Terry Bailey: See the moment top Aussie sport commentator wins fans for his hilarious and VERY rude reaction to an emergency in the middle of an event
Veteran Australian horse racing commentator Terry Bailey has won a host of fans with a moment of comedic gold on Monday after an alarm went off while he was midway through calling a race.
It was business as usual for Race 6 at Mornington Racecourse, with the field thundering for home and Bailey focusing on calling the action - when suddenly an alarm sounded in the booth.
Bailey hardly paused at the unexpected interruption and kept doing his job with both wit and professionalism.
'An alarm goes off to scare the s**t out of the race caller', Bailey exclaimed as he continued describing the action.
The alarm continued to sound for the rest of the race, with Williamstown storming home to win.
Bailey got through the race without missing a beat, before mentioning the alarm again.
'That alarm is right over my head, it scared the living bejesus out of me,' he explained.
'We need to evacuate... I think I'll stay here, I've got a feeling it's a false alarm.'
He then started talking to Racing.com host Edward Sadler.
'Edward, if you've got anything Nurofen or Panadol in the studio, can you send it out to me? This is going to send me bonkers,'
The clip has since done the rounds on social media, with fans loving Bailey's reaction.
'Called that race like a champion and didn't break stride once,' posted one X user.
'Terry Bailey with another classic call,' replied another.
'First class from Terry,' posted a third.
Fortunately for those in the booth, the alarm turned out to be false and the next race was called without a hitch.

F1 calendar announced for 2026 season - as fans lament one Grand Prix that will be 'deeply missed' with a new race added for the first time
The Formula One calendar for the 2026 season has been confirmed in an announcement released by the organisation on Tuesday morning. It will see another 24-race campaign take place, but with one fan-favourite Grand Prix nowhere to be seen on the list. Meanwhile, a new race in Madrid has been earmarked for the weekend of September 11-13 subject to FIA approval of the circuit. The sport's traditional curtain-raiser in Australia will occur from March 6-8 with the final race of the season being the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix from December 4-6. Elsewhere, the Canadian Grand Prix will be moved to an earlier slot on the penultimate weekend of May as the FIA implements further 'improvements to the geographical flow of races' - meaning it will follow the race in Miami. That paves the way for an expanded European run of races, beginning with the Monaco Grand Prix on the first weekend of June and culminating with the new race in the Spanish capital. However, some fans were dismayed to learn that the Emilia Romagna Grand Prix - held at the historic Imola circuit in San Marino - had been omitted. Taking to X, formerly Twitter, one user wrote: 'Woke up to the worst news ever. imola GP, you will be deeply missed'. A second lamented: 'We lost Imola to add another street circuit and five million years more of Miami GP'. Another remarked: 'it's very sad & disappointing that Imola is not on the calendar'. A further comment questioned: 'A country can't have more than one Grand Prix, so no Imola, but here you go with two races in Spain and three in the United States'. With Ramadan taking place throughout February and March in 2026, both the Bahrain and Saudi Arabian Grands Prix will be held in April. Following the new race in Madrid, the sport will return to Asia for the Azerbaijan and Singapore Grands Prix, prior to three successive races in the Americas, before Las Vegas, Qatar and Abu Dhabi close out the season. Formula 1 President and CEO Stefano Domenicali said: '2026 will be a new era for Formula 1 where we will witness a brand-new set of regulations for our sport, the cars and the engines that will be powered by 100% sustainable fuel. Taking to X, formerly Twitter, fans voiced their disappointment over the omission of the Emilia Romagna Grand Prix at Imola 'We are excited to welcome Madrid to the calendar, and to see huge automotive brands like Audi, Cadillac and Ford join the Formula 1 grid.' 'It promises to be an unforgettable season, where once again we will come together at 24 amazing global venues to watch the best drivers in the world push themselves to the limit and produce incredible wheel to wheel racing for our millions of fans watching around the globe. 'I want to thank all our fans for their passionate support and the FIA for their commitment and support in delivering this schedule in what I know will be another historic year for Formula 1.' Full F1 2026 race calendar March 6-8: Australia March 13-15 China Shanghai March 27-29 Japan Suzuka April 10-12 Bahrain Sakhir April 17-19 Saudi Arabia Jeddah May 1-3 USA Miami May 22-24 Canada Montreal June 5-7 Monaco Monaco June 12-14 Spain Barcelona-Catalunya June 26-28 Austria Spielberg July 3-5 United Kingdom Silverstone July 17-19 Belgium Spa-Francorchamps July 24-26 Hungary Budapest August 21-23 Netherlands Zandvoort September 4-6 Italy Monza September 11-13 Spain Madrid* September 25-27 Azerbaijan Baku October 9-11 Singapore Singapore October 23-25 USA Austin October 30 - November 1 Mexico Mexico City November 6-8 Brazil Sao Paulo November 19-21 USA Las Vegas November 27-29 Qatar Lusail December 4-6 Abu Dhabi Yas Marina

