New soulmates? Controversial MAFS star Jacqui Burfoot cuddles up to 'fake influencer' Suzan Mutesi at Australian Fashion Week
Jacqui Burfoot unveiled a new friendship with another controversial figure on Wednesday.
The Married At First Sight star was spotted on day three of Australian Fashion Week palling around with influencer Suzan Mutesi.
The pair looked quite chuffed to be in each other's company, cuddling up close as they posed for photographers.
Suzan put on another eye-catching display in a bright pink off the shoulder gown.
The glamorous tulle dress finished just above the knee, flaunting Suzan's trim pins.
The voluminous number featured a dramatic thick frill that snaked its way down Suzan's lithe frame and onto the long train that followed behind her.
Tying her locks back for the occasion, Suzan finished her fashion forward look with a pair of gold heels.
She accessorised with a pair of gold Yves Saint Laurent-logo earrings and a quirky clutch in the shape of a pair of ruby red lips.
Jacqui, meanwhile, looked stunning in a peach maxi dress from Australian label Aje.
The $695 frock featured layered ruffles throughout, a halter neckline and a fetching floral embellishment on the décolletage.
The reality star accessorised with a pair of gold drop earrings and two silver heart pendants around her neck.
Aside from cosying up to Suzan, Jacqui was also spotted enjoying the sartorial splendour with fiancé Clint Rice.
The MAFS groom was dapper in white for the occasion, stepping out in a classic quarter zip sweater and a matching pair of white chinos.
The reality star added an air of cool to his ensemble by popping the collar of his simple yet stylish jumper.
He finished the look with what appeared to be a pair of black Electric sunglasses.
The pair were happy to cuddle close for photographers, with Jacqui even giving a few fashionable spins to show off her AFW attire.
Suzan also turned more than a few heads on Tuesday, stepping out in a unique preppy outfit with a black sports coat hanging from her torso with just one sleeve.
Most recently, the 'fake influencer' was busted leaving a five star review on her own book, Love Beyond 30s, in a bid to boost sales.
The 38-year-old, who's been accused of everything from buying Instagram followers and photoshopping herself into private jets, was exposed by her nemesis Jamie Azzopardi in a series of savage posts shared to their Instagram in November.
The review, left under her own name, described the book as an 'empowering pursuit of self-worth' and claimed that her novel 'resonated deeply'.
It claimed the fiction was a 'must-read for anyone navigating their 30s with humour and heart'.
'The book brilliantly captures the highs and lows of dating beyond your 30s in this clever narrative. The relatable anecdotes and poignant moments had me laughing, cringing, and nodding along,' it read.
In a statement to Daily Mail Australia, the actress admitted to leaving the review.
'I wanted to share my genuine excitement and let readers know how much I believe in the journey this book offers,' she explained.
'Leaving my own review felt like speaking directly to each person who picks it up, as if to say, ''This was written with you in mind, and I hope it resonates deeply with you too.'' I just wanted to put my love for the book out there in my own words.'
Suzan also made headlines in July last year, when she was caught in another editing scandal after sharing some very glamorous pictures online.
Jacqui, meanwhile, became known as one of the most controversial brides in recent MAFS memory due to her tumultuous relationship with ex-Ryan Donnelly.
Following their less-than-amicable split, it was revealed that Jacqui and Clint, who was paired with Lauren Hall, had struck up a romance.
The couple then shocked fans by announcing their engagement during a Married At First Sight viewing party last month.
'We haven't set a wedding date yet, but we're hoping it will be between January and March next year,' Jacqui said in a recent Instagram clip.
'We're actually ready for kids and babies.
'Personally, I want to get married before I get pregnant. I don't want to be dealing with the drama of being pregnant and having a wedding dress be altered throughout my pregnancy.
'We're very keen to get married ASAP.'

Aldi to launch £3.99 version of viral ‘Dubai chocolate' bars – and it's cheaper than Morrisons
ALDI is set to launch its own version of the wildly popular Dubai-style chocolate bar. The indulgent treat features layers of rich pistachio cream and crunchy kadayif pastry, all encased in smooth milk chocolate. 1 Aldi is selling a Dubai Chocolate Style bar Inspired by the viral sensation that took social media by storm, this 100g bar offers a luxurious taste experience without the hefty price tag. It will be hitting Aldi shelves across the UK on Thursday, June 12, for just £3.99. With no purchase limits, shoppers can stock up on this affordable delight. But, as with all Aldi Specialbuys, once they're gone, they're gone. Other supermarkets have also jumped on the Dubai chocolate trend. Lidl previously offered its JD Gross Dubai-Style Chocolate bar for also £3.99, which sold out rapidly. Waitrose introduced a No.1 White Chocolate with Pistachio Nuts & Sea Salt bar priced at £2.75, offering a sweet and salty twist on the classic. Morrisons sells the Bolci Dubai Chocolate With Pistachio Kadayif Filled Milk Chocolate at £5 for a 100g bar. Lindt's take on the trend is a 145g Dubai-Style Chocolate bar filled with pistachio and kadayif pastry, retailing at £10. But at £3.99, Aldi's will be the cheapest in stores. We've outdone ourselves with this one' say Cadbury Ireland as they reveal new limited edition bar 'coming soon Its always worth checking around different stores to compare prices and land the best deal. Websites like Google Shopping, PriceSpy, and Idealo can be invaluable tools for this. They allow you to track price histories and compare offerings across various retailers, ensuring you get the most bang for your buck. SAVE MONEY AT ALDI Keeping your eyes peeled for cheap Specialbuys is just one way to save money at Aldi. The supermarket often comes out cheapest for a smaller trolley of items in Which? surveys as well, including in April. The consumer website recently found a shopping list of 79 items would have cost you £135.95 on average across the month. Rival Lidl was close behind, with the same shop costing £136.64, if you had a Lidl Plus card. It's worth keeping an eye out for any red sticker products too, which are added to items going out of date or that are slightly damaged. Aldi tends to add them to items in the morning so it's best to get to your local branch early if you want to get the best discounts. Take advantage of Aldi's cheap alcohol which could save you some cash compared to going with branded versions. Look out for Too Good to Go "Surprise Bags" as well.

