Sophie Guidolin claims she has to fork out $4,000 per week in rent while her home is 'rebuilt' from 'cyclone damage' - as she teases starting an OnlyFans to get by
The fitness influencer, 36, jetted off to Europe with her twin daughters Evie and Aria, nine, before the storm hit landfall and caused damage to her lavish Gold Coast home.
Now, the online personality has claimed on Instagram she will have to pay up to $4,000 a week in rent or $76,000 for three months in an Airbnb while she 'rebuilds'.
'Wow. I am so sorry to anyone trying to find housing recently. I am beyond sorry. Like mind-boggling,' Sophie captioned a video of her searching for an Airbnb.
'What are people doing to afford these rental prices? Our home will be six month min. rebuild so need a short-term lease.
'Either Airbnb at $76k for three months or between $2-$4k a week for us.'
Ex-Tropical Cyclone Alfred heavily impacted Queensland and New South Wales in early March.
While it weakened to a tropical low before making landfall, it still caused widespread damage, including strong winds, heavy rainfall and flooding.
It wreaked havoc in southeast Queensland and northern New South Wales, which were smashed with severe thunderstorms and 'life-threatening' flooding.
Both Brisbane and the Gold Coast were hammered with a 'rapid ramp-up' of torrential rain late Sunday, according to the Bureau of Meteorology.
'Basically from the CBD out towards Ipswich, and then right through Kenmore, Mount Cootha, and through the Samford Valley — some of the rainfall totals are getting to pretty phenomenal levels,' Bureau of Meteorology's Matthew Bass told ABC Radio Brisbane at the time.
Many residents across the Gold Coast stranded by major flooding were advised to seek shelter and 'get up as high as you can'.
Sophie teased she will need to start an OnlyFans for her feet just to get by while her home is being fixed after the damage caused by the storm.
She shared screenshots to her Stories of a DM she had with her friend discussing the idea.
'Reckon if our toes touch people will pay more for an OnlyFans account?' Sophie asked her friend, who replied: 'Tempting.'
She went on to say she has 'ballet big toes', but Sophie's friend claimed she had fans who called her feet 'magnificent'.
'I wonder if anyone would recognise my feet,' Sophie captioned one of the screenshots.
However, it seems she was only joking as she followed it up with another post telling her followers she would never start and adult subscription account.
'Guys, I am getting so many of you DM me about this. I am not actually going to do this. My teenage boys would murder me at the thought,' she wrote.
'Even of my feet. Lol however all the power to the boss women out there with little butter on the stubs secretly under their desk haha.
'I wish I could pull this off. I couldn't pull off a one night stand let alone an OnlyFans or foot account. After the day you have had. I thought this was a joke.'
Sophie shares twin daughters Evie and Aria, and sons Ryder, 15, and Kai, 16, with ex-husband Nathan Wallace.

Wiltshire in pictures: royalty, sunshine and celebration
It's been a scorcher in Wiltshire this week, forcing farmers to harvest their wheat crops early. There has also been a royal visit from Sophie, Duchess of Edinburgh, for the 80th anniversary of VJ Day, or Victory over Japan course, envelopes revealing A-level results were opened on at Stourhead, heavy horses have been brought in by the National Trust to help clear timber. Serious muscle: Heavy horses have been enlisted by the National Trust to help manage the woodland on the Stourhead estate near Warminster. The Wessex heavy horses, which are good at handling terrains that are tricky for machines, are extracting timber from the 2,650-acre Top Wood. And relax: Schools and colleges across Wiltshire have been abuzz with pupils finding out their A-level results. Many are celebrating – including these teens at Devizes School. Sharing wisdom: Residents at Kingston House care home in Calne have been potting plants and sharing advice for younger generations at the same time. Ken Lewis, 81, said: "Don't fear the unknown. If you want to do something, just go for it." History through heat: Sun-scorched grass has this week revealed the outline of old features at the Longleat estate, including the World War Two American military hospital. The parched marks appear because soil over buried landscape features is shallower than in the surrounding areas. Speed in the sun: Another day for Salisbury Races as William Buick riding Morris Dancer wins the British Stallion Studs EBF Stonehenge Stakes at Salisbury Racecourse. Food for thought: A Swindon charity welcomed Wiltshire's High Sheriff Martin Nye to the town's Big Breakfast Plus, which is open seven days a week offering a cooked breakfast to homeless and hungry people. Based at the Pilgrim Centre, it sources food locally where it can, such as milk from a farm in Wroughton, sausages from Bishopstone and donations of fruit from a local allotment. Heat and wheat: The dry weather this year has led to the county's farmers harvesting early and quickly. Combine harvesters and golden fields are regular sights already in Wiltshire this year. Spooky: A huge mural has been completed in a Warminster car park, marking 60 years since the Warminster Thing, a series of mysterious noises and UFO sightings in the town. Simply dazzling: While the sun has scorched the grass in some places, other scenes have been sparkling, including this river in Salisbury.

