Carrie Bickmore sparks new romance with former TV star
Carrie Bickmore has long sparked rumours she's quietly dating radio co-host Tommy Little, but recent whispers suggest the 44-year-old has begun a rosy new romance with former The Bachelorette star Lee Elliot. Previously married to Georgia Love, whom he met on the show in 2016, Elliot and his ex announced their split in February this year. According to Women's Day, Bickmore and Elliot connected via mutual friends and have been enjoying each other's company at The Project alum's home in recent weeks. 'They've been trying so hard to keep things under wraps,' an insider told the publication. 'But there's definitely something romantic going on. They make a beautiful couple!' The source said feelings between the pair are 'heating up quickly'. Love and Elliot are believed to have ended on amicable terms, with the pair continuing to leave a trail of their past together on social media. Lee Elliott and Georgia Love split earlier this year.

News of Bickmore and Elliott's burgeoning romance has supposedly been a bitter pill for the former Bachelorette to swallow. A source close to Love told the outlet the relationship development 'stings', especially due to Bickmore's profile and popularity. 'Seeing Lee move on so publicly and with someone as beloved as Carrie has brought up some complicated emotions,' the insider said. Carrie Bickmore and Tommy Little co-host a radio show.

Her supposed new flame is said to have been ticked off by Bec and Box, labelling Elliott as a 'seriously hot catch!' according to the outlet. Bickmore shares children Evie and Adelaide with ex-husband Chris Walker, and son Oliver with her late husband Greg Lange.

Who is the best Aussie radio star of the 21st century?
Australia, I have a big ask. I want you to tell me who you think is the best FM radio host from the last 25 years. Personally, I think there are five who could claim the title, including one who deserves way more hype (more on that soon). Our 25@25 series will finally put to bed the debates you've been having at the pub and around dinner tables for years – and some that are just too much fun not to include. It wasn't easy, and there are many talented stars who have been left out (apologies to Fitzy, Wippa, Andy Lee, Kate Langbroek, Merrick, Rosso and Matt Tilley to name just a few). I invited Mitch Churi, considered by many to be one of this country's most promising radio talents, to run through the shortlist with me. Here they are in no particular order. Hamish Blake He's arguably the funniest radio star Australia has ever known, and many have since tried to imitate what he does. 'So much commercial radio that's made today is based on Hamish and Andy, and more so Hamish Blake,' Churi said. 'He's so funny and charming.' Hamish and Andy dominated national FM radio from 2006 to 2017, creating some truly magical on-air moments that will be remembered for years to come. Carrie Bickmore Carrie had a small role on radio as a newsreader before she made it big on TV thanks to Rove and The Project. But she's arguably done some of her best work alongside Tommy Little on The Carrie and Tommy Show which has been on the Hit Network since 2017. ' She's made that jump from TV to radio which I don't think works every time,' Churi said. 'I find TV talent often struggle on radio (but) Carrie bucked the trend. She's so organic, she's so natural, she's real.' Kyle Sandilands The KIIS FM host is easily Australia's most talked about radio star. He's had many controversies over the years, but there's no denying he's one of the greatest to ever sit behind a microphone. 'He gets the craft unlike anyone else,' Churi said about Sandilands. 'He's brilliant. 'He actually taught me everything I know in radio. My first paid radio job was at KIIS FM and I was 'Mitch, the coffee bitch', a name coined by Kyle. ' I was 19 and I would make him eight lattes … a day.' Dave Hughes Hughesy started hosting a Nova show back in 2001, and enjoyed a pretty consistent radio career all the way through to late 2024 when his 2Day FM breakfast show was axed. 'He's similar to Kyle in that he doesn't hold back, he says what he wants,' Churi said about the comedian. 'There's no one like Hughesy on radio … It's that voice as well, it's so annoying but it's brilliant!' Fifi Box Fifi is adored in Melbourne where she has hosted the Fox FM breakfast show for more than 10 years. ' Fifi allows the audience to feel like we're a friend, and that's very hard to do,' Churi said. ' I remember listening to Fifi and Jules when I was in high school,' he added. 'When she went on maternity leave and had her baby, I was invested. 'I was like, 'is Fifi in labour? Has Fifi given birth?' 'It was my royal baby!' he joked. Jackie O Over the years, some have suggested that Jackie O has ridden on the coat-tails of her controversial co-host, Kyle Sandilands. It's an unfair suggestion, because Jackie is one of the most talented broadcasters Australia has ever known. 'She's the brains behind that machine,' Churi said about The Kyle and Jackie O Show. 'Jackie's smart. 'She knows the image, she knows the brand so well, and the key to their success, I think, is a genuine friendship.' Mick Molloy The popular Aussie comedian has enjoyed a long relationship with Triple M, and currently hosts the station's breakfast show in Melbourne. 'He's very smart and knows that audience like no one else,' Churi said about Molloy. 'Of all the commercial stations in Australia, the Triple M audience is very peculiar … They know exactly what they want and he (Molloy) gives it to them every time. He's a genius!' Tim Blackwell This is the radio star who in my opinion is criminally underrated. Blackwell has co-hosted the Nova drive show since 2011, and a large part of its ratings success over the years is down to him. Not only does he co-host, but he also panels the show (controls the mics, faders etc) and drives a lot of the show's content. 'The work that man does is more than any broadcaster in this country, hands down,' Churi said. 'I filled in for Tim when he was off sick a few months ago. I was panelling and I was hosting and I almost had a stroke! 'He commands that show, and I completely agree, he's slept on (underrated).' Amanda Keller I challenge you to find me one person who doesn't like Amanda Keller. Currently hosting the Gold FM breakfast show in Sydney, Keller has been one of Australia's most loved entertainers for decades. 'She's a very special talent,' Churi said about Keller. 'Amanda Keller is an intelligent woman. It's that intelligence and wit that we all wish we had, and it's also an ability to be really earnest and really honest with her audience. ' Having a breakfast radio show requires you to just lay everything bare on the table, and she is 100 per cent herself. 'She's not afraid to get on there and cry … and then the next break … she's making you laugh your ass off.' Marty Sheargold The comedian parted ways with Triple M under a cloud of controversy earlier this year, but that shouldn't erase the incredible career he had before it. Sheargold was hilarious on the legendary Nova show, Kate, Tim and Marty, and enjoyed a loyal audience when he moved to Triple M to host The Marty Sheargold Show. Mitch Churi's top three When asked to pick his three favourites from the shortlist of 10, Churi named Amanda Keller, Tim Blackwell and Jackie O. What do you think? Have your say in the poll above.

