This week, Australian tabloid magazine Woman’s Day shared the secrets to Johanna Griggs‘ recent weight-loss. “Joh’s rules for dropping 5kg FAST!” the headline read. “The beautiful TV star trimmed down with three simple lifestyle changes and you can too.”
But as the former Olympic swimmer herself pointed out via social media, there’s a, erm, slight problem with this article: there was no weight-loss.
Sharing an image of the spread to Instagram, the 44-year-old addressed the tabloid publication: “Let’s count how many random, completely inaccurate things you’ve come up with this week. 1. I’ve lost 5 kilos NOPE. 2. I’ve adopted a healthier food plan NOPE (I always eat healthily) 3. I’ve stopped eating after 8pm. NOPE (I’m often not even home before then) 4. I’ve embraced a ‘Farmhand Workout’ NOPE (What even is that?)”
The House Rules host goes on to debunk a further 10 claims made in the article, including that she sticks to dark-coloured fruits and vegetables and that she has adopted an “unusual weight lifting regimen” that involves carrying hay bales alongside her husband, Todd Huggins.
“If there was an award for Creative Writing – you’d win. Alas, there’s not so I’m suggesting a people’s choice award… something like, ‘The Moronic Award for Made Up Shite’.”

good on her
i can understand getting a fact or 2 wrong, mistakes happen but whole articles that have no truth whatsoever, how can they even publish it
Calling out Bauer instead of promoting them, way to go!!
Please stick with it. As much as I hate the whole "I'm team this, I'm team that" thing, i'm much more "Team Women" than "Team Sell Some Magazines."
