Now he's about to represent Australia at Eurovision in Basel, Switzerland, with his song Milkshake Man, an ode to self-confidence.

Forgotten reality star who 'disappeared' for over a year reemerges to share shock news: 'I'm nervous'

Lana Jeavons-Fellows is expecting her first child. The former Bachelor Australia star, who was runner-up in the dating show's third season, has been on a social media hiatus since February 2024, however she broke her silence to share the exciting baby news. Taking to Instagram on Wednesday, the brunette beauty, 37, posted a video on of her and her longtime partner Jake Meah waiting for the result of a pregnancy test. 'You're nervous aren't you?' Jake asked Lana, who giggled and responded: 'Yeah, I'm nervous. Are you ready?' As Lana picked up the test, there was a brief silence before she asked Jake: 'What does that mean?' 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 think that's pregnant,' he replied, pointing out the two lines on the test. The couple shared a sweet kiss before Lana said: 'I think I already knew anyway.' 'A new chapter begins,' the former reality star captioned the post. 'We are overjoyed and filled with excitement! #andbabymakesthree.' Lana looked radiant in the video, wearing a red and white patterned dress and her hair slicked back bun. The couple, who live in Sydney, have been together for sixteen years but have been keeping a very low profile of late. After finding fame on The Bachelor Australia in 2015, Lana became well-known for her various brand deals and aesthetic travel content on social media before she dropped off the radar over a year ago. She was famously blindsided and left heartbroken on the show after making it to the finale, only to be dumped by Sam Wood. Speaking to Channel Ten's Studio 10 back in 2015, Lana got emotional as she recounted the moment. When then-host Ita Buttrose asked if she saw it coming, Lana said 'no' - revealing she genuinely thought Sam would choose her. 'Of course I did (think it was me),' she said. 'I'm an optimist. 'I think in the moment I was really composed and I was really surprised when I watched it last night. 'It's actually harder to watch it than be in it. 'A lot of people anticipated I would be the girl in the end and it's been hard,' she continued, explaining she has 'been stuck in that moment' for four months after filming and now it's time to start 'moving forward'.

Aussie business owner calls out 'influencer' for ghosting her after taking $600 worth of items in exchange for social media posts

An Australian small business owner has called out an influencer for ghosting her after accepting $600 worth of gifted clothes in exchange for social media posts. The Sydney founder of clothing brand Don't Tell Ma said she was excited when the content creator first reached out to collaborate on her new label. She claimed the influencer had promised to create multiple videos, stories, and reels across her platforms in return for the freebies. Having just launched her new business, the owner knew that exposure on social media could help her brand take off. 'I was new to social media and excited that she could do all this stuff for me just as a gifted collab so that was fun,' she explained. Thrilled by the opportunity, the owner sent over $600 worth of stock. 'I packed and shipped it out, and she told me when she had received it. She posted one story of the package... and then - nothing,' she said. Multiple messages followed, but the influencer never replied. To add insult to injury, the owner later spotted the influencer wearing her fashion label in a paid partnership for a completely different brand - a jewellery company. 'It's weird because I know (the influencer's) mum - she's a customer at our (family's) restaurant so that's pretty awkward,' the owner explained. 'My husband has been asking me if I want him to say anything, but I said no because I'm too shy.' By speaking out about her experience, the business owner - who's currently running a pop-up shop inside a shopping mall in Sydney - hopes to stop influencers from taking advantage of small businesses. 'Please stop because it takes a lot of hard work and energy to put into a small business,' she said. The owner remained tight-lipped about the influencer's identity - but it's understood the content creator has since removed all traces of her social media accounts. However, it didn't take long before some business owners came forward, claiming the same influencer had also promised to post content in exchange for freebies - but disappeared after receiving the parcels. 'Unfortunately our business experienced the same thing with her. We agreed on a collab for her wedding. I set up for her and have been ignored since. No reposts, tag or reply - nor any payment. She's done this with multiple vendors. So sad to take advantage of small businesses like this,' one shared. 'Same thing happened to us, she never reposted our content and we were there all day, and she even unfollowed us. Such a shame honestly,' another revealed. 'This happened to me. I sent out a package worth $120 and she just stopped replying - still no contact,' one claimed. 'Happened to me too, I'm very disappointed,' another added. Some people argued that small brands should stop giving out freebies entirely. 'I'm sorry but businesses should not be giving products/services to influencers for free,' one suggested. 'Maybe a discount, yes - but not for free. Do returning customers ever get free products? No. And they're the ones actually supporting you.' Meanwhile, one suggested: 'You should've sent her an invoice since she didn't fulfil her end.' The overwhelming support has comforted the Don't Tell Ma founder - but she's far from the only one learning the hard way. As more stories emerge from small businesses left unpaid, untagged, and ghosted, the post is sparking a broader conversation about accountability in influencer marketing - and the real cost of 'free' collaborations.
