Jesinta Franklin has revealed the odd food combination that she craved in the early days of her pregnancy.
The AFL WAG, who announced her pregnancy on Tuesday in a sweet Instagram post, took to the social media platform to share her bizarre pregnancy cravings.
The 33-year-old admitted to being obsessed with pairing jalapenos with a slice of cheese.
'Ate an entire jar of jalapenos in 2 days. The combo with cheese honestly just hit the spot in those early weeks.'
Weeks later, however, just thinking about the spicy food combination makes her sick.

'Now the thought makes me ill,' she confessed.
She also praised another popular snack that no doubt tops people's go-to cravings.
'Thank goodness for hot chips,' she wrote on one of her stories showing a cardboard box of fries in her hand.
Jesinta and her husband Lance 'Buddy' Franklin revealed that they are expecting their third child together in an Instagram post.
In a candid video, Jesinta shared a silhouette of herself cradling her growing baby bump while her two children, daughter Tullulah, five, and son Rocky, four, played around her.
One segment showed Rocky kissing his mum's pregnant belly.
'Tullulah & Rocky are getting a baby brother or sister for Christmas. The most beautiful surprise of all,' the model captioned her post.
She continued: 'Our hearts are full and yet, we share this news with deep sensitivity. I know that announcements like this can be incredibly hard for those who are walking the path of infertility or loss. My heart is with you, always.'
It wasn't long before the joyous announcement was inundated with well wishes from the couple's famous friends.
'Ahh I had a feeling! So beautiful congrats x,' wrote actor Natalie Bassingthwaighte.
'Now THIS is a pregnancy announcement,' added comedian Celeste Barber.
'Congratulations ❤️ I'm so happy for you all. Beautiful news xx,' commented fashion designer Lana Wilkinson.
Sports journalist Abbey Gelmi, NRL WAG Kayla Boyd and fashion designer Pip Edwards also joined the chorus.
Following the announcement, Jesinta admitted the last few months have been taxing on her Instagram Stories.
'Looks cute but this person has given me a rough time the last couple of months,' she wrote alongside three sick face emojis.
'Sadly I'm not someone who thrives when they are pregnant.'

New mum Ash Barty has bought a fixer upper and has called in some help! Grand Slam superstar teams up with Rafael Nadal and Aussie sport legends for hilarious new advert
New mum Ash Barty has bought a fixer-upper and has called in some favours from some legends of the Aussie sporting world, and Spannish tennis great Rafael Nadal, as part of a hilarious new advert. KIA sent sporting fans into meltdown last year with their brilliant TV advert for their latest pickup truck, with 20 Australia sports stars, including the likes of Swans legend Buddy Franklin, UFC great Alexander Volkanovski and tennis great Dylan Alcott, all appearing in the advert. But this time, the South Korean car manufacturer has taken things up a notch, with Barty returning to headline the brand's latest advertisement for its new KIA Tasman pickup. It comes just a day after the three-time Grand Slam winner, Barty, announced to the world that she had given birth to her second child. The tennis legend, who retired in 2022, took to Instagram on Monday to share several pictures of her newborn baby, writing: 'Welcome to the world Jordan. You are loved unconditionally and we are so grateful to have you in our arms, gorgeous girl.' But the mum of two showed off her acting skills during the clip, which was previewed on Nine's Current Affair on Tuesday. The advert begins with Barty arriving at a run-down house in the countryside, with the Aussie tennis star, 29, looking down at a real estate brochure showing a pristine-looking house, but the camera then pans up to show that the advert was severely misleading, with the house in all sorts of disrepair. 'Home sweet home,' a lady says to Barty as they arrive at the house, with the tennis great replying: 'Needs a bit of work...' The pair then have called in several legends from the world of Aussie sport to help them do up the house, including AFL legend Peter Daicos, Test cricket great Jason Gillespie, AFL Hall of Famer Erin Phillips, and tennis champion Pat Rafter. The hilarious advertisement also sees Spanish tennis great and 22-time Grand Slam winner Rafael Nadal make a brief appearance. Nadal, who appeared in a video call, drew upon his knowledge of Aussie slang when pressed on whether he'd come and help Barty renovate the house. He replied by hilariously asking: 'Is it a cashie?' 