She had been coupled up with Cach Mercer, and assured the Casa Amor bombshell that things between her and Harrison Solomon were over for good.
But when it was time to make a decision, Toni coupled up with Harrison - leaving Cach heartbroken.
And her mother Leslie also thinks Toni made a huge mistake.
Speaking in a new TikTok video, she said: "I feel like I just watched my daughter walk onto traintracks, and there is a bullet train coming at her. I can't scream at her… I can't grab her…"
Struggling to hold back her tears, Leslie continued: "I thought I could hold it together… I'm really disappointed and I'm sure many of you are as well.
"I feel like, at one point, she really woke up and I was like, 'I'm done'.
"She's smarter than this and has more pride than this - so I don't know what is in the water over there, or what is happening. I'm devastated that Cach was so hurt in all of this.
"She blew her chance with a really good guy, who would've treated her nicely and with respect - as we've seen him do."
Last night Cach was seen hitting out at Toni for her mixed messages.
He said: "That was one of the most embarrassing things I've been through in my entire life…
"You knew what decision you wanted to make, you were just waiting for the go ahead from someone else."
He added: "I can't respect that. Good luck with your endeavours."

Elvis Evolution: 'Atrocious and misleading' show upsets some fans
A number of people who attended a new Elvis immersive experience in London have told the BBC they have been left extremely upset, with one fan saying it was "one of the most misleading shows I've ever seen".Elvis Evolution, created by Layered Reality, was announced in January 2024 and advertised at that time as a concert experience that would "use AI and feature holographic projections of the star". It would include a "life-sized digital Elvis who will perform iconic moments in musical history on a UK stage for the first time".But some attendees say the show, for which tickets range from £75 to £300, featured no hologram of Elvis and as a result say they have been left feeling conned and mis-sold.A spokesperson for Layered Reality said: "A small number of people have pointed out that they were expecting a hologram concert, due to the initial announcement made in January 2024. As with many complex productions that are two years in the making, the concept developed from those early stages, and this was made clear when tickets went on sale in October 2024."We ultimately took the creative decision not to mimic Elvis's performances. Those moments proved to be too iconic and irreplaceable. Instead, we use AI to upscale archive footage and in moments we know happened but where no footage existed, offering a new lens into his world."They said the show has been praised by fans and newcomers alike and they were "overwhelmed by the feedback, with many describing it as fun, immersive and unlike anything they've seen before". The experience starts by taking fans on a journey of Elvis's youth, which we learn about from his childhood friend Sam Bell. After an interval in a Hawaii-themed bar with a cardboard cut-out of Elvis, ticket-holders find themselves as audience members in the 1968 comeback special concert that was performed live on NBC. Elvis Evolution, which opened on Friday for a six-month run, costs £75 for a standard ticket and £300 for a Super VIP option, which includes a mid-show champagne experience, commemorative glass, dedicated seating, a drink at each of the three bars and cloakroom access. 'Absolutely atrocious' Mark and Tracey Baldwin had VIP tickets for the show but have been left feeling "more like mugs than VIPs". Mr Baldwin told the BBC he feels "frustrated, disappointed and angry at the organisers". Mrs Baldwin said that the show was "absolutely atrocious" and thought she had paid the money for a once in a lifetime experience but "you could have seen this at the local theatre for £30"."It was a shambles from start to finish, there was no Elvis, it was just a video of him that you could watch on YouTube," she said. During the second act, she claims, unhappy people were leaving the show early and she feels Layered Reality have exploited older people and "taken us for a fool by scamming us with technology that we won't understand". The Baldwins said customers should be refunded and Layered Reality should apologise for "breaking people's dreams".A Layered Reality spokesperson said: "While we understand that expectations can be shaped by comparisons to other formats, we're incredibly proud of what's been created and how it's reconnecting people with Elvis in a bold and meaningful way."Elvis Evolution is not a traditional concert or hologram show. It's a major scale, theatrical experience priced competitively that invites audiences into the world of Elvis through immersive design, selective use of cutting-edge technology, live actors, and musicians. This is an experience where the story leads the technology, not the other way around." Mixed critic reviews The experience has had mixed reviews from critics - The Telegraph awarded it one-star and said it had "limp and indifferent offerings", but CityAM described it as "incredibly touching" in a four-star gave the show three stars and said it was "made with care and the concert is enjoyable once you accept it for what it is". And not every fan has been disappointed by the show – on Facebook some ticketholders praised the experience as "well-acted, innovative, exciting and a whole lot of fun". Another added that it seemed "the majority of people were having fun". But Paige Rannigan, who attended the show on Saturday evening and says she "saved really hard" to afford tickets as a birthday present for her mother, was left in tears and said she felt "it was nothing like what was advertised or promised".Ms Rannigan suffers from epilepsy and said she was surprised that there were no strobe light/flash warnings either verbally or on Reality said accessibility was at the forefront of their production process and "have created a detailed FAQs section on our website about any potential issues that may arise during the experience and how to contact us so we can accommodate any changes". Lizzie Ward also visited the experience as she thought she was seeing a life-size Elvis but described it as a "low quality theatrical performance" and is "desperately" trying to get a Elvis Evolution website no longer references any use of holograms in the show but describes the performance as "combining cutting-edge digital technology, live actors and musicians, mind-blowing multimedia and heart-pounding music"."This walkthrough immersive experience has some seated scenes and themed bars, giving you a multi-sensory journey through Elvis' rags to riches story from country boy to musical icon," it experience was delayed by several months from the planned launch date of November 2024. 'Not worth the money' There are multiple shows a day with a capacity of 160 people per performance which Shanine, who attended a preview show recently, thinks is too many told the BBC that it's immersive in "the sense of there being a set" but is adamant that it is "not worth the money". On Sunday, some of the shows were cancelled for "security reasons" after an attendee was carried out by several security members during the interval. In a video posted on social media, an older man can be seen being lifted by security staff and taken out of the room. Layered Reality told the BBC that the man "became verbally aggressive towards our staff and despite being politely asked to stop, the behaviour escalated, with the guest explicitly stating his intention to continue making threats towards our staff and performers."Security removed him from the event after he refused to leave the venue."Staff had no choice but to carry him out so the show could continue but because of the uproar it became too heated and the mood wasn't right to continue the show," one attendee told the BBC understands that some members of the cast raised concerns following the incident. Layered Reality said: "The safety and security of the public and our team is our highest priority, and after a thorough review and ongoing dialogue with the cast, the shows will be running as scheduled on Wednesday 23 July."Layered Reality have previously produced immersive experiences including The Gunpowder Plot and Jeff Wayne's The War of The Evolution is set to run at ExCel London until December. When first announced, the show was due to move to Las Vegas, Berlin and Tokyo after London but this has not been confirmed.

