Jack Vidgen appears in good health as he attends church service with his mother after seventh stint in rehab
The troubled former Australia's Got Talent star stepped out on Sunday for a visit to a local Sydney church with his mum.
The pop singer was joined by mother Rachel Hayton, with the pair enjoying a coffee and a walk after the service.
Jack appeared in good health and good spirits as he strolled along sipping from a takeaway cup and puffing on a vape.

Jack completed his look with a pair of sunglasses and chatted happily to his mum, who brought her dog along for the walk.
He had earlier sat down at a local cafe with his mum and enjoyed a spirit conversation that left him smiling.
It comes after Jack shared a heartbreaking 'belated' Mother's Day message to his mum ahead of his seventh visit to rehab.
The 28-year-old, who announced earlier this year that he was once again battling addiction in a rehab centre after a recent relapse, shared the sweet post for his followers.
He included a selfie, in which his adoring mother can be seen embracing him on a park bench.
Jack said it was a 'late' Mother's Day post, explaining he didn't get to see his mum for the big day earlier that month.
He also confessed that when the picture was taken his mother had travelled to see him and asked him to get him professional help for his addiction battle, but he refused.
'I took this pic of mum and I on the 16th April, last month. It was right in the middle of my relapse,' he continued.
'She'd driven from down from the coast, where she lives, in hopes we would have coffee and that I would come back with her and maybe check in to rehab.
'I saw how much it broke her heart as I told her I had no plans of getting sober and that I wouldn't be coming back with her.
'I know that being the person with the addiction is hard, but being a family member, I think especially a parent of someone who goes through addiction, would be so painful and would leave you feeling helpless.
'Mum, you are an absolute angel and warrior. You've been through so much yourself and you've loved and supported me through this battle with such compassion yet also giving me tough love when I've needed it.
'You're an incredible woman and are so loved by so many, I hope you know that.'
He signed off the message 'Bestest mum in the whole wide world' and added two kisses.
Jack earlier posted to social media with a tearful message to share the sad news that he had returned to a rehabilitation centre for the seventh time.
The singer explained he recently suffered a relapse and was once again fighting addiction.
'Hi, this is not the video I was hoping to make five months down the track after [not] posting anything on Instagram,' Jack said.
Choking back sobs, Jack detailed his recent experience.
'I relapsed, that was two months ago,' he said.
'Just like that - I feel like I've let a lot of people down and I wasn't going to talk about it again, because half of me is like "Oh shut up Jack, no one wants to hear it."'
Jack also revealed he made a police 'report' over an unspecified matter that has led him to 'feeling scared'.
'But I just feel like I need to tell someone that I have a situation coming up in a couple of months...' he continued.
'I just feel think I'm just really scared. I've been really scared for so many years.'
He signed off by telling followers he was not 'doing okay' but he would be 'okay'.
Jack, who has often taken to social media over the years to share his addiction troubles, also posted a lengthy caption for the video.
He signed off by telling followers he was not 'doing okay' but he would be 'okay'
'I made a police report five years ago and it's just been lingering like this dark cloud over my life for so long and I just want it to be over and I think I just wanted to do a reach out,' he said.
'If you're a victim you understand. If you're a victim through addiction you'd understand even more.
'It's just been really hard and i don't know I just want to talk about it because I want to talk about it with people but they don't get it.
'Anyway the point of this video was just to check in and say hello and just let you know that i'm not doing okay but I will be doing okay.'
Elsewhere in the post Jack said: 'I'm scared for the future. As I mentioned I have a situation coming up in the next couple months that's been lingering for the last 5 years. Something that I wouldn't wish upon my worst enemy. I've been so terrified but it's time I step into my strength and my truth.
'As a victim of sexual abuse I will get through this. Alive. I love you all. Jack x.'
The performer rose to fame after winning the fifth season of Australia's Got Talent in 2011.
After bowing out of the spotlight for a few years, he returned to prominence in 2019 as a contestant on The Voice.
He made it all the way to the semi-finals before being eliminated.