Tully's enjoys busy start after opening in Llandrindod
IT'S been a busy few weeks for renowned Powys chef Jamie Tully, who opened his own American-style diner and sports bar in Llandrindod Wells at the end of May. Tully's Sports Diner opened on the ground floor of the Hampton Hotel on Wednesday, May 21, with the talented 31-year-old chef determined to bring customers a 'one-of-a-kind experience'. Tully's is open Wednesday and Thursday nights, as well as throughout the day on Fridays and Saturdays, and Jamie says it's been a frenetic start to life at the venue. 'It has been a very busy two weeks,' said Jamie, from Builth Wells. 'We are open and we have got off to a great start with a full restaurant every day since we opened. 'We have for sure had some teething issues, which was to be expected, but everything is hopefully on the right track.' Tully's is based at the spa town's Hampton Hotel. The idea for an American-themed restaurant came from Jamie's extensive travels across the world, and his longing for a genuine US road-style diner, combining that with a sports bar. 'The biggest thing I missed from my travels and work in the US was a proper American bar and a place where you can watch all of the American and global sports events,' he said previously. 'Tully's will be a food-led, American-style sports bar, serving up great food and a place where you can watch all of your favourite sports, including all the US sports. Tully's moved a step closer to becoming a reality when Jamie had a conversation with Neil Sanders, owner of the Hampton Hotel, with the Temple Street diner now occupying the building that was formerly the home of the Worth Your Salt burger joint. 'Together, we wanted to create something different for the town,' added Jamie. 'I am extremely excited to bring something different and with my travels and experience I hope to create a special place in the town.' Tully's advertises itself as classic American-style dining – 'Think crispy wings, juicy burgers and perfectly crafted sandwiches,' it said in a post on its Facebook page. 'Step into a space filled with old-school American charm, from US car plates to vintage beer signs," it reads. Jamie set up his own private chef business, Tully's Unit 13, in Llandrindod about a year ago.

Clothing sale will be ‘largest Princess Diana auction ever'
An auction featuring more than 200 items will be the 'largest Princess Diana auction ever', according to its director. Julien's Auctions' Princess Diana's Style And A Royal Collection live sale will take place on Thursday June 26 and will include clothing worn by the late Diana, Princess of Wales, with the aim of celebrating her style and preserving her legacy. Items include a silk floral printed day dress designed by Bellville Sassoon, estimated to fetch between 200,000 and 300,000 US dollars (£148,000 to £222,000), and an embroidered evening gown, designed by Catherine Walker, with the same estimated selling price. Martin Nolan, co-founder of Julien's Auctions, told the PA news agency: 'This is the largest Princess Diana auction ever. Diana herself did an auction in 1997 to raise money for charity, sadly two months before we tragically lost Diana. 'So now we have over 100 items representing her amazing life and her career, and of course, she's the mum of the future king of England, Prince William, so we have really iconic outfits. 'Diana was a style icon, she knew what to wear, when to wear it, what was appropriate, she knew how to send a message by what she was wearing. 'She was very shy, but she knew by the items of clothing, it became sort of her uniform if you will and, of course, with all the amazing power suits you see behind me, the message she sent. 'She knew how to dress when she went on a royal visit to Saudi Arabia, or the United Arab Emirates, and when she was going to a hospital, she knew to wear bright colours that sick children would feel that she was likeable, huggable, approachable, and she brought hope wherever she went.' Up for auction will be a collection of clothes and artefacts from British royal history, including items that belonged to the late Queen Elizabeth II, Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother and other members of the royal family, some dating as far back as the 19th century. Nolan said the market for items relating to Diana had increased thanks to Netflix series The Crown. He said: 'The Crown certainly has introduced Diana to a whole new younger generation, and they relate to her and they love her, and they love her style, they love her innocence, they love her sense of fun. 'They love her messaging, and they love what she had to live through, the challenges she had to deal with, and she overcame them all, and so it's a success story. 'Sad ending, of course, but like the younger generation loved that, and that's why Diana's prices have been impacted so much, and are increasing more and more.' Elizabeth Emanuel, who designed a number of items of clothing for Diana, including her wedding dress, said: 'When Diana first came to us for all of these dresses, she didn't have a lot of ideas of her own, because fashion wasn't her number one subject 'She didn't really take much of an interest in it, and we were very lucky to have been involved with her at the beginning, when she was developing her own style. 'And then over the years, you could see her being more and more confident in what she was wearing and knowing her own style, so we were very lucky to have been there in the formative years.' Julien's Auctions held a sale of Diana's items last year, billed as the most extensive collection of Diana's personal belongings since 1997. The auction house previously sold one of Diana's gowns for 1.14 million US dollars (£843,000) and a pair of her shoes for 390,000 US dollars (£288,000). The live auction will take place at The Peninsula Beverly Hills, California, in the US, on Thursday June 26. A portion of the sale of the Diana items will benefit Muscular Dystrophy UK.
