Skye Wheatley's bombshell Ozempic confession: Aussie reality star exposes little-known influencer secret about the weight loss drug
The reality star took to her Instagram story on Wednesday to answer some of her fans' questions, with one opening a can of worms when it came to the diabetic drug.
'Thoughts on Ozempic,' one follower asked the Big Brother star, which saw her candidly reveal the truth behind its use in Australia.
'That most girls are taking it,' the 31-year-old shockingly confessed, seemingly referring to fellow influencers.
'But as soon as you stop, you're gonna want food more than ever eventually,' she added.

'Me after the jungle - hungry hungry binge eating girlie,' she wrote, alluding to the amount of food she ate after she completed filming on I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! - a reality series on which stars are often given limited food.
Ozempic is an anti-diabetic medication used for the treatment of type 2 diabetes.
However, the drug increases the level of incretins, making you feel full, which is why many are turning to Ozempic to manage their weight.
Recently, Skye raised eyebrows after revealing the total amount she has spent undergoing cosmetic surgeries in her life.
The I'm a Celebrity! winner spilled the personal detail to her co-host Callum Hole, 27, on the second episode of their new Nova podcast Skye & Callum.
Skye estimates the total cost of her cosmetic enhancements is close to half a million dollars.
'Honestly, I would say all up maybe $200,000,' Skye said at first.
However, after factoring in 'heaps of' cosmetic procedures such as laser skin treatments, Botox, which she says costs $300 to $400 per session, and fillers such as Profhilo which can cost $500 per session, she admitted the total would be more than double: 'But if we're going off my life, I'm going to say $500,000 '.
Skye is a vocal advocate for transparency about her 'entirely unnatural' appearance in the social media space.
The Australian influencer has courted controversy for admitting to having liposuction, rhinoplasty, blepharoplasty (where they cut the saggy eyelid skin and sew it together), multiple boob jobs, as well as her headline-grabbing fox eye lift in Turkey last September.
Some of these procedures, she has previously admitted, were undertaken against the advice of her plastic surgeon.
'The latest surgery that I've had done is the temporal lift - so the fox eye - and I went to Turkey to have that done which is pretty traumatic if I'm being completely honest,' she told Callum.
'Overall, I'm stoked [with the result].'
However, when she first woke up, Skye was 'blind for three days' and couldn't walk because she was catheterised and 'dosed up on morphine'.
'Couldn't walk. Couldn't move. I needed to vomit,' and what's more she couldn't speak to the nurses because 'no one spoke English'.
'I was screaming help. I don't know what I would've done if I hadn't gone with a friend,' she said.
The fox eye lift surgery, designed to mimic the red carpet look of the same name, has pulled back the outer corner of her eyes to have the almond shape usually achieved with dramatic eye make-up.