Huge sand artwork highlights how child poverty means millions miss out in summer
A giant sand portrait has been unveiled to show how millions of youngsters in Britain miss out on days out during the summer holidays because of poverty, children's charity Barnardo's said. The 50-square-metre piece on Bridlington beach in East Yorkshire, created by landscape artists from Sand In Your Eye and the charity's youth ambassadors, is a portrait of a child with the words 'Wish I was there' written beneath it. According to Barnardo's research, more than seven million children across the UK live in families who have had to cut their spending on summer activities, and the charity said missing out can affect youngsters' mental health. Lynn Perry, the charity's chief executive, said: 'Parents desperately want to give their children special summer memories but the reality is many are just trying to survive.' The piece is part of their campaign against child poverty and Ruth Welford, assistant director of children's services at Barnardo's, said many families across the UK are struggling to afford to feed their children. Ruth says: 'I've been at Barnardo's for nearly 30 years, but some of the recent stories I've heard from colleagues at the charity have stopped me in my tracks. 'A pregnant woman choosing between paying her bills and eating a meal. A dad needing heart surgery, losing his job and in debt, simply unable to feed his children. It is devastating that families in the UK are living in such awful circumstances. 'Many families are struggling to afford to feed their children, so unfortunately trips to the beach or days out at the zoo don't even factor into their plans. Millions of children are in danger of growing up without any fun summer memories.' The portrait, which was created on Friday afternoon, washed away in the high tide that evening.

Inside Yahoo Serious' Hollywood downfall, from having the world at his feet in a $3 million mansion with his glamourous wife, to living out of his car at age 72
In 1988, an unknown bloke with a strange name from Australia's coal-mining heartland became the toast of Hollywood. Yahoo Serious blazed to international success with his film Young Einstein - which he directed and starred in - making $20 million at the box office. His professional relationship with his movie-making collaborator Lulu Pinkus - herself an acclaimed Australian actress and artist - had blossomed into romance. They married in 1989. Yahoo was on top of the world, with US media describing him as 'the next big thing from Down Under'. Which makes it all the more shocking that almost 40 years later, he is understood to be homeless in Sydney after being evicted for illegally squatting in a Palm Beach mansion. The 72-year-old was forced to flee with his Jack Russell terrier Jingle after police were called to help his landlord kick him out last Tuesday. Serious left an array of items behind in his ageing BMW sedan, which lies abandoned outside the Barrenjoey Road home, including a box of Jingle's medication, Ugg boots, a length of rope, an esky, and a cooking pan. It's understood he may still be on the city's northern beaches, given his longtime affinity for the area. In much better times, the then Mr and Mrs Serious owned a stunning house on Norma Road, which overlooked the postcard-perfect biscuit-coloured sands of Palm and Whale beaches. The four-bedroom, three-bathroom home featured a pool with a stunning vista over the Pacific Ocean, which the couple sold in 2011 for $3.1 million. It's now estimated to be worth $5.8 million. Ms Pinkus and Serious split in 2007, after working together on Einstein, Reckless Kelly (1993) and Mr Accident (2000). On his website, Yahoo described Lulu as 'My partner in everything. She is an extremely versatile artist. Lulu works so silently that few people are aware that every character and every scene is so enriched by her critical eye and deft touch.' They divorced in 2010. It's not known why they split, but it appears to mark the beginning of Serious' downward spiral. Ms Pinkus has fared far better since the divorce, moving to a waterfront apartment overlooking Sydney's Double Bay, which she bought for $1.5 million in 2011. Today, it would be worth around $2.9 million. He once lived on Palm Beach's Norma Road, with stunning views over the Pacific Ocean She was not at home when Daily Mail approached her for comment on Tuesday. Serious, apparently attached to the northern beaches, rented an apartment in Avalon, which he was evicted from in 2020 for not paying rent - and was ordered to pay his landlord $15,000 in arrears. Not long after, he was homeless and living out of his car with his dog at Palm Beach, using its public shower block for his ablutions, when kindhearted local Margie Charlton took pity on the ageing former star. She told the Daily Mail in June that she invited him to live in the granny flat at the home of Palm Beach resident Charles Phillip Porter, for whom she held power of attorney. Ms Charlton, who lived in nearby Avalon, explained