Melbourne stars Carrie Bickmore, Bec Judd and Fifi Box come together to party it up with Ben Cousins on a lavish boat in Broome
Worlds collided this week when Melbourne stars Carrie Bickmore, Bec Judd, Fifi Box and Ben Cousins all came together to party on a boat off the coast of Broome, WA. The radio stars mixed with sports notables as they danced the evening away during an exclusive gathering where the drinks flowed and kids splashed in the water. In footage and photos shared to Instagram on Thursday, the media personalities could be seen jumping around to music and cuddling up for group pictures. Carrie, 44, was all smiles as she posed at the back of the group in a summery, floral dress, while radio bestie Fifi, 48, put on a busty display in a white dress. The low-cut frock was slipped on over a red bathing suit, with Fifi hiding her eyes behind some black sunglasses and protecting her face from the sun with a hat. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the Daily Mail's new showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. Bec's husband Chris Judd was also in attendance, as the former AFL star, 42, could be seen wearing a white polo shirt and shorts with a black, wide-brimmed hat. At one point, he was spotted dancing with his wife Bec, 42, who flaunted her figure in a $575 blue gown from Muma World which featured a shell print. Bec posted other photos which showed the group of friends and some of their children diving into the water using a pool device on the back of the boat. She also uploaded selfies from Cable Beach where she soaked up some sun with her best friend Jessie Roberts. 'Lol we got there and back in the end guys,' she captioned the gallery alongside a laughing-crying emoji. Meanwhile, former AFL player Ben, 47, was garbed in a black singlet and shorts as he cuddled up with fellow sports star Chris, with whom he once had a feud. Bec reunited with Ben at the 2024 Brownlow Medal in Melbourne in September after revealing he was her teenage crush. The WAG, who arrived on the arm of her husband Chris, had previously revealed she was 'star-struck' when she first met Ben. The pair were reunited at the awards ceremony, with Bec sharing a photo of the sweet moment to her Instagram Stories. 'OG's only! Ben Cousins is on the gram,' she wrote tagging Instagram and adding, 'Any chance of a blue tick for the Prince of Perth?' The pair cosied up for a selfie, both beaming for the camera. While Bec had husband Chris with her, Ben took his sister, Melanie, as his date for AFL's night of nights. She previously explained on KIIS FM's 3pm Pick-Up she had dinner with Ben when she first started dating her now-husband Chris. Radio host Katie 'Monty' Dimond couldn't resist making a joke about how different Rebecca's life would have been if she had married Ben instead of Chris. Bec said: 'My husband Chris played with Ben at the [West Coast] Eagles. 'In high school, my friend Carla had a life-size cut out of Ben Cousins at the beach with just a towel in her bedroom. We would always just froth at the picture!' 'And then I started dating Chris... there was a footy game in Melbourne and we all went out for dinner after the football game,' she continued. 'I was so scared the whole night to even look at [Ben] or say anything because I was so nervous. 'And then at the end of the night, I was like [squeaky voice], "Hi, Ben!" And he was just so cool, "Oh, g'day Bec!"' Monty then said: 'How lucky though that you didn't go for him over Juddy! 'Like you probably could have had the option at some point. Imagine how differently your life would have turned out!' In response, Bec clarified she never once thought of Ben romantically, as she had already fallen in love with Chris the moment she met him. The Judds first met at a pub in Perth when they were both 19. They married in December 2010 and are now parents to four children: Oscar, Billie, Tom and Darcy. Sadly, Ben's life went on a downward spiral since his retirement from football in 2010. The 2005 Brownlow Medal winner has battled drug addiction and various legal woes and has even spent time in prison.
