British tourist is roasted over the very trivial reason he has given up on Australia after just six months
A British expat has been slammed after revealing the surprising reason he turned his back on Australia after living Down Under for just six months. Dan Lezar, who starred in Netflix series Cheat: Unfinished Business, said he moved to Australia to play cricket for the summer, but struggled to enjoy his time because he lived in Newtown, in Sydney's inner west, instead of by the beach. 'You know those people that go to Australia and find themselves? That wasn't me I lost myself,' Mr Lezar said in a TikTok. 'The only good thing about Australia was the blue skies, but in Sydney you didn't get it that often. It actually rained a lot, so for me I was like, "Why am I here? I have no friends".' After six months, Mr Lezar returned home to Wales and explained his struggle to make friends was the deciding factor in leaving Australia. He said that although Australia was a 'beautiful' country, he 'made the mistake of not living by the beach so I didn't have the Aussie dream'. Mr Lezar claimed those who adapt the best to Sydney life have moved with a partner, a group of friends or have solo-travelled and met others before settling in one place. He said the friends he did make often lived in the eastern suburbs and he found it difficult meeting up with them while living in the inner west. The Netflix star said it would take him up to 40 minutes to get to the beach and this wasn't feasible on weekdays while working full-time, and on the weekends the eastern suburb beaches 'were too busy'. Mr Lezar said he made the mistake of not planning better in advance and would advise other British expats to pay more to live by the beach. 'My issue was where I was living it felt like I was back home, there wasn't a lot to do yet I was on the other side of the world with no friends,' he said. Mr Lezar said he struggled with his mental health while in Sydney and this ultimately led him to making the decision to return home. He also expressed his shock at how expensive it was to live in the Harbour City compared to his small hometown in Wales. Mr Lezar's take on Sydney living was slammed by several Australians who questioned his desire to live by the beach. 'Why are people so obsessed with living by beach?' one commented. 'Especially in Sydney? There is so much more to our amazing country than Sydney (or Melbourne or QLD incl Gold Coast).' 'Living near the beach doesn't get you friends or fun, this is a weird focus,' another wrote. 'Making friends is very hard nowadays, I only made friends overseas through hostels, houseshare and work, honestly.' Others advised expats should try and live elsewhere in Australia. 'Why does everyone come to Sydney?' someone asked. 'The country is massive with so much more to offer than Bondi which is an overrated beach anyway. You moved to the other side of the world and stayed in one place?' 'As an Australian that's lived in a lot of different states Sydney isn't the friendliest place,' another said. 'I'm from Queensland it's so much easier to make connections there.' Others agreed with Mr Lezar saying it was 'super hard making friends here in Sydney'. 'You're right about what you say,' another chimed in. 'Sydney is ridiculously expensive, the beaches are packed on weekends and it's a hassle to get there. Sydney would be great if you didn't have to worry about money.'

Love Island star says Netflix show changed his life after 'tough' time
Love Island star Biggs Chris candidly opened up on enduring a tough time in recent years following the heartbreaking split between himself and the mother to his child, Ziyon Biggs Chris has candidly revealed how taking part in a brand new Netflix show has 'changed his life' for the better, after enduring a tough time in recent years. The reality star and influencer's appearance on Netflix's Cheat: Unfinished Business saw him come face to face with his ex-girlfriend Rebecca Gormley, who he met while on the winter version Love Island in 2020. The pair didn't spark up romance until after leaving the villa and the pair dated for some time before eventually splitting in the summer of 2021. They remained amicable, despite allegations of cheating on both sides. Biggs, 33, moved on to have a new relationship and started a family with his ex-girlfriend, Summer Hawkins. But, the pair sadly split weeks before his son Ziyon was born in December 2023. Following the split from the mother of his child, Biggs took part in Netflix show Cheat, Unfinished Business, in which he came face to face with his Love Island ex Rebecca to make a confession. In the show, he admits to cheating on her but, the TV star has revealed in an exclusive interview with the Mirror that Rebecca was the one who approached him about doing the show – which made him think she was also going to admit to being unfaithful. Biggs revealed: "Rebecca messaged me asking if I would do a TV show and I was like, 'yeah, why not? Sounds good, let's do