Brittany Hockley stole the spotlight as she attended a friend's wedding in a daring red dress over the weekend. The Aussie radio host took to Instagram on Sunday to share several happy snaps from singer Steffani Milan and footballer Moritz Jenz's nuptials, which were held in Tuscany, Italy. The 37-year-old almost risked a major wardrobe malfunction in a figure-hugging scarlet dress featuring a very risque split at the thigh. The frock, which boasted a high neckline and long sleeves, was slashed all the way to the crotch, showing off the former Bachelor star's long, trim pins. She wore her hair in a slicked back bun and donned dainty gold and diamond jewellery, letting her eye-catching dress take centre stage.

Sources close to the pair reveal that several of Brittany's fellow I'm A Celebrity 2024 'campmates' including Skye Wheatley, Callum Hole, and Denise Drysdale did not make the cut.

Adding to the intrigue, Brittany recently shared a lighthearted anecdote about her wedding invitations causing confusion among guests due to Aussie slang. On her Life Uncut podcast, she recounted how the phrase 'no thongs' led to some hilarious misunderstandings among international invitees.

Former Dundee United ace makes Serie A debut – and helps blow title race wide open
Former Dundee United favourite Benjamin Siegrist made his long-awaited Serie A debut on Sunday evening – and helped to blow the title race wide open. Siegrist, 33, joined Genoa from Rapid Bucharest in January but has served as understudy to Nicola Leali between the sticks. However, boss Patrick Vieira gave Siegrist the nod against table-topping Napoli and he turned in a solid showing during a breathless 2-2 draw at the Diego Armando Maradona Stadium. Scotland international Scott McTominay teed up both of Napoli's goals – scored by Romelu Lukaku and Giacomo Raspadori – but Genoa hit back twice through an Alex Meret own goal and Johan Vasquez. The result means Champions League finalists Inter Milan are just ONE point behind the Neapolitans going into the last two games of the season. Siegrist made 145 appearances for the Tangerines following his arrival in the summer of 2018, playing in key part in the club returning to the Premiership and consolidating in the top-flight. That earned him a switch to Celtic in 2022, but he never came close to cementing a starting berth and played just two games in two years – League Cup wins over Motherwell and Ross County. The ex-Aston Villa kid joined Rapid Bucharest, managed at the time by current Dunfermline boss Neil Lennon, last summer but lasted just six months before making the switch to Italy.
