Love Island Australia star Callum Hole reveals why he REALLY broke up with glamorous influencer Sasha Morpeth

Love Island Australia star Callum Hole reveals why he REALLY broke up with glamorous influencer Sasha Morpeth

Daily Mail​a day ago

Callum Hole has broken his silence on his shock breakup with influencer Sasha Morpeth - and revealed what really caused them to split.
The Love Island Australia star, 27, who went public with Sasha, 25, in December before the couple abruptly parted ways, opened up to his co-host Skye Wheatley on the first episode of their new Nova podcast Skye & Callum.
Callum took full responsibility and said his unwillingness to commit was to blame for their parting.
'I'm never 110% committed. We had a good time. We obviously spent a couple of months together, but then in the back of my head, I was like, I knew I had stuff coming up, so it was hard for me to fully commit,' Callum began.
'And then I started being less trustworthy, less loyal, and it was just kind of on a downward spiral. It ended up becoming so toxic. So we just kind of parted ways.'

Skye then asked if Sasha had any part in the break-up - and Callum admitted the blame lay solely with him.
'She was perfect in that sense, it was all on my end. I was traveling a lot for work, I was seeing my ex a couple of times she knew about it, it was just drama,' he said.
'When we broke up, I was like, "this is probably for the best." I was like, there was so many parts of the relationship that were missing that I didn't realise until I was actually out.
'So I guess I learned what I want in a partner and what I don't want, and how to move in future relationships.'
Callum and Sasha were first linked in November 2024 while attending a Schoolies Unleashed Grad Trip in Fiji, where he also filmed Love Island All Stars.
'This wasn't on my 2024 bingo card but couldn't be happier going into 2025 with you,' the duo captioned a series of loved-up snaps taken at the Beyond The Valley New Year's Eve music festival.
Sasha, who has over five million followers on TikTok and owns the clothing brand Sasha Therese, often posted videos of the couple on her page.
But all traces of the whirlwind relationship between the two social media stars simultaneously vanished from their accounts.
Both Callum and Sasha have deleted all of their couple videos and photos from their social media profiles.
Sasha later dropped multiple hints that the romance wasn't all smooth sailing.
'Jealousy hits different when you both aren't even in a relationship yet,' she captioned an outfit check posted to TikTok on December 27.
In a cheeky video Sasha posted just five days later, she indicated the love bubble had burst.
The petite blonde showed off her two-piece purple ensemble in her usual style of video, as she danced and strutted in front of her phone camera inside a messy hotel room.
Sitting on the left hand side of the hotel bed, with his back turned from Sasha, appeared to be Callum.
'Girl, if you can't change the person, change the person,' she wrote in text layered over the clip.
Callum appeared on Love Island All Stars alongside reality fan favourite Phoebe Spiller, after enjoying a short term fling with one of his Aussie Shore cast mates.
The Brisbane-based UK reality star brought his signature cheekiness to the Aussie Shore house in Cairns during episode eight of the controversial reality show.

Nepo baby influencer sobs as she pleads GUILTY to being three-and-a-half times drink-drive limit

NEPO baby influencer Gabriella Bardsley sobbed as she pleaded guilty to drink-driving today. The stunning brunette, 23, daughter of Real Housewives of Cheshire star Tanya Bardsley, admitted being three-and-a-half times the alcohol limit. 10 Gabriella, whose stepdad is ex-Manchester United footballer Phil Bardsley, was arrested on May 11 behind the wheel of her Audi A3. Crewe Magistrates' Court was told how she approached the scene of a road traffic collision in Wilmslow and 'attempted to drive through the police blockade'. Charlie Hayward, prosecuting, said when officers approached her she was visibly intoxicated and 'slurring her words' and 'struggling' to stand on her feet. She refused a road-side breath test and was taken to a nearby police station and was found to have 122 micrograms of alcohol per 100 millilitres of breath - the UK legal limit being only 35 micrograms. The influencer, who stood in the dock in a black jacket and white trousers, pleaded guilty when the charge of drink-driving was put to her. Her lawyer Gary Hughes told the court that she was of 'hitherto good character'. But they handed her an interim driving ban and she sobbed as she left court, comforted by her former Sunderland defender father. Gabriella could face an unlimited fine and/or disqualification from driving when she's sentenced on July 14. The influencer appears on ITVX series The Bardsley Bunch alongside her famous parents and younger brothers Rocco, Renz and Ralphi. Her stepdad Phil began his career at Man Utd before joining Sunderland in 2008. He also played for the Scottish national team before hanging up his boots for good in 2023. 10 10 10 10 10

