Renovation star-turned-prostitute Suzi Taylor emerges for the first time since she was granted bail while facing drug-trafficking charges
The Block contestant-turned-prostitute Suzi Taylor has made a surprise return to social media after she was granted bail while facing drug-trafficking charges.
The 53-year-old took to Instagram to share a photo of herself posing for a selfie with her 'best friend' and 'saviour' that has helped her through her darkest times.
'I have had my best friend walk beside me thru every storm never leaving my side,' she captioned the post alongside her pet dog.
'My brave little companion has shown more courage loyalty & love than I could ever imagine.'
Suzi looked happy and relaxed following a beachside stroll, posing alongside her beloved dog on the sand.

Suzi recently faced a Brisbane court over a bizarre 'honey trap' kidnapping, the details of which had the whole television industry aghast.
The former reality star and her co-accused Ali Ebrahimi were eventually cleared on all charges, including extortion, deprivation of liberty, fraud and assault, and we do not suggest either of them committed a crime.
But the accusations were alarming, to say the least, drawing attention to the fact Suzi, just five years after her sudden rise to fame, was clearly a troubled woman earning a living as a prostitute.
That was 2020. Now it's 2025 and she continues to face legal troubles.
In March, she pleaded guilty to charges of trespassing, stealing and common assault but escaped jail and only had to pay a fine.
She had forced entry into a home the previous October demanding property from someone who was no longer living there. She pushed a woman then fled on an e-scooter with a shopping bag full of stolen goods.
At the time, Suzi had just been released from prison where she'd served 50 days for evading police.

She is currently on bail facing drug-trafficking charges and only recently had another conviction for meth possession added to her rap sheet.
The last time Suzi had lucidly opened up about her personal life was in her final social media post for 2024 in which she revealed she was estranged from her three children, aged in their teens and twenties.
She said her downfall had forced her to redefine what family is, and expressed hope for a more positive 2025. Fate had different plans for her.
Taking to Instagram at the time, the former Block star revealed she is still estranged from her three children Bella, 20, Zac, 18, and Alex, 16, following 'years' of legal woes.
Posting a selfie to her followers, Taylor shared the past few years, which have seen her mired in legal woes, had taught her a 'heartbreaking lesson'.
'The past few years have been filled with heartbreak. Losing loved ones, the absence of my children in my life,' she began the expansive post.
She claimed family members had cut ties with her due to exaggerated media reports without 'ever seeking to understand the truth'.
'This experience has been a heartbreaking lesson in the meaning of family and unconditional love,' she wrote.
The candid post continued with Taylor admitting the situation had forced her to redefine what family is.
'Even in the midst of such profound loss and isolation, I have found resilience. I have learned that family isn't always defined by blood; it can be the unexpected souls who step in during our darkest moments,' Taylor said.
Finishing the expansive post, Taylor said she was hopeful for a more positive 2025.
'As we enter 2025, I carry with me the lessons of the past and the hope for brighter days ahead,' she said.
'Here's to healing, new connections, and redefining what family means. May this year bring us all the strength to embrace the love that truly matters. #newbeginnings'

Travis and Jason Kelce appear to confirm mom Donna's shock Traitors appearance
Travis and Jason Kelce have seemingly announced that their mom Donna is going to be on season four of Traitors. Rumors first surfaced on Thursday morning that she was a potential contender to appear on the show, with the respected TV gossip account ' Reality TV Fan' naming her on X. The rumors appeared to be true with the New Heights podcast account then sharing an old clip of Travis and Jason discussing their love of the show. 'Reposting this for no reason whatsoever,' the caption read, with a smirking emoji. 'Dude you would f***ing crush it on Traitors,' Travis tells Jason. 'I can't lie, you know that. I'm an awful liar' the older Kelce brother responded. Reposting this for no reason whatsoever �� — New Heights (@newheightshow) June 12, 2025 'I just want to play the game,' Travis added. 'I do think I'd be better as a faithful.' But the duo didn't discuss how good they think their mother would be. They will find out soon enough though, it seems, with filming expected to begin shortly. Donna, 72, has seen her fame rise dramatically since Travis went public with his relationship with Taylor Swift in September 2023. The singer was sat next to Donna at a Kansas City Chiefs game at Arrowhead Stadium against Chicago Bears. She was famous enough in the NFL world before that - the 2023 Super Bowl was called 'the Kelce bowl' as it pitted Travis and the Chiefs against Jason and the Philadelphia Eagles. She attended the game in Arizona in a 50-50 jersey to support both of her sons. Her appearance on the popular show would no doubt be an opportunity for Swifties and NFL fans to gain precious insight into life in one of the most popular families in America. She used to divide her time during the NFL season between Philadelphia and Kansas City but since Jason's retirement in 2024, has been free to follow Travis. Last year, she shared her son's VIP suite with Swift for most of the home Chiefs games. They appear to be close away from the football field as well - they were pictured together in Philadelphia for a Mother's Day meal in early May.

