead of a shirt, Jowsey has opted for a little more tree flair on stage. As the tour heads through Texas (they’re in Grand Prairie, Sugar Land and Midland this weekend), Jowsey seems all in on his new nickname. The costume appears to be a simple brown onesie, designed to look like the bark of a tree, with a pointed brown cap and leaves coming from the top. In the TikTok, Jowsey is also holding a small, green branch, in case anyone missed the reference.

This isn’t the first time Jowsey has made headlines Dancing with the stars tour. Earlier last month, he bizarrely ran off stage during a show in Clearwater, Florida, after a solo performance with 18-year-old Arnold. She later posted a video explaining what happened, clarifying that Jowsey actually got confused and forgot what was expected of him. next to do. Instead of adjusting, he admitted to running off stage.

Yet he is not one to lack confidence, and the Too hot to handle The Season 1 contestant has made a habit of clapping back at his critics. After a few Dancing with the stars As fans claimed the show was rigged in his favor, Jowsey took to Instagram to post a smiling photo of himself driving his car with the top down. The caption read: “Winners focus on winning and losers focus on winners.”

Jowsey and Arnold ultimately placed sixth in the show’s 32nd season, which actress Xochitl Gomez and her professional partner, Val Chmerkovskiyeventually won.

Porter hasn’t commented on the tree trunk costume yet, but maybe that’s because he’s…stunned.

Dancing with the Stars 2024 has started rehearsals in Sydney and two more cast members can now be revealed.

Former WAG Nadia Bartel and comedian Nikki Osborne were both spotted at rehearsals for the Channel Seven dance competition in Sydney on Saturday, all but confirming their participation this season.

Nadia, 38, who is best known for her high-profile split from footy star Jimmy Bartel, arrived at the studio with her new boyfriend Peter Dugmore.

The mother-of-two looked relaxed in a black tank top and white track pants, as she completed her look with comfortable sneakers.

For the casual occasion, she went makeup-free, allowing her noticeably age-defying complexion to shine.

Nadia was all smiles as she chatted with her male model friend after what was probably an intense day of training.

Elsewhere, comedian Nikki, 42, cut a lonely figure as she left rehearsals in a bright red and white vest top and sports shorts.

The funny woman slung a yellow school bag over her shoulder and carried her belongings in a large white duffel bag.

She completed her look with a dramatic makeup look and jewelry, including a pendant necklace, rings and a watch.

Former politician and retired athlete Nova Peris, 52, was also spotted leaving rehearsals with her dance partner Craig Monley.

The hockey legend appeared ready for action, wearing a loose orange T-shirt, gray shorts and several duffel bags.

It comes after 2009 MasterChef winner Julie Goodwin was confirmed as a member of the cast of Dancing With The Stars this season.

The 53-year-old chef was spotted on her way to rehearsals on Tuesday with her dance partner Andrej Gorbunov.

Earlier this month it was revealed that AFL legend Ben Cousins ​​will also be among the stars taking to the dance floor.

The 45-year-old football star, who has spent the last few years rebuilding his life after a fall from grace, explained that part of his redemption arc will include reality TV.

Ben turned down shows like SAS Australia but agreed to do Dancing With The Stars this year, explaining that focusing on a new challenge would help him rebuild his life.

Meanwhile, sources have confirmed to Daily Mail Australia that Hayden Quinn, Ant Middleton, James Stewart and Samantha Jade will also join the soon-to-be-announced cast.

Little information has been released about the anticipated series, but tickets are currently on sale to the public as the episode one dance-off begins filming on Thursday, February 22.

The podcaster, 59, opened up about the blunder on Cheryl Burke's podcast Sex, lies and spray tans Sunday.

The Los Angeles native joined the ABC show in the spring of 2008, along with professional partner Julianne Hough.

The broadcast veteran ultimately finished in 9th place, while figure skater Kristi Yamaguchi came out on top that season.

Carolla said the verbal blunder – which fans picked up on – came out during a live broadcast of an episode when he was given a paltry score out of five by Inaba, as he quietly said: 'Oh, b****.'

Burke, 39, asked Carolla: “Okay, did you call Carrie Ann ab****?” to which Carolla replied, “I did it and I forgot I did it.”

Carolla said the show's producers told him about the slip of the tongue, which he initially denied.

“I was like, 'I didn't say it,' and they were like, 'Yes, you said it.' And I was like, 'Yes, I did that?'” he said.

Burke asked Carolla if the statement was a response to the low score.

He replied: 'No, I called her ab**** and I have no memory of it, which is weird.'

Carolla said he had “no issues” with Inaba, who he said performed her duties as a dance judge properly in her assessment of his performance.

