Tammy Hembrow hints at 'going to therapy' following split from Matt Zukowski
Tammy Hembrow has been mending her broken heart by holidaying in New Zealand with her children following her split from Matt Zukowski. And on Wednesday, the fitness influencer, 31, revealed one of the highlights of her trip. Tammy posted a video to social media after swinging on the world's largest swing in between the mountains. She described the experience as 'therapy' after also bungy jumping in Queenstown. Many followers flocked to the comments to praise the brave mother-of-three for conquering the thrilling adventure. 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. 'Love a queen who is healing and livin!' one person wrote. 'Girl you nearly gave me a cardiac arrest lol so happy to see you doing you as you should,' a second commented. 'I hope any sad feelings you have, have dropped as fast as you did here,' another said. It comes after Tammy revealed her heart is still 'aching' following her split from husband Matt as she mends her wounds in New Zealand. Tammy fled Australia with her three children - Wolf, nine, Saskia, seven, and Posy, three - after news broke of their separation. Earlier on Tuesday, she shared a gallery of images which revealed her post-breakup weight loss as she stays at the idyllic Lake Hayes Cottages in Queenstown. 'The most beautiful stay at @qtcottages,' she wrote in her caption as she posed in front of a private hot tub in her $995-per-night lakeside cottage. 'A blissful escape in the most stunning setting. Not without moments that ache... but healing is never linear and I'm so grateful to be here with my babiesss.' Tammy has spent much of the last week documenting her stay in New Zealand following her split from former Love Island star Matt. On Monday, she shared some photos from her trip to Queenstown and revealed visiting the area would become a new family tradition. 'Something so cosy and comforting about this place,' she wrote in her caption on Instagram. 'I think we're going to have to make this a yearly tradition. The start of something new.' Matt and Tammy are now headed for divorce after just seven months of marriage, with the influencer jetting off to the South Island to recuperate in the wake of their split. Tammy announced her shock split from Matt last month in an emotional video. The former reality star also revealed the couple's separation in a sombre Instagram Story, telling fans the decision was not taken lightly. 'It's with a heavy heart I share that Tammy and I have decided to separate,' Matt began. 'Both of us have struggled with making this decision; however we need to do what is right for ourselves and her three children. 'This wasn't a decision we took lightly. Our time together will always be cherished and never forgotten,' he added, before thanking fans for their support. Despite their short-lived marriage, both parties have asked for privacy as they adjust to life post-breakup. 'We appreciate everyone's support and space at this time as we navigate the split,' Matt concluded in his emotional post.

Danny Dyer leaves newly married daughter Dani aghast as he makes X-rated sex confession while reminiscing about his honeymoon
Danny Dyer horrified newly married eldest daughter Dani on Tuesday while reminiscing about his sex-fuelled honeymoon in central Italy. Dyer and long-term partner Joanne Mas exchanged vows in 2016, some 24-years after they first met, before spending their honeymoon in picturesque Tuscany. But the former EastEnders star shared more than was strictly necessary about the romantic getaway while joining Dani for the latest instalment of their Live And Let Dyers podcast. Dyer, 47, reminisced after Dani - who married West Ham United and England footballer Jarrod Bowen in May, admitted her own honeymoon had been ruined by bad weather. 'The weather was terrible, it rained for three days,' she said. 'But we were very lucky, because it always stopped raining when we went for lunch and for dinners and stuff. 'We just could never sunbathe, and there's not really much to do there, so, we just binged the whole series of MobLand. 'We ate and I'd just drink champagne and have loads of baths!' Chipping in with recollections of his honeymoon break to Italy, Danny said: 'To be fair, you shouldn't really be getting out of bed a lot in your honeymoon, because me and your mother ended up in Florence, and you know, we was appalling!' 'I mean, honestly, I look back on it and I think, 'f***ing hell! How on earth did I manage to get in those sorts of positions!' After a mortified Dani branding him 'disgusting,' he added: 'What do you mean disgusting? There was two people sharing their love. Them days are long gone now!' The 28-year old former Love island winner had previously branded her new husband and his friends 'd***s' for taking PlayStations to their lavish wedding. Dani married the West Ham United captain in an outdoor ceremony at the £500-a-night Langley Hotel in Iver, Buckinghamshire, on May 31. She recalled: 'He said he ain't staying with me the night before, he went, "No, I don't want to stay with you". [sic] 'They were all taking, him and their mates, their PlayStations to the hotel. I was like, "You're all a bunch of d***s. Why are you all excited over playing PlayStation when you're going to be a husband?" Back in 2000, Dyer's wild behaviour culminated in Jo catching him cheating on her, causing her to kick him out and clear their bank account (pictured 2006) 'He went, "Yeah, that don't change nothing, I'm still playing".' Dani - a parent to twins Summer and Star with Bowen and four-year-old son Santiago with former partner Sammy Kimmence - later admitted his attachment to the PlayStation would continue well after their honeymoon was over. She added: 'Then he said to me, "What are we doing on the Sunday after the wedding?" 'I said, "I don't know, we'll probably just be hanging, like, we'll come home". He went, "Oh, no, I just didn't know if I could play football champs on the Sunday".' 'I went, "Yeah play football champs, that's fine Jarrod, absolutely."' Live And Let Dyers is available to listen to now on Global Player, or wherever you get your podcasts.
