Heath Ledger's final act of kindness to Perth chef revealed
Head chef Gurps Bagga of Sauma restaurant in Northbridge has rubbed shoulders with many acclaimed cooks and celebrities in his time, but no memories burn as brightly as his encounter with late Perth-born actor Heath Ledger in 2007. The Indian spice master recalled one busy Saturday night at his family's former Fremantle restaurant Maya, which he believes was likely Ledger's final dining experience in Australia before his death in New York in January 2008. 'He rang me. There was a phone call one Saturday, we were really busy, we had no table, and someone just said I was there. And they said, 'Hey, this guy wants to book a table, and he's saying he's Heath Ledger,'' Chef Gurps recalled. Aware the Dark Knight star was in town due to media buzz, and with Ledger's father Kim having dined at Maya previously, the chef made an effort to squeeze him in. Even if it was just a prankster 'taking the mickey', the chef said he felt it was worth giving the actor a couple of hours to show. 'We booked him a table, and yes, it was him. He came with his family, and he came to eat, and he was the loveliest, most polite guy,' he said. Chef Gurps Bagga of Sauma.

'He ordered a lamb rogan Josh, and he ordered a palak paneer. And his dad goes, 'I thought you were having lamb?' And he goes, 'Can't I order two?' the chef recalled. Enjoying their sumptuous meal, the chef told his staff not to approach the star or 'hassle him for anything' as there had been reports of his fragile mental state. However, to the contrary, Chef Gurps said the actor appeared in good spirits surrounded by loved ones. And he appreciated the restaurant's hospitability. 'Before he left, he turned back and he said thank you to all of us, shook all of our hands and he left, which was very nice of him,' the chef added. 'I rang up The Sunday Times. I said, 'He was eating at Maya. He was not sad. He was very happy with his family. He was laughing. We were joking around... And suddenly I started getting calls from all over the world.' Maya closed in 2016 after 26 years in the Bagga family. Pictured is a Goat Curry made by Chef Gurps Bagga.

With family remaining a strong value in his kitchen, the chef continues to serve dishes he would prepare as a child with his father in India, whom he sadly lost several months ago. Describing him as 'my mentor, my guru', Chef Gurps holds a special place in his heart for the family's goat curry recipe which he revealed is largely his father's creation.

‘I've lost trust': Foreman Dan's heated clash with Block contestant days into new season
The Block's foreman Dan has declared he's 'lost trust' with one of this season's contestants, after a tense altercation just days into the competition. Dramas arose during Tuesday's episode of Nine's reno show, with all teams midway through their first room reveals of the season – bathrooms. But there is confusion from Dan and The Block 's site manager when Han, one-half of West Australian couple Han and Can, explains that she'd helped apply a second 'working coat' of waterproofing to their bathroom, before the first coat had even dried. Dan patiently explains that the coat won't be up to code, and that the girls' waterproofer will need to return to site to apply a proper second coat. When Han asks if she can get started before he arrives, Dan is firm: While she can assist if needed, a licensed wateproofer needs to be in control of the job. Cut to five minutes later, and cameras catch Han doing exactly as she was instructed not to – forging ahead with the waterproofing herself. News travels fast on The Block, and soon Dan is back at house two, this time visibly incensed. 'What are you doing? You can't be waterproofing,' he tells her. 'I just asked you, like, five minutes ago: You're not allowed to waterproof. If I give you an instruction, you can't disobey it.' Dan declares he's 'lost trust' in Han for what he sees as a clear attempt to go behind his back: 'You're not a licensed waterproofer; you're not allowed to waterproof. You're allowed to help waterproof, if the waterproofer is in there.' Soon he's on the phone to the site manager to report the infraction. But a tearful Han insists that she didn't mean to disobey Dan's instructions – in her first week on The Block, she says she's feeling overwhelmed and finding it hard to absorb all the new information and building site rules. 'Dan shut me down … told me that I wasn't allowed to touch anything. He thought I was being dodgy … that hit hard,' she says. 'I'm disappointed in myself, because I didn't listen … I'm really trying. I feel like I just got told off by my parents,' a tearful Han says as her partner Can rushes to comfort her.