“I knew what the track was, they knew what the track was – I get it,” he said.

Other celebrities appearing on Carolla's season on the show included the late Lisa Marie Presley, comedian Penn Jillette, tennis player Monica Seles, Broadway star Marissa Jaret Winokur, Oscar-winning actress Marlee Matlin and actor Cristián de la Fuente, with whom Burke was paired with during her time as a dancer.

Carolla told Burke about an awkward conversation with Winokur as he tried to relax her during filming, as she was “a bundle of nerves.”

“I walked over and there was Penn Jillette,” Carolla said. 'He tried to help too. I say, 'Look, you're not going to have any fun there. But you know what you're going to have, you're going to have an experience. You're going to have an experience that you can't trade for anything. It's such a crazy experience.'”

Carolla said he told Winokur it was an experience “you couldn't buy” and was similar to childbirth.

'I said, 'You know, giving birth, having a child, is that fun? No. Wouldn't you miss it for anything in the world? It's experience and that's what this is. This is childbirth, the most important experience that you will ever have.” Carolla said.

Carolla said Winokur told him in response, “I just had ovarian cancer and I can't have children,” to which he said, “Ah, what?”

Traitors star Deontay Wilder was reduced to tears and came close to quitting season two after falsely accusing Maks Chmerkovskiy of being a traitor and banning him from the game.

The 38-year-old boxing champion influenced the downfall of the Dancing with the Stars pro, 43, even going so far as to accuse him of having a ‘poker face that could fool a clown’ during the dramatic roundtable discussion.

After convincing the majority of his other celebrity players to vote out Maks, Deontay was left devastated when the dancer confirmed he was a stalwart.

The sportsman lay on the couch crying as Love Island UK’s Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu discussed the group’s thwarted attempt to catch a traitor with British former politician John Bercow, Real Housewives alumni Tamra Judge and Phaedra Parks, and Bling Empire star Kevin Kreider.

Deontay had previously voted out loyal RuPaul’s Drag Race star Peppermint.

“I don’t know how much more I can take,” Deontay admitted. ‘My heart. I can’t do this anymore, man.

“This shit is too much for me.”

Kevin offered his support and responded, “Deontay, we need you man.”

As Deontay continued to shed tears, Phaedra, who unbeknownst to the rest of the group is a traitor, went to him to comfort him and wipe away his tears.

“Don’t cry,” she said. ‘It’s a difficult game.’

In her confessional, Phaedra said of the sports legend’s character, “Deontay is so emotional and angry about Maks’ departure because he is in favor of his friend’s departure.”

“This isn’t what he does,” she continued.

“He’s a champion boxer, so I know doing this for the first time will definitely take a toll on him.”

Before going bankrupt, Deontay had been a key player in Maks’ ouster from the game after becoming convinced that the professional dancer was a traitor.

Deontay had announced to his fellow roundtable participants, “Certain people have changed their minds since the first time I met them.

“This man, he’s charming. This man is intelligent. He has a poker face that could fool a clown.”

He then turned to Maks and announced, “It’s you, Maks.”

“The way you move is that of a traitor, the way you smile is that of a traitor, the way you speak, you are a leader,” he continued.

At the end of the roundtable, Maks had collected the majority of votes, with a total of ten against him.

Before leaving the game for good, he entered the circle of truth and simply stated, “I promise, no long speeches. I’m a believer.’

As the camera panned towards Deontay, the boxer appeared visibly upset by the outcome.

Presenter Alan Cumming turned to the remaining players and announced: ‘Trouw, you have struck another decisive blow. Unfortunately it was against yourself.

“You’re really making it easy for the Traitors.”

He continued: “A recalibration is in order, a team tactics discussion before the next roundtable attack. But that will have to wait until tomorrow.

“For those of you who find yourself in the Traitors’ crosshairs, it may be too late. Good night.’

The Traitors is a nerve-wracking psychological adventure in which betrayal and deception play the leading role.

Led by Alan in an ancient castle deep in the Scottish Highlands, the celebrity contestants team up on a series of exciting missions to build up a prize pool worth up to $250,000.

Hidden among the believers are the traitors, whose goal is to eliminate the believers and claim the prize money for themselves.

Under the cover of darkness, the traitors kill the Believers one by one in a treacherous attack, while the Believers try to discover them and banish them from the game.

If the loyal participants banish all traitors, they will share the prize money, but if a traitor or traitors make it to the end, they will steal all the money.

Kyle Richards celebrated her 55th birthday on a beach at a resort in Punta Mita, Mexico, on Thursday, accompanied by her rumored love interest Morgan Wade.

