When one isn't enough! Brittany Hockley shows off her stack of wedding rings as she returns to Australia with new husband Benjamin Siegrist after Bali nuptials
Brittany Hockley and her newly minted husband Benjamin Siegrist have returned to Sydney after tying in knot in Bali. While her wedding may be over, Brittany won't forget in a hurry, with the former Bachelor star's finger festooned with an array of rings. The brunette was spotted showing off her bling as the couple strolled hand-in-hand through the streets of Bondi on Tuesday. She wore the stunning diamond sparkler Benjamin, 33, got down on bended knee with when he popped the question in June last year. She also sported two wedding rings created for her big day - a plain 18k gold band and another gold band encrusted with brilliant white diamonds. 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. Meanwhile Benjamin, also went for the 'bling' approach for his wedding band, with the goalkeeper now wearing a 14k yellow gold band with infinity pavé diamonds. All three wedding rings were created by Brittany's best friend and Life Uncut podcast co-host Laura Byrne's jewellery line, ToniMay. Brittany cut a casual figure in a puffy sleeveless jacket that she wore over a white long-sleeve zip-up top. She matched this with a pair of form-fitting navy blue leggings which she had tucked into a pair of white socks. Accessorising with a pair of almond-shaped sunglasses, Brittany finished her ensemble with a pair of white sneakers. Husband Benjamin cut an equally casual figure, putting on a leggy display in a pair of navy blue shorts. He also wore a Lorna Jane zip-up jacket that featured a trio of blue strips running along the shoulders and sleeves. He finished his look with a navy blue Atlanta braves baseball cap. Benjamin was also in charge of Brittany's faithful pooch Delilah for the outing. After picking up some bakery items, the couple were seen happily chatting as they enjoyed the start of their new life together. Brittany and Ben wed in a romantic ceremony in Bali on Wednesday last week. 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. Brittany was ever the blushing bride on her big day, walking down the aisle in a strapless dress by Steven Khalil which featured a lace corset with dramatic long train. The couple gave followers a glimpse into the nuptials, sharing a duo of loved-up snaps from the big day to 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. 'From the very first day, it was you,' Brittany captioned the images. 'Across any ocean, it is you. For the rest of our lives, it will always be you. Mr and Mrs Siegrist 4.6.2025,' she added, augmenting the sentiment with love heart emojis. Brittany and her beau appeared on her podcast Life Uncut in June last year to discuss details about her stunning giant diamond ring. Ben revealed he had the ring sourced and made in Dubai and it features a hidden halo under the diamond in a pavé setting. He also explained the diamond is lab-grown, which is more cost-effective and ethically sourced compared to natural diamonds. 'Whenever Ben and I had spoken about [engagement], I had said the two things I want: I want yellow gold. And the other thing, I always wanted a lab-grown diamond,' Brittany said. Ben didn't really know about it then, but he was like, "Don't you want a real diamond?" And I said, "It's identical. It's exactly the same, except ethically-sourced".' The cost of a lab grown diamond is around 40 to 50 per cent less than an earth-mined diamond, though it is still a real diamond.

Five-word warning for Brits visiting tiny island flooded with over 6m tourists
Despite witnessing a record-breaking number of international tourists last year, one picture postcard island has witnessed a surge in incidents relating to methanol poisoning A tiny island famed for its pristine beaches and lively nightlife has seen its tourism boom in recent years - despite stark travel warnings. Whether you're after a chilled beach club, silent yoga retreat, or TikTok-inspired spiritual awakening, Bali's mass appeal is undeniable. It has some pretty stunning temples, sugar-like beaches, lush rice paddies, and an unbeatable cuisine. Last year, the hotspot, located in Indonesia, welcomed a staggering 6.3 million international tourists, surpassing its pre-pandemic peak. Unsurprisingly, Australia accounted for the majority of tourists, due to its close proximity. But, last month (May 30) the country's government reviewed its advice for Indonesia following a series of recent incidents involving drownings and methanol poisoning. Urging Aussies to 'exercise a high degree of caution' when travelling to the country - the body said: "Be alert to the potential risks around drink spiking and methanol poisoning through consuming alcoholic drinks. Cases of methanol poisoning in drinks have previously been reported in Indonesia, including in Bali and Lombok." The Mirror contacted the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO) - which advises Brits on which countries are safe to travel to - asking whether it was also updating its warning page for Indonesia to reflect the recent surge. A spokesperson did not explicitly comment on Australia's updated advice, and instead sent over the organisation's guide for Indonesia - which hasn't been updated since April 8, 2025. The FCDO currently advises against all travel to a number of volcanoes in Indonesia, including Mount Lewotobi Laki-Laki, Mount Sinabung, Mount Marapi, Mount Semeru, and Mount Ruang. However, it does not have a current warning against Bali for either essential or non-essential travel. Still, under its 'Safety and Security' section, the FCDO has issued a blunt five-word warning for travellers: "Watch your drinks being prepared." It adds: "There have been