1. ‘It brought back insecurities.’ MAFS‘ Vanessa responds to Michael’s rude comment about her acne.

Married At First Sight bride Vanessa Romito, has responded to Michael Goonan’s rude Instagram comment about her acne.

But Vanessa says she isn’t letting Michael’s “insensitive remarks” get to her.

“What type of human would post a comment like that knowing what I have been through? How could someone be so arrogant. It really shows the character of the person,” she told Get Real Entertainment.

“He obviously didn’t think about the repercussions. I have had to deal with these sorts of insensitive remarks since I was 11 years old. You have no idea how difficult that has been.”

The 31-year-old says she wants to remind Michael just how hurtful words can be.

“I just want to tell Goonan that not everything is a joke and words actually matter and they hurt. If you can’t show respect to someone who’s been through what I have in my life you are no better than just a bully.”

It’s an important message everyone should keep in mind.

Married At First Sight returns at 7:00pm Sunday on Channel Nine.

Listen to The Spill, Mamamia’s daily entertainment podcast. In today’s episode, co-hosts Kee Reece and Laura Brodnik discuss Bindi Irwin’s wedding. Post continues below.

3. Bachelor in Paradise has been delayed due to COVID-19 and we are unreasonably upset about this.

Sad news Bachie fans, the premiere of Bachelor in Paradise has been pushed back.

The new season of Bachelor in Paradise was set to air on Channel 10 after the Survivor: All Stars finale, and before MasterChef‘s premiere on April 13th, but has been moved to accommodate two weeks of coronavirus specials.

In a statement to TV Tonight, a Network 10 spokesperson said: “Do not panic. You will still get to see your favourite bachelorettes and bachelors when they return to paradise for romance, scandal, betrayal and – for three couples – true love. Bachelor in Paradise has wrapped production and will air in the coming months.”

In a follow-up question, someone asked: “Have you made it official yet with your lady friend?”

David then clarified: “I don’t know, I don’t think we have, I don’t think you really need to.

“You either like someone or you don’t. Just don’t go f*cking other people if you like someone.”

Well… all the best to David!

5. “I married my best friend.” Everything we know about Bindi Irwin’s intimate, last-minute wedding.

Bindi Irwin and her fiancé, Chandler Powell, got married just hours before new social-distancing restrictions banning weddings attended by more than five people came into play.

“We held a small ceremony and I married my best friend. There are no words to describe the amount of love and light in my heart right now,” the 21-year-old wrote on Instagram, alongside a photo with her groom.

The couple, who met at Queensland’s Australia Zoo, tied the knot there, where she and her family live.

Bindi said she and Chandler had been forced to “change everything” after nearly a year of planning, as the COVID-19 pandemic led to restrictions on weddings to help stop the spread.

“We’ve planned this beautiful day for nearly a year and had to change everything, as we didn’t have guests at our wedding. This was a very difficult decision but important to keep everyone safe,” she said.

“We wish all of our friends and family could have been there with us, however it’s lovely that we will be able to share photos and videos.”

Bindi’s mother Terri Irwin and brother Robert Irwin were present, with Robert walking his sister down the aisle. There was a tribute to Bindi’s father, Steve Irwin, who was killed in 2006 when a stingray barb pierced his heart, when Bindi was just eight.
