MAFS BOMBSHELL: A behind the scenes producer on Married At First Sight has been unceremoniously dumped from the show. Nine Network executives gave Mark Rundle his marching orders after he tried to do something entirely unheard of on MAFS – matching a couple who might actually be well suited to each other. “This is a direct breach of our tried-and-tested formula of pairing contestants with wildly incompatible partners for maximum on-screen drama,” one Nine executive told DBT.

Friends of Zac Barrett raised the alarm after noticing no tennis related content on the 31 year old’s social media. “This is an ongoing investigation,” says Detective Inspector Mark Harris from Rose Bay police. “It’s highly unlikely Mr Barrett attended the event, without posting anything about it.” “So far we’ve combed his Instagram posts, reels and stories, as well as his Facebook and Snapchat to…

SMOKE & MIRRORS: Sydney’s air quality has plummeted due to smoke from a major bushfire burning more than 400 kilometres away in the state’s north-west. “All this smoke is so bad for my lungs,” says local man Quincy Ryan. “I’m an asthmatic as well, so my GP has told me to stay indoors as much as possible.” The 32 year old says his rampant vape habit is not a factor. “No, the bushfire smoke is way more harsh than my vape,” he says while exhaling a plume of blueberry flavoured vapour. “If anything my vaping trains my lungs for these…
