Kyle Sandilands' ex Imogen Anthony reveals scary taxi ordeal in Sydney: 'How is this even allowed this to happen?'
The model and former girlfriend of Kyle Sandliands took to Instagram on Monday to document the terrifying ordeal with videos, which showed her persistently asking the uninvited taxi rider to leave the vehicle.
'Wrong car. Out you get,' the 34-year-old could be heard telling the man, whose words were so slurred that he was indecipherable as he argued with Imogen.
'This is not your car, this is not your car,' she stipulated.
Imogen detailed the experience in the caption of the Instagram story, writing that she'd 'jumped out to grab ciggies on the way home' when the 'random' jumped into the car she had hired.

'Why the driver even allowed this to happen is beyond me' she wrote.
In a follow-up clip, Imogen could be seen interrogating the driver, asking him why he didn't intervene.
'There a reason you let him in then? Or he just opened the door and you let him in?' she questioned the driver.
'Yeah,' he said, to which she replied, 'Yeah, okay. Very strange. Did you ask him for his name? Obviously not.'
Imogen then took aim at Sydney, calling it a 'joke' in the video's caption.
In another clip, she said: 'This driver knew this guy wasn't part of my car. He'd already picked me up.
'The driver's not asked for the name of the booking. He just let him sit in the back with all my personal effects and still wouldn't really help me get him out the car. I asked this guy multiple times.'
She then added that the driver should've 'picked up' on the fact that the man was drunk and should've helped her get him out of the car.
Daily Mail Australia has reached out to Uber for comment.
This isn't the first time the Aussie star has had a negative taxi experience.
A year ago, Imogen shared a scathing video to social media of her losing it at her allegedly reckless Uber driver.
The glamorous influencer posted footage to Instagram of her riding in the backseat of an Uber, as she lashed out at the driver for disobeying the road rules.
'I don't care if you think you are going the speed limit. You have been having a phone conversation with your girlfriend the entire time,' a frustrated Imogen told the driver.
She then accused the employee of breaking several other road rules, including driving under the speed limit and 'swerving all over the road'.
'If I ask you to at least do the speed limit then give me the courtesy of doing that. You're pretty much having phone sex the entire time and I am not into it.
'Next time you are going to do that, at least ask people if they are okay with it, that's the least you could do.'
The off-screen driver could then be heard responding with 'no worries' to Imogen's request.

Lewis Hamilton hints he is taking a break with cryptic two-word tweet after Ferrari star's F1 struggles
LEWIS HAMILTON has put fans on alert after making a curt and cryptic post to his social media accounts. The seven-time world champion hinted that he is taking a break from social media in a two-word post uploaded to his 8.6 million followers on X. 4 4 4 The F1 legend has had a tough run of things in recent weeks as he continues his struggle to find his feet with new team Ferrari this season. Hamilton's message to fans was simply "back soon," implying the British sporting icon is stepping away from social media for a spell. This ties in with his earlier posts from this afternoon, when he posted a scenic picture of him and his bulldog Roscoe with the caption "Outta office." He posted similar sentiments to his Instagram account, captioning the same images "DND" - Do Not Disturb. When one fan replied with "touching grass, literally" - a reference to a phrase meaning to get out of your house or place of work and go outside, he replied in agreement. "Exactly," the 40-year-old said, suggesting he is taking the time away from social media to reconnect with other areas of his life. It is no surprise that the racing champion is keen to get away from it all, considering the brutal few weeks he has been through recently on the track. Hamilton did not land with the splash he was hoping for since making the switch from Mercedes to Ferrari ahead of the 2025 season and has failed to make any real headway in the championship race. CASINO SPECIAL - BEST CASINO BONUSES FROM £10 DEPOSITS He is yet to register a podium finish this season, and sits 42 points behind teammate and five-time podium holder Charles Leclerc in the drivers' standings. But it was in the most recent races in Belgium and Hungary that things really escalated for the Stevenage native. Hamilton had a nightmare start to the Belgian Grand Prix weekend at Spa in late July, qualifying in 16th after a shocking knockout in Q1. But things went from bad to worse as he was slapped with a 60-place grid penalty and forced to start from 18th after taking on a new power unit. He was keen to right his wrongs at the Hungarian GP the following week, but things were only going to get more dire. Hamilton only managed to make it to Q2 at the Hungaroring, prompting an outburst in a post-qualifying interview in which he labelled himself "absolutely useless." "It's me every time. I'm useless, absolutely useless," he said following his 12th place qualifying finish. 4 "The team have no problem. You've seen the car's on pole so we probably need to change driver." Former team boss Toto Wolff came out in defence of Hamilton following his comments, and suggested that he could still come back and challenge at the very top of the sport. F1 icon Bernie Ecclestone was perhaps the Brit's harshest critic, suggesting Hamilton should retire before his legacy suffers at the hands of his declining performances. Whether it be his conduct on or off the track, or the comments of those around him in F1, it is becoming increasingly clear that the pressure is mounting on the shoulders of one of the best to ever do it. His next chance to turn things around will be at the Dutch GP at Zandvoort in two weeks.

A popular children's author has pleaded guilty to sex offences laid against him. Oliver Phommavanh, 41, was arrested and charged with online grooming on May 16 last year. Phommavanh allegedly sent inappropriate images to someone he thought was a 13-year-old girl. NSW State Crime Command's Sex Crimes Squad detectives launched an investigation after receiving an interstate report that the children's author had allegedly been communicating inappropriately with a child online.