Osher Günsberg reveals why he snapped at Dancing With the Stars judge following tense on-air exchange
Osher Günsberg has revealed why he snapped at Dancing With the Stars judge Craig Revel Horwood this week. The pair exchanged some tense words on Sunday night after Günsberg and partner Sriani Argaet danced an Argentine tango to the strains of David Bowie 's Fashion. After Revel Horwood decried the routine as a 'mess', Günsberg wasted no time in challenging the judge's assessment in what was a fiery exchange. Speaking to Chattr about the incident, Günsberg said the judge could've peppered some compliments into his harsh critique. 'I tried really, really, really hard, and a part of me was like, "Oh, come on man. You know that was a really f**king hard thing to do, and I was never going to be technically perfect at it",' he said From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. 'I'm also not trying to be a professional dancer. So, you know, at least give us a compliment sandwich. 'Start with, "Mate, your hair looked good. Your feet look terrible, but you have a nice smile." You know, give us that' Günsberg, who was eliminated from the series on Sunday night, admitted that he wanted to draw attention to the 'snarkiness' in Revel-Horwood's comments. 'Sometimes you give it back, it works, and sometimes it doesn't,' he said. 'It was always going to be a risk, but you know… I was coming from a place of reality, and I wasn't particularly upset at him, I was just trying to draw some perspective to the snarkiness of what he was saying.' And Revel-Horwood did not mince his words with his assessment of Günsberg's tango. 'A right, Royal mess that was,' he said 'I don't know what that step was meant to be coming down the ramp, darling, but whatever it was it was fumbled.' Visibly annoyed, Günsberg snapped, 'Would you like to try going down that Perspex ramp in those heels, sir? You're more than welcome to show me.' He continued to rage: 'But I need you to be doing it in a tango step while the person next to you is on one foot kicking, and you're holding their momentum against you. After you!' Revel Horwood seemed taken aback by the fiery exchange, replying to a fuming Günsberg, 'That is not my job'. He then continued on with his critique despite the tense atmosphere, which had host Sonia Kruger visibly shocked. 'It was completely erratic,' Craig said, after dismissing Günsberg's remarks. Revel Horwood told the frustrated TV personality, 'You were making mistakes left, right and centre.' Fellow judge Mark Wilson did offer Günsberg some words of encouragement, telling him that he admired his determination to improve his dancing skills. However, the final score was a dismal 15 points and Günsberg was sent home.

Nicole Kidman's nepo baby niece Lucia Hawley begs for a job as she reveals she is unemployed after quitting her TV gig in Australia and moving to London
Nicole Kidman 's niece Lucia Hawley has revealed she is unemployed after making the 'risky' move to live in London. The 26-year-old gave up her role as host of 7Bravo in Australia and relocated overseas last month. In her latest Substack blog, she spoke about the challenges of starting afresh in a new country without a job. 'On June 18, I officially made the move to London. On paper, this is a totally stupid decision, and honestly, frightens me (someone hire me pls),' she wrote. 'I am risk-averse, which means my body quite literally rejects the idea of both moving overseas being unemployed.' From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. Lucia revealed she found it 'traumatic' to say goodbye to her boyfriend Henry and younger siblings. 'Saying goodbye to Henry was incredibly difficult (I am traumatised by airport goodbyes). Even harder were the goodbyes to my family - I kissed my little brothers through floods of tears,' she added. The presenter finished by saying while it was a hard decision to make, she knew it was ultimately for the best. 'It is exciting and freeing and kind of what life is all about. I believe home to be a feeling... Having a strong network of people who support you is what truly enables you to navigate the world with confidence and self-assurance,' she wrote. In December, Channel Seven announced that former Bachelor star Bella Varelis would be the new host of 7Bravo, following Lucia's resignation. Bella, who was runner-up on Locky Gilbert's season of The Bachelor, became the channel's new local host and the face of Live From E! red carpet events in Australia. NBCUniversal International Networks & Direct-to-Consumer and Distribution, Australia & New Zealand Managing Director, Chris Taylor, said: 'We are thrilled to have Bella step into this much-coveted role, becoming the new host of 7Bravo. 'As a familiar face on 7Bravo, we have every confidence that her on-screen warmth, energy, style and expertise will continue to resonate strongly with audiences and talent alike.' Channel Seven said 'Lucia is departing the role at the end of this year to explore other opportunities' after two years. Lucia is the eldest child of Nicole Kidman's sister Antonia and her ex-husband Angus. She started her TV career after studying Arts at the elite University of Sydney. Following her degree and internship at Vogue Australia, she started working at a production company as an assistant and later applied for a job at 9Honey — Channel Nine's women's network. She eventually landed a role with NBC Universal - who launched 7Bravo in 2022.
