‘Mess': Osher Gunsberg hits back in fiery TV clash
Don't miss out on the headlines from Reality. Followed categories will be added to My News. Aussie TV star Osher Gunsberg went down swinging on Sunday's episode of Dancing With the Stars, hitting back at one of the show's judges after some savage critiques of his latest performance. The former Bachelor host danced the tango to the David Bowie classic Fashion with his dance partner Sriani Argaet, a performance that got a universally frosty reception from the judging panel. But judge Craig Revel Horwood was the harshest, declaring Gunsberg's tango a 'right royal mess' – a description that earned a fiery response from the contestant himself. Judge Craig Revel Horwood didn't hold back. … so neither did Osher. 'Would you like to try going down that perspex ramp in those heels, sir? You are more than welcome to show me how to do it,' Gunsberg told the judge – whose response was a shrugged 'that is not my job.' ' … but I need you to be doing it in a tango step while the person next to you is on one foot and you're holding them – after you,' Gunsberg continued. Horwood continued on, saying that Gunsberg's performance was 'completely erratic,' contained 'mistakes left right and centre,' and said in retrospect he should've tried to master a simpler routine. That too drew a fiery response from Gunsberg. 'Where's the fun in trying something that's not really risky? You saw the dance I did last episode, Craig. I took big risks. You said to take big risks.' 'I would rather do it and have it not work and give it a shot.' Osher had some fancy moves … … but the judges were less than impressed. Unfortunately, the risk didn't pay off: After receiving a lowly score of 15 from Horwood, Gunsberg ended up with a grand total of just 15 points, leaving him a distant last on the leaderboard. He and dance partner Argaet were eliminated from the competition, leaving four celeb contestants. Home and Away star Kyle Shilling, who received a perfect score of 40 in Sunday's episode, Felicity Ward, Mia Fevola and Shaun Micallef. Gunsberg may have copped a battering from the judges on his way out of the competition, but it seems many viewers were on his side: Fans flooded an Insta post showing his final dance with supportive comments overnight. 'It was unfair for you to go tonight. You did a great job,' wrote one. 'Not gonna lie. I kinda cheered with Osher gave it back to Craig,' said another.

Brooks Nader reveals she tans 'totally naked'
Brooks Nader recommends "tanning totally naked". The 28-year-old model - who was the covergirl for the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue in 2023 - has shared some of her top beauty tips, revealing that she enjoys tanning naked. Brooks told Extra: "I would highly recommend just waking up every morning and tanning totally naked. Lay in the sun. There's scientific studies that show if all of your special parts hit the sun, and you start your day that way, you're going to have a good day." Brooks is set to star alongside her sisters in a new reality TV series called Love Thy Nader, and she's warned viewers to "buckle up and get ready" for the show. The model - who competed on Dancing with the Stars in 2024 - shared: "I don't even know what the cuts are, but a little teaser drops today and there's a lot to be seen with this show." Brooks recently revealed that she can't wait to share her life with TV viewers. The model also acknowledged that the reality show will be full of "chaos" and "drama". Speaking to Us Weekly, Brooks joked: "There's four of us. I can't even count on one hand how many of them there are. "You can expect everything to be laid out there. There's chaos, there's drama, there's boys [and] there's girls. There's everything you can imagine under the sun. Just four girls from Baton Rouge, Louisiana, living in the big city in SoHo — all under the same roof. What can go wrong? It's bound to be chaos." Brooks also featured in the latest Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue, and she admitted that her attitude towards photoshoots has evolved over time. The blonde beauty confessed to working out "three times a day" before she made her Sports Illustrated debut - but Brooks admitted that she's now much more casual and relaxed in her approach. She said: "My first year, I was such an anxious, crazy person [and] I worked out three times a day. This time, I ate a cheeseburger right before and kind of rocked into it. "It just depends on my mood, to be honest … I'm a vet."