it.' Then I found out what it was." He added: "So it never had an official name, but they were either gonna call it Second Chance or Cheat Unfinished Business, so I knew it was gonna be about cheating or working something out. So I thought Rebecca... there was always something between us, you get me, there was always something there lingering up throughout all these years. "And I thought she was coming on to admit that she cheated because there was speculations that she cheated. So I thought, 'you know what, let me use this opportunity to tell you that I cheated and let's build from that, let's see if we could, like, fix it from there'. But yeah, then obviously, the madness happened." During the show, Biggs comes face to face with Rebecca and admits he was unfaithful towards the end of their relationship. And, after Rebecca admitted she was "struggling to move on" from Biggs' admission, the pair's relationship ended for good – and, sadly, on bad terms, despite remaining friends in the three years after their split. During the series, Rebecca sparked up chemistry with another participant, Craig, which sparked fury in the group and amongst viewers. The pair were flirting in secret, unbeknownst to Biggs and Craig's ex Jazz, and things got messy when it was revealed to Biggs during a 'reckoning' that Rebecca had been flirting with Craig. Since the show, Biggs revealed he and Rebecca are no longer on speaking terms. "We don't speak, we've not spoke since," Biggs revealed. Although Biggs' relationship with Rebecca didn't end up in the outcome he initially wanted, the reality star and property mogul managed to take some really positive lessons from his time on the show and said dating expert Paul C Brunson, who was on the Netflix show to help coach the couples, has changed his life. Speaking of Paul, the star gushed: "He's changed my life, like, literally, I've told him that he's changed my life. The way I think, because I'm not... So, the mistake I made in the relationship with Rebecca was not being honest, so she liked to party, and I just wanted to build, so I didn't voice that enough. So I would just party with her, party with her, and then at the back of my mind, I'll be counting the days, like, [until] I'd leave, does that make sense? But if she had no idea, I'd just hated complaining, but that's a mistake. Now, Paul has taught me that if you're feeling something, say it, don't hold it in, say it, and, like, talk about it." Biggs has since taken the lessons he's learned from the experience into his current romance with Emily. The pair now live together and Biggs prefers to keep his romance on a much lower profile than his previous relationships as he's learned some difficult lessons throughout the years. He told us: "I'm happy in my life now. Things are finally going the way it's supposed to. It's been a... it's been a tough couple... it's been a tough – the past two years have been tough. Especially like with my baby mum leaving, like walking out, and now I'm having to fly to see my son. But you know what? Everything happens for a reason." Biggs added that despite the heartache around his split with the mother of his child, his son, Ziyon is "the best thing that ever happened to me". He revealed: "I've always wanted a family. That was my number one goal. Even though it might not look like it, the way I've got this player image. But it's just my number one goal was to have a family and build together." And as for his new romance, he's determined to keep things private – despite sharing the occasional glimpse of his stunning girlfriend on TikTok. He explained: "I'm saying I want to keep it private, even though it's all over TikTok and that, but I'm protecting this relationship. I don't want to make the same mistake, for example, with my ex, Summer, I exposed her to that life, and now, it's like I created a monster, and that's what my dad's been trying to prevent, like, he's always been saying to me, 'like, try and keep your relationship private, because you're exposing them, and then, they take it and run'. Because [when] I met Summer, my baby mum, she was a teacher, so she was this nice, quiet teacher, I exposed her to this world, and now, I've created a monster. "My goal was to never date an influencer, like, I'm not dissing influencers, but I'm an influencer, but it's just, it's good to keep it private, post here and there, but I won't make that my main priority now." Now Biggs is blissfully happy in his romance, he has vowed against doing anymore dating shows – but is still up for doing more reality TV. He revealed: "I wouldn't do any dating shows, but I'd be happy to do, like, Big Brother, or any cool shows that, or any property shows. I'm really big on properties, so I would do something like that, but dating shows, I feel like I've passed, and I got what I needed, you get me, I've got the relationship and help I needed from it, so, yeah."

Can your cheating partner ever change? Married at First Sight's Paul Brunson reveals the truth...
