Aussie tradie and Love Island star revealed as mystery man in sexy ad with Martha Stewart
An Aussie tradie was left 'buzzing' after his recent sexy encounter with domestic goddess Martha Stewart. The US powerhouse starred in a sultry ad campaign for Rexona's new Whole Body Deodorant last week, turning up the heat in a cheeky TV commercial with a mystery man. The tall, dark and handsome suitor's face was not shown in the ad, just his chiselled torso displayed from under a satin robe that matched Stewart's silky negligee. But today, can exclusively reveal the man's identity as Gold Coast-based electrician Tommy Armour, who also appeared on Season 6 of Love Island Australia last year. 'Honestly, still pinching myself,' he exclusively tells 'I was on a job site just over a year ago, and now I'm filming next to Martha Stewart talking about my feet for Rexona's new Whole Body Deodorant – life's wild.' Indeed, Armour's feet were also front and centre in the ad, as Rexona's new Whole Body Deodorant promises to tackle odour from head to toes. But it didn't bother him being the face behind the foot. 'I've always been up for a laugh and keen to put myself out there, so when Rexona came knocking, I was all in,' he says. 'Turns out, my toes have been waiting for their big break.' Armour secretly filmed the ad in May when Stewart was in Sydney to headline an event at the Vivid Festival. The duo filmed the footage inside the landmark Crypto Castle in South Coogee – and both had to keep the project under wraps until last week. Now that the cat's out of the bag, Armour's phone has been ringing off the hook. His mates became 'suss when I kept dodging questions' about flying to Sydney for a shoot. He simply told them he was 'working on something fresh', which turned out to be true. 'The reactions have been hilarious, my phone hasn't stopped,' he tells us. 'I've had mates sending screenshots, my mum asking if I'm famous now, and way too many jokes about my feet.' 'Never thought I'd be known for my feet, but hey, if the foot fits … I'll take it! Honestly, it's been such a fun ride. Working with Martha and Rexona, and being part of something this unexpected has been a real pinch-me moment.' The ultimate highlight of the experience was filming alongside Stewart – a model, mogul, influencer whose TV shows, lifestyle books, magazines and product lines have helped make her the first self-made female billionaire in US history. 'She's a total icon. I always thought she was classy and kind of the queen of all things home and lifestyle, but I didn't realise how funny she was until I met her,' Armour says. 'Honestly, I was starstruck. Everyone was. She's such a professional, and smelt amazing, by the way. We had a good laugh on set, and surprisingly great chemistry as you can see from the teaser clip! I wasn't expecting to vibe with her as much as I did, but she's a legend.' Armour also made sure he was primed and ready for his encounter with the iconic star, even putting his 'schnittys on pause for a few weeks' in preparation for the role. But for him, it was more about 'smelling good than looking shredded' for the ad. 'Rexona Whole Body Deodorant gives you odour protection from top to toe, and when your foot's going to be inches from Martha Stewart's face, you want to smell on point. Pedicures, the lot!' he says. Armour is no stranger to the spotlight. In 2024, he appeared on Season 6 of Love Island Australia, only to shock his fellow Islanders when he chose to leave three days later after failing to finding a connection. He still made an impact on the dating program, gained attention for his unique party trick of eating whole raw eggs – shell included. His party trick has now gone viral on TikTok, and the loveable larrikin has earned the nickname 'Egg Man'. So did he show this trick to culinary expert Stewart while they were filming in Sydney? 'I wanted to, trust me. But no, I reckon she would've critiqued my yolk control. Maybe next time.' And he's hoping there is a next time … 'Maybe it's time to go from foot model to hand model, hey Rexona?' he jokes when asked what's next for him. 'But mostly, I'm out here feeling fresh, having fun, trying new things, and bringing good energy wherever I go.'

Are the new designer deodorants really worth it?