The Spare Room review – Judy Davis is electric in thrilling adaptation of Helen Garner novel

There's real magic in the moment after the house lights go down and the stage lights go up before a play begins. There's a concert of rustled movement that slows and stops as we find our silence and attention and tune in together. In The Spare Room, Belvoir's new adaptation of Helen Garner's 2008 novel, that small ritual becomes electric. Helen – played by the indomitable Judy Davis – watches us prepare to watch her, waiting us out until we settle in. She finds the first perfect moment of silence, nods, says 'Right,' and the play begins. This keen noticing is key to Garner's writing, and the backbone of this stage adaptation. The novel, a slim and spare wonder of prose, charts the three weeks our protagonist Helen plays host to her friend Nicola, visiting Melbourne for an intensive 'alternative treatment' she believes will cure her cancer. At every step, Helen is there to witness, take notes, and try to make sense of this new, death-tinged world. As Nicola (Elizabeth Alexander, serene and softer-edged) clings to her faith in her increasingly dubious treatment and refuses to acknowledge her terminal diagnosis, Helen's ferocious love and deep-welled fury are our guides through this story of care, conflict, and the intimacy of dying. Close relationship studies are often at the heart of contemporary theatre, so it's no surprise that Garner's novel has found its way to the stage (and in more ways than one: last year, Monstrous Theatre held its second developmental workshop of an opera based on the book). Director and adapter Eamon Flack has built his career, in part, on adaptation, notably finding contemporary heartbeats in Ibsen and Chekhov. As Belvoir's artistic director, he has curated a run of theatrical seasons that dive deep into ideas of family, intimacy and belonging. The Spare Room is squarely in his sweet spot, and, with Davis as his co-conspirator, the production is a live wire: thrilling, swift, full of sparks. Sign up for the fun stuff with our rundown of must-reads, pop culture and tips for the weekend, every Saturday morning On stage, the play belongs to Davis, our direct-address narrator. She flicks a wrist, points a finger, and cellist Anthea Cottee, sitting onstage with her instrument poised and ready, begins to play. Steve Francis's score is a ticking clock, a rush of feeling and a call-and-response exchange with Davis who prowls, stalks and makes and re-makes Nicola's bed, fetching fresh sheets, water, lemonade, anything that might bring comfort. The best moments keep Garner's prose intact, little jewels of observation and ruthless honesty, and Flack carves the play out of Helen's emotional momentum: building frustration, swells of grief, and charged moments of conflict. While Nicola floats above her own experience, Helen stays grounded, on a stubborn quest to have Nicola realise that the pain and anger she refuses to acknowledge in herself have been deferred to – and are choking – Helen and anyone else in her orbit. Mel Page's set leaves plenty of room for Helen to roam and pace and think aloud. There is a reverent corner set aside for the spare room, where Nicola's bed is thoughtfully lit (by Paul Jackson, who also gentles Helen's sharper edges and suffuses the more combative scenes between Helen and Nicola with love). The set also serves as the centre of the world, transforming as needed. With the tug of a clinical curtain, Helen's home becomes the dubious Theodore Institute with its ozone tents and vitamin C infusions, a doctor's office, and a hospital. Sign up to Saved for Later Catch up on the fun stuff with Guardian Australia's culture and lifestyle rundown of pop culture, trends and tips after newsletter promotion While the play undoubtedly and captivatingly belongs to Davis, there is lovely work from the ensemble, most notably Emma Diaz as Nicola's niece Iris and others, a seamless fit in this quick-paced production. Hannah Waterman brings a grounded presence playing characters that are allies to Helen's rational side: a no-nonsense doctor and a sister. Alan Dukes plays a variety of health professionals, both charlatans and legitimate – but is most delightful as a stage magician who brings the joy of artistic curiosity to Helen and Nicola during a rare night out together. There are a few bumps, ones common to new work. Davis's Helen is electric, the revving engine that gives power to the piece and to Garner's prose, but Nicola occasionally feels more catalyst than character, and some scenes are not yet fully calibrated – on the night I attended (reviews were rescheduled due to cast illness), you could feel the growing pains of a production still discovering itself: stumbled lines, tentative pauses. Alexander feels on the verge of blossoming. But this play has a strong foundation and good bones and Davis's fully present performance. It will sharpen as the season runs, and it is already lovely; it so frankly shares the character's darkest and lightest thoughts that it makes you feel less alone in yours. The Spare Room is at Belvoir St Theatre, Sydney, until 13 July

