Amy Shark posts bizarre TikTok seeking dinner date while holidaying in Wales
The 39-year-old Australian Idol alum took to TikTok this week, inviting company for a dinner date while holidaying in Wales.
The video showed the singer standing in front of a Wetherspoons — a popular British pub chain.
'Hi, I'm Amy, and if anyone is in Barry in Wales, I'm just taking myself here for a Sunday roast dinner,' Amy said, pointing out her intended dining destination.
Amy appeared to be looking for a date for her Sunday dinner, bizarrely offering her star sign for potential suitors.
'I'm by myself. I'm a Taurus,' she joked before the clip abruptly ended.
She captioned the clip: 'Date night?? Anyone,' augmenting the comment with the hashtags: #barry, #date, #solo, #sad, and #f***.
The post elicited a flurry of comments from fans, with many commenting they would love to sit down with the Adore hitmaker.
'The flight is way too long unfortunately. I'd be there in a heartbeat,' one fan offered.
Another chimed in with a similar: 'Dinner with you. Sounds awesome. But stuck here in WA godammit.'
Others were quick to point out that Amy's Welsh holiday destination of Barry was the Welsh coastal town that provided the setting for popular 2000s James Corden comedy Gavin and Stacey.
'Gavin and Stacy! Just find Nessa and ask her "what's occurring",' one follower wrote, referencing the hit BBC comedy.
Another was quick to point out that Barry was also the birthplace of former Australian Prime Minister Julia Gillard.
But any hopes of a romantic Sunday roast with Amy were dashed.
The eight-time ARIA winner has been married to husband Shane Billings since 2013.
Amy's unusual post follows a recent emotional TikTok video that raised concern among fans, in which she revealed a deeply personal family rift.
Posting to the social media platform in June, Amy shocked followers as she opened up about her strained family relationships.
Amy said that she doesn't speak to her parents at all – and that the only person she truly cared about has since passed away.
'I don't think anyone on here actually realises just how f**king crazy I could be,' she began in the raw video, staring directly into the camera.
'I don't talk to my parents. Not my mum or my dad. Not even like … like, no one,' she continued.
'The only person that I cared about is dead now. And like, my brother's... we're fine, but he's six years younger than me. So he's not telling me what to do.'
Amy then appeared to spiral further as she confessed: 'I could be going f**king crazy, crazy. Like I could do anything. I'm not gonna disappoint anyone.'
Reflecting on her upbringing, she added: 'My parents had me when they were like 19 and 20. I found videos - I know what the f**k they were doing.'
She concluded the emotional clip with a plea for recognition: 'I just think I need a little more respect from people to be like, wow, Amy turned out pretty good.'
The post quickly amassed thousands of views and an outpouring of support, with fans flooding the comments to express concern and solidarity.
'Are you okay, Amy?' wrote multiple users, while one added, 'I haven't spoken to my narcissistic psycho parents for over 10 yrs now. Life is so peaceful since I finally deleted them.'
Another fan reassured her: 'You are an awesome, talented, most incredible person. Just keep being you.'

Britain's Royal Mail celebrates Monty Python with stamps featuring iconic sketches and characters
And now for something completely different: Britain's Royal Mail has issued stamps celebrating the absurdist comedy of Monty Python. The 10-stamp series announced on Thursday celebrates some of the troupe's most iconic characters and catchphrases, from 'Nudge, nudge' to 'The Lumberjack Song.' Six stamps depict scenes from the sketch-comedy TV series 'Monty Python's Flying Circus,' including 'The Spanish Inquisition,' 'The Ministry of Silly Walks," 'Dead Parrot' and 'The Nude Organist.' Another four mark the 50th anniversary of the cult classic 1975 film 'Monty Python and the Holy Grail,' including one showing the limb-losing Black Knight insisting, ''Tis but a scratch.' The stamps can be pre-ordered from Thursday and go on sale Aug. 14. Made up of Michael Palin, John Cleese, Eric Idle, Terry Gilliam, Terry Jones and Graham Chapman, Monty Python brought a unique blend of satire, surrealism and silliness to British TV screens in a series that ran from 1969 to 1974. The troupe also made several feature films, including 'And Now for Something Completely Different,' 'Monty Python's Life of Brian' and 'Monty Python's The Meaning of Life.' David Gold, Royal Mail's director of external affairs, said the collection 'honors a body of work that has shaped the comedic landscape for nearly six decades.' Palin said he was 'very glad to share a stamp with the nude organist!' The group largely disbanded in the 1980s, and Chapman died of cancer in 1989. The five surviving Pythons reunited in 2014 for a string of live stage shows. Jones died in 2020 from a rare form of dementia.