Daily Mail journalists select and curate the products that feature on our site. If you make a purchase via links on this page we will earn commission - learn more Deodorant, that most basic of items, is having a moment. With the 'skin-ification' of body products (using active ingredients found typically in face serums) gaining traction, skincare brands from Drunk Elephant to Necessaire have been adding deos to their ranges – and last year Gen Z were all over TikTok suggesting switching your usual go-to for a swipe of glycolic acid (more on that later). There's a growing focus on ingredients, too – while long-standing concerns about whether aluminium, often found in anti-perspirants, can cause breast cancer have been dismissed by Cancer Research UK, the claim still unnerves. Yet the armpit business is hotting up. In April, premium refillable-deodorant brand Wild sold its six-year-old company to multinational giant Unilever, netting some £100 million. This might explain the recent slew of designer odour-beaters that have landed on the market. So which new-gen products are worth it? All-over sprays As sweat isn't confined to our armpits, brands are busy trying to convince us we need products to keep us sweet-smelling all over. The recently launched Sure Whole Body Deo (from £5.25, comes in cream, stick and spray form, with a Fresh Citrus scent. Do note, however, that 'whole body' doesn't mean your nether regions. The All Over Deodorant (£14, by women's intimate-care brand Luna Daily, is designed for that area and claims to keep our pH and microbiome at optimum levels without destroying healthy bacteria. However, still steer clear of the easily irritated area inside your bikini line. Rating 2/5 A daily shower is preferable. Sure Women Fresh Citrus Whole Body Deodorant Cream 72h Odour Control 75ml Sweat-free for days Mitchum, long known for high-strength formulas, has just released Women Ultimate 72H Anti-Perspirant & Deodorant (£4.05, promising ultra-powerful (and apparently clinically proven) protection from BO for three days. Another small but mighty option comes from Perspirex (£9.99, which you apply to clean, dry skin before bed, when sweat ducts are less active. While you sleep, aluminium chloride forms temporary plugs in the ducts that stay in place for three to five days – they shed naturally with your skin cells. You may wake up with itchy armpits after the first night, but it does work to limit sweat for several days. Rating 3/5 For the super- sweaty only. £4.05 Shop Perspirex Strong Antiperspirant Roll-On 20ml £9.99 Shop Deo/skincare Turns out the aforementioned Gen Z Tiktok hack – using AHA serums under your arms – does have scientific backing (Glycolic Acid by The Ordinary was the standout favourite). It works by lowering the pH of the underarm skin to make it an unfriendly environment for the bacteria that survive on your sweat – which make you smell. Kosas Chemistry AHA Serum Deodorant (£14, has a trio of AHAs that not only stop any smell but help brighten pigmented underarm skin and chemically exfoliate to avoid ingrown hairs, too. Rating 5/5 We love it! Woo-woo rollerballs Marketed as an 'anti-odorant', Rollr (from £35, has a probiotic-prebiotic formula to stop the bacteria that makes sweat smell. It is applied using the most bougie refillable rollerball ever, and you can choose from different balls made from steel (£35) and precious stones such as rose quartz and blue dumortierite, for 'clarity and focus'. Rating 2/5 Too hippy-dippy for us – we prefer our precious stones in our jewellery, thanks. Rollr £35 Shop Designer scents Can't afford the £153 cologne? The Acqua di Parma Colonia Deodorant Stick (£43, is 28 per cent of the price, has the same scent, recognisable packaging and the promise of a 24-hour stay of fragrance. Rating 3/5 Fab if you can afford it. Colonia Deodorant Stick £43 Shop Sustainable sticks Make Waves Antiperspirant (£20 for an applicator and two refills, wearemake is made entirely in the UK. The applicator was designed by ex-Dyson engineers and produces zero waste – everything is recycled and recyclable. With a focus on natural ingredients suitable for sensitive skin (including hydrating shea butter), there's no risk of irritation. It's the highest rated deodorant on Trustpilot, which is no mean feat. Rating 4/5 For aesthetes. FOR A POUT WITH CLOUT This summer the on-trend lipstick finish is matte – only trouble is traditional formulas are drying and make lips look thinner. Not so with Sisley Phyto-Rouge Velvet (£49, john which actually plumps up pouts and smooths fine lines. Also try L'Oréal Paris Colour Riche Intense Volume Matte Lipstick (£9.99, a creamy, lower-cost alternative that impressively stays the day. Sisley Phyto-Rouge Velvet £49 Shop L'Oréal Paris Colour Riche Intense Volume Matte Lipstick £9.99 Shop BROW BOOSTER I've been using Obagi Medical Nu-Cil Eyebrow Boosting Serum (£135, for the past three months and it has made my patchy, thinning brows visibly darker – and fuller.

