Skye Wheatley reveals tensions in her relationship with partner Lachie amid lengthy home renovations
The influencer, 31, discussed the situation on the latest episode of her Nova podcast Skye & Callum, in which she admitted she and Lachlan had been constantly arguing.
'He is so annoying... he harassed, harassed, harassed for the furniture to be delivered,' Skye began.
She added it was not a good time for the planned delivery as the property was not set up for it.
'There's no f***ing roof! Like what do you want to do with this furniture? It's just sitting there in boxes. There's dust and s**t everywhere,' she vented.
'I'm not getting that f***ing furniture out of the box.'
She then said the process was also hurting their financial well-being.
'We've had to take out a second loan… the first loan was $800K, the second loan was $400K, and we're not even gonna be completely finished,' she said.
'We need to clean! That's a whole other job in itself. The tradies don't get paid to go in and clean up after themselves.'
Skye has long been open about the difficulties of her home renovation project, and in July last year, she shocked her fans by getting into a screaming match with her partner Lachlan during a work day.
The podcaster shared a shocking video on Instagram showing Lachlan giving Skye a tour of the renovation work at their new home.
The footage began with Lachlan showcasing the work, pointing out which rooms would feature skylights to let in the beaming sun.
'I've just ordered the windows and designed the room myself!' a proud Lachlan told Skye, who initially agreed his plans were 'stunning'.
However, Skye soon became upset with some of Lachlan's plans and questioned why he'd included skylights in some rooms but not others.
'A skylight is pointless in this room because of the beautiful window. We could have used that skylight in the [walk-in wardrobe],' a frustrated Skye began.
'Oh my God, why wouldn't you think of that? There's skylights where they don't need to be and none where they do need to be!'
However, Lachlan was having none of it and became frustrated as he told his partner he chose the ideal locations for the skylights - and insisted none was needed in the wardrobe.
'It's a f***ing room, how many rooms do you go in that are dark? It's fine, what are you actually worried about, that you won't be able to take a photo in there?' a furious Lachlan asked.
Skye rose to fame back on Big Brother Australia in 2014 and is now a full-time influencer with 645,000 followers.
In 2023, Wheatley put her $75,000 Mercedes on the market to help finance the renovation work on her luxurious Gold Coast mansion.
The former Big Brother star-turned-influencer shared a photo of her white Mercedes on Instagram, inviting interested buyers to message her.

Princess Ingrid Alexandra of Norway steps out in chic ensemble at Sydney Aquarium as she takes serious-looking phone call during study break
Princess Ingrid Alexandra of Norway looked serious on Wednesday as she was spotted taking a phone call during a trip to Sydney Aquarium. She could be seen leaving the venue garbed in a very chic but casual ensemble while taking a break from her studies at the University of Sydney. The future Queen of Norway, 21, who is pursuing her Bachelor of Arts degree, opted for loose-fit blue jeans, a black top and deep red over-shirt for her outing. Fitting the part of an Aussie uni student, Ingrid—the daughter of Crown Prince Haakon and Crown Princess Mette-Marit—paired her look with white sneakers. With a large black bag slung across her body, Ingrid appeared to be frowning as she left the aquarium to take a phone call. She kept accessories to a minimum, choosing simple gold earrings and a matching bangle as she wore her brunette hair loose. She could be seen leaving the venue garbed in a very chic but casual ensemble while taking a break from her studies at the University of Sydney It comes just days after Ingrid traded the lecture theatre for a boat party on Sydney Harbour earlier this week, enjoying some fun in the sun with her friends. The party appeared to be Christmas-themed, with many revellers decked out in Santa Claus costumes. Ingrid looked delighted to be taking a break from her studies, beaming as she arrived at the weekday party with friends— the details of which can be found here. The chic royal, who is second in line to the throne after her father, Crown Prince Haakon of Norway, arrived Down Under late last month. She posed on campus for a series of photos she uploaded to Instagram. The Royal Household's full statement from Ingrid read: 'I'm looking forward to starting my studies at the University of Sydney. 'It will be exciting to become a student, and I'm looking forward to gaining new perspectives on both European and international politics. 'I'm sure that I will learn a lot.' With a large black bag slung across her body, Ingrid appeared to be frowning as she left the aquarium to take a phone call She marked the joyous occasion with a series of images taken around what appeared to be the University of Sydney campus. One picture showed the royal standing in front of the establishment's tall brown brick building, while another showed her seated in front of the reception steps. She also held a collection of white folders and envelopes, perhaps documentation linked to her studies. Her decision to move to Australia to continue her studies comes after she embarked on military training at the Engineer Battalion in Brigade Nord last year.

