Skye Wheatley reveals tensions in her relationship with partner Lachie amid lengthy home renovations
Skye Wheatley has opened up about the escalating tensions in her relationship with her partner Lachlan Waugh, amid extensive renovations on their Gold Coast home. The influencer, 31, discussed the situation on the latest episode of her Nova podcast Skye & Callum, in which she admitted she and Lachlan had been constantly arguing. 'He is so annoying... he harassed, harassed, harassed for the furniture to be delivered,' Skye began. She added it was not a good time for the planned delivery as the property was not set up for it. 'There's no f***ing roof! Like what do you want to do with this furniture? It's just sitting there in boxes. There's dust and s**t everywhere,' she vented. 'I'm not getting that f***ing furniture out of the box.' She then said the process was also hurting their financial well-being. 'We've had to take out a second loan… the first loan was $800K, the second loan was $400K, and we're not even gonna be completely finished,' she said. 'We need to clean! That's a whole other job in itself. The tradies don't get paid to go in and clean up after themselves.' Skye has long been open about the difficulties of her home renovation project, and in July last year, she shocked her fans by getting into a screaming match with her partner Lachlan during a work day. The podcaster shared a shocking video on Instagram showing Lachlan giving Skye a tour of the renovation work at their new home. The footage began with Lachlan showcasing the work, pointing out which rooms would feature skylights to let in the beaming sun. 'I've just ordered the windows and designed the room myself!' a proud Lachlan told Skye, who initially agreed his plans were 'stunning'. However, Skye soon became upset with some of Lachlan's plans and questioned why he'd included skylights in some rooms but not others. 'A skylight is pointless in this room because of the beautiful window. We could have used that skylight in the [walk-in wardrobe],' a frustrated Skye began. 'Oh my God, why wouldn't you think of that? There's skylights where they don't need to be and none where they do need to be!' However, Lachlan was having none of it and became frustrated as he told his partner he chose the ideal locations for the skylights - and insisted none was needed in the wardrobe. 'It's a f***ing room, how many rooms do you go in that are dark? It's fine, what are you actually worried about, that you won't be able to take a photo in there?' a furious Lachlan asked. Skye rose to fame back on Big Brother Australia in 2014 and is now a full-time influencer with 645,000 followers. In 2023, Wheatley put her $75,000 Mercedes on the market to help finance the renovation work on her luxurious Gold Coast mansion. The former Big Brother star-turned-influencer shared a photo of her white Mercedes on Instagram, inviting interested buyers to message her.

Skye Wheatley's renovation nightmare as she breaks down in tears after massive mistake - with dream home still not finished after five years
Skye Wheatley has broken down in tears amid her ongoing home renovation nightmare - revealing her husband Lachlan Waugh built a staircase so oversized it's left her completely overwhelmed. The former Big Brother contestant, 29, took to Instagram on Wednesday to share raw updates from inside her Gold Coast mansion reno, confessing she 'started crying' when tradies asked her too many questions on-site. 'Wait till I update you on the latest reno disasters,' she wrote. 'I actually started crying and walked out when the trades were asking me questions.' The emotional meltdown came as Wheatley revealed the couple are still struggling to complete their dream home a whopping five years after purchasing the Spanish-style property in Tallai for $975,000. The star also admitted she's relying on ADHD medication to cope with the mental toll, revealing she takes 60mg of Vyvanse daily but still suffers from 'chronic overwhelm'.

Skye Wheatley (pictured) has broken down in tears amid her ongoing home renovation nightmare - revealing her husband Lachlan Waugh built a staircase so oversized it's left her completely overwhelmed The former Big Brother contestant, 29, took to Instagram on Wednesday to share raw updates from inside her Gold Coast mansion reno, confessing she 'started crying and walked out' when tradies asked her too many questions on-site In another post, the influencer joked about the size of the staircase - the same feature that fans recently slammed as 'too big for the space' - and shrugged off concerns about the pendant lighting, which she said now resembled something X-rated. 'Hahaha that's what Lachy said and I agree,' she wrote in response to a follower who said the light was too small. 'But I'm at the point now where I don't even give a flying f**k if there's a penis pendant hanging from the ceiling after five years of reno.' The dramatic staircase has now become the latest flashpoint in a renovation saga that has dragged on since 2019. Wheatley and her partner Lachlan Waugh bought the dilapidated four-bedroom property with dreams of transforming it into a glamorous family home. But nearly half a decade later, the house is still unfinished - plagued by budget blowouts, emotional stress and construction delays. At one point, the couple were living in a half-renovated section of the house while Skye was pregnant with their second child. She's previously admitted to hauling rubble and breaking down in tears multiple times throughout the process. Their financial strain deepened last year when Waugh's shopfitting business collapsed into administration, forcing Wheatley to take on more influencing work to fund the rebuild. Since settling on the project back in 2019, one of Skye's first tasks was restoring the sizeable swimming pool, which had became swamp-like A team of professionals drained the pool, gave it an acid wash and scrubbed the tiles back to their former glory. Pictured: The pool after Despite trying to laugh off the chaos, Wheatley's latest posts have painted a raw picture of just how much pressure she's under Despite trying to laugh off the chaos, Wheatley's latest posts have painted a raw picture of just how much pressure she's under. 'It helps, but I still suffer with chronic overwhelm,' she admitted in a recent Q&A with fans. 'It just helps like a crutch.' Wheatley's five-year reno journey has been well documented - from online backlash over her bathroom layout, to removing the home's original terracotta floors and redesigning entire wings of the house mid-construction. And while she's maintained a sense of humour through much of the drama, even her most loyal fans are beginning to question whether the project will ever be complete. 'Five years and counting,' one follower commented. 'I'd have moved out and burnt it down by now.' Still, Wheatley insists the finish line is in sight. Parts of the home, including her lavish marble bathroom and now-infamous curved staircase, are finally coming together - though not without criticism. She has continued to share regular updates with her 647,000 followers and has even hinted at a full house tour when the renovation is finally complete.