Popular deodorant recall affects over 67,000 cases sold
A popular deodorant brand has issued a recall due to a difference in the established manufacturing procedure. Last week, the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and A.P. Deauville issued a voluntary recall for over 67,000 cases of Power Stick deodorant due to 'cGMP deviations,' which is a difference in the Current Good Manufacturing Practice regulations the FDA oversees. The recall was first prompted last Thursday (July 10) and applies to more than 20,000 cases of the brand's 'power fresh'-scented Power Stick for Her Roll-On Antiperspirant Deodorant, over 22,400 cases of its 'spring fresh'-scented Power Stick Invisible Protection Roll-On Antiperspirant Deodorant, and more than 23,400 cases of the brand's Power Stick Original Nourishing Invisible Protection Roll-On Antiperspirant Deodorant. The deodorant was available for purchase at Walmart, where customers could purchase a pack of three for $21, and at Dollar Tree, where a pack of 24 deodorants was available for $30. Customers were also able to purchase the deodorant from Amazon. The Independent has reached out to A.P. Deauville for comment. The recall was first prompted July 10 (A.P. Deauville) The affected lot numbers for the Power Stick for Her Roll-On Antiperspirant Deodorant were: 032026B011 032226B031 051626C241 061526C882 071226D371 071226D381 082526E341 082826E402 The lot numbers for the affected Power Stick Invisible Protection Roll-On Antiperspirant included: 031726A991 041226B561 062026C901 062026C911 071026D351 071026D361 071326D391 111626G231 For the Power Stick Original Nourishing Invisible Protection Roll-On Antiperspirant Deodorant, the recalled lot numbers included: 101225D781 032926B281 032826B221 041126B531 062226D011 070626D301 070626D333 111026G051 111326G091 111626G221 A.P. Deauville also produces other personal care products such as shampoos, conditioners, lotions, body washes, and facial wipes. None of those products have been affected by the recall. A deodorant recall has affected a popular brand The last two years have seen an alarming and unexplained rise in recalls. In 2024, approximately 300 food recalls were issued, with those recalls being linked to nearly 1,400 illnesses, a Public Interest Research Group report revealed. Out of the 1,400 illnesses, 487 people became sick enough to require hospitalization, and 19 people died. While those numbers are still low when weighed against the entire U.S. population, they are also double the number of hospitalizations and deaths from foodborne illnesses in 2023. The most recent food recall was Danone U.S.'s recall of all of its YoCrunch products currently available on the market on Friday, after customers reported plastic pieces in the dome toppers, which hold various sweet treats such as Oreos or M&M's. Sharp-edged plastic pieces could be a choking hazard or pose other risks. The recall does not apply to the yogurt itself, but only to the yogurt topping container. Many lot numbers and expiration dates are involved in the recall, spanning from July 7 through September 4. The full list of affected products can be found here.

FDA Announces Major Recall of Popular Deodorant
It's important to stay informed about recalls, because doing so truly impacts your life. Of course, the sooner you know about a recall, the better, because you can make sure to get rid of the suspecting item and keep everyone in your family safe. "Recalls are important because they protect the public from products that may cause injury, illness or even death," the Food and Drug Administration notes. Now, a large number of Power Stick deodorants manufactured by A.P. Deauville are being recalled for manufacturing defects, according to the Food and Drug Administration. The recall includes more than 67,000 cases of roll-on deodorants that were sold across the United Stated, according to a notice posted by the agency. The problem with the deodorants revolves around deviations with "current good manufacturing practices," a set of guidelines in the pharmaceutical manufacturing industry. The recalled deodorants include the Power Stick for her roll-on Antiperspirant Deodorant Powder Fresh, 1.8 oz/53 mL; the Power Stick Invisible Protection Roll-On Antiperspirant Deodorant Spring Fresh, 1.8 oz/53 mL; and the Power Stick Original Nourishing Invisible Protection Roll-On Antiperspirant Deodorant, 1.8 oz/ 53 mL. Find specific lot numbers on the FDA's website. A press release has not been issued for the recall as of yet. The status of the recall is ongoing. According to the FDA, "A recall is an action taken by a company to correct or remove from the market an FDA regulated product that violates U.S. laws and regulations." They add that "recalls may be initiated voluntarily by a company, or at the request of the FDA." More than 83,000 FDA regulated products were recalled between the years 2014 and 2024. The FDA adds that "most recalls involve removing violative FDA regulated products from the market, but there are instances where a violation can be corrected without removing the products from distribution."FDA Announces Major Recall of Popular Deodorant first appeared on Men's Journal on Jul 19, 2025 Solve the daily Crossword