Tis but a stamp: Royal Mail set celebrates Monty Python favourite scenes
A set of 10 stamps from Royal Mail will pay tribute to 'one of Britain's most influential and enduring comedy troupes' – Monty Python. The main collection of six stamps celebrates characters from Monty Python's Flying Circus, the BBC TV series which ran from 1969 to 1974 with sketches so popular, generations of fans can still recite all the lines. The stamps showcase highlights including the Spanish Inquisition, the Ministry Of Silly Walks, the Lumberjack Song, the Dead Parrot Sketch, Nudge Nudge, and Spam. Formed in 1969, Monty Python was one of the UK's best-known comedy troupes, made up of comics Graham Chapman, John Cleese, Eric Idle, Terry Jones, Sir Michael Palin and Terry Gilliam. Presented in a miniature sheet, and in honour of 50 years of the cult 1975 film, Monty Python And The Holy Grail, a further four stamps celebrate the film. Scenes featured on the stamps include The Black Knight's defiant ''Tis but a scratch!', King Arthur and his knights receiving their divine quest, and Sir Robin's encounter with the Three-Headed Giant: 'You're lucky, you're not next to him!' Sir Michael said, with a reference to a character from Monty Python's Flying Circus: 'Very glad to share a stamp with the nude organist!'. David Gold, Royal Mail's director of external affairs and policy, said: 'Monty Python has left an indelible mark on global comedy, all while remaining unmistakably British at its core. 'From their groundbreaking television debut to a string of iconic films, this stamp collection honours a body of work that has shaped the comedic landscape for nearly six decades.' The group followed their TV work by making a series of films including 1979's Life Of Brian, the story of a man who was mistaken for Jesus; and 1983's The Meaning Of Life. Idle, 82, created the medieval musical Spamalot, which earned a Tony award for best musical after its Broadway run. Chapman died of tonsil cancer in 1989 aged 48, while Jones died from a rare form of dementia in 2020, aged 77. The stamps, and a range of collectible products, are available to pre-order from August 7 and go on general sale from August 14.

Paddy McGuinness and his ex wife Christine 'are struggling to sell their £6.5M Cheshire mansion' after she was left 'fuming over the price tag'
Paddy McGuinness and his ex wife Christine are reportedly struggling to sell their £6.5million Cheshire mansion. The couple separated in June 2022 but have continued to live together in the house for the sake of their three children. And now The Sun reports that he pair have had 'very little interest' in the property in the past five months, with a source saying it's overpriced even for the posh area. It comes after The Mail On Sunday reported in March that Christine was left 'fuming over the price tag' of the home as she believed he inflated the price so it doesn't sell. A source told The Sun on Wednesday that Christine is 'unhappy' and wants to move out. They also told the publication: 'It's a lovely house with all mod cons in a fantastic location but there's been very little interest. 'It's the most expensive house in Prestbury on Rightmove but it appears the market's a bit flat right now.' Representatives for Paddy and Christine have been contacted by MailOnline for comment. In March Christine was left furious after husband Paddy put their marital home on the market for the £6.5million price as she believed he inflated the price so it doesn't sell. Her friends at the time feared that she would have to continue living with the former Top Gear host for 'the foreseeable future' because buyers will be put off by the cost of it - which is a staggering £4.4million more than what they paid for it in 2020. 'It is so overpriced, Paddy doesn't want to sell which seems like another tactic by him. 'It's insane that Paddy would put the house on the market for that much, they only bought it five years ago and house prices have hardly gone up at all since then,' said an insider familiar with McGuinnesses. 'The house is on for two thirds more than what they paid for it, it will never sell. It all feels a bit like Paddy wanting to control the situation and keep Christine living in the house with him for longer. 'Christine made it clear that she can't live with him anymore but now it looks like she will have to for a long time yet.' In an interview with the Daily Mail's Weekend Magazine, Paddy recently discussed his living situation with Christine and intimated the pair would continue staying under the same roof. He said: 'Yeah, still the same. It doesn't feel tricky. I think it would if you lived in a toxic household - God forbid.' Asked how their unique living arrangement works, Paddy added: 'If I'm at home with the kids it's great. If I'm working and Christine is at home with the kids, that's great. 'If we are there together, that's fine. As long as my children are happy, that's all that matters to me.' The mansion features its own gym, a huge kids playroom containing soft play equipment, his and hers dressing rooms, an orangery and a kitchen diner. Its seven bedrooms have six en suite bathrooms and the house has been described by estate agents handling the sale as 'tailor made for hosting family and friends'. Paddy, 51, is hoping to make a £4.4million profit after purchasing the home for £2.1million back in 2020. He and Christine spent months renovating the property before moving in to cater for the needs of their young family.