that while she took care of Mr Porter's cooking and cleaning, she wanted someone around to keep an eye on her ageing charge when she wasn't there. She said it was made clear to Serious that the offer only stood until Mr Porter was moved to a nursing home when his dementia advanced so far that living in his mansion was no longer feasible. She would then need Serious to vacate the property so she could sell it to help with Mr Porter's care. But when the time came, Serious not only refused to leave - he had moved from the basement into the main house. This kick-started an ugly battle between Serious and Ms Charlton in the NSW Civil and Administrative Tribunal, which came to a head earlier this month. Serious was ordered to leave by August 4, and after an altercation between him and Ms Charlton on August 5 - in which he claimed she was being violent, which Ms Charlton vehemently denies - police turfed him out. In the days before his eviction, Serious claimed he was not squatting, but 'surviving'. It is understood he has been receiving treatment for Lymphoma, and indeed in the past year has appeared a shadow of his former self. 'I'm greatly improving, I was very close to death very recently … I just, I'm coming good but I'm having trouble with just, recall of day to day things,' he said during his tribunal appearance. In 2016, he underwent debilitating hip surgery. A quirky website registered to Serious in 2000 - the same year he tried and failed to sue the search engine Yahoo! for trademark infringement -provides an insight into his chaotic mind. After growing up as Greg Pead in NSW's Cardiff, near Newcastle, he explained on his site why he changed his name by deed poll in 1980. 'Each day there are a million choices to be made starting with what you put on your toast. You're born with a name but so what?' he said. 'You can choose every other aspect of your life, so why not your name?' In an undated interview posted to his site, Serious said he sees himself as, 'Nasty, untrustworthy, rude, unreliable, and childish'. A perhaps foreboding sentence uttered years before he left a trail of furious landlords in his wake. Now, grave fears are held for Serious and his dog Jingle's wellbeing. When he was forced to leave the Barrenjoey Road home, Sydney was suffering through days of cold rainstorms. Neighbours did not know where the fallen Hollywood star and his faithful dog went after being kicked out, and his car remained untouched a week after the eviction. A Daily Mail search of the Palm Beach area - where he once enjoyed prime position in the home he shared with Lulu - turned up no sign of Serious or Jingle.

Jodie Whittaker is far too good for this contrived Aussie thriller
You'd be forgiven for thinking you've seen something like this before, as the Australia-set thrillers have been coming to our screens thick and fast recently (see also The Last Anniversary, The Secrets She Keeps, Apples Never Fall). This one, which had a brief showing on Paramount+ in 2023 but is now on ITV1, stars former Doctor Who lead Jodie Whittaker. Sadly it's so lacklustre that Whittaker might wish that she'd opted to eat kangaroo genitalia on I'm a Celebrity with Ant and Dec instead. Since hanging up her sonic screwdriver, Whittaker has spread her wings in eclectic roles. She played an imprisoned single mother in gut-punch BBC drama Time and was the standout star of Netflix's factual drama Toxic Town. Here she loses her native Yorkshire tones to adopt an Australian accent. I'm no expert in Antipodean linguistics, but she does a decent job. Set on the stunning New South Wales coast, One Night follows three women – Tess (Whittaker), Simone (Nicole da Silva) and Hat (Yael Stone) – who remain haunted by a harrowing event during their teens. Twenty years later, Simone writes a thinly disguised novel about that fateful night. It reopens wounds in cathartic ways. There's the germ of an interesting drama here about trauma and truth, justice and healing. But whenever it looks about to emerge, it gets bogged down in repetitive flashbacks or clichéd contrivances. Supporting characters are uniformly ghastly – either leering small-town gangsters, spoilt kids or self-serving adults. Worst of all, there's a fatal flaw at the heart of the story. Simone stole Tess's tragedy for her own gain, yet we're supposed to sympathise as she makes her friend's pain all about her. Stretched out over six episodes, One Night moves with all the urgency of an asthmatic koala. With its ocean views and high-flying female friends, it's a try-hard Sydney spin on Big Little Lies. Whittaker is rawly convincing as a sexual assault victim whose repressed memories come bubbling to the surface. Tess is a mass of body issues: bulimic, covered in tattoos, prone to pulling her hair out. There's a wordless scene in the finale where Whittaker acts her socks off with facial expressions alone. It's just a shame the script isn't in the same league as her performance. One Night is available now on ITVX and begins on ITV1 on Saturday 16 August at 9.30pm