Rain and storms forecast for much of Australia's east coast for every day next week
For Australia's east coast, the wet weeks are dragging on with no immediate reprieve in sight. 'I know people in Sydney and other parts of New South Wales will be sick of hearing this,' the Bureau of Meteorology's Angus Hines told the ABC on Saturday. 'But it will be another wet week across the eastern coastline, all the way from the Illawarra through New South Wales, through Sydney, Newcastle, through Brisbane up to the Wide Bay in Queensland'. The senior BoM meteorologist said 'a couple of wet days' were forecast across eastern regions. 'Tuesday through Thursday is when we're eyeing up some persistent showers and and possible storms.' Hines said that there would be 'slightly cool, slightly showery, maybe hail-like weather' over the weekend along the east coast. Sign up: AU Breaking News email On the other side of the country, he said there was yet another cold front, with strong winds and rain expected to arrive in Perth around about Tuesday. Weatherzone meteorologist Ben Domensino said there was potential for hazardous and severe weather along the east coast next week, though there was some 'forecast uncertainty' surrounding the weather system. 'The pool of cold air associated with next week's wet weather will cause rain, hail and snow to spread over parts of south-eastern Australia on Friday and over the weekend. This wintry mix of precipitation will then become more focused on NSW and Queensland from Monday onwards,' he said. 'It's important to point out that there is currently quite a lot of disagreement between computer models regarding where and how much rain will fall next week. However, there is general consensus between major models that rain will occur over parts of eastern Australia every day next week. 'Some models also suggest that heavy rain will occur on several days next week, possibly enough to cause flooding.'

South-east Queensland shaken by 5.6-magnitude earthquake
South-east Queensland has been shaken by a 5.6-magnitude earthquake on Saturday morning. There was no tsunami threat from the earthquake, the Bureau of Meteorology said. The epicentre of the quake was at Kilkivan, west of Gympie, about 170km north-west of Brisbane, at 9.49am. The quake struck at a depth of 10km, according to Geoscience Australia data. More than 8000 'felt reports' have been registered, from as far away as Brisbane and the Gold Coast to the south, and Bundaberg to the north. Former Queensland premier Steven Miles shared a Google alert of the quake, stating: 'Did you just feel the earthquake?' Across the Sunshine Coast, Brisbane and the Gold Coast, people reported their houses shaking and low rumble. Sue Krucker was home in Mount Mellum on the Sunshine Coast – 100km from the epicentre – when the quake struck. Krucker said she had lived through 13 cyclones, and was intimately familiar with the safety precautions for those, but earthquakes were highly unusual for Queensland. 'I was sitting in our home office, and the first thing I noticed was our printer activated, and then the one of the pot plants started to shake. 'It was moving like a Mexican wave, from one thing to the next: the printer, the plant, my chair, my desk, my monitor. It kept progressing. Then my phone came up with an earthquake alert, it was almost a surreal moment. 'It lasted quite a while, doors were moving. This house is a split-level Queenslander, the house was definitely moving. And when I went to stand up, my legs were shaky, I felt like I was on a rocky boat. And for sometime afterwards, I felt like my equilibrium had not been restored.' We've detected an #earthquake with a preliminary magnitude of 5.6 at 9:49 AM in Kilkivan, Queensland. If you need assistance, contact your local emergency services. Complete a felt report at Krucker said her brother lived in Japan, which regularly experiences severe magnitude earthquakes. 'I'm mindful that other people go through things like this, and they are often much more extreme. This is unusual for here, but no one here is harmed, nothing's damaged. I haven't detected any cracks in the house. We are all safe and OK.' Krucker said an 8.8 magnitude earthquake had struck Russia a fortnight ago, flooding rains were devastating Pakistan, while wildfires raged in southern Europe. 'An earthquake is highly unusual for here. It feels like Mother Nature is out of kilter.' No #tsunami threat to Australia from #earthquake felt in Kilkivan, QLD (magnitude 5.6 near Near East Coast of Australia). See Nearly 13,000 homes and businesses in south-east Queensland were left without power after the earthquake, Ergon Energy said. 'Crews are working to return supply as soon as possible.' Earthquakes above magnitude five occur every one to two years, with an average of 100 quakes at magnitude three or lower recorded each year in Australia, according to Geoscience Australia. A 3.2 magnitude earthquake was recorded on Victoria's Mornington Peninsula on Wednesday, after a 3.6 magnitude earthquake recorded west of Kingscote in South Australia on Tuesday.