Aussie TV star sparks dating rumours with Vikings actor - as they are spotted together at several A-list events
TV presenter Bella Varelis and Australian actor Sam Corlett have sparked dating rumours, as the pair have been spotted together several times in recent weeks. The 7Bravo presenter, 30, and Vikings franchise star, 29, have allegedly been seen arriving at A-list events together, but are apparently keeping their relationship quiet. They walked the red carpet at the Logie Awards in Sydney on Sunday, and got cosy at the Ksubi by Lissy Roddy launch on Wednesday, reported The Daily Telegraph. 'There's been a couple of times now they have arrived at an event together and left together,' claimed a source. 'But once there, they did their best to not be spotted together. Sam in particular is notoriously private.' Daily Mail has reached out to Bella and Sam for comment. Bella rose to fame on season eight of The Bachelor in 2020 with Locky Gilbert, and lost to her rival Irena Srbinovska. Last year, she replaced Nicole Kidman's niece Lucia Hawley as a 7Bravo Live From E! presenter. The TV star has undergone a makeover since her days as a runner-up on The Bachelor. Bella, who was last known to be dating photographer Will Stokoe until they split three years ago, underwent a nose job and eyelid lift surgery in one eye in 2022. At the time, the star admitted she had been 'lying' to her fans for ten days and using old photos on social media to conceal her surgery. Meanwhile, Sam is one of Australia's most promising new acting talents, and appeared on Netflix's Chilling Adventures of Sabrina opposite Miranda Otto in 2020. He also portrayed Leif Erikson in Vikings: Valhalla and Marshall Lawson in Territory. It comes after Bella revealed a sneak peek at what she eats in a day to maintain her fit figure. Earlier this year, she took to her Instagram Stories with a picture showcasing her 'day on a plate'. The Australian model told fans she tries to keep her meals 'balanced', but will often eat out for dinner and snack on fruit. In the image she shared, Bella plated up four meals she incorporates into her day-to-day diet. One plate contained four figs cut in half, while another featured grilled fish with sliced cucumber. Bella appeared to be fond of cucumber, as she included the vegetable in another meal alongside quinoa and yoghurt. Her final meal of the day was a plate of lamb-chops with some fresh green salad.

Chris Hemsworth describes 'gear shift' after learning he's 10 times more likely to get Alzheimer's
Chris Hemsworth has told Sky News that finding out he had a greater chance of developing Alzheimer's disease was a "gear shift" in his life motivations. During a genetic test in season one of Limitless: Live Better Now, the Australian actor discovered that he is, biologically, eight to 10 times more likely than others to have the brain disorder during his lifetime as he carries two copies of the APOE4 gene. He had first taken part in the National Geographic show to be its "guinea pig" and face new experiences that challenge the body and mind. But after having the test, the 41-year-old Thor, Furiosa and Transformers star was faced with an unexpected truth. One in every 50 people inherit two copies of the APOE4 gene and research has found that nearly all double carriers showed key early signs of the disease which causes dementia by the age of 55. Everyone's risk is different, and evidence suggests there are things you can do to reduce your risk whether you're a carrier of the gene or not, including not smoking, reducing alcohol intake, daily exercise, monitoring cholesterol and blood pressure and eating a balanced diet. Speaking of when he found out he was a double carrier, Hemsworth told Sky News: "It was just kind of this point in my life where up until your 40s, you're kind of gathering data and information and it's all reactionary and then you get to a point where you think, oh some of this sort of identity that I've sort of built doesn't hold true anymore. "There's some inner sort of protest or inner voice that has a deeper need to understand and there's deeper questions and what is the purpose and the why behind what I'm doing ... and what am I seeking, what am I contributing, as opposed to just what I am collecting." Reacting on screen, he said it made him shift his focus to living better and increase the chances of him spending as much time as possible with his family and friends. What's changed in the second series? The change in mindset is evident in season two. "This time around, I was very involved in the orchestration and the sort of production and bringing together spaces that I was interested in or there was a deep curiosity or were deeply personal to me. And it was more sort of experiential journalism as opposed to a contestant in a challenging kind of fun, reality show. He adds: "I was much more committed or invested in the experience. "And I was a bit more educated on the topics too. I had to research, I had a deeper point of view, I suppose, personally, but also sort of the education I was given prior and I enjoyed that more, to be honest, I didn't like that I felt very uncomfortable in the first season because I was standing around all these experts and I knew nothing about these topics, yet I was kind of asked to speak on them and so I felt like an imposter the entire time." Limitless: Live Better Now looks at the ways in which you can improve your brain and body's health through endurance challenges and learning a new instrument. Teaming up with Sheeran Hemsworth chose the drums and, taking it to the extreme, was set the task of joining his friend Ed Sheeran on stage to play Thinking Out Loud. "That fear and that anxiety was incredibly overwhelming," Hemsworth says, detailing how he felt "underwater" in the weeks leading up to the event. "It's weird the way intense situations actually cause a hyper focus; it's a survival mechanism of the brain. "Some of the other challenges where if I did the training it was beneficial, but I could kind of muscle my way through it. You can't do that with a musical instrument and then the realisation that the entire band is relying on you to keep time. And then 70,000 people are sitting there going, 'please don't wreck our favourite song'." Reflecting on the moment, he says it's one of the most magical feelings he's ever had. "The joy was unlike anything I've ever experienced. You know, if you could bottle that and have it in a healthy way and not have all the negatives that someone may have for it, it was amazing. It was a true kind of one of my first probably proper out of body experiences, I suppose. "It was like, I kind of remember being in the out, looking down at myself almost, kind of going, wow, I'm kind of floating along with this thing that's so much bigger than me and I'm in true sort of flow state with it."
