Ex-staffer reveals big secret about Shane Warne - and how he politely SNUBBED Hollywood superstar Gwyneth Paltrow
Shane Warne endeared himself to millions during a life cut tragically short, but there was one fact about the brash entertainer that may shock those supporters. Warne is regarded as the greatest leg-spin bowler in cricket history, finishing his Test career with 708 wickets from 145 matches. He announced himself on the world stage in 1993 with the famous 'Ball of the Century' to England's Mike Gatting at Old Trafford, a delivery that pitched well outside leg stump and spun sharply to hit off stump. Warne became a cornerstone of Australia 's golden era under captains Mark Taylor, Steve Waugh and Ricky Ponting, playing a key role in Ashes dominance and World Cup success in 1999. His cricketing genius was matched by his showmanship, with trademark celebrations, on-field banter, and a competitive edge that made him a crowd favourite. Off the field, Warne's life was often as colourful as his bowling, with controversies including a one-year ban in 2003 after testing positive to a banned diuretic, high-profile romances with the likes of Liz Hurley, and a reputation for enjoying poker and nightlife. Tragically, Warne died suddenly of a suspected heart attack in March 2022 while holidaying in Thailand at the age of 52. His death shocked the cricket world, with tributes pouring in globally to honour his genius, charisma and impact on the sport. Helen Nolan is an Australian personal and life manager best known for managing Shane Warne's career and personal life for 15 years. She is now the CEO of the Shane Warne Legacy foundation, overseeing initiatives like free health checks to continue Warne's charitable impact. And this week she made a big revelation about the late, great spinner - he never assumed he was in the Australian team, no matter how many wickets he took. 'When I first started working with him, it was just the two of us in the office,' Nolan says. 'He asked me to call Cricket Australia and ask 'IF' he's selected for the Brisbane Test, when would they fly? I said, not knowing anything about cricket, 'Don't you just play every game?' He laughed and said, 'No, you have to be selected'. 'I said, 'Aren't you really good, though, don't you just play every game?' He said, 'I've been lucky enough to be selected for most games, but it's never a given'. That was him all over. No ego. No assumptions. Never took anything for granted.' Warne also had a highly unconventional diet, heavy on pizza, baked beans and pies and including a period where he didn't eat a vegetable for 17 years. He infamously had pizza ordered to high-end restaurants and shunned gourmet food, even when it was cooked by Hollywood superstar Gwyneth Paltrow herself. Helen and Warne were guests at Coldplay frontman Chris Martin's house when he was married to Paltrow, and she revealed that he couldn't bring himself to eat her home-cooked risotto. 'Shane was sneakily moving it around his plate, saying 'Mmmm, this is beautiful' while barely eating it,' she said. Helen will treasure those memories for life, but she admitted it taken her three years to finally process the fact Warnie was gone forever. 'That night, I almost went to bed early as I was exhausted, but for some reason I decided to stay up,' she said. 'I was on my couch when my phone rang. It was Andrew Neophitou (Neo) at 10.07pm on a Friday. My first thought was, 'They've barely been in Thailand 24 hours, why are they calling me?' 'Then I thought, Shane might call this late but Neo wouldn't. So I listened to the voicemail. From his voice alone, I immediately knew something was terribly wrong. So I called back. 'I don't remember much of the conversation, but the moment we hung up, everything changed. In less than 10 seconds, my world shattered. I jumped straight into action and didn't stop working for 30 days straight, completely numb, still in shock over losing the person I spoke to most. 'I was across every part of Shane's life – his poker friends, cricket mates, business contacts, family, old friends, overseas connections. Many of them didn't know each other, so my phone was ringing every 15 seconds. 'That night, no one could believe it. I was fielding calls from friends asking, 'It's not true, right?' while also managing media fact-checking, and while trying to process it myself. Meanwhile, Neo and I made around 37 calls just that night alone, not counting texts, keeping each other updated every step of the way.

Costeen Hatzi opens up on public breakup with tennis firebrand Nick Kyrgios and what she regrets about their time together
Costeen Hatzi had to endure the pain of a breakup being played out in public, but she found her own strength and has now spoken out about her high profile split from Aussie tennis star Nick Kyrgios. Hatzi is an Australian influencer and interior design graduate known for her strong social media presence, with over 174K followers on Instagram alone. However it was her high-profile relationship with tennis star Nick Kyrgios that really put her in the spotlight for most Australians. Hatzi and Kyrgios began dating in late 2021, with the tennis star confirming their relationship on Instagram in December that year. She quickly became a constant figure courtside, supporting him through the 2022 Australian Open where his fiery on-court antics drew headlines. Their relationship was often in the spotlight, with Kyrgios publicly praising Hatzi while also facing criticism for his behaviour during matches. Hatzi was a constant courtside presence during the 2022 Australian Open as Kyrgios drew headlines for his fiery play In early 2023, rumours of tension surfaced, fuelled by Kyrgios's absence from tournaments due to injury and speculation about their future. By mid-2024, Hatzi confirmed their split. Now she has spoken about the public breakup, the pain, and the healing she has needed to do since they parted ways. And Hatzi has also revealed the lengths she went to in order to keep Kyrgios happy, and the regrets she has from their time together. 'I was fully supportive,' she told News Corp. 'I went to all the tournaments. I was doing everything behind the scenes – his washing, his cooking … everything. 'I was happy to, because I loved him and we had a great relationship at the time. So I don't regret anything that I've done.' Hatzi said she had used the last year to work on her own career out of Kyrgios' shadow, which she admitted was tough at times. 'It's different now. I have all this time for myself. I'm in a really reflective but motivated place. It has definitely been a bit of an adjustment, but I mentally prepared myself for that; it wasn't a shock,' she said. 'This year has been like a transition period. Of course there are days where, you know, I'm not a hundred per cent happy, but I feel like I've been headstrong, and I have a positive outlook on life. 'Going through a break-up isn't going to tear me down or upset me too much. I just need to look forward and throw myself into work, throw myself into fitness – and that's what I've been doing, really. 'I have a lot of time on my hands now so I'm trying to grow and expand my business,' she says. 'I've been leaning deeper into my career with fashion and beauty and content creation. 'It's a big focus for me – building a brand that's accessible and empowering, and style forward for women. 'That chapter of my life was meaningful and I'm grateful for the memories and the growth that came with it. You know, life changes. 'And so do people. I'm really just embracing this next chapter of rediscovery and independence and building something that's truly mine.' And Hatzi credited her family and friends for giving her the strength to carry on after the breakdown of the long-term relationship in the public eye. 'They've given me great advice to just focus on myself and be the classier person when it comes to the break-up,' she said. 'I've really taken that on board, because I don't want to ruin his name. Sometimes my emotions get the better of me, but then I remember that it's not in my nature to say anything bad about him. 'We still had a beautiful relationship, even though things didn't turn out the way [I'd hoped]. I've found peace within myself, and I hope he's happy. I don't wish bad upon him at all.'
