Sweaty Betty, which until now was only available Down Under via international shipping, has launched a dedicated Australian online store.

Now, Aussie customers are wasting no time snapping up their favourites.
The launch includes the cult Power Workout Leggings ($139) - so popular that one pair sells every minute globally - as well as redesigned Medium Stamina Workout Bras ($79), running shorts, layering pieces and 'after class' sweatshirts.
Shoppers will be pleased to discover inclusive sizing with buys available in sizes XXS to XXL.
Fans say it's not just about performance - it's the way the brand makes them feel.
'I've never found better leggings. They're unbelievably flattering and comfortable,' one shopper said.

Another agreed, adding: 'Everything stays like new, despite all the washing. The quality is incredible - I never have to worry about wear or tear.'
One long-time fan said the durability is unmatched: 'I have a running top from Sweaty Betty that I've had for about 12 years. It's still my favourite to run in.'
Others say the brand boosts their confidence every time they put it on.
'The gym vests and sports bras are fantastic,' one woman wrote.
'The 'after class' sweatshirts are so comfortable, and the leggings fit like a dream. I feel good the second I put them on.'
Some customers have even found the swimwear to be just as impressive, claiming they still look 'good as new' after years of wear and chlorine exposure.
For many, the verdict is simple: the investment is worth it.
'It's great value for money considering how long the pieces last,' one shopper said.

Lindsay Lohan shows off her line-free visage and trim pins in daring sheer frock alongside Jamie Lee Curtis at Freakier Friday premiere in Sydney
Lindsay Lohan arrived Down Under on Monday for the Sydney premiere of her new movie, Freakier Friday. And on Tuesday night, the American actress, 39, was looking fresh-faced and line-free as she stepped onto the red carpet alongside her co-star, Jamie Lee Curtis. Opting for a racy black evening gown with sheer skirting, Lindsay flashed her trim pins through the see-through fabric. She carried a $2,235 AUD gold Fortune Minaudiere bag in an unusual fortune cookie shape. For makeup, Lindsay chose a porcelain base with rosy blush and a soft pink lipstick, while wearing her blonde locks down in soft waves. The star finished her ensemble with a delicate diamond necklace and matching, dangling earrings. Jamie, 66, was also looking much younger than her 66 years as she posed beside Lindsay against the media wall. The veteran actress stunned in a semi-sheer maxi dress that skimmed her impressive figure. She added a pair of nude, suede heels and kept her accessories light, wearing a pair of glistening baguette earrings. For makeup, Jamie went for a clean look with lots of highlighter and a pink lip gloss, while wearing her trademark pixie haircut softly spiked. In 2003, Jamie Lee and Lindsay starred in the smash hit comedy, Freaky Friday. which sees the two characters switch bodies, with hilarity ensuing. Fans had long hoped for a sequel to the iconic comedy but had an agonising wait, as Freakier Friday is only now hitting cinemas - over two decades on from the original. Jamie Lee has revealed why there was such a long gap between the two releases as she admitted she has long had her eye on a follow-up movie. Appearing on The One Show, Jamie revealed they had to wait until Lindsay was old enough to have a teenage child for the sequel premise to work. For makeup, Lindsay chose a porcelain base with rosy blush and a soft pink lipstick 'The truth is that Lindsay had to be old enough to have a 15-year-old daughter, people would ask me about the movie over and over again,' she shared. 'And finally someone in Australia said, "well she is" and I was like "what do you mean?" because I know her as this young girl, so I don't know how old she is. 'Someone told me and I was, like, "Oh! Well maybe we can make the movie. Let's go!"' Lindsay was just 15 years old when she first portrayed Anna Coleman in Freaky Friday alongside Jamie Lee, who played her on-screen mother Tess Coleman. It follows the bickering mother and daughter after a Chinese restaurant fortune cookie mishap causes them to switch bodies, forcing them to live the other's life. Despite barely having been able to see eye-to-eye, the magical switch eventually allows them to see things from the other's point of view. The sequel will see the iconic pairing switch places once again, though this time there is quadruple chaos in store. Also turning heads at the premiere on Tuesday night was fitness influencer Tammy Hembrow who showed off her surgically-enhanced figure in a flowing white gown. Former reality star Bella Varelis chose a fun and flirty retro ensemble including a sheer, feathered top and boot-cut trousers. American actress Ione Skye stunned in a red mini dress as she made it a date night with her Aussie musician husband Ben Lee. Love Island Australia star Rachael Evren opted for all black, pairing her coat and mini skirt with black tights, over which she wore white socks and matching heels. Actor Ash Hodgkinson stood out from the pack in a blue ensemble consisting of a frayed, double denim. Freakier Friday hits Australian cinemas on August 7.