Skye Wheatley reveals the real reason she was dropped from Big Brother and how a sex scandal saw her reality television comeback fail
Skye Wheatley has opened up about the reason she was dropped from the 14th season of Big Brother Australia. The reality star, who featured in the 11th season of the show, revealed on the Nova podcast Skye & Callum that she was initially set to appear on the series before an 'online scandal' saw her get the axe. 'I got hit up to go back on [Big Brother] and then basically this big online scandal thing happened… it blew up,' she told her co-host and Love Island alum Callum Hole, 27. 'Got heaps of hate. You know, all my sponsors were dropping me. It was a f**ked time in my life… 'Got an email the next day from the producers, and they were like, "hey, sorry. We've decided not to put her in the mix,'" the 30-year-old said. 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. So what scandal saw Skye booted from a second shot on Big Brother? Two weeks before filming, Skye did an Instagram Q&A on her Story where she answered a question about her longtime partner Lachlan Waugh that rubbed her fans the wrong way. Skye and Lachlan, who share two sons, Forest, five, and Bear, three, have been together for eight years. When asked by a fan who was dominant in the bedroom, Skye replied that if she was in the mood, she 'wasn't going to take 'no' for an answer', adding that her partner actually liked it when she was the one who initiated sex. However, the comment received fierce backlash online, with many up in arms over the fact that she was 'making' her boyfriend have non-consensual sex. At the time, Skye slammed her fans for 'twisting' her words and ended up issuing an apology. However, the throwaway comment saw her lose the deal with Channel 10 and a shot at a second time around on the popular reality series. Reflecting on the scandal, Skye said that the moment left her 'heartbroken' and devastated, with her mum even admitting that she lost her sparkle after the opportunity fell through. She added that the network never disclosed why they decided to cut her at the last minute, however she did get a tip-off about a contributing factor. 'Get this, after I'm A Celeb (I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here), Ben Morris interviewed me and he said that apparently Tim Dormer, which was another Big Brother guy who was going in the house that year…' she said. 'Apparently he said, "if you put Skye in the house, I'm not doing it." 'So they obviously chose him,' she revealed. Wheatley recently made a surprising admission about her sexuality. The former reality star confessed she may be 'pansexual' and would have explored that side of herself more if she had never started dating Lachlan. Skye agreed, revealing she learned about pansexuality while watching the Stan reality TV show, Love Triangle. 'I didn't know what pansexuality was until watching this show,' she said. 'But basically you are attracted to the person's personality, not what sex they are… you could be attracted to anyone, but you're attracted to their personality.'

Skye Wheatley makes shock confession about her sexuality: 'I could have gone down that path'
Skye Wheatley made a surprising admission about her sexuality on Thursday during the latest episode of her Nova FM podcast Skye & Callum. The influencer, 31, shares sons Forest, five, and Bear, three, with her current long-time partner of eight years Lachlan Waugh.

I definitely connect with people's personalities,' she added. The confession comes after Skye and Lachlan, 34, caused confusion in November 2024 when they shared loved-up photos just days after announcing their split. The pair looked very cosy in pictures shared to Instagram, which appeared to be taken during a night out. She wrote cryptically in her caption: 'Can't say we didn't live life.' Skye stunned in the photos as she showed off the results of her recent eye lift surgery while Lachlan kissed her on the cheek. Further photos showed the influencer couple embracing as if nothing was amiss in their romance. The stunner drank a cocktail and posed up a storm, clearly relaxed and back in love with Lachlan despite their recent domestic issues. Just days earlier, Skye confirmed she had separated from her partner. The Gold Coast-based mum-of-two explained the reason Lachlan had not appeared in her recent Q&A videos was because they decided to take time apart. 'Honestly not much to report. We just have a lil re-set break from time to time, it's good,' she told her fans. The former reality star has previously spoken at length about the couple's struggles and admitted they have recently been going to counselling. She said 2024 was all about achieving goals, a journey which included addressing the challenges in her relationship with Lachlan. 'Lachy and I went to a counselling session yesterday,' Skye said. The session, initially intended as occupational therapy for their son Forest, turned into a much-needed intervention for the couple. Skye's realised their son's behaviour could be influenced by their relationship dynamics and it prompted her to take action.
