1.MAFS’ Tracey Jewel said she is in a dire financial situation following her break-up.

A week since the Daily Mail reported that she was left “stranded” in Europe, Tracey Jewel has spoken to Woman’s Day about her split with partner Patrick Kedemos.

The Married At First Sight star was on a three week holiday across Europe with Patrick when the pair began to argue. When they eventually split, Tracey was left stranded, and unable to get home because she had “no money”.

“I just wanted to go home, but I was stuck because I had no money,” the 35-year-old told Woman’s Day magazine.

“He put me in a position where I was financially reliant on him and that just led to arguments,” Tracey explained, adding that Patrick had loaned her $20,000 throughout the relationship.

After turning to the German police and the Australian embassy for help, Patrick eventually reportedly sent Tracey more money so she could get home.

“I transferred another $2,000 just to get rid of her,” Perth businessman Patrick told Woman’s Day.

Patrick and Tracey, who have previously dated, began dating again in May this year, three weeks after Tracey split with her MAFS co-star Sean Thomsen.

Before dating Thomsen, Jewel was ‘married’ to Dean Wells on the reality show before ending things with her TV husband in March.

2. We’re only one week into the new season of The Block and two teams are already at war.

The drama has well and truly started on The Block.

We’re only one week in to the new season, but newlyweds Sara and Hayden are already clashing with Kerrie and Spence.

The fighting all started when Kerrie and Spence tried to charge Sara and Hayden for delays in building their bathroom.

The couple also asked Carla and Bianca to pay up, and they refused too.

"I always said I was going to come in and be 100 per cent myself," Sara told New Idea. "I'll probably be perceived as the evil villain, but who gives a crap, really?"

Not only are Sara and Hayden clashing with the other teams, they're also clashing with each other while dealing with the pressure of the reality renovation show.

"There were a couple of times during filming that Hayden threatened to divorce me, but I won't give him the satisfaction," Sara joked.

Nothing better than a little reality TV drama, right?

"I so want to go back to Home and Away," she told Kyle and Jackie O.

It's been just over a month since Australia's favourite Bachelor in Paradise couple Sam Cochrane and Tara Pavlovic announced their split.

The couple got engaged just one month after meeting on the reality dating show, but with Tara admitting their relationship was "toxic", it seems everything wasn't as perfect as it appeared.

Speaking to Woman's Day, Sam has finally shared his side to the story, claiming that Tara was abusive towards him.

The 31-year-old, who moved to Queensland to live with Tara, said that the 28-year-old's "excessive drinking" allegedly led her to bite, punch and kick him.

In hiding until the finale aired, Sam and Tara were forced to hide their relationship from the public as Tara's alleged frequent partying and drinking continued.

"At weekends it was this binging thing and then it would be the put-downs and the verbal attacks," said Sam, who says he was called a 'loser' by Tara in front of friends.