There's gut-wrenching heartbreak, tears and tantrums, and devilish duplicity in new Netflix reality show Cheat: Unfinished Business, as couples ripped apart by infidelity come face to face to heal their scars. The explosive new series gives viewers an intimate look at the emotional journeys of eight couples dealing with the aftermath of a betrayal and asks burning questions like, 'Will a cheat always be a cheat?' and 'Can trust ever be rebuilt?' Hosted by Amanda Holden, it brings ex-partners together at a retreat in Mallorca, where they confront their past transgressions and explore the possibility of reconciliation, guided by life coach and Married At First Sight's relationship expert Paul C Brunson. In a delicate step-by-step process, Paul helps the participants delve into the emotional turmoil caused by the betrayal in an attempt to assuage the pain, confront the truth and rebuild trust. But will the cheaters be able to earn forgiveness and win back the hearts of those they betrayed, or will they have to bury their relationship for good? 'We're destroying the great myth that you can't come back from infidelity, and another myth that suggests a cheat will always be a cheat,' says Paul. 'Infidelity is complex and painful, but it doesn't always have to end a relationship. If both partners are willing to put in the work to rebuild trust, the whole process can often make their relationship even stronger than before.' Paul, who's also a resident expert on Channel 4 's Celebs Go Dating and has his own hit podcast We Need To Talk, adds, 'Everything becomes better, from the bond to the satisfaction and the sex. 'Yes, there's anger and sadness because there was betrayal. But this show is about optimism, it's about transparency, and it's about our desire to be better. I was shocked with a lot of the outcomes and I think the audience will be too.' First, the ex-couples meet in the Reckoning Room. 'I want them to know there's no judgment in here,' says Amanda. 'They're good people who have made mistakes we can all relate to. None of us are perfect.' Paul agrees. 'We have lots of good people with sometimes bad behaviour so it's about helping them to correct that behaviour. But you cannot begin to build trust until there is full transparency, especially for those who have been cheated on as they need to have answers as to why. 'We try to get them to a place of forgiveness and understanding. This is the Atonement Phase. It can take years, as many people didn't perceive what they did as cheating because maybe their father or mother did this, yet they still loved each other.' In the case of Liam and Olivia, Liam admits to cheating once, but denies a second time with another girl, even after Olivia shows him the messages sent to her from the girl he cheated with. 'I just want him to be honest,' says Olivia. 'She went into details you wouldn't know unless it was true, so I'm struggling to believe him.' Paul says honesty is essential. 'The truth is the single best thing couples can do. But there are some interesting twists. Liam looks like he has all the responsibility for making this relationship right. But Olivia has work to do around boundary-setting and asserting herself. 'Another myth to bust is 'never go to bed on an argument'. It's actually much easier to talk in the morning as you're no longer flooded with the fight-or-flight emotion,' Paul says. Sex isn't always a deal-breaker either. 'Most men perceive a physical infidelity as the highest level of betrayal, whereas most women perceive an emotional infidelity as the highest level. Most men will say, 'Did you sleep with him?' And most women will say, 'Do you love her?' 'Another myth is that the more sex you have, the happier you are. The key to a happy relationship is 'responsive desire'. Spontaneous desire is what you see in the movies – coming home from work and pulling off all your clothes to have sex. No one does that after the first weeks of a relationship,' says Paul. 'Responsive desire comes from continuing to affirm each other as we become closer emotionally. We're building up a reserve of desire so when it's time for sex, you're willing and wanting, responding to what you've built up together. 'I want to say to guys working out to increase their athletic performance, 'This is not going to help!' Good sex is all to do with how safe you feel with that partner and that comes from responsive desire.' Next is the Attunement Phase: learning how to talk with mutual respect. It can only happen when 'there's been forgiveness and full acceptance of the betrayal,' says Paul. 'You are learning how to do things that perhaps you've never done, and why you had low satisfaction to begin with. You can develop skills so when triggers come up you can manage them without repercussions and blame.' The final phase is Attachment, in which the couples try to reconnect physically and emotionally, using their new skills to create understanding. 'Cheat focuses on what happened and why. What did the relationship actually look like? Did you really care? Was this the right partner?' says Paul. 'Infidelity needs to be talked about. You might have post-traumatic stress disorder, you become more hyper-vigilant, you have lower self-worth, your entire life has changed. We need to support those who've been impacted by it.'