I ditched the UK for Australia & I'd never return – I work less hours for more money & see dolphins on my morning walk
A MAN has revealed that he will likely never return to the UK, after upping sticks and moving to Australia. In February, Lewy and his partner made the bold decision to relocate to Adelaide, after becoming sick of the " miserable weather and negative people". 2 2 The couple describe themselves as "normal people" without much money, said they were able to move to a "stunning" neighbourhood, that "wasn't expensive". Lewy said that it had been their dream for 10 years to live in Aus, and added that his and his partner's life has greatly improved since ditching the British Isles. "It's highly likely that we will never live in the UK again because it cannot offer us the life we've got now", he said in a video posted to his TiKTok channel @lewyp23. Lewy revealed that he is no longer "overworked" and "stressed" and is paid more for his job in Australia than he was in the UK. He added that the cost of living in Adelaide is much cheaper than it was for him back home, and that the people seem so much happier and fulfilled. The TikToker claims that he would have to earn a whopping £150,000 a year to have the same quality of life in the UK as he does in Adelaide on his "average" wage, and added that he wouldn't even move back to the UK if someone gave him £50,000. Lewy now lives just three minutes walks from the beach, and as soon as they finish work, he and his partner take their dog out for sunny seaside walks. He has even spotted pods of dolphins during his beach walks, which he said always leave him in "disbelief". Even in winter, the weather in Adelaide is warm and sunny, meaning that Lewy and his partner can have year round fun, without spending a penny. "You don't realise how much the weather affects you until you move to a nice place", he said. I fled the UK for sunny Dubai - life back home is miserable & no-one has any cash "We're happier, it's just fantastic." Another thing that Lewy loves about his life in Adelaide is the lack of crime. "It's safer her in Australia, you see a lot less nastiness." He added that he and his partner now do lots more on the weekends, and are able to be so much more social, as they are no longer stressed. How easy is it to move abroad? Brexit means British citizens now have to apply for visas to move to countries within the EU. While some countries residency restrictions are easier than others, here's what you need to do at home before moving: Notify HMRC about your upcoming move. Let your local authority know and provide a forwarding address. Contact your mortgage and utility providers and bank before leaving. If you have paid enough UK national insurance contributions, you can qualify for a state pension abroad - contact the International Pension Centre. You can sign up to the Royal Mail's redirection service. If you have outstanding student loans, contact the Student Loans Centre. If you have children, give due notice to childcares and schools. He described the supermarkets, which are packed full of fresh fruit and veg as being "incredible" and said that older people look much more youthful and full of life. Lewy is urging others to follow in his footsteps and ditch the "miserable" UK. He said that anyone under 35 can easily get a working holiday visa, and added that the country is especially looking for tradesmen. He said: "Why are you waiting to get out of that horrible place when you've got this waiting for you? "The people are really lovely and you've got a life waiting for you with way less stress." "You get one go at life, you have to take risks"

Shelly Craft risks igniting feud with longtime Block co-host Scott Cam as she supports his bitter rival
The Block's Shelley Craft is keeping quiet on the rift between her TV co-host Scott Cam and Adrian 'Mr Lambo' Portelli. The controversial LMCT+ billionaire has attacked Channel Nine, accusing them of undervaluing his contribution after the big spender dropped a whopping $12 million at last year's Block auctions. He's also slammed Scott Cam online, branding him a 'clown' in a scathing outburst, while readying to launch a rival renovation show My Reno Rules on Seven. And in a surprising twist, Shelley has opted to ignore Portelli's spat with Scott, instead congratulating the entrepreneur on his new career move. In an interview with Woman's Day on Tuesday, the 49-year-old renovation guru wished Portelli luck. She added, 'I was wondering, if he was leaving us behind, where was he going to publicise his next venture? 'So when I saw him pop up with that, I was like, 'Oh, there you go, that's great."' Shelley continued: 'Obviously, his business has an incredible model of lotteries for different things… The way he's going about this, good luck to them.' Elsewhere in the chat, Craft appeared to make a vague reference to the feud. 'I guess I was trained from a very early age… that when you do say something, it will be judged,' she said. She also commented on her long-term friendship with Scott. 'He's a superstar and a delightful man and just good fun,' she said. It comes after the controversial LMCT+ billionaire, known as 'Mr Lambo', lashed out at Channel Nine, accusing them of undervaluing his contribution to the franchise. Sources close to the production claim tensions were 'brewing the moment the cameras stopped rolling' on the 2024 Phillip Island season. Despite spending millions on the Block auctions, insiders say Adrian felt 'dismissed' by producers and host Scott Cam, and he didn't keep his fury a secret. 'He gave them the biggest TV moment of the season and barely got a thank you,' one insider told Daily Mail Australia. The situation exploded after Adrian appeared on Nova's Jase & Lauren, slamming the show as 'staged' and fuelling conspiracy theories about why The Block was mysteriously removed from Sportsbet odds before the finale. And just last week, Adrian upped the ante again, branding beloved host Scott a 'clown' in a scathing online outburst. Friends of the long-time presenter say he was blindsided by the personal attack. 'Scott genuinely thought they were on good terms,' a close source said. 'Scotty Cam is renowned for being friendly on camera but keeps to himself off set. It's rubbed some people the wrong way over the years.' Now, in a major twist, Adrian is jumping ship and is teaming up with rival network Channel Seven to launch his very own renovation show. The series will be hosted by none other than Dr Chris Brown, but the bold move has already raised eyebrows. 'Let's call it what it is. It's a revenge show,' a former contestant laughed. 'He wants to prove he can do The Block better than The Block.' Despite Channel Seven's excitement over Adrian's deep pockets, sources say his involvement has already triggered a PR crisis. 'Chris Brown's team is seriously nervous,' a senior network figure revealed. 'He's a squeaky-clean brand and doesn't want to get dragged into a public feud. There is also that fear that if Adrian can turn so quickly on Scotty, he could easily do the same with Dr Chris Brown.' Channel Seven production is still, however, moving ahead at full throttle, but with The Block back on air and Adrian noticeably missing from the auction line-up, industry insiders are watching closely to see if his absence tanks the record-breaking results of previous seasons.
