Farmer Wants A Wife star exposes secret about filming with host Natalie Gruzlewski
Speaking to Yahoo Lifestyle, Olivia revealed her favourite part about appearing in Tuesday night's episode was sitting down and chatting with the show's host Natalie Gruzlewski.
'It was actually nice filming with Nat, because when we were filming previously with Sam [Armytage] and Nat, they're working. They're not talking to us,' she said.
She went on to say that fans are given the impression the hosts are close with the participants, but often that isn't the case behind the cameras.
'I think the mirage of them being heavily involved in knowing us has failed, because you actually don't get to chat with them much,' she said.

'So I think when Nat came for the visit to the farm, when we hung out there for the day, it was the most time that we actually got to catch up. So that was nice,' she added.
Matt and Olivia welcomed their first child Henry in August last year, shocking fans after keeping the pregnancy tightly under wraps.
The reality TV stars shared the unexpected photo to Instagram.
It captured them tenderly cradling their newborn and captioned it with some heartfelt words.
'286 days of carrying you, eight hours of labour without pain relief, and what has felt like a lifetime of waiting... Our little bubba entered our little family happy and healthy,' they began.
'Thank you to our close friends/family/baggy clothes (haha) for helping us to enjoy this wonderful experience privately and with so much unconditional support.'
They added they would now be taking a break from social media to 'settle into parenthood' and that they would provide more updates when they were ready.
In 2023, Farmer Matt sparked backlash on the show after he chose Olivia over his other love interest Annabelle.
Irate viewers were vocal in their opinion the latter suited him better - This meant a few feathers were ruffled when he finally declared his love for Olivia and she reciprocated.
During one episode, before the finale, drama famously ensued at Farmer Matt's dinner table as love rivals Annabelle and Olivia argued over 'alone time' with the hunk.
Annabelle became jealous when Olivia told her she and Matt often enjoyed a cup of tea together once she went to bed back at the farm.
However, Matt and Olivia previously revealed they were still going strong by sharing a picture of them together on the farm with a working dog and the sweet caption: 'Forever smiling with you (and Neville).'

Australian PM Anthony Albanese channels his inner Gen Z: ‘Delulu with no solulu'
Resurfaced footage shows Australian prime minister Anthony Albanese channelling his inner Gen Z by using a popular slang word that has just been added to the Cambridge Dictionary in parliament. Appearing on the Happy Hour with Lucy and Nikki Podcast in March 2025, Mr Albanese was dared by the hosts to use the phrase 'delulu' in parliament, which he followed through with soon after. He told the speaker that the Coalition were 'delulu with no solulu' when discussing his rivals' energy and economic plan, which resulted in a mix of laughs and cheers from the chamber. On Monday (18 August), 'delulu', a play on the word delusion, was added to the Cambridge Dictionary, as part of a massive update which has seen approximately 6,000 new words added.

