Rebecca Judd lifts the lid on husband Chris' gross 'footy feet' in wild podcast confession
She's known for her glamorous fashion sense, but Bec Judd just shared a not-so-chic side of married life. In Wednesday's episode of her Vain-ish podcast, the 42-year-old WAG-turned-media personality opened up about her husband Chris Judd's foul feet. Reflecting on his professional AFL days, Bec revealed the couple used to get joint pedicures - and his required medical-grade intervention. 'Chris and I, my husband, we used to go to a nail salon. This is going back 10, 15 years when he was playing for Carlton,' Bec recalled on the podcast. 'I needed mine painted, but because of how fast he would run and change of direction and the pressure calluses, is that what they are? Calluses? The build-up. 'He would have like a centimetre of dead skin in a plane with a sharp edge from pushing off.' She went on to describe how the scene would unfold at their local nail salon, comparing it to a full-scale operation. 'All the gorgeous ladies in there would just start giggling because we'd sit there next to each other and they'd be painting my toenails,' she said. 'And then there'd be like a whole team with scalpels and everything on his feet all laughing as they're shaving off all this dead skin. 'There would be mountains of dead skin by the end of it. I'm not even lying, like mountains of it. 'They'd have to come and sweep it up and they'd always be giggling.' Chris, now 41, is a dual Brownlow Medallist and former Carlton and West Coast Eagles star who retired from AFL in 2015. The couple married in 2010 in a lavish ceremony and are one of Australia's most high-profile sporting couples. Together they share four children - son Oscar, daughter Billie, and twin boys Tom and Darcy - and reside in a multi-million-dollar Spanish-style mansion in Melbourne's Brighton. Bec has since carved out her own career as a media presenter, fashion designer, and podcast host. Vain-ish, which she co-hosts with fellow glam mum and influencer Rozalia Russian, has become a hit thanks to their candid takes on beauty, motherhood, and behind-the-scenes secrets. It comes weeks after Bec revealed the eye-watering amount it would take her family to relocate from the desirable bayside property. 'No, we are not selling. But if somebody wants to pay 10 times market rates, then sure, it's all yours,' she wrote. Bec and Chris moved into the $7.3million mansion in December 2019. They have since conducted extensive renovation work on the property, increasing its value, including installing an extra bedroom and rumpus room. The power couple originally purchased the sprawling house in March 2018, and commenced a complete makeover before moving in.

Woman left 'nearly decapitated' after dress with build in scarf gets caught in car
A woman has issued a stark warning to individuals who own a dress with neck scarves. While the style has become increasingly popular in recent times, a scarf almost caused a severe accident for Eli Moulton from Australia. The mother-of-two was attending the opening of a BMW garage in Glenelg, South Australia, in a flowing black dress she had rented via Plus One Dress Hire. After posing for glamorous Instagram photographs, the dress caused some trouble while she was getting in her car on the way home. 'A reminder for the ladies,' Eli wrote, adding, 'Remove your neck scarves before entering or operating any heavy machinery. '[I] nearly decapitated myself getting the scarf tangled underneath the car on the way home.' In the post, Eli shared herself at the event before showing the severe, red burn-like marks around her neck. She added in the video, 'The dress that had me in a chokehold,' while turning her head to reveal the painful mark. It comes after a woman claimed a tank top purchased from Shein reacted with sun cream, leaving her with 'agonising', vest-shaped burns and putting her at risk of 'nightmare scarring'. On July 18, Soraya Young travelled with her boyfriend George Harris, 26, to Marmaris, Turkey, for a 12-day getaway as a break from renovating their house. The 25-year-old, from Nottingham, East Midlands, had purchased a £4.99 pack of three tank tops from Shein in April in preparation for the warmer weather, taking care to wash the vests before packing them. The civil servant, who regularly applied SPF 30 sun cream while away, decided to wear one of the tops over her bikini to maintain a 'modest' appearance during a five-hour visit to the town. The following day George spotted a 'weird burn' on her back, which the pair initially assumed was sunburn. But the 'tank top-shaped' burn began to blister and 'leak fluid', Soraya said, leaving her in 'agony'. The pain was so severe that she was forced to consult a local doctor who apparently told her that the burn had likely been caused by the top's fabric reacting with the sun or the chlorine from the pool. After 'sobbing' in pain during her flight home on July 29, Soraya visited a UK doctor who prescribed her antibiotics and cream to soothe the burn. Now, Soraya fears she'll be left with permanent scarring and urges people to 'think twice' about buying cheap clothes. Shein said it was the first complaint of this nature they'd received, but that they have removed the item from their website 'as a precautionary measure' while they investigate. Soraya said: 'It definitely ruined the end of the holiday when it began to get horrendously painful. 'I wore the top over my bikini to try and be a bit more modest. I didn't notice anything until the next day when we went on a boat trip. She recalled that George had pointed the 'weird' burn out to her but, assuming it was sunburn, she didn't perceive that it was in the shape of a vest. 'As the days went on, it started to get more and more sore,' Soraya continued. 'It started to blister and it was red raw. 'When I was trying to sleep at night it was agony. It began to leak fluid towards the end of the holiday. 'If I moved my arm, it made me wince so I was trying not to move my arms and head 'George picked up on why it is in the shape of a vest. Obviously with sunburn it would be around the sides like my shoulders and back.' In pain, Soraya visited a doctor in Turkey and claimed he said the burn was caused by her tank top. Soraya said: '[The doctor] took a look at it and was absolutely gobsmacked. I was pretty shocked and panicked and I thought, 'What have I done?'. 'The worst part is not only the pain but the actual shape of it. It looks like I'm permanently wearing a vest.' After a painful flight home, she visited a doctor who she says also claimed the vest was the culprit and prescribed her with antibiotics and cream to apply multiple times a day. Soraya said: 'I just wanted to get some sleep [on the flight] because I'd been awake all day but trying to sit back on the [plane] chair was absolutely unbearable. 'I was sobbing, I couldn't exactly take my t-shirt off in the middle of the flight. '[The doctor] said, 'It's obviously a burn'. I showed the doctors the vest and they said it definitely has something to do with it because of the shape it's in. 'I'm just paranoid about it scarring. It's a nightmare.' The fashion lover is now urging people to 'think twice' before ordering budget clothing. Soraya said: 'I'm surprised because it's such a popular brand. I washed the clothing before and I've never had any issues with it until now. I'll never buy anything from Shein again. 'The thing that worries me is lots of people buy stuff for children there. Children's skin is a hell of a lot more sensitive. I was thinking 'imagine if that was a child'.' A Shein spokesperson said: 'Shein takes product safety very seriously and is committed to offering safe and reliable products to its customers. Since becoming aware of this claim we have removed the item from our site as a precautionary measure while we investigate. 'Shein works closely with international third-party testing agencies such as Intertek, SGS, BV and TUV SUD to ensure compliance with product safety standards. This is the first complaint of this nature that we have received for this item and we are taking it very seriously.' A Shein spokesperson since added: 'The product has been tested in accordance with SHEIN's protocol, by independent, third-party testing agency, SGS. Based on the report, all the tested parameters relevant to REACH [Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and Restriction of Chemicals] chemical restrictions have passed the specified limits.'