reports of drink spiking linked to sexual assault in Bali, Lombok and the Gili Islands. "Do not leave [your drinks] unattended. Do not accept drinks from strangers at clubs or parties. Tourists have been assaulted or robbed after taking visitors to their hotel rooms, and in some cases have found that their drinks were spiked." The FCDO clearly states that many people, including British nationals, have died or suffered serious illness in Indonesia after drinking spirits that contain methanol due to inadequate distillation. Affected drinks have included: local spirits, including arak/arrack (a local rice or palm liquor) spirit-based mixed drinks, such as cocktails counterfeit brand-name bottled alcohol in shops or behind the bar To protect yourself from methanol poisoning, it is recommended to only buy alcohol from licensed liquor stores or bars, and make sure the bottle seals are intact. It's also worth checking for poor print quality or incorrect spelling on your beverages, as well as avoiding homemade alcoholic drinks. The FCDO also warns tourists to be 'alert' when out at night and avoid poorly-lit areas due to a high number of reported rapes and sexual assaults. "If you call a taxi, use only registered companies, such as Bluebird, Silverbird or Express, and check the driver's identity," it states. "If you book with a mobile app, check the driver is the same as the person on the app, and share your journey with a friend using the app. Be wary of drivers claiming to be registered with app companies and trying to pick up passengers on the street." Other safety warnings include credit card fraud, bag-snatching, and pickpocketing. "Conceal your bag as much as possible to reduce the risk. Carry only essential items and take care of your passport and bank cards," the FCDO advises.

Brittany Hockley reveals her wedding was 'fake' and the shocking moment her husband was 'denied entry' into Australia
Former Bachelor star Brittany Hockley married her Swiss footballer fiancé Ben Siegrist during a 'three-day extravaganza' clifftop ceremony in Bali last week. But there is just one 'minor technical detail' about the spectacular 'song and dance' that Brittany, 37, revealed to listeners of KIIS FM's The Pick Up on Monday — the marriage is not legal. 'Britt, you just got married in Bali,' Brittany's long-time best friend and co-host Laura Byrne said. 'We obviously can talk about how amazing that is, but now that we're here, we're also going to talk about how it's not legally binding yet.' 'It's a big show really,' the bride admitted, joking that the wedding 'was fake'. 'It's a bit too complicated to be honest. My husband Ben is fully Swiss, but he lives in Italy. I'm Australian living in Australia and we got married in Bali. There were way too many technicalities going on to make it legal, so we are just going to legally do it back here in Australia. 'The paperwork gets signed shortly - but let's not focus on that.' From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral The couple's 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. The 37-year-old was ever the blushing bride on her big day, walking down the aisle in a strapless dress by Steven Khalil which featured a lace corset with dramatic long train. Brittany and Ben gave followers a glimpse into the nuptials, sharing a duo of loved-up snaps from the big day to 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. 'From the very first day, it was you,' Brittany captioned the images. 'Across any ocean, it is you. For the rest of our lives, it will always be you. Mr and Mrs Siegrist 4.6.2025,' she added, augmenting the sentiment with love heart emojis. Brittany also revealed on Tuesday that the couple hit a second snag upon their return to Australia to start married life. 'What I will say is [Ben] almost didn't join us,' Brittany said. 'We got to the airport late last night and [the airport worker] was like, "visa, sir?" 'He was like, "What do you mean visa? I didn't have a visa to get to Australia". She's like, "You can't enter the country".' Laura explained that Ben has visited Australia many times on a work visa, which was organised for him by his football club and did not realise he was on a visa. 'So, he's been coming back and forth and that visa expired,' she said. Ben is prone to these kinds of adulting hiccups, the two women agreed, as Brittany called out her groom for winding up without a pair of pants to wear down the aisle, 20 minutes before the ceremony. 'Ben decided to wear his wedding suit the week before to someone else's wedding,' she sighed. Sourcing a suit for the big day was the footballer's one task to complete for the elaborate wedding. 'Yes, my pants shrunk,' he confessed sheepishly on the podcast. Brittany had instructed Ben to send his suit off for dry cleaning in Bali at least three days before the wedding. He forgot to and then 'splashed money around' to get a last minute clean done, which left his suit pants like a pair of 'jeggings'. 'He couldn't get the zipper up,' Brittany said with a laugh. 'Which is not ideal when your legs are the size of my legs,' Ben added. 'But it was all fine. Nobody noticed. I'm not sure how you got this information because it was very secret with my groomsmen. 'But yes, there were some safety pins in my pants. But it's all fine. Nobody got stung. Nobody noticed except for you, Laura.' The Life Uncut podcast announced Brittany's engagement to Ben, 33, last year. Brittany, who formerly described herself as 'the perpetually single host', had been dating Ben long-distance for eight months when he popped the question. The duo met in November 2022 on the celebrity dating app Raya. At the time the goalkeeper's soccer team, the Glasgow-based Celtic FC, was playing in Australia against Sydney FC.
