From Married At First stars to the cast of Real Housewives of Sydney : All the famous faces brutally snubbed from the 2025 Logie Awards
It is only a week until the highly anticipated 2025 TV WEEK Logie Awards - and famous faces are gearing up for one of the biggest nights in television. With beloved rocker Jimmy Barnes set to take the stage at The Star Sydney on August 3, and Sam Pang hosting the event for the third time, the annual celebration has been the talk of the town. However, while tongues have been wagging about the stacked guest list, they've also been noting the glaring absences, with a slew of stars from Australia's favourite shows set to miss the red carpet event next week. Some of the biggest names to not to make the guest list include MasterChef 2024 runner-up Josh 'Pezza' Perry, The Block's Ricky Recard and the whole of the Married At First Sight cast. Speaking to Yahoo Lifestyle about the brutal cast snub, MAFS bride Jamie Marinos revealed she had long doubted that she and her co-stars would receive an invite to the Logies. 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. 'To be honest, I felt like there was all this talk that we were gonna get invited, but I just didn't trust it, so I actually booked a trip to Europe and I'm doing my own kind of publicity tour in London,' she said. 'None of us were bloody invited,' she revealed, adding: 'It's a shame because I know the rest of the cast probably would have been looking forward to it too. I would have loved to have gone to the Logies with everyone.' Despite the cast being left off the invite list, love experts John Aiken and Alessandra Rampolla will be in attendance to represent the popular show. However, MAFS isn't the only program that has seen cast members snubbed while their judges make the cut. The Block's Scott Cam and Shelley Craft received a Logies invite, however the teams from last year's 20th season - including fan-favourite Ricky Recard - did not. Similarly, Manu Feildel and Colin Fassnidge of My Kitchen Rules will be in attendance, but the teams from the 2024 season - including champion Simone Preste - are understood to be missing it. Despite Real Housewives of Sydney being nominated for the first time at the Logies, none of the show's stars were invited to the glitzy event. Victoria Montano said she was under 'no misconceptions' over whether production would prioritise themselves for a seat at the ceremony, despite the Housewives opening up their lives for public consumption'. MasterChef Australia judges Sofia Levin and Poh Ling will be at the Logies, with Poh up for the most coveted award of the night, The Gold Logie. However, 2024 runner-up Josh Perry revealed that he didn't receive an invite, despite first and second place winners attending the ceremony in the past. It is not yet known if Farmer Wants A Wife host Natalie Gruzlewski and Australian Survivor host Jonathan LaPaglia will be at the ceremony, but it's highly unlikely considering Natalie's 10 year red carpet hiatus and Jonathan's recent axing by Channel 10. As for Australian Idol, this year's winner 19-year-old Marshall Hamburger will be in attendance, as will host Ricki-Lee Coulter, who is up for the Most Popular Presenter award, but it is not known if other contestants received an invitation. The Logie nominations were officially announced in June at the Sydney Opera House, seeing a slew of Aussie favourites up for big awards in television. As for fans watching at home, voting is now open and will remain so until 7pm on Friday, August 1.

Aussie icon set to headline the 2025 Logie Awards is revealed
The 65th TV Week Logie Awards have finally revealed their headline act for this year's ceremony. Beloved rocker Jimmy Barnes is set to take the stage at The Star Sydney on August 3, bringing four decades of fan-favourite hits to Aussie ears. Jimmy, who has 21 number-one albums under his belt as well as a place in the ARIA Hall of Fame, revealed he couldn't wait to 'get the party jumping' at the annual awards ceremony. 'I am excited about playing at the Logies, television's big night of nights,' the 69-year-old said. 'It will be great to celebrate all the fantastic talent we have in Australian television, and to play some rock'n'roll music to get the party jumping.' 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. The Aussie icon will be joined by the likes of Kitty Flanagan, Hamish Blake and Leigh Sales, who are just a few of the presenters expected to wow the crowd. It has also been revealed that Sam Pang will host the event for the third time. Sam's cheeky and irreverent comedy as host last year and in 2023 proved to be a big hit with audiences and TV's A-list, as well as a major ratings winner for Seven. 'It's been an honour to host the last two years and I'm looking forward to again celebrating the talented people and amazing shows that combine to make the Australian television industry something everyone can be proud of,' Sam told The Herald Sun. 'I am very excited to return for another Logies and would like to thank Seven for asking me back.' The Logie nominations were officially announced in June at the Sydney Opera House and Aussies were relieved to see a certain TV icon up for the most coveted category. Lynne McGranger, who played Irene Roberts on the soap opera Home and Away for over 33 years, has finally scored a Gold Logie nomination for her hard work. Taking to Instagram, the 72-year-old Aussie star gushed about the milestone moment in her career and urged fans to vote. 'Well this is some fabulous news to get while I'm away!!' she penned. 'I am so thrilled to be nominated for a Silver Logie for Best Lead Actress in a Drama and the coveted GOLD LOGIE!' Also nominated for the number one gong is A Current Affair's Ally Langdon, 46, who won Best News or Public Affairs Presenter last year. Not his first rodeo, two-time winner Hamish Blake, 43, is in the draw again for the Gold Logie, having won it back in 2022 for Lego Masters and in 2012 for Hamish and Andy's Gap Year. Former ABC News Breakfast presenter Lisa Millar, 56, is also in the running for the top prize for her work on Backroads and Muster Dogs. Also in the running is MasterChef Australia's Poh Ling Yeow, 51, who was recently plagued with speculation that she may be stepping back from the beloved cooking show before revealing she had signed on to return in 2026. Julia Morris, 57, is set to battle it out for the Gold Logie too, after hosting Network 10's I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! in South Africa alongside conservationist Robert Irwin. And last but not least, Dancing With The Stars' Sonia Kruger, 59, is up for the number one gong again after nabbing a Gold Logie back in 2023. Voting is now open and will remain so until 7pm on Friday August 1. The ceremony will be available to watch on Seven and 7Plus.