BBC sacked MasterChef host John Torode after 'using N-word twice while singing along to Kanye West song during after work drinks'
New reports have claimed the BBC sacked John Torode after he allegedly 'used the N-word twice while singing along to a Kanye West song'. The MasterChef host, 59, was reportedly singing the rapper's hit Gold Digger when he was allegedly 'caught using the racist term during after work drinks six or seven years ago'. The Sun claims Torode used the word again whilst chatting to a friend on the MasterChef's production team, who didn't take offence. The Australian-born chef has insisted 'he had absolutely no recollection' of using a racist term while drinking with colleagues seven years ago. The person who raised the complaint is understood to have 'overheard the conversation'. The production pal allegedly backed Torode and said he only used the racial slur as an 'example' and 'apologised afterwards'. MailOnline has contacted BBC and Torode's representatives for comment. A witness told investigators he had apologised immediately, 'was mortified' and 'didn't use the term as a slur' in 2018. The BBC said on Tuesday that Torode's contract would not be renewed after a report found he had used an 'extremely offensive racist term' during an evening out after filming the show. The corporation has refused to say what the racist term was - as has Torode, who has claimed he did 'not believe that it happened'. But it was today described as the 'worst racial slur there is' by Richard Osman, who added of the investigation: 'They found that to be substantively true. They found evidence that they were happy with — that that was true'. On Thursday, The Times claimed that two people 'close to the report' alleged that Torode had used the N-word. There has also been feverish speculation online for days that this was the slur he allegedly used. Torode has left MasterChef after having an allegation of using racist language was upheld against him. He faced nine allegations of poor behaviour between 2012 and 2019. Investigators said of the other eight that two could not be substantiated and there was insufficient evidence in the remaining six. One insider told MailOnline on Thursday that there was 'relief' at MasterChef HQ that Torode is gone, saying he was 'horrible' to work with at times. John Torode, pictured with his wife Lisa Faulkner, has said 'he had absolutely no recollection' of the incident and did 'not believe that it happened' A third source claimed they had found him to be a 'very rude and patronising man'. Torode was sacked after being accused of saying the 'worst racial slur there is' Torode said this week, after his sacking, in a lengthy statement posted to Instagram: 'Although I haven't heard from anyone at the BBC or Banijay – I am seeing and reading that I've been "sacked" from MasterChef and I repeat that I have no recollection of what I'm accused of'. It was also claimed the BBC and Banijay had asked Torode to leave MasterChef citing mental health problems. The BBC declined to comment on the claims. But an insider said: 'The BBC and Banijay spoke to his reps before the announcement on Tuesday. The BBC never suggested he resign nor raised mental health'. Richard Osman appears to know the racist term Torode was claimed to have used. Speaking on his Rest Is Entertainment podcast with Marina Hyde, he said that his sources were shocked when they heard Torode's claim he was not told he was being sacked before it was announced. 'This is not woke gone mad. He used I think probably the worst racial slur there is and they found that to be substantively true. They found evidence they were happy with. He said that he couldn't remember it. But that one was upheld', Richard said. 'More people are going to come out. They [the BBC and Banijay] are going public with the things they believe will stand up in court'. He added: 'If I were working at Banijay I would not be comfortable with that person working on a production that I was on.' Osman claimed that Torode was offered a year off and some training as a 'second chance' - but he refused. So he was fired. 'My understanding is that they took John Torode aside. And said we believe this happened and you used this language. He denied it. They said to him: "We will accept if you want to take a year off. You have to do a mandatory training course to understand and accept this is something we want in our workplace". 'That was denied. He said of course not. I didn't do it. Why would I do this', Richard claimed. Osman dismissed claims by Torode he wasn't told by the BBC or Banijay that he was being sacked. He said: 'My understanding is that isn't true. The first time he heard it was when he was told it.' And on the claims Torode was told by the BBC he could quit blaming a mental health crisis, he added: 'I have rarely heard a more vehement denial from everyone involved that that conversation certainly didn't happen.' Torode is said to be considering taking legal action against the BBC after he was sacked from MasterChef. Sources suggest the chef is 'preparing to launch a lawsuit against the BBC' and wants to pursue bosses for unfair dismissal. 'He's telling people there is no proof of his supposed comment. It was not in a work capacity, it was just hearsay. John is determined to clear his name,' sources told The Mirror. But, such legal action may prove impossible for Torode as sources told MailOnline his contract was with Banijay rather than the BBC. This comes as MasterChef bosses are reportedly pushing to air Gregg Wallace and John Torode's final series 'when the dust settles' after they were both sacked from the cooking show. The upcoming series' - which have already been filmed - features former I'm A Celeb star and restaurant critic Grace Dent, who replaced Wallace to co-host with Torode. The Sun reports that The BBC and production company Banijay plan to air both the amateur and celebrity editions. However, MailOnline understands BBC director general Tim Davie, who has the final say, has not yet made his decision on whether MasterChef will or will not be aired. A source told the Sun: 'The BBC and Banijay have faced a moral and professional dilemma like never before. Obviously Gregg's case was more clear cut, but John being dragged through the mud wasn't what anyone wanted or expected to happen. 'But at the same time, and as a publicly funded body, the BBC has a duty to both provide entertainment as well as fulfil its obligations to cast, crew, contestants and viewers alike. 'If they were to can these two series, hundreds of people — those who appeared or worked on the shows — would be so bitterly disappointed. So the feeling at present is that the show, quite literally, must go on — albeit once the dust has settled and all the fuss died down.' The Australian chef was dramatically axed from MasterChef - hours after the BBC's director general refused to back him over an allegation of using racist language. The corporation said the host's contract would not be renewed after a report found he had used an 'extremely offensive racist term' during drinks after filming the show. The complaint against Torode was revealed in the report into co-presenter Wallace's inappropriate behaviour. Wallace, 60, was sacked after dozens of complaints against him were upheld. Torode identified himself on Monday as an unnamed person in the report who was accused of using 'racist language'. However, the presenter said 'he had absolutely no recollection' of the incident and did 'not believe that it happened'. But in a statement yesterday, the BBC said: 'This allegation - which involves an extremely offensive racist term being used in the workplace - was investigated and substantiated by the independent investigation led by the law firm Lewis Silkin. 'The BBC takes this upheld finding extremely seriously. 'We will not tolerate racist language of any kind and we told Banijay UK, the makers of MasterChef, that action must be taken. John Torode's contract on MasterChef will not be renewed.' Hours before the announcement, BBC director general Tim Davie had refused to back him and said he expected 'action to be taken' over the allegation. He delivered the remarks as the BBC released its annual report - an occasion overshadowed by controversies for the second year in a row. Last year's was published amid the fallout over news presenter Huw Edwards who pleaded guilty to possessing indecent images of children. Asked about the Torode racism row, Tim Davie said: 'The BBC in some ways are quite simple on this - if someone is found to not live up to our values we expect the independent company, Banijay in this case, to take action and report back to us on what they have done. 'These are not BBC employees, but we absolutely expect action to be taken.' Mr Davie added: 'I think a great programme that's loved by audiences is much bigger than individuals.

