Andy Lee and Rebecca Harding spotted jetting into Melbourne after New York trip...as the comedian goes straight back to 'work' on mammoth mansion project
Andy Lee cut a casual figure on Saturday, when he was spotted with partner Rebecca Harding, jetting into Melbourne after a New York jaunt. The funnyman, 43, and Rebecca, 35, were in the Big Apple to pay a visit to Andy's Aussie-themed Manhattan pub, Old Mates. With Andy at the helm of the venture, it is backed by an owner's group that includes the likes of Hamish Blake, tennis star Ash Barty, surfing legend Mick Fanning, Australian cricket captain Pat Cummins and Hollywood A-lister Hugh Jackman. Andy was dressed for on the long haul flight, wearing a pair of loose-fitting navy blue tracksuit pants. He also wore a crisp, white long sleeve polo shirt, and a pair of well-worn white sneakers. 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. Finishing his flight ensemble, the Hundred host wore a brown and white Cherry LA trucker cap. Rebecca, meanwhile was similarly attired in a pair of grey track suit pants and a white top that she wore under a thigh-length coat. Wearing a black headband to keep her locks of her face, Rebecca was also spotted wheeling a silver suitcase and hand luggage. Andy, meanwhile appeared more interested in his phone, smiling as he scrolled and walked. He did not let jet lag get to him either, getting back on the tools at his ambitious Melbourne mansion renovation. He shared a photo to Instagram on Saturday afternoon that showed him happily posing with construction crew at the build site. While the workers, who appeared to have been rendering a cement wall looked suitably dirty, Andy, who offered a heart thumbs up, was conspicuously spotless. 'Me and the boys got the walls done in a day. I certainly don't want to take all the credit, it was a team effort,' he captioned the image. The funnyman, 43, and Rebecca, 35, were in the Big Apple to pay a visit to Andy's Aussie-themed Manhattan pub, Old Mates His followers were quick to flood the comments with suggestions that Andy was only there for the 'photo op.' 'Good to see the shoes are nice and dirty,' one offered, commenting on Andy's pristine footwear. Another chimed in with a cheeky: 'Andy rocking up just in time for smoko.' Hopefully they kept the noise down as Daily Mail Australia exclusively revealed, earlier this month, that some neighbours are less-than-enamoured with the protracted build. 'It's noisy. It's been noisy... It's frustrating because it's been going for a year and we've still got a couple more years to go,' one disgruntled person said. Though they went on to add the 'earthworks' was the noisiest portion of the build, the neighbour said nowadays it has 'actually settled down quite a bit'. Andy and Rebecca have grand plans for their Italianate manor, with the planned renovation worth an estimated $5million having begun in 2023. The comedian has been hard at work on the derelict Melbourne mansion, called Ravenswood, he bought for $8.5million in 2021, in a Block-style rebuild. The couple won council approval for their development application back in June 2023. Plans for the site include adding a second building which will be connected by a tunnel to the original Italianate mansion, which was built around 1876. Other highlights planned for the 1,950 square metre holding include a home theatre, a gym, a swimming pool and a 'mega bedroom'. In a statement to the Herald Sun, Boroondara Council confirmed it had issued a notice of decision to grant a planning permit for the Yarra Grove address. One neighbour told the Sydney Morning Herald in December the construction cacophony had caused the couple to lose 'a lot of community goodwill'. 'The noise is just horrendous,' the disgruntled neighbour told the publication.

‘The moon came into view and I searched for the perfect place to stand': Eric Kogan's best phone photo
New York-based photographer Eric Kogan took this picture on a family day of furniture and thrift-store hunting in Shelton, Connecticut, about a 90-minute drive from their Brooklyn home. En route, they stopped off in New Haven for a pizza. 'The city is famous for its top-notch pizza restaurants,' Kogan says. 'And the one we chose, Frank Pepe's, is rumoured to have invented the first-ever pizza box!' After lunch they continued on to Shelton, pulling into the large parking lot of a furniture sample store a little before 4pm. 'It was so tucked away that we kept questioning if we were heading in the right direction,' Kogan says. 'The moon came into view as we made our way to the entrance. The sun had just set and it was semi-daylight out. I searched for the perfect place to stand. I also had to underexpose the frame a bit, turning it down until the moon felt right: luminous and detailed against its subdued surroundings.' Kogan decided to leave the security cameras in the image untouched. 'It might have been cleaner without them, but, besides cropping and adjusting values, it's not in my practice to remove things from photos.' Kogan's wife, Melissa Breyer, is also a photographer; her image of a deli worker washing a window featured in a Smart shot column in 2022. Kogan insists that, partly because their styles are so different, there is no competition between the pair. 'Works by both of us travel to so many places that they've almost taken on a life of their own. We met through photography and our photos have found themselves to Smart shot independently. It doesn't get better than that!'

Maura Higgins replaced on Love Island USA spin-off as stunning new host is revealed
MAURA HIGGINS has been replaced as the presenter of Love Island USA spin off Aftersun. The Irish beauty hosted the sister show, which airs on streaming service Peacock in the US, for its fifth season last year. 5 5 5 Maura, 34, was also the social media presenter for the US version of the dating show. But now she has been replaced by Sophie Monk, who will be familiar to Love Island fans as she hosts the Australian version of the show. It is understood that Maura has not been axed however, and the shake-up is due to scheduling conflicts. An insider teased: "She wasn't able to commit to hosting Aftersun this season due to other work commitments, but she will be back on screen in some capacity later in the run." While it's not confirmed, one fan theory is that she is believed to be filming the US version of The Traitors, following in the footsteps of fellow Love Island star Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu. It is thought that she may return to host Aftersun for the second season of Love Island Games, which films later this year in Fiji. The cast for the next series of The Traitors USA has yet to be officially confirmed. The Love Island shake-up news was announced last night via an instagram post on the show's official account. Alongside a posed snap of a beaming sofa, the caption read: "Welcome Sophie Monk to the Aftersun family!" Main show host Ariana Madix, who found fame on Vanderpump Rules, shared her excitement over the new hire. "You guys have no idea how much i'm dying over this." Fans were quick to ask where Maura was. "Oh no! What happened?!" one worried follower wrote. But another reassured them, replying: "She's going to be on traitors. She's back for love island games." Maura is yet to make any official comment herself on social media. The Sun has contacted a rep for Maura for comment. 5 It's certainly been a tricky year for the star, who hails from County Longford, Ireland. Back in February, she faced a huge backlash after she was snapped sharing a drunken kiss with McFly's Danny Jones at a Brits after party. The pair grew close after starring on ITV's I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here! last November.