'He's dreaming,' Barty's construction manager responded. Nadal revealed to Nine's A Current Affair that he had 'heard of the slang before.' He added 'It's a funny thing. An Australian expression.' The ex-sports stars-turned-tradies begin to arrive in the new KIA Tasman pickups to help Barty fix-up her new home. Basketball legend Luc Longley and Phillips, turn up to sort the decorations on the house, with the pair covered in paint. Barty is seen shouting at the pair, appearing to poke fun at the 7ft 2in former NBA star's height, asking: 'You guys need a ladder?' AFLW superstar Phillips, who was last week inducted into the Australian Football Hall of Fame, replied: 'Nah think we'll be right!' with Longley laughing: 'Ladders.' During the ad, Longley drops a number of basketball-related puns, with his painting company for the advertisement being called 'In The Paint' - a reference to the rectangular area on the court by the basket, where he spent most of his time on the court as a player. 'I love the sign on my Tasman. They had in the paint on the side in a basketball keyway. They've obviously given a lot of thought to it,' he told A Current Affair. KIA have also played on the words of Peter Daicos' nickname, with the former Collingwood star being well known among footy fans as the Macedonian Marvel. During the add, his building company is known as Macedonian Marble, with Daicos introducing himself to the cameras by showcasing a thick slab of 'beautiful Macedonian marble'. 'I'm not going to sit by the phone and wait for Hollywood, but I think I've got a little bit of tidying up to do when it comes to acting,' Daicos said. Another Collingwood great, Dane Swan, also appears in the clip playing Barty's next-door neighbour, with the footy star making light on his reputation as a player who enjoyed going out partying. He rocks up next door in a KIA Tasman with the logo 'Dane's Party Supplies' printed on its window, unloading several large speakers from its flatbed. 'I'm happy to be the party supplier, it was very true in real life so might as well throw it to the ad,' he said. NRL great Geoff Toovey also joins up with the sporting legends and, of course, has to make a cameo where he repeats the iconic line he said in a press conference during his time at Manly: 'That's ridiculous, there's got to be an investigation.' Meanwhile, Barty called in the services of Rafter, known for his amazing skills on grass tennis courts, to lay turf on the lawns around the house. But Rafter never won at Wimbledon, reaching the final on two occasions, with Barty, who did win the grass major in 2022, joking that 'her husband wasn't available' to come and lay the turf, joking that she called Pat instead. They then revealed what trade they'd choose if they went on to work in the construction industry. Barty said: 'Probably something in landscaping. I love being outside. I wouldn't trust myself to look after something structurally inside of a home but can look after a plant.'

Sam Taunton reveals the brutal reality after Project axing as he returns to tiny stand-up gigs: 'Everyone knows I've lost my job'
It's back to basics for Sam Taunton. The once-prime-time star is now trading The Project's studio lights for dingy pub stages, after Channel 10 pulled the plug on the long-running panel show, leaving the comedian without his cushy TV gig. The 33-year-old funny man took to the stage in Sydney this week and didn't shy away from the elephant in the room - he's unemployed, and everyone knows it. 'It's just like everyone f**king knows you've lost your job and it's crazy,' Sam told the audience during his new stand-up set, admitting the reactions from his nearest and dearest weren't exactly comforting. 'My dad rang me and said: "Look, if I'm honest, the show wasn't for me. I prefer real news"' he quipped. 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. It's back to basics for Sam Taunton (pictured). The once-prime-time star is now trading The Project's studio lights for dingy pub stages, after Channel 10 pulled the plug on the long-running panel show, leaving the comedian without his cushy TV gig But it was his girlfriend's response that truly drove the nail in. 'She sent me a Google Docs spreadsheet titled: "Chores now that Sam's unemployed."' Once a regular face on Aussie TVs, Sam is now back to hustling on the comedy circuit – not exactly the career trajectory he'd hoped for after scoring a coveted hosting role on one of the country's biggest current affairs shows. And the humiliation didn't stop there. According to Sam, even The Project's most stoic panellist had a few parting words. 'Waleed – you might know that guy – he texted me on Wednesday and said, "I'm so sorry, Sam. Get prepared. I just got papped by the paparazzi outside Chemist Warehouse near the studio."' Sam, hoping to nab a bit of that paparazzi pity, made a mad dash to the same location. 'I ran as fast as I could to Chemist Warehouse. Not one f***er took a photo of me!' Sam also asked the crowd if anyone watched the show to which the crowd said 'no!' with Sam replying, 'I think we have found the problem'. The Project is officially wrapping up this month after 16 years on air, with co-hosts Sarah Harris, Hamish Macdonald and Waleed Aly all moving on – or rather, being moved on – from the network. 