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.

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.

No Big Bash games on Christmas Day or Australia Day
Taking the plunge and putting a Big Bash game on Christmas Day will have to wait, with another key day without cricket this summer. Big Bash officials have once again baulked at putting a match on Christmas Day and will finish the 42-day tournament on the eve of Australia Day. Only a washout of the final will put cricket on January 26. A December 14 start for the tournament has been locked in with a Boxing Day showdown between the Sydney Sixers and Melbourne Stars and a 13th consecutive News Year's Eve clash in Adelaide among the fixture highlights. Pakistan star Babar Azam looms as the headline international act this season, with several of his teammates, including speed demon Shaheen Shaf Afridi, joining the playing ranks. An Ashes Test series will rob the Big Bash of the best Australian and English talent until the final two or three weeks of the tournament, which will finish on January 25, with January 26 slotted as a reserve day for the final. — KFC Big Bash League (@BBL) July 2, 2025 Cricket Australia hasn't played on January 26 since 2023 and has refrained from any mention of Australia Day amid concerns from some players, including Indigenous women's star Ash Gardner, about the implications of playing on a day that has different significance among Australians. Christmas Day was also ruled out, meaning the NBL remains the only Australian sport willing to take the plunge on that day. 'With uninterrupted action every night of the regular season and all the marquee games our fans love, this schedule ensures the BBL remains the heartbeat of summer,' Big Bash boss Alastair Dobson said. 'The fan-favourite fixtures, combined with the family-friendly entertainment that makes the Big Bash, has BBL|15 well positioned to build on the success of last summer. 'We were blown away by the quality of overseas talent signed via the BBL draft and can't wait to see these global superstars in action alongside some of Australia's biggest names.' Despite making himself eligible, English pace ace Jofra Archer was overlooked in the BBL draft, with clubs fearful he would be unavailable due to the Ashes. Archer returned to the England squad for the series against India but missed selection in the second Test. Originally published as The 42-day Big Bash season won't include games on Christmas Day or Australia Day
