The 37-year-old almost risked a major wardrobe malfunction in a figure-hugging scarlet dress featuring a very risque split at the thigh.

Brittany Hockley dons racy two piece at her glamorous hens party aboard a yacht on Sydney Harbour ahead of Bali wedding to fiancé Ben Siegrist
Brittany Hockley is about to be a married woman. The radio host celebrated her upcoming nuptials with fiancé Ben Siegrist on Saturday with a very luxurious hens party. The 37-year-old dared to bare for the shindig, which was held aboard a yacht on Sydney Harbour. In photos shared to Instagram, Brittany looked stunning in a pearl mini skirt with a matching one-shoulder crop top. Brittany added a gold necklace that read 'Mrs' and went barefoot as she got well into the festivities. She brandished a glass of bubbly as she posed on the bough of the boat, with a gaggle of girlfriends joining the fun. 'I'M GETTING MARRIED! Deep in hens see you tomorrow' she wrote in her caption alongside the images. Brittany and her Swiss partner Ben are due to tie the knot in Bali in between June 2 and 5 with 200 guests expected. The pair will exchange vows at the Pandawa Cliff Estate in Bali which costs a whopping $6400 per night for a six person villa and includes staff and security. She will have a dress designed by A-list wedding dress designer Steven Khalil. Speaking to Daily Mail Australia at the ACRA awards in October, the radio presenter said she has set a date and is currently in the process of planning their big day. 'I'm getting married next year. I'm not telling too many secrets yet. Mitch [Churi] is of course going to be there,' Brittany began as she led the red carpet arrivals with her former KIIS FM Pickup co-host. 'Mitch actually has a starring role in the wedding.' 'Am I ring bearer?' Mitch asked her. 'Actually I'd be so pi***d off if I was just ring bearer,' he joked when asked if he'd be up for MC'ing. 'I'M GETTING MARRIED! Deep in hens see you tomorrow' she wrote in her caption alongside the images 'What do you wanna be? Husband!' Brittany responded. Brittany added she hadn't got as far as choosing which of her famous friends would be giving speeches at her l avish destination wedding in Bali. 'Probably honestly just my dad and my sister [will give speeches],' she said. However, the blushing bride did admit she's currently in the process of learning to speak German so she could surprise her European fiancé on their special day. 'Ben's family are going to be doing speeches in German. It's a very multicultural wedding.' The brunette beauty added that Ben's European family had experienced a hilarious misunderstanding due to her strict Aussie dress code rule. 'There was no thongs footwear invite confusion! I was mortified to think that half of his family thought I meant G-strings.' Most Aussies call flip-flops thongs, which are not often worn at weddings. The long-distance couple, who recently celebrated their two-year relationship anniversary, use WhatsApp to text while the 33-year-old soccer goalkeeper lives internationally, and Brittany resides in her native Australia. They often do not see each other in-person for several months due to living on different continents. The pair met in November 2022 on the celebrity dating app Raya and at the time, the goalkeeper's soccer team, the Glasgow-based Celtic FC, was playing in Australia against Sydney FC. They often split their time between Australia and Scotland, where Benjamin currently lives, but Ben has plans to relocate to Australia after they are wed. In December, Brittany whipped her fans into a frenzy after they noticed a telling detail in a photo, which hints she may have secretly married. The KIIS FM presenter shared a gallery of sweet photos to Instagram which captured her putting on a loved-up display with her Swiss footballer partner. Brittany and her hunky partner were all smiles in the pictures as they celebrated the holiday season together and spent quality time with her baby niece. Eagle-eyed fans were quick to notice that Brittany was wearing a gold ring around her ring finger and speculated she and Ben may already be married. 'i'm sorry but i can't help but notice the two rings on your engagement finger?! Melting,' one follower wrote. 'Me tooooo,' a second person added and a third chipped in: 'Also here for this.'

‘Get help': Star's chilling warning amid drug spike
A popular Aussie radio star has revealed how she's been a victim of drink spiking three times — as police issue a warning about increased use of a drug used to facilitate the horror act. Former Bachelor contestant Brittany Hockley revealed on her KIIS radio show The Pick Up that she has been drugged against her will on three separate occasions. 'It is not just some stranger in the bar when you're out that you have to be aware of. It's not just making sure your hand is over your drink,' she said. 'It's being hyper aware of the increase that this is happening and also what to look out for.' Radio co-host Laura Byrne then revealed of the four women who work in the team, three of them have also been a victim of this crime. 'Three of us have experienced an incident where someone has used or tried to use one of these date rape drugs against us,' the mum-of-two said. Hockley then went on to explain what it feels like and 'what to watch out for', saying that in her experience, she felt 'drunk very quickly' but 'it's not a normal drunk'. 'For me, the first sign was when I would move my head to the side — just to look — everything was taking too long to catch up, and it started to get blurry,' she said. The 37-year-old said at this point there isn't a lot of time to realise other signs and symptoms as it happens so quickly. 'You just start to feel really, really unwell and really intoxicated. It happens so quickly, it is scary,' she said. 'It goes from zero to 100 in sometimes potentially minutes. You need to tell someone immediately what is happening to you or what you think is happening to you, and get help.' Many praised Hockley for being so candid about what had happened to her. 'Thank you so much for sharing this girls. It makes us feel less alone,' one said. Another added: 'I'm glad you are telling others what it feels like because many may think it's just drunk feeling, but it's way worse and it's hard to speak or stand etc.' Another advised: 'Please make a point of taking your friend straight to a hospital or call an ambulance. Don't assume they have used a date rate drug, fentanyl is coming into the country too. You also don't know how people will react to a drug. Hospital every time.' Someone else weighed in with their own terrifying experience, posting: 'Also – I lost the ability to form sentences after 20(ish) minutes. So YES to the advice of telling someone what you think is happening ASAP! Can't stress enough. 'I told a man at central station (Sydney) that I had fled my work party as I suspected a colleague had spiked me & this man took me all the way home (Cronulla) and got me to the safety my housemates. I wish I could thank him today.' Hockley's message to fans comes just days after the Australian Federal Police issued a warning about a spike in 'fantasy' or 'bute' hitting our shores, which is typically found in industrial strength cleaning products. However, its secondary use has caused concerns for police as, when ingested, it converts to Gamma-hydroxybutyrate — also known as GHB. The drug can create feelings of drowsiness, confusion, blackouts and memory loss, seizures, unconsciousness or even death. It's often used to facilitate sexual assault and rape. More than 3.8 tonnes of 1,4-Butanediol (1,4-BD) has been seized in 2025 alone, and in the 12 months prior to March 1, 2025, it was confiscated more than any other drug. The majority of it was seized in New South Wales. Paula Hudson, the AFP's Acting Assistant Commissioner, said the impact of the drug was catastrophic. 'Although 1,4-Butanediol has a legitimate industrial use, factors such as the significant volumes and concealment methods used in its illegal importation suggest it is targeted for a more nefarious use,' she said. '1,4-BD is dangerous on many levels. Unlike other illicit drugs, it can be used as an instrument of crime, rather than being generally taken only for personal use. 'The significant amount of 1,4-BD being illegally imported into Australia has prompted the AFP and Australian Border Force (ABF) to reinforce a zero-tolerance rule towards criminal networks attempting to import this illicit substance into the country. 'It's a fight on multiple fronts for police, emergency and health services, all working together to combat the importation, distribution and consumption of this harmful illicit substance.' She stressed there was no safe use of the drug.