The couple earning 6 figures from being trolled: Obese actor who dared to marry a 'beautiful' size 6 influencer says people hate seeing a 'fat man have what they can't' - but is now facing more abuse for taking Mounjaro
An obese actor who found love with a size six influencer has faced years of trolling online by viewers who believe he 'must be rich' to have married a beautiful, slim woman. With their most popular videos racking up millions of views, swathes of internet users have accused George and Sienna Keywood of being 'fake' and 'fame hungry' - and have questioned the legitimacy of their relationship. George has branded critics 'jealous' of seeing a fat man who 'has what they can't', but even after seven years together and the birth of their son, it has not silenced critics who are now branding him 'lazy' for taking Mounjaro to lose weight. The couple's love story began with Australia-born Sienna spotting the actor, 31, on television in his role as Craig in the Bafta award-winning British sitcom People Just Do Nothing. 'Back when I was living in Australia, I was watching People Just Do Nothing and I was like "That is my ideal man, he's so hot!" I ended up Googling him,' she recalled. In true modern style, Sienna, a former PT whose passion is singing, sent George a message on social media expressing her interest, to which George's initial reaction was: 'Hmmm is this a scam?' From that point, their relationship blossomed as any other. The pair met for a date and 'clicked straight away', describing their immediate attraction to one another. 'What connected us was that we were both so alike,' George recalled. 'We're both creative. We got on, and that chemistry was already there before we even met in real life.' 'It was like true love,' Sienna agreed. 'It sounds so corny but when you know, you know.' The couple fell in love in 2018 and got married in 2022. Now, they share a five-year-old son called Oliver and have moved into their dream five-bedroom home in Surrey. But still, viewers aren't convinced. George faces a whirlwind of insults online, having been called a 'beached whale' and told he is 'lazy' and 'disgusting' for his size, with viewers regularly taking stabs at predicting when he will die. 'People just can't get over the fact that I'm fat and she's skinny,' said George, who puts the public's disdain down to pure jealousy. 'They see my wife and think "Wow, she's very attractive. Why can't I have that?" 'I've dealt with it for years. They hate the fact that a fat man can have more than them, they hate the fact that I can have this and they hate the fact that she's attracted to this.' According to George, Sienna is attracted to him because he's a 'bigger' man. 'That's her attraction,' he said. 'And I'm into her because she's a slim, beautiful, lovely-looking woman.' The couple are unconventional in other ways. As part of their many lucrative projects, they share an account on OnlyFans - a subscription-based pornographic site where users can make money by uploading adult content. Starring in adult videos together, the couple charge $15 a month for a glimpse into their intimate life. George has been called a 'beached whale' and told he is 'lazy' and 'disgusting' for his size, with viewers regularly taking stabs at predicting when he will die (George after weight loss) Their activity on the site has added to the vitriol of hatred directed at the parents. But the couple feel they have profited from the negativity, with George saying: 'We afford this house and these cars because we make over six figures a year getting trolled.' George now funds his lifestyle in part through online sponsorships which see him endorse products in exchange for payment. Selling tech products and running livestreams on his account, George claims to have made as much as £30,000 a month through social media. He said: 'We've made so much more money from social media than we ever thought we would make.' Interestingly, though, the pair don't advertise their OnlyFans page on their social media channels. Although platforms such as TikTok and Instagram ban explicit promotion of OnlyFans accounts, members use 'funnels' by directing potential customers to an external link. And while Sienna's Instagram does have a link to the page, her social media image is that of a normal, loving mother with a young child. She has previously spoken online of her 'shame and embarrassment' about making money from social media, television appearances, magazine spreads and even getting her wedding paid for by a TV channel. Sienna has also previously questioned why bigger actors are never cast as romantic interests in love stories, while George joked he 'just wants to do a sex scene.' The couple seem comfortable in their chosen career path, but since the start of their relationship, George has rapidly gained weight. He reached a point where he had to pay for taxis everywhere due to his inability to walk long distances. When the father became pre-diabetic and was struggling to walk upstairs, he began taking the weight loss drug Mounjaro. Before turning to the jab, he was drinking up to five cans of Coca-Cola a day and often eating a full pizza and garlic bread in the evenings. In August, 2024, he started taking the medication from a private online pharmacy that offered it to him for free, and he has since lost up to two pounds a week. Now, six stone down, George's sugar cravings have gone and he only eats one main daily meal, often skipping breakfast entirely. George started taking weight loss jabs when he reached a point where he had to pay for taxis everywhere due to his inability to walk long distances (after weight loss) He said his food shop has seen 'less overspending on junk food' thanks to his lack of appetite and he no longer splashes out as much on taxis. But the content creator has received negativity online from critics who say he is 'cheating' by taking the medication. George and Sienna respond to hate comments in their typical, sarcastic way. Posing for a video, George claps back at critics who insist they 'can't see' any weight loss despite his claims. 'No weight loss? Are you insane?' George roars, before Sienna chimes in: 'He's wasting away at this point.' In another TikTok, George points to his still large belly and jokes: 'There's a six pack there - look at that.' The pair maintain that they choose willingly to 'embarrass themselves' online because it gives them the financial freedom to work non-conventional jobs and spend more time together. Sienna wrote: 'Yes, we may embarrass ourselves on the internet for a living, but it means we get to spend every school holiday with our son, send him to the best school and have the freedom to work when we choose to.' Their content's resounding message is that they love each other despite the backlash they get, and will remain committed to one another regardless of their appearance. Sienna said: 'The hate doesn't get to us. We love each other and nothing anyone says will change that. 'Our aim is to encourage people to accept themselves for who they are. Thank you to everyone who supports us and sends positive messages our way.'