Farmer Wants A Wife fans left baffled after major 'editing fail' in a teaser for the Channel Seven show's upcoming episode
Farmer Wants A Wife fans have been left scratching their heads after a recent teaser exposed an editing fail. In the trailer, Farmer Jack, 26, could be seen enjoying a romantic black tie dinner date with two of his chosen matches, Olivia, 27, and Sarah, 29, at a dimly lit dinner table. However, fans were quick to point out that it was an editing fail, as there were four women on Jack's farm at the end of the previous episode. Fans also noted that there were four wine glasses on the table and only three people pictured. 'What happened? We didn't see Jack send anyone home and then we see the ad for tomorrow night,' one person wrote. 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. In the trailer, Farmer Jack, 26, could be seen enjoying a romantic black tie date dinner with two of his chosen matches, Olivia, 27, and Sarah, 29, at the dinner table Another chimed in: 'No, Monique (black hair) was not at the black tie previews.' 'What happened to Jack farewelling his person? Did I miss something? Well done Channel 7 editing department,' one fan savagely penned. However, the network seemingly fixed the editing fail, with the latest trailer posted to Instagram showing Hayley, 23, in a bright pink dress at the city dinner. On Monday night's episode of Farmer Wants A Wife, Farmer Thomas came to the end of his emotional quest to find love. The South Australian wheat, barley, and lentil farmer, 35, declared his feelings for school teacher Clarette, 35. Realising that Clarette was the one, Thomas asked to speak with Rachael and Jess separately to tell them that Clarette had won his heart. Both ladies wished him well before leaving the farm together. Making his boldest move yet, Thomas left a handwritten note asking Clarette to meet him at sunset for an important conversation. Encircled by candles, Thomas locked eyes on Clarette and smiled as she walked towards him. The pair held hands before a nervous Thomas took a long, slow breath to steady himself. Thomas recalled the day the pair first met, saying, 'Clarette, when you walked into that room, my eyes just locked on you, and you took my hand, and that really meant a lot to me.' 'We've had our ups and downs, but we managed to get through them strong,' he continued, before telling Clarette how beautiful she looked. Thomas told Clarette she would make the most 'beautiful' wife and mother before delivering the words she had been waiting to hear. 'Clarette, I love you,' he declared in the moving moment. Wiping away tears, an emotional Clarette responded, 'I love you too. We're in love, it's official!' After confirming their bond Clarette said in a piece to camera, 'It feels amazing to be in love. 'It's what everyone kind of wants and hopes for in life, and it's been a long time coming for me. This is it for us, and I can't wait for our future.'

Footy heartthrob Nicho Hynes' partner reveals intimate photos from their romance - as one pic leaves NRL fans absolutely STUNNED
Nicho Hynes' partner Piper Wallis has marked the couple's one-year anniversary with a romantic display on social media - but left fans confused by a photo of them holding a baby. Wallis, 23, posted a series of photos to Instagram recently celebrating the milestone and offering followers a surprising glimpse of their very private relationship. The montage included touching moments from the last year, including shots of them at the beach, attending a wedding and away on holidays together. Over the weekend, Wallis posted some more photos, including a shot of the couple holding a baby - which some fans thought was theirs. 'Can't believe you hid a whole pregnancy,' posted one follower. 'Congrats guys,' said another. 'So happy for the new parents,' posted a third. One of Piper's friends posted in the comments that her child loved meeting his 'aunty and uncle', confirming that the baby isn't theirs. Hynes, 28, has been single for most of his professional playing career and has been very private about his personal life, with the exception of his family. But he has been happy to share images and videos with his new partner, Piper. The star playmaker will be looking to turn things around for the Sharks who suffered a heavy defeat to the high-flying Warriors on the weekend. The loss, which sees the Sharks losing touch with the top four, comes after a 42-16 thumping against the Sydney Roosters. 'It's a simple game sometimes. If you don't get the simple and the hardest parts right then that's what happens to you,' said coach Craig Fitzgibbon. 'The second half, we can defend better than that and we will defend better than that and we need to defend better than that and we'll work on defending better than that.' Hynes said getting off social media and spending time with loved ones have been the secrets to his happiness this season. The 28-year-old is currently living with his girlfriend, best mate and mother - as well as his beloved dog. 'He doesn't give a s*** if I win or lose,' Hynes said of his four-legged buddy. 'I've got things in place where I don't need to be around negativity. 'I don't need nay-sayers in my life, I don't go on social media anymore, I just put myself around people who love me and I love.
