Remember her? Vince Colosimo's ex-wife Jane Hall, 54, shows off her incredible figure in a bikini as she enjoys her new career

Australian actress Jane Hall is living her best life after staging a 'luxury escape' from the local media rat race. The former Neighbours star, 54, flaunted her trim pins as she luxuriated during a 'no filming afternoon' in Uluwatu, Bali. Jane, w ho separated from her ex-husband and Underbelly star Vince Colosimo in 2007, stripped down to a black bikini at the Six Senses Retreat Resort. 'No filming this arvo...' she captioned the poolside selfie, with her beach read snuggled into her chest while she took the picture. Jane has been exploring the finer things in life as a regular co-host of Luxury Escapes, alongside Melbourne chef Khanh Ong. 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. Captioning a vibrant video montage of the duo's visit to Bangkok last week, she wrote: 'I am VERY aware of how bloody lucky I am to do this job, year after year. Truly a career highlight. Especially this one! Back to reality now... Love from Jane X.' Jane has previously co-hosted episodes of Luxury Escapes: The World's Best Holidays with fellow Aussie chef Miguel Maestre, but teamed up with MasterChef alum Khanh, 31, on season five of the Foxtel series. 'Lucky to be sharing this experience with him!' she captioned a recent 'appreciation post' for her travel partner, whom she described as a: 'Fashionista. Prankster. Professional (and loads more that is not fit for Insta).' Other high-profile hosts of the envy-inspiring series include Cameron Daddo, Rebecca Gibney, Natalie Bassingthwaighte, Holly Kingston, Neale Whitaker, Sophie Falkiner, and Shane Jolley. The mother-of-one kept her longtime fans up-to-date with her travels from Bali, to Bangkok, and beyond - after making another surprising career change. 'Back at it, guys. Uni means trains and study. If you're wondering where I've disappeared to…' Jane captioned a recent selfie. She has returned to study Midwifery – a career the multi-talented actress put on hold to star in the eighth and final season of Wentworth. Speaking to the Herald Sun in 2019, Jane revealed she had put her layperson ambitions on pause because she 'was a super fan' of the acclaimed Aussie prison drama. 'I had to get this role, I wanted so badly to be in Wentworth,' she said. 'I wrote, "Thank you for this job," on a piece of paper every day until I got it.' Jane, who played Rebecca Robinson for four years on popular soap Neighbours, had just finished placement at the Royal Women's Hospital in Melbourne when she got the call up to play prison General Manager Anne Reynolds in the penultimate season. 'The adrenaline I feel in when I'm in a room when a woman is giving birth is not unlike what we experience when we're truly in the moment performing,' she explained. 'It requires a lot of passion and it's very joyful, just like acting.' Jane didn't step away from the small screen for long, as in 2024 she starred alongside Annette Bening, Sam Neill and Alison Brie in Peacock's Apples Never Fall. She also picked up a huge credit as the voice of Rusty's Mum in popular ABC Kids' series Bluey. Jane began her acting career in 1985 with a guest role in the television series The Henderson Kids. She then starred in Home And Away as Rebecca Nash before joining the cast of comedy series All Together Now playing Anna Sumner alongside Rebecca Gibney. Jane then joined Neighbours in 2007 and remained on the long running soap drama playing Rebecca Napier until the end of 2010. She met her husband Vince Colosimo in 1994 on the set of A Country Practice, but the pair separated in 2007 after 11 years together. Vince is best known for his portrayal of Alphonse Gangitano in the first Underbelly TV series and as Neville Bartos in the movie Chopper.

Kris Smith does not look like this anymore! Former Myer model reveals his wild new appearance during stroll with wife Sarah Boulazeris

