Teaming up on the Aussie cooking show last year, Hannah and Lawrence's dynamic partnership quickly made them standouts in the competition.
But when it comes to gracing the screen, it wasn't the couple's first rodeo.
The couple both have TV backgrounds, with Lawrence appearing in the second season of the popular BINGE series The Twelve and Hannah previously featuring on Channel Seven's Big Brother in 2020.
During her stint in the Big Brother house, Hannah proved to be a formidable player.
She was nominated for eviction only twice — during her first and last rounds.
After spending 27 days in the house, she secured the 10th position in the competition, leaving a lasting impression on viewers.

EXCLUSIVE Stranded On Honeymoon Island star Brie opens up on her wild ride - and why nice guys used to scare her
She signed up to find love in paradise - but for Stranded On Honeymoon Island bride Brie White the reality was far more intense than she ever imagined. The 29-year-old admitted to Daily Mail Australia that watching her wedding back for the first time felt like 'looking at a younger version of myself' – even though the experience still triggers memories of the emotional rollercoaster she endured on the island. 'I was watching it thinking, "Oh my God, I was just a baby!" she said. 'It was really sweet to watch, but also kind of wild. I looked so unsure.' Brie, who had never been in love before entering the show, was paired with Byron, 33 - and says there was a spark from the moment they met. 'I felt a connection straight away,' she said. 'It was definitely there… but that also scared me. Watching it back reminded me of that claustrophobic feeling. There was no escape.' From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. While she wouldn't go so far as to say it was love, Brie admitted the emotional bond rattled her in a way no past relationship had. 'There was something there - I was scared of how strong it felt,' she confessed. Still, the fast-tracked wedding process was confronting. 'That sh*t scared me,' Brie laughed. 'It felt surreal - suddenly I had a ring on my finger, I was sharing vows with a stranger. I never thought I'd do anything like that. And I definitely didn't imagine doing it without my family.' Brie said getting married without her loved ones was one of the hardest parts of the process. 'I always imagined a massive wedding with everyone there celebrating me,' she said. 'But it was just me and him. None of my people were there. It felt uncomfortable and scary.' Despite the nerves, Brie said she knew she wanted Byron from the speed dating round. 'They asked who I wanted - I said, 'Number 11 only',' she revealed. 'When I saw him coming down the aisle, I was so relieved. It just calmed me instantly.' The most challenging part of the show, she said, wasn't the isolation – it was the personal growth. 'I went on a huge personal journey,' she explained. 'I couldn't call my best friend, couldn't stalk him online - I didn't even know his last name, let alone my new one. Everything I usually did in relationships was stripped away.' 'There were moments where I was lying in bed thinking, 'I can't do this' - I remember day three specifically. I didn't know how long we'd be there. We had no idea what day it was. One day felt like a week.' Asked if things ever felt different when the cameras weren't rolling, Brie admitted the lines blurred quickly. 'Honestly, there was no difference,' she said. 'After the first day or two, we just forgot the cameras were there. Two days felt like two weeks. Three days felt like three months.' Brie also revealed how little the participants were told going in. 'They told us nothing,' she said. 'I knew I was marrying a stranger from the speed dating round and going to an island - that's it. I didn't know who the other couples were, or if we'd ever see them again. We didn't even know it would last three weeks.' Looking back, she said the emotional intensity forced her to face a lot of fears – including red flags she'd previously ignored. 'I used to be scared of nice guys – anything about relationships scared me back then,' she said. 'Now, I've learnt I need someone who's kind, not arrogant, not rude… and with good hygiene!' As for the glamour side of reality TV? Forget it. 'After day three, you stop caring,' Brie said. 'I was more worried about not having my dental floss or mouthwash. Makeup? That didn't even cross my mind.' The upcoming series promises drama, tears and unexpected love stories - but Brie says it's the authenticity that sets it apart from other dating shows. 'This wasn't polished. We didn't know what was coming next - and that's exactly how it felt living it,' she said. 'It changed me.' Stranded On Honeymoon Island continues Tuesday at 7.30pm on Seven