Rachel Frederickson's shock 155lb weight loss on The Biggest Loser is revisited in new Netflix series
Rachel Frederickson astounded television audiences when she won The Biggest Loser competition in 2014. The contestant had gone from 260lbs to a very slim 105lbs - that is an amazing 155lb weight loss. Now the show is being revisited in season one of the Netflix series Fit for TV: The Reality of The Biggest Loser which kicked off on August 15. It is a three-part documentary that is taking a closer look at how the series worked. Part of the series has focused on Frederickson's shocking weight loss. Fans went wild over her 'after' image because they thought she was 'underweight.' The Netflix show also explored how trainers Bob Harper and Jillian Michaels were put off by the drastic weight loss. 'Rachel came out, and she had lost so much weight, it was … shocking,' Harper said. 'Jillian and I were just in horror.' The television show, which ran from 2004-2016 on NBC, and had a one year reboot in 2020, came under fire for what some consider extreme methods used to help contestants shed weight. It was claimed that some behind-the-scenes people wanted contestants to consume only 800 calories a day while working out eight hours a day. Turns out Frederickson - who was a favorite on the series - is doing very well these days. She's currently a customer insights and analytics manager for Land O'Lakes. Before the gig, she earned a Bachelor's Degree in Logistics, Materials and Supply Chain Management from the University of Minnesota in 2020. Frederickson, 35, qualified for The Biggest Loser by tipping the scales at 260 lbs., but was soon showing a loss at each weekly weigh in. The former high school swimming champ shared in a 2014 Today essay after her victory that she had gained the weight after falling in love and moving to Germany with a foreign exchange student. 'Fast forward to a lonely, overweight girl,' Frederickson, who was working as a voice actor at the time wrote. The competition show has since come under controversy for what some consider extreme methods to help the contestants lose weight Frederickson said she lost the weight by sticking to a strict 1600 calorie diet 'I spent most days alone working from my home vocal studio. A job I loved, but loneliness I hated. I made a decision to start fighting for myself again.' Frederickson has shared she lost 155 pounds, 56-percent of her body weight, by following a strict 1600 calorie a day diet. Attending three to four exercise classes a day, including Zumba and spin, helped her win the $250,000 prize Frederickson told People at the time. Frederickson's big reveal created a lot of online controversy, with many viewers commenting she had become too thin. In an appearance on Thomas DeLauer's podcast in 2024, former The Biggest Loser trainer Jillian Michaels spoke out about her decision to leave the show. 'She was unhealthily thin, to say the least,' Michaels said. 'When Rachel Frederickson walked down that stage looking dangerously unhealthy, I quit permanently.' In her post-win essay for Today, Frederickson had a different take. 'When I stood on stage at the live finale, I had never felt stronger,' she explained. 'I had accomplished everything I wanted to do. I was extremely proud of myself.' However, those feelings soon disappeared due to the comments over her weight loss controversy. 'People tried to bring me down and (privately) succeeded,' she said. Comments that she had lost too much weight hurt her. 'People tried to bring me down and (privately) succeeded,' she said, adding, 'I found strength in this struggle and I am listening to my own voice again!'; Pictured in 2014 Frederickson concluded her 2014 essay with, 'There will always be other voices in life. The trouble comes when you stop listening to your own... I found strength in this struggle and I am listening to my own voice again!' In 2016 and 2017, The New York Times ran several articles reporting on how difficult it was for The Biggest Loser contestants to maintain their weigh loss after returning to their regular lives. According to Dr. Kevin Hall, who was a metabolism at the National Institute for Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases at the time, studied the after effects, and found the body's metabolism slows down a lot during weight loss as it fights to maintain the status quo. 'It is frightening and amazing,' he told the publication. 'I am just blown away.' In a paper published in 2017, Hall found that following a diet and 80 minutes a day of moderate exercise such as walking or 35 minutes of vigorous exercise such as running would keep the weight from creeping back on. It is unclear if Frederickson has maintained her weight loss. She is not on social media and her LinkedIn profile does not include a photo of herself. The voice actor left the business and started a T-shirt business in 2015, and went on to get a degree in logistics, materials and supply chain management from the University of Minnesota in 2020.