Newlyweds Brittany Hockley and Ben Siegrist have purchased their 'dream home'. The happy couple tied the knot last month, and took to Instagram on Thursday to reveal their next major milestone. The Life Uncut Podcast host, 37, shared a series of photos and clips showing off the couple's swanky new pad on the Gold Coast. Known as The Casa Palma, the spacious-looking house, which features a large backyard, pool and spa, appears to be the perfect location for the couple to start their life together. Other photos showed the couple looking as loved-up as ever as they showed off their luxe purchase to followers.

'So happy to say we bought our dream home!!' she enthused. 'We may be living on opposite sides of the world chasing our own dreams, but we are working towards our future together and that's the most important thing.' Continuing her excited post, Brittany revealed that the couple bought the home on their wedding night. 'Married and a house this past month, what a time! (We actually bought this on our wedding night… must have been feeling the good vibes and/or had a few too many cocktails),' she joked. 'This is just the start. Can't wait to show you more! We love it.' The celebratory post was met with a flurry of congratulations from friends and followers. 'So stunning. Congratulations on another huge milestone,' one commented, echoing the sentiment of many. 'So happy to say we bought our dream home!!' she enthused.

We will wait to do the big reveal.' Ben also took a subtle dig at Mitch, writing, 'Debating if a jetski might be better in that room.' However, Brittany's excitement was short-lived, with the podcaster later revealing that she will not be able to move into the new digs just yet.

While Brittany offered no reason for the sudden change of plans, she added that the home will definitely be put to work. 'I'll take you along the journey but sharing this now because this space will be available for photo shoots soon,' she said. Brittany married Ben in a luxe ceremony in Bali last month. The wedding took place at Pandawa Cliff Estate, which promises a 'dramatic and romantic clifftop setting overlooking the Indian Ocean', and stunning views of Bali's Bukit Peninsula. She was every bit the blushing bride on her big day, walking down the aisle in a strapless dress by Steven Khalil which featured a lace corset with a dramatic long train. Brittany and Ben gave followers a glimpse into the nuptials, sharing a duo of loved-up snaps from the big day on Instagram. One showed Ben romantically embracing his new bride as he leaned in for a newlywed kiss. The second showed the happy couple beaming as they held hands and hugged each other close.