Kris Smith looked almost unrecognisable this week when he stepped out with his wife Sarah Boulazeris. The couple, who have been married for nearly three years, were enjoying some quality time in Melbourne with their faithful pooch. The former rugby league star, 46, was just as well known for his modelling talent as he was for his on-field abilities. As a long-serving ambassador for Myer, Kris often flaunted his sartorial style at various events for the department store chain. But Kris was a far cry from the catwalk on Wednesday, going rather casual for the couple's outing. 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. Fans would almost have to do a double-take if they passed him in the street, with Kris now sporting a shock of salt-and-pepper facial hair. His beard was also a tad longer than the Jason Statham-esque 'designer stubble' he was previously known for. Kris rugged up against the inclement Melbourne weather in a dark blue sweatshirt. He also wore a pair of plain white shorts that finished just above the knee, exposing his chiselled and well-toned legs. Kris finished his ensemble with a pair of white joggers and a pair of white Adidas socks that were pulled up to his shin. Sarah, 34, meanwhile, also cut quite a casual and comfortable figure in a light-grey sweatshirt. The former Australia's Next Top Model star also wore a pair of form-fitting, navy blue leggings and a pair of well-worn joggers. She wore her raven locks back for the occasion, tying her hair back in a ponytail. The couple looked happy to be in each other's company on the child-free outing, smiling as Kris dutifully held on to the equally happy pooch's lead. Kris and Sarah began dating in 2017, and became the proud parents of daughter Mila in 2018, before welcoming Frankie the following year. Kris proposed to his long-time partner in December 2020. The pair were celebrating their daughter Frankie's first birthday with a party in their backyard when Kris asked for Sarah for her hand in marriage. At the time, he captioned a gallery of charming photos on Instagram: '2020 wasn't all bad... she said yes.' The pair eventually tied the knot in Melbourne's Yarra Valley in October 2022. Ahead of the wedding, Kris told the Herald Sun the couple's three children would be taking part in the ceremony. 'Ethan is going to be in a beautiful suit and my girls will have their wedding dresses made which will be very similar to their mum's,' he said. He added it would be an emotional event and there was no way he would be able to 'keep a dry eye'. The fact that Kris was the one who proposed may have surprised fans, as earlier this year he'd insisted he would not marry Sarah unless she was the one to propose. He told fans during an Instagram Q&A session: 'I get asked this a lot... When will I marry Sarah? 'When she gets off her a** and proposes! It's 2020 now, she needs to propose, put a ring on it.' Kris also shares a son, Ethan with ex Danni Minogue, who he was in a long-term relationship with from 2008 to 2012. In 2019, the couple decided to move their family to Melbourne from Sydney after residing in the city for years. 'We did it, we uprooted the whole family our whole life's and we moved back to Melbourne,' Kris told his fans at the time. 'It was hard to leave the beautiful Sydney beaches and weather, but Melbourne is now to be our home... Looking forward to this new chapter,' he added. The couple shared a photo of Sarah at the airport with a stack of suitcases as she carried their little girl in a baby carrier on her chest.

Cold-blooded farmer who ran down mother-of-four and left her for dead learns his fate

A man who showed callousness beyond words when he hit and killed his partner with a car has been sentenced to 13 years behind bars. Mother-of-four Jacqui Purton, 37, was trying to leave a property in rural Tasmania on a night in March 2023 when she was struck by a white Holden Commodore driven by James Kenneth Austin. The 40-year-old, who was initially charged with murder, was sentenced on Thursday to 13 years' jail after pleading guilty to the lesser charge of manslaughter. He will be eligible for parole after serving eight years. Ms Purton was walking down the property's 500m gravel driveway after an argument with Austin, who drove after her. She was struck by the car, which was travelling at 20-30km/h, and dragged underneath, dying rapidly from significant injuries including a broken pelvis. In sentencing in the Supreme Court of Tasmania, Justice Michael Brett said Austin then went back to the house 'leaving her to die'. He returned to the car and put Ms Purton on the back seat before driving back to the house and getting his dad to drive the car down to the road to meet an ambulance. Ms Purton had tried to call police earlier in the evening but couldn't get through because of poor reception in the area. When police called the house soon after the incident, Austin tried to divert them by saying Ms Purton was not there and had gotten a ride home. 'Your actions were cold-blooded, callous and selfish to an extent which is difficult to describe in words,' Justice Brett said. Austin had previously threatened to kill Ms Purton and was controlling and violent in their 'on-and-off-again' relationship spanning four years. There was a family violence order aimed at preventing him from assaulting or abusing her. Austin had previously driven a car at Ms Purton when she tried to leave the property, but she had always managed to jump out of the way. Justice Brett said Austin, whose sentence has been backdated to 2023 when he was taken into custody, did not intend to hit her on the night in question but wanted to frighten her. '(But) she did not (jump out of the way) or could not do so. You did not brake despite seeing her in front of you,' Justice Brett said. Ms Purton has been remembered as a fun, bold and kind free spirit who was dedicated to her children and immediate family. Outside court, Ms Purton's mother Leanne Walford and daughter Shakira Robertson pledged to continue to fight for reform to prevent domestic violence. They said harsher penalties were needed for incidents involving cars being driven by people's current or former partners. Ms Walford said the full extent of domestic violence experienced by her daughter hadn't been revealed in court. 'She was more than a case file. Laws must be tougher because our numbers are going to keep going up,' she said. Justice Brett said Ms Purton's death was a very serious example of manslaughter, family violence and breach of an order.