'It's just like everyone f**king knows you've lost your job and it's crazy,' Sam told the audience during his new stand-up set, admitting the reactions from his nearest and dearest weren't exactly comforting The shake-up follows the announcement last week that The Project would be pulled from the schedule after 16 years and more than 4,500 episodes. Its final episode is set to air on June 27, and will be replaced by a single national 6pm news bulletin. Meanwhile, Channel Ten is moving forward with its major re-brand as the network prepares to launch a new current affairs show. The Project hosts Waleed Aly, Sarah Harris and Hamish Macdonald are set to exit the network, while comedian Taunton will continue his guest appearances on other Ten shows. The last episode will air on June 27, with the panel show being replaced by a new current affairs show. After announcing The Project was ending last Monday, Ten released another statement announcing a new look news program. The premium news program, titled 10 NEWS+, is set to hit screens on Monday, June 30, at 6pm on Channel 10 and 10Play. 10 NEWS+ will be broadcast across the country after Network 10's 5pm local news bulletins, offering a deeper analysis of some of the biggest stories of the day. The Project's final episode is set to air on June 27, and will be replaced by a single national 6pm news bulletin. The cast is pictured According to Paramount Australia, the segment aims to 'redefine evening news by providing comprehensive analysis, trusted reporting, and long-form investigative journalism'. Keeping up with Australia's constantly evolving mediascape, the news program will be available via broadcast and streaming, as well as on digital and social platforms. The show's lineup will include former 7News journalist Denham Hitchcock and Walkley Award-winner Amelia Brace, who will be regular faces during the 6pm bulletin from Sunday to Thursday. Ursula Heger and Hugh Riminton will take the lead during the Friday broadcast. The anchor team will be supported by reporters including Ashleigh Raper, Bill Hogan, Brianna Parkins, Samantha Butler, Carrie-Anne Greenbank, and Claudia Vrdoljak. Ten's Entertainment Editor Angela Bishop will also bring insight into the biggest stories in entertainment, including red-carpet events and exclusive interviews with Hollywood's elite. Speaking of the new program, White gushed over the 'fantastic team' fronting the program and the 'hard work' that had gone on behind the scenes to bring it to air. 'We're going to do what we do best - put the truth first, our audience first, and tell important stories well,' he said of the new offering. 'We've assembled a fantastic team, led by Denham and Amelia, and I can't wait for audiences to see their hard work.' 10 News+ premieres Monday, 30 June at 6pm on Channel 10 and 10 Play.

Former footy player Warwick Capper cops huge ban from all AFL venues after allegedly making shocking comments to MCG catering staff
Former footy player Warren Capper has been banned from all AFL venues for five years after he allegedly made multiple 'vile comments' to catering staff during the 2024 Grand Final at the MCG. The MCC confirmed to Channel 7 that the 62-year-old will also be banned from attending other events at the Melbourne venue, including cricket matches and concerts. Reports from the outlet claim that the former Sydney and Brisbane goal-kicker had allegedly made lewd remarks about members of the catering staff and also 'intimidated a female staff member'. It is understood that he was removed from the corporate suite before being ejected from the venue entirely. According to The Herald Sun, Capper had told a caterer at the MCG: 'You're a nice looking girl. You'd look good in my brothel.' But his manager Tony Marks said Capper had not made that comment directly to the staff member. 'He did make a light-hearted joke to somebody in the room,' Marks said. 'But not with any ill will. He definitely didn't walk up and say it directly to her.' Marks added: 'There's a generation of people who didn't grow up with Warwick but for 95 per cent of people in that room he was being the joking Warwick Capper, an entertainer. 'He knows he needs to pull his socks up with some of his jokes, but under no circumstances would he want anyone to be offended. He was making a joke and it was overheard and offence was taken.' Meanwhile, Capper and Marks have told the outlet that they had known of the ban for some time. 'Somehow eight months to the day it's in the press,' they said. 'No doubt there's a few inappropriate things said in the caricature that is Warwick Capper and playing the class clown, but five years from every AFL venue, including no cricket, concerts… that stinks.' During his playing career, the 61-year-old made 388 AFL appearances for both Sydney and the bears. The forward was crowned a four-time leading goal kicker for the Swans, and also picked up the accolade for Brisbane in his first season at the club in 1988. Capper is also said to be undergoing tests to see if he has sustained any concussion injuries following his footy career. More to follow...