Pheobe Bishop's mum's incredible act of kindness after her daughter's tragic death
A fundraiser backed by Pheobe's family has been organised to support local volunteer groups in what they hope creates a fitting legacy for the 17-year-old. Pheobe went missing on her way to Bundaberg airport in southern Queensland on May 15. Her housemates James Wood, 34, and Tanika Bromley, 33, were charged with her murder on June 6, more than three weeks after Pheobe disappeared. Officers discovered what were believed to be the teenager's remains later that day near a national park, an hour's drive from Bundaberg airport. The community rallied around Pheobe's family, with hundreds attending two emotional candlelight vigils. Family friend Tracey Berends hoped the fundraiser would help return the love. She organised the GoFundMe campaign that has received the family's backing, with money to be raised for local volunteer and not-for-profit groups. More than $7,000 had been donated by Friday morning, with the local SES volunteer group and Pheobe's former school set to benefit. 'The GoFundMe was created after speaking with Pheobe's family with the sole purpose of supporting local charities and volunteer organisations that were involved in the search for her, particularly the SES,' Ms Berends told AAP. 'These volunteers worked tirelessly on their hands and knees through difficult terrain and did so without expecting anything in return. 'It's important to the family that these selfless efforts are acknowledged and supported in Pheobe's name.' Pheobe's former school - the not-for-profit learning centre Y School in Bundaberg that is assisted by volunteers - has also been targeted for the fundraiser. 'There is absolutely no financial gain being taken by the family,' Ms Berends said. 'Their only hope is to create something beautiful and lasting in remembrance of Pheobe, a way to honour her kind, gentle spirit and the impact she had on so many lives.' Pheobe's mother Kylie Johnson said the fundraiser was a way to acknowledge a school where her daughter thrived as well as the SES volunteers who helped 'bring our baby home'. 'I've even had a few (SES volunteers) approach me with hugs and sorrys that they couldn't get her home sooner to us. They didn't give up and they got her back to us!' she posted on Facebook.

Kmart shoppers go wild over $59 'exclusive' item you can't find anywhere in stores: 'Such a vibe'
Kmart fans are in a frenzy over a new $59 homeware item that's only available online - and it's already being hailed as a must-have for 2025's biggest interior trend: Dollhouse Chic. The Green Boucle Ottoman, listed as an online exclusive, has quickly become one of the most talked-about items on social media, with shoppers scrambling to snap it up before it sells out. The minimalist piece features a rich sage green hue and a plush, boucle fabric - making it the perfect blend of comfort and style. With its compact design and curved silhouette, it effortlessly taps into the current obsession with soft, feminine interiors. One thrilled Kmart customer told FEMAIL she couldn't believe the quality for the price. 'It looks like something you'd find in a boutique furniture store - not from Kmart and definitely not for $59,' she said. 'I need to get my hands on it. I will style mine next to a floor-length mirror with a pastel cushion on top - I'm sure it will be the most complimented piece in my home.' Those who got their hands on the statement piece couldn't get enough of it, with one saying: 'How cute is this Kmart find? The boucle ottoman is my fave.' 'Ottoman is a vibe,' another shared. 'Stunning,' one added. Interior expert Lucy Sutherland previously told FEMAIL that Dollhouse Chic is the antidote to cold minimalism. 'This style embraces soft femininity, delicate details and vintage-inspired charm,' she said. 'Think pastel hues, curved shapes, and romantic textures. It's all about creating a dreamy, inviting space.' The ottoman is designed for daily use and endless versatility. It can be styled as a footrest in a reading nook, extra seating in a living area, or even as a vanity stool in a bedroom. For those wanting to go full Dollhouse Chic, the piece pairs beautifully with candles, ceramic trinket dishes, dried florals, and muted-toned cushions. Think soft pinks, lavenders, powder blues, and the signature sage green that defines the look - all tied together with plush textures like velvet, fluted glass, and rattan. With shoppers already reporting low stock and warning others to 'run, don't walk,' the ottoman is expected to disappear quickly - and with its high-end aesthetic and budget-friendly price tag, it's easy to see why.