NRL makes a stunning call on who will perform the national anthem for State of Origin game three
The NRL has confirmed who will perform the national anthem at the Origin series decider on July 9 - and it will warm the hearts of footy fans. Erin Mortimer, the daughter of NSW Blues legend Steve Mortimer, is poised to sing Advance Australia Fair in front of 80,000-plus supporters. It will also be the 40th anniversary of her father leading NSW to the state's first-ever Origin series triumph in 1985. In iconic scenes, the champion halfback kissed the turf at the SCG at fulltime after the Blues finally got the better of Queensland. Mortimer was then chaired off the field by his jubilant teammates before lifting the interstate trophy. 'I'm very excited, humbled and honoured on a personal note but also the sense of occasion,' Erin Mortimer told News Corp. Mortimer played nine State of Origin games for NSW in his decorated career (pictured, after winning the 1985 series) 'Given what Dad is going through, I'm grateful and privileged. 'The adrenaline, nerves and anticipation before kick-off will be amazing, so I can only imagine what Dad was feeling 40 years ago before that iconic first series win in '85.' She added it will be 'bittersweet' that Mortimer - who now lives in a Sydney nursing home - won't be at Accor Stadium on the night. A vocalist, performer and songwriter, Mortimer won't be rattled by the huge occasion, having sung the anthem at Origin games in 2008 and 2013. Mortimer played nine State of Origin games for NSW between 1982 and 1985 and also won four premierships with the Bulldogs, including two as captain. In recent years, he has battled the effects of dementia. Sadly, his son Andrew revealed Mortimer probably is unaware how well his beloved Bulldogs are performing this NRL season due to his declining health. 'It's a shame because they are absolutely killing it,' he said.

Footy legend James Hird opens up about shock career move that was rumoured to have played a role in his marriage split
Essendon great James Hird has opened up about his surprise move back into coaching - a decision that is rumoured to have played a part in the breakdown of his marriage. The AFL Hall of Famer and his wife Tania quietly separated over a year ago, ending a 27-year marriage that began in 1997 and spanned both triumph and turmoil at Essendon. The former couple's high-profile standing made their ability to keep the split a secret for so long all the more surprising. Hird, now 52, moved out of their Toorak family home, choosing to focus on his mental health and career away from the public eye. A source with ties to the family said there were tensions between the couple over Hird's interest in taking a coaching position with Port Melbourne. Hird has been involved with the iconic Victorian club since his son Tom joined the Borough in 2023, and is now the director of coaching under Brendan McCartney. McCartney was one of Hird's assistants at Essendon in 2011 and the pair have a great working relationship. Some have speculated that he took the job as a step to once again reclaiming the Essendon coaching position, but Hird insists he just wants to help the club. 'It's not (about Essendon),' he told News Corp. 'It's to help out Port. They've been good to Tom and I felt like I could make a difference here. To do something with your son is very special. 'This is a journey in itself, being part of Port Melbourne Football Club and trying to create a good football program where we can have some success and teach and help players learn. That's the sole purpose of doing it.' Hird says he's not thinking about coaching in the AFL. 'My focus is working with the boys here,' he said. 'What are we, four wins, one draw and five losses? We've got a lot of work to do to make the most of this year and then how we set ourselves up for next year.' He says the role is rewarding and he's been surprised by how much fun he is having. 'I didn't think I'd enjoy it as much as I am,' he says. 'You realise why you love footy when you're in and around a group of young guys, young people who want to get better, and a group of coaches who also want to get better. 'Everyone says coaching is a stressful job. And it is. But it's also … when you're doing it, you're teaching people how to play and helping them get better … so it's a very rewarding job as well.' Hird's illustrious playing career, which began with Essendon at pick 79 in the 1990 National Draft, reached its peak in 1996 when he shared the Brownlow Medal with Michael Voss. He later claimed the Norm Smith Medal in 2000 and helped deliver a premiership to the Bombers in the same year. His remarkable achievements, including five Best and Fairest medals, secured him a place in the Australian Football Hall of Fame. Off-field, a succession of legal disputes and the devastating supplements saga tested his resilience to the limit.
