Jackie 'O' Henderson flees to Fiji after Channel Seven buries her struggling reality TV dating show Stranded on Honeymoon Island
Jackie 'O' Henderson has left Australia for an overseas getaway after her Channel Seven reality TV show Stranded on Honeymoon Island flopped spectacularly. The radio star popped up in Fiji on Thursday, where Instagram footage showed the 50-year-old enjoying the seaside escape on a catamaran. Jackie O could seen on the the boat as crystal-clear waters and palm trees swayed around her to the tune of Empty by Ray LaMontagne. She later relaxed poolside at the Kokomo Private Island Resort, with a picturesque make-up-free snap showing the star in a stunning one-piece. It's understood a five-night stay at the luxury Kokomo Private Island Resort, including all meals and airport transfers, starts from a hefty $16,335 per person. Jackie O's South Pacific island getaway comes after she spent time with family and friends at a waterside home in NSW's Scotland Island recently. Her escape from work coincides with Seven spending a whopping $15 million on Stranded on Honeymoon Island, which Jackie narrates. The show follows a fresh batch of singles matched by relationship experts and dropped off on a remote island in their wedding attire. It combines of the traditional drama elements of Channel Nine's Married At First Sight with the wild challenges seen on Survivor Australia. Jackie's narration was expected to "bring an added layer of warmth and humour, making the series even more irresistible," according to a Channel Seven spokesperson. However, despite the mammoth investment and radio talent, the reality dating show reportedly lost more than 160,000 viewers after its premiere. It clocked 539,000 viewers on June 27, only for that figure to take a huge nosedive the following evening, recording 376,000 viewers. The Seven Network then pushed the embattled series back to a later time before removing it from its Monday roster entirely. The network now airs Stranded on Honeymoon Island twice a week, back-to-back during a "midweek graveyard slot", according to a TV insider who told Daily Mail Australia Seven entirely "missed the mark." 'They invested so much into making this show a hit,' the insider said. 'The content was raw and authentic, especially during those camp cove MAFS dinner party-style segments—but somehow they missed the mark.' An ex-crew member also told the publication the show "had potential" but needed "tighter editing, stronger storytelling, and a network that actually believed in it," adding investing a lot of money doesn't guarantee a TV hit. Stranded on Honeymoon Island was originally scheduled to premiere in mid-2024, with its year-long delay reportedly frustrating some of the cast, who were contractually required to refrain from posting on social media. One male cast member even proposed to his real-life girlfriend while waiting for the show to air. The show first premiered in Belgium, where it became a ratings success, and has since been adapted in several countries, including Germany, Portugal, the Netherlands, the Czech Republic, the UK, and now Australia.

Winner to hold July concert without Song Min-ho
Three-member show to be staged amid ongoing investigation into Song's alternative military service Boy group Winner will be returning to the stage for its first concert in over three years, marking a highly anticipated comeback following the members' discharge from military service. YG Entertainment confirmed Wednesday that the group is planning a July concert, its first since April 2022. However, member Song Min-ho will not be participating in the show due to an ongoing investigation into his military service record. Song, who served as a social service agent, is currently under police investigation for allegedly failing to fulfill his duties during that time, which can be interpreted as a violation of the Military Service Act. 'Despite the circumstances, we decided to move forward with the concert out of respect for the fans who have been waiting for so long. The decision also reflects the members' strong desire to meet them,' said YG Entertainment in Wednesday's announcement. The performance will feature three members — Kang Seung-yoon, Kim Jin-woo and Lee Seung-hoon. YG added that further details about the concert would be announced separately. After debuting in 2014 with studio album "2014 S/S," Winner went on to release a string of hit songs including 'Really Really' and 'Empty.' Notably, Song Min-ho garnered acclaim beyond group activities after finishing as runner-up in Season 4 of Mnet's "Show Me the Money," which aired in 2015, and continued building a solo career with multiple albums. He also became a popular television personality, appearing on shows such as tvN's "New Journey to the West" and MBC's "Home Alone." Song began his alternative military service in March 2023 at a community facility in Mapo-gu, Seoul, and was officially discharged in December 2024. However, allegations soon surfaced suggesting he had not been properly fulfilling his duties, and frequently failed to show up for work. Police then launched an investigation and have since booked Song for suspected violations of the Military Service Act.