The egg flight trend: Tim Dowling ranks 10 boiled egg appetisers - from perfect to never again
Generally speaking, the more TikTok trends you allow to pass you by in a year, the better. But some trends refuse to cease, and the egg flight is turning out to be one of them. The egg flight, in all its many forms, persists. Simply put, an egg flight is to hard-boiled eggs what a wine flight is to wine – a varietal sampling, presented in one sitting. Unlike devilled eggs, where the yolk is scooped out, mashed with mayonnaise and spices and piped back into its former cavity, the egg flight is just some eggs – most commonly three, in six upturned halves – with different stuff piled on top. The result is meant to be a quick but still fancy appetiser range, destined to impress your guests, your family, or at least the rest of TikTok. The originator and chief populariser of the egg flight (or #eggflight) is an American cookery blogger and TikToker called Alice Choi (AKA @hipfoodiemom1). She has been doing them for years, but her egg demonstrations first went viral this time last year, and egg-flight TikTok posts now number in the thousands. All over the world, people are still getting excited about their egg flights. Would-be egg-flight makers are encouraged to get creative and try new things, but in practice the discipline seems to involve a lot of imitation, in keeping with the average TikToker's overarching definition of originality: the exact same thing, but with me doing it. In that same spirit, here are 10 popular variations, dutifully copied and ranked. A quick note: my eggs were boiled for just under 11 minutes, plunged into ice water, then carefully peeled and halved. Before you begin, I recommend putting a small blob of mayonnaise on the plate beneath each egg half to stop it rocking back and forth while you dress it. 1. The Classic. In one of her viral tutorials, @hipfoodiemom1 offers the closest thing we may ever have to an Egg Flight Theory: the ideal egg requires something creamy, topped by something tangy, topped by something sour and/or crunchy. The Classic is the most basic combo to follow that formula and it's easily the best: mayo, dijon mustard and a slice of dill pickle. That's it – stop there. It's essentially a lazy person's devilled egg, and, honestly, it cannot be improved upon. 2. Kimchi. Another of Choi's creamy/tangy/sour stacks, with a mayo-mustard base and fermented cabbage at its apex. Overall this may be your best bet, since it's easier to buy good kimchi in the UK than it is to find a decent dill pickle. 3. Smoked salmon. A popular school of thought in egg-flight circles involves treating the egg as if it were some other foodstuff – in this case, a bagel layered with cream cheese, smoked salmon, capers, dill and possibly some poppy or sesame seeds. This sort of variation often flounders on its implicit unfulfilled promise – a hard-boiled egg is not a bagel, after all – but it works here because all the ingredients share a general breakfast vibe. 4. Caprese. Mozzarella, tomato, a single, appropriately sized basil leaf and a drizzle of balsamic vinegar. By now you will have noticed a key drawback to the egg flight: you need a huge variety of ingredients – in very small amounts – to produce six completely different eggs. There is ultimately more shopping than cooking involved. The caprese salad egg is a nice idea, but at this point the notion of not bothering is also beginning to take hold. 5. Mexican. Across TikTok, you will find egg halves piled with a selection of some, if not all, of the following: guacamole, taco meat, tortilla slivers or crumbs, onion, tomato, sour cream, hot sauce, coriander, jalapeño. Of course that's way too many things – I strongly advise you to stick with a maximum of four. Anyway, these ingredients are not the problem. The problem is the hard-boiled egg at the bottom: it doesn't belong. 6. Pickled onion. Again, the rule of smooth-tangy-sour applies here – you need all three to offset the rubbery blandness of the egg. Choi pickles her own onions with rosemary and cinnamon and always has a jar on hand, but you can easily manage a quick pickle – thinly sliced onion steeped in salt and rice vinegar for half an hour. Or, in an emergency, you can just use mayo, mustard and raw onion, although I can't really imagine the set of circumstances that would lead to an egg-flight emergency. 7. Tzatziki. My only original contribution to the egg-flight canon, because I found that I had some tzatziki on hand – Greek yoghurt mixed with grated cucumber, minced garlic and chopped mint, with a sprinkling of paprika on top. I don't mean to blow my own horn, but this works better than perhaps it should. I have since seen other people on TikTok spooning tzatziki on eggs, and then pushing chickpeas into it. I cannot condone this. 8. BLT. You get the idea: bacon, lettuce, tomato, mayo. An enduring combination let down by the fact that the whole mouthful is still going to be 80% egg by weight – a flavour imbalance that simply cannot be corrected. It is possibly a little late in the game for me to confess that I don't really care for hard-boiled eggs, and I've already consumed more of them in an afternoon than I normally would in a year. 9. Caesar salad. Even if you love hard-boiled eggs – and I've made my position clear – you must eventually accept that the egg flight is a steeply descending staircase: the law of diminishing returns comes into effect once you've passed half a dozen variations. When you start making a caesar salad on top of an egg – lettuce, miniature croutons, dressing, parmesan shavings – you've taken things too far. It looks better in a photograph than it's ever going to taste. 10. Burger egg. Given my ambivalence toward the hard-boiled egg – which has long since curdled into full-blown hostility – the last variation I tried to make was always going to rank the lowest. This really was a disappointment, however: idiotically sized mini-burger, cheese square, tomato, ketchup. It's not a burger and it is not a fitting topping for an egg. Null points, and never again.
