Billy Brownless horrifies his family and friends with shock nude pool selfie as he holidays with his glamorous partner Crystle Fleur
Billy Brownless has shocked his family, friends and followers after sharing a very risqué selfie. The AFL legend, 58, is currently enjoying a one-year anniversary trip with partner Crystle Fleur, 52, at Cable Beach Club Resort and Spa in Western Australia. The broadcaster has been busy documenting the trip on Instagram, however his latest post was possibly more suited to OnlyFans. Billy shared a photo of himself completely nude in the the pool. Captioning the shock post, Billy was not afraid to poke more than a little fun at himself. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. 'Some call it "Skinny Dipping". I like to call it "Fat Dipping",' he wrote. Billy's nude selfie horrified his daughter Ruby, who commented: 'wow, it gets worse.' AFL WAG Bec Judd, who was holidaying at the same location, also chimed in on Billy's eye-popping display. 'Hahahaha. Nice seeing you yesterday. Glad you had some clothes on,' she joked. Lisa Brayshaw, the wife of media personality James Brayshaw, replied to Bec's comment with: 'I just said to James… oh no, I think Bec is there on holidays. I hope she's left by now because you can't unsee this if it's in your resort pool.' Former AFL star Dale Thomas also jumped in, suggesting Billy was attempting to recreate a very famous album cover. 'Reverse angle is a Nirvana album cover,' he joked, referring to the grunge band's breakthrough album Nevermind. The ribbing didn't end there, either, with one fan suggesting Billy's display may make it difficult for him to travel. 'You'll never get back in the plane with that much Crack in your possession Billy,' they joked. The subtle sledge certainly tickled Billy's partner Crystle, who replied with two crying laughing emojis. Another pleaded with Billy's partner: 'Good lord @crystle15 stop him,' however Crystle admitted she was powerless to curtail Billy's nude shenanigans. 'He's out of control,' was her reply. 'I'm running.' It comes as trolls took aim at Billy as he marked his one-year anniversary with his glamorous partner. Crystle took to Instagram earlier this month to celebrate their milestone anniversary with a sweet picture of the couple, which has received nearly 7,000 likes. However, many trolls poured into the comments section of the post to share their thoughts on the pairing, with some saying Billy is 'punching above his weight' with the mum-of-three, and that she's out of his league. 'Good to see you happy Bill, but still punching way above,' one person wrote. Another chimed in: 'Punching above your weight there, big man...' The romance between Billy and Crystle first became public knowledge in October last year. Since then, he and Crystle have been inseparable, seen enjoying outings across Melbourne. In February, the pair were spotted strolling hand-in-hand through South Yarra after a casual café date. A mother-of-three, Crystle's low-key style and successful career have captured Brownless' heart. Billy's private life hit the headlines in 2016 when his friendship with Garry Lyon was rocked by scandal. The former best mates fell out after it emerged Lyon was in a relationship with his ex-wife, Nicky. The public split caused deep hurt for Billy, who spoke openly about his disappointment. However, in recent years, the pair have moved towards reconciliation. The families spent Christmas together and, in January, Billy and Garry appeared on air together for the first time in years. In a further sign of healing, Lyon attended the wedding of Billy's daughter, Ruby, in Noosa in March.

The Saints cemented their lead in the third quarter, adding three goals while the Tigers struggled to break through the Saints' defences, scoring just three behinds and facing a big task to peg back the 26-point deficit.

Cable Beach vehicle access restricted, as foreshore revamp frustrates Broome locals
The ongoing redevelopment of one of Western Australia's most famous beaches is frustrating locals, who have lost four-wheel drive access to a popular stretch of the sand. Stage one of works at Cable Beach, 2,100km north of Perth, was recently completed and the Shire of Broome's main redevelopment is now getting underway. The 22-kilometre-long beach is one of Broome's premier tourist attractions and is famous for its four-wheel drive access. Crowds sprawl across the sand in deck chairs and cars every night to watch the sun set, but stage two of the redevelopment has seen vehicle access to the northern stretch of the beach cut and its main car parks closed. The disruption has left residents frustrated and nearby businesses scrambling to relocate. Once complete, the redevelopment will feature improved public spaces coupled with better beach access and protection for the coast. Stage one of the development targeted the precinct's southern end, where Premier Roger Cook unveiled a new basketball court and skate park last week. Stage two, targeting the remaining areas, includes a community plaza, water park and amphitheatre. But Broome residents face a challenging trade-off, as the works are not expected to be complete until mid-to-late 2026. For years, food trucks have set up shop in an area near the beach each now impacted by the development. The space has been designated as overflow parking, while access to the main car park is closed. Food van owners Petris Torres and Somjit Onvimon said trying to find somewhere else to trade had been tough. "It's attacking my business so bad," Ms Onvimon said. "We tried to ask them (the shire) about which spot, 'Can we go here and can we go there?' They keep saying no and no. Many vans have resorted to trading from the Broome Turf Club car park at Gantheaume Point to the south, but there is less foot traffic and many customers have said it is too far. "We did less than half of our normal earnings … and it's not like less than half is still good," Mr Torres said. "It's very easy to identify the problems — where the energy needs to go is finding the solutions." The sentiment has been echoed by other vendors, who are pleased about the development but believe it could have been managed better. A community petition calling for a temporary access ramp to the northern stretch of the beach is circulating online and has garnered more than 1,000 signatures. Dan Healy, who signed the petition, said he was "very excited" about the development but not being able to drive onto the beach had impacted his family's lifestyle. "I think it will be great once it's finished," he said. "But I haven't really seen any justification as to why [vehicle access] was removed. "It's part of the reason we live in Broome — for freedom of access to the amazing environment and all the beautiful beaches." Vehicles are still permitted to access a stretch of sand on Gantheaume Beach further south, but this smaller space is already becoming overrun. The Shire of Broome has extended vehicle access at Gantheaume Beach by an additional 500 metres, however some beach goers are frustrated by how busy it has become. Shire of Broome deputy president Desiree Male said it was a no pain, no gain situation, and asked locals and tourists to be patient. "There's always going to be disruptions when you have major infrastructure projects like these," she said. "As a local born and bred here, I would access that beach with my dogs, so I'm going to miss it.