The Mint unveils 12 collectable coins featuring the famous rubber duck and choo choo train from Women's Weekly Children's Birthday Cake Book. Here's the full list

The Royal Australian Mint has released collectable coins to honour one of the country's most cherished cookbooks - a move sure to delight nostalgic Australian families and collectors alike. Marking its milestone 45th anniversary this year, The Australian Women's Weekly Children's Birthday Cake Book, first released in 1980, remains a beloved classic. A mainstay in Australian households for generations, the book has inspired thousands of homemade birthday celebrations with its bold, quirky - and often delightfully chaotic - cake designs. From the infamous swimming pool cake (gelatin jelly and all) to the beloved duck with potato crisp lips, the book's whimsical - and sometimes challenging - creations have become a rite of passage for Aussie parents. And now, nostalgic shoppers can own a piece of that history with the new coin collection. 'This coin collection is a tribute that spans generations,' Royal Australian Mint acting Chief Executive Officer Emily Martin said. 'Whether you're a child of the '80s or beyond, or a collector, you'll really get the sense of fun this coin collection brings to mind.' The collectible coins spotlight some of the book's most iconic designs on official Australian legal tender $1 coins, including Dolly Varden, Rubber Ducky, Humpty Dumpty and the Pool Cake. The uncirculated $1 coins cost $15 each, with 81,500 coins minted for each design overall. There's also a $2 coloured hickory dickory watch coin - but it's part of the 12-coin premium recipe box collection, which retails for $175. The Women's Weekly Children's Birthday Cake Book coins to collect In a new partnership with newsXpress and the Royal Australian Mint, the coins - designed by the Mint's Lydia Ashe - will pay tribute to the quirky details of the original cakes, such as popcorn hairstyles, chocolate finger echidna quills, round biscuit wheels and sprinkles galore. The series features 11 $1 coins and a $2 coloured coin, available in four different packaged formats. This will include a coin in-card, 10-coin tube and folder, proof coin in the cake book, 12-coin recipe card collection and till coin. The coins are available now, exclusively at participating newsXpress stores nationwide and on their website, with limited quantities also released through the Mint website. 'We're excited to be part of this celebration. We are thrilled to celebrate this iconic book that is dear to the hearts of so many Australians,' newsXpress Managing Director Mark Fletcher said. The book continues to sell strongly, with older editions available through most major bookstores and online for just $10. The Australian Women's Weekly Editor Sophie Tedmanson said the Children's Birthday Cake Book is a highlight of the brand's 92-year history. 'We are honoured to collaborate with the Royal Australian Mint on a collection that pays tribute to the playful, heartfelt spirit that has defined The Weekly for more than 90 years,' she said. 'It's a beautiful reminder of our legacy and the role we continue to play in the lives of Australian families.' To ensure buyers don't fall victim to fakes or scams, the Royal Australian Mint is urging customers to only purchase the new coin collection through the trusted and official retailers or by contacting their official customer service line. As for why the original Children's Birthday Cake Book has stood the test of time, one of its original authors, Pamela Clark, once told the ABC she thinks it's because the cakes were so delightfully imperfect. 'They look rough and ready, they were rough and ready, and they're not scary at all, and I think most people, even if they've never made a cake before, will give those cakes a go,' she said. 'Kids don't care about the details of the cake, how messy it might look … They realise that this cake has been made with love for them.' At the official coin launch event held on Thursday, the Australian Women's Weekly food director Fran Abdallaoui shared that a heartwarming reunion recently took place with some of the original creators behind the book. 'Seeing them all back in the test kitchen together again was so heartwarming,' she said. The coin collaboration is a loving tribute to its cultural significance, not just as a recipe book, but as a shared generational experience. From millennial parents recreating cakes they had as kids to collectors eager to own a slice of Australiana, the coins are a heartfelt nod to 45 years of success for the book.