Urgent ‘hairline SOS' warning from expert who's seen more bald spots than ever caused by a style she begs women to stop
A HAIRDRESSER has shared an urgent 'hairline SOS' warning. So if you want to ensure your locks look healthy and don't get damaged easily, then you've come to the right place and will need to take notes. 4 4 4 Marlie, a hair colourist and mother from Tahmoor, Australia, took to social media to reveal the very popular but incredibly damaging hairstyle she is 'begging' women to avoid. According to this stylist, the much-loved slick back look, whether that's a slick back bun or a slick back ponytail, is causing more bald spots than ever before. It's is a viral hairstyle that's taken not only the fashion world, but the red carpet, by storm. With huge celebs such as Hailey Bieber, Maya Jama and Molly-Mae Hague all showing off their sleek buns, which are often secured down with lots of hairspray, gel or mousse, the on-trend look has shown no signs of disappearing off the radar any time soon. But if you love the slick back look, you may want to think twice about the damage it can cause. Alongside her short 'hairline SOS' clip, the blonde beauty said: 'Stop with the slick backs - I am seeing more tension alopecia now than I ever have in my entire career. 'If you are tying your hair up [in a slick back style] every single day, you are going to pull the hair out from around your hairline. 'It's so bad for your hair and your scalp health.' Sharing her advice on what to do instead, the pro continued: 'Alternatively, use a scrunchie or a claw clip - they don't have as much tension and it's so much better for your hair and your scalp.' Clearly concerned about the damage such slick back hairstyles can cause, Marlie sternly advised: 'Give it up.' Marlie's TikTok clip, which was posted under the username @ hairbymarlieau, has clearly left many open-mouthed, as it has quickly racked up 164,400 views. Not only this, but it's also amassed 1,861 likes, 131 comments and 2,144 shares. Many beauty fans confessed to feeling 'attacked' by the expert's concerns, but others were incredibly thankful for her advice. Stop with the slick backs - I am seeing more tension alopecia now than I ever have in my entire career Marlie One person said: 'I feel attacked, but agree.' Another added: 'This was me! I used to wear a high ponytail everyday and started getting a bald thinning patch in the elastic area. Now I use loose scrunchies or low less tight ponytails and also wear my hair out to give it a break.' A third commented: ' 51 and this is so true. Years of wearing my hair in a high bun has done so much damage.' Everything you need to know about hair loss Marie Nieuwoudt, a Group Education Manager at CLOUD NINE told Fabulous everything you need to know regarding hair loss. What are the common causes of hair loss? Marie explained: "There are so many reasons why someone may face hair loss. "The number one reason is usually hormonal changes or underlying health conditions (like thyroid conditions), and stress of course also plays a big part in changes to your hair health. "But another very common day-to-day cause is excessive damage to your hair created by mistakes in your styling routines – and this a big one to be aware of for people who are regularly applying heat to their hair! "It's important to know the right temperature for your hair type when using styling tools, as this is essential in reducing unintentional heat damage. "I also see a lot of people facing hair loss resulting from hereditary conditions, which are passed down from generation to generation." What are the best hairstyles people should try to reduce their hair loss? According to Marie: "Less is more when it comes to hair loss! It's important to be gentle with your hair, so a low-maintenance style that limits pulling on your scalp will be your best option. "Putting your hair up in a tight ponytail or adding hair clips can cause stress points at the roots. "Instead, try leaving your hair down, or out. "You're not limited in your options, but it pays to be intentional with your hair styling. Using tools which limit damage to your hair is vital. "Discussing your concerns with a hairdresser or hair loss specialist is also a great way to find styles that suit your specific needs, whilst still making sure you look and feel your best." How long does it take for hair loss to stop? If you're itching to know when your hair will grow back, Marie confirmed: "Hair loss is a personal journey – and it's different for everyone, so it's very difficult to put exact timings on this process. "Every head of hair is unique, and so too is your hair loss experience. "As always, you can speak to a professional hairdresser or trichologist about your specific concerns and hair changes, and they'll be able to help you manage those expectations. "I can't emphasise enough how important it is to be kind to your hair. Most people treat their hair quite roughly, and this is something you definitely want to avoid when dealing with hair loss in particular. "Make sure you're choosing products and styling routines that you know are good for your hair, rather than causing additional damage." Someone else admitted: 'Yep, I'm living proof.' At the same time, one beauty fan beamed: 'Ok I love this! I love that you said stop it, gave a reason why and then gave an alternative! At the start I was like 'well I can't I have to have my hair tied up" and then came the end! Thank you! 'So many people give unsolicited advice with no alternative ideas and it's frustrating so I appreciate you!' Meanwhile, one user penned: "It's hard when you work in the hospitality industry and you need to tie your hair back a lot.' But to this, Marlie wrote back and explained: 'You can still tie it up without doing it with heaps of tension.'