The Bravo star has been linked to country singer since announcing her divorce from estranged husband Mauricio Umansky, 53, last July; the breakup played out this season on The Real Housewives Of Beverly Hills.

The Bravo beauty and her boyfriend relaxed on the beach on luxurious reclining chairs, soaking up the sun.

Richards wore a black two-piece swimsuit with a mesh cover-up, and topped the look off with a beige Western-style hat and sunglasses. Wade wore a white shirt with the Gold’s Gym logo and black shorts with sandals.

Richards shared a photo to her Instagram Stories of girlfriend Jenn Leipart celebrating the day with friends Teddi Mellencamp and Jana Mars Levy. Leipart captioned the image: “Celebrating our birthday boy!”

Much of this season’s edition of RHOBH has illustrated the issues that developed between Richards and Umansky that led to their parting.

On Wednesday’s RHOBH, Richards was upset with Umansky for skipping a memorial service for her late friend Lorene Shea following Shea’s death by suicide in May 2022.

“Mau can’t be here because he had to go out of town on business,” Richards said in a confessional segment. “If this had been a few years ago, I would have really relied on him on a night like tonight.”

Compounding the emotional situation, Richards said her late friend told her two days before her death, “Always appreciate your marriage.”

Richards said she felt like she was abandoning her late friend because of her relationship problems with Umansky.

Another point of contention between Richards and Umansky concerned her anger over the flood of women sending him direct messages via social media – and what signals he may have been sending to encourage the clandestine communication.

“I had an argument with Mo about that,” she said. ‘I hate that stuff. Liking people’s photos, following people, you don’t do that.’

In a confessional segment, Richards opened up about the DMs, and the shamelessness of the women who sent them, fully aware that he was a married man.

‘Mo gets a lot of DMs from women; they don’t care that he’s married,” Richards said. ‘And they are always the aggressor. And it makes you realize that there really are a lot of fucking holes.”

Also on Wednesday’s RHOBH, Richards told her co-stars that she would be open to dating another woman, and asked them if they would do the same.

On a segment Bravo after the showRichards said she made the comments in an attempt to shake things up.

She said, “Two reasons I said that: A, for the shock value. B, because I’m at a place in my life where I don’t know. I have no judgment whatsoever.’

Richards appeared on Amazon Live on Tuesday and said that Wade is “not happy with” the media attention that comes with her friendship.

Wade “just wanted to make music and suddenly she was in a world of gossip and tabloids and travel and having paparazzi pictures taken of her,” Richards said. “She just wants to make music and suddenly I felt a lot of guilt, you know, for putting her in this position.

Richards had started “dating country singer” Wade in the wake of her divorce from Umansky, and they “reportedly have matching heart tattoos.” TMZ reported in July.

In August, Richards appeared as Wade’s love interest in the music video for her song Fall in Love with Me, in which they were seen in a hot tub and almost kissed.

Richards and Umansky released a statement on Instagram on July 3 denying they were divorced but not denying they were splitting up.

It read: ‘Regarding the news that came out about us today… All claims about our divorce are untrue. But yes, we have had a tough year. The most challenging of our marriage. But we both love and respect each other immensely. Nothing wrong was done by anyone.”

They continued, “Although we are in the public eye, we ask to be able to resolve our issues privately. While it may be entertaining to speculate, please do not concoct false stories to fit into an otherwise salacious narrative.”

They concluded by saying, “Thank you for the love and support,” as they signed the letter, Kyle and Mauricio.

Richards told DailyMail.com last month that she and Umansky remain “good friends” after their divorce because their children are their “biggest concern” going forward.

“We love each other, so we’re very happy on that level,” she said. ‘I think that’s why people are confused and sometimes wonder if it’s true that we’re divorced.

‘It’s even hard for me to believe that we are too, so I can understand it. But in a way we are lucky, we don’t argue, we can have a calm atmosphere in the house and give each other that space.’

The timing of the split came about a year and a half after the duo celebrated a wedding milestone with their 25th wedding anniversary.

“It means so much, and it’s something we’re both incredibly proud of,” Richards told Bravo Insider in November 2021. ‘And for me it is one of my greatest achievements. I mean, I think it’s refreshing that in this town, being married for 25 years is a really big deal. And we are very proud that we are a good role model for our daughters.’

Richards stepped into the spotlight in 2010 when she was one of the leads on Bravo’s The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.

The cast also included her sister Kim Richards, Adrienne Maloof, Camille Grammer, Taylor Armstrong and Lisa Vanderpump.

Ten seasons later, only Kyle remains on the popular reality series (while Vanderpump has had huge success with its own spin-off Vanderpump Rules).

The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills airs on Bravo Wednesdays at 8/7c.
