When one isn't enough! Brittany Hockley shows off her stack of wedding rings as she returns to Australia with new husband Benjamin Siegrist after Bali nuptials
Brittany Hockley and her newly minted husband Benjamin Siegrist have returned to Sydney after tying in knot in Bali.
While her wedding may be over, Brittany won't forget in a hurry, with the former Bachelor star's finger festooned with an array of rings.
The brunette was spotted showing off her bling as the couple strolled hand-in-hand through the streets of Bondi on Tuesday.
She wore the stunning diamond sparkler Benjamin, 33, got down on bended knee with when he popped the question in June last year.
She also sported two wedding rings created for her big day - a plain 18k gold band and another gold band encrusted with brilliant white diamonds.

Meanwhile Benjamin, also went for the 'bling' approach for his wedding band, with the goalkeeper now wearing a 14k yellow gold band with infinity pavé diamonds.
All three wedding rings were created by Brittany's best friend and Life Uncut podcast co-host Laura Byrne's jewellery line, ToniMay.
Brittany cut a casual figure in a puffy sleeveless jacket that she wore over a white long-sleeve zip-up top.
She matched this with a pair of form-fitting navy blue leggings which she had tucked into a pair of white socks.
Accessorising with a pair of almond-shaped sunglasses, Brittany finished her ensemble with a pair of white sneakers.
Husband Benjamin cut an equally casual figure, putting on a leggy display in a pair of navy blue shorts.
He also wore a Lorna Jane zip-up jacket that featured a trio of blue strips running along the shoulders and sleeves.
He finished his look with a navy blue Atlanta braves baseball cap.
Benjamin was also in charge of Brittany's faithful pooch Delilah for the outing.
After picking up some bakery items, the couple were seen happily chatting as they enjoyed the start of their new life together.
Brittany and Ben wed in a romantic ceremony in Bali on Wednesday last week.
The wedding took place at Pandawa Cliff Estate, which promises a 'dramatic and romantic clifftop setting overlooking the Indian Ocean' and stunning views of Bali's Bukit Peninsula.
Brittany was ever the blushing bride on her big day, walking down the aisle in a strapless dress by Steven Khalil which featured a lace corset with dramatic long train.
The couple gave followers a glimpse into the nuptials, sharing a duo of loved-up snaps from the big day to Instagram.
One showed Ben romantically embracing his new bride as he leaned in for a newlywed kiss.
The second showed the happy couple beaming as they held hands and hugged each other close.
'From the very first day, it was you,' Brittany captioned the images.
'Across any ocean, it is you. For the rest of our lives, it will always be you. Mr and Mrs Siegrist 4.6.2025,' she added, augmenting the sentiment with love heart emojis.
Brittany and her beau appeared on her podcast Life Uncut in June last year to discuss details about her stunning giant diamond ring.
Ben revealed he had the ring sourced and made in Dubai and it features a hidden halo under the diamond in a pavé setting.
He also explained the diamond is lab-grown, which is more cost-effective and ethically sourced compared to natural diamonds.
'Whenever Ben and I had spoken about [engagement], I had said the two things I want: I want yellow gold. And the other thing, I always wanted a lab-grown diamond,' Brittany said.
Ben didn't really know about it then, but he was like, "Don't you want a real diamond?" And I said, "It's identical. It's exactly the same, except ethically-sourced".'
The cost of a lab grown diamond is around 40 to 50 per cent less than an earth-mined diamond, though it is still a real diamond.

MasterChef judging panel set for major shakeup - amid rumours fan favourite won't be returning to series
MasterChef Australia will look very different next year. Fan favourite Andy Allen's future on the cooking competition is up in the air amid reports that producers are preparing to rejig the judging panel with an all-female line-up. According to Woman's Day, a major shake-up is underway and things aren't looking too good for Andy. 'There's no official announcement until the current season wraps but everyone at MasterChef knows cost-cutting is in full swing,' says the source. 'Four judges may no longer be financially viable - especially as other major shows like I'm A Celeb are taking budget hits too.' 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. Andy is said to be 'preparing for a career pivot', confiding in friends that he's incredibly grateful for his time on the show - but he knows the end might be near. 'Andy is a smart guy and he will have more opportunities. He's also been wary about Melissa Leong making a return,' the source adds. 'If they can mend their differences and she comes back, it's likely she won't be working with Andy.' It comes just weeks after Poh confirmed that she will be returning to the series next year, despite reports that she was going to be replaced by Julie Goodwin. Daily Mail Australia can reveal the 51-year-old has signed on to return for the 2026 season, putting an end to recent speculation that she was preparing to bow out. A spokesperson for the popular chef flatly denied the claims, revealing: 'There's no truth to the speculation. Poh is loving her time on MasterChef and feels like she's found her place.' It follows a report by New Idea earlier this week suggesting Poh was considering leaving the series, prompting executives to quietly begin scouting a new judge to join Andy Allen, Sofia Levin and Jean-Christophe Novelli at the judging table. Among the names floated as a potential replacement? None other than fan favourite Julie Goodwin - the very contestant who beat Poh to win the first season of MasterChef back in 2009. 'Julie would be a fantastic judge. Fans love her,' a source told the magazine. 'While no one wants to see Poh leave, everyone would welcome Julie back with open arms.' Julie, 54, made a triumphant return to the franchise in 2022 and delighted fans when she appeared as a guest judge last year. Insiders told the magazine she 'absolutely loved' the experience and would be open to returning in a more permanent capacity if the opportunity arose. Poh, meanwhile, joined the judging panel in 2022 following the shock death of Jock Zonfrillo and the departure of Melissa Leong. While she's embraced the role, the artist-turned-chef has admitted the transition hasn't always been seamless. Speaking on the From The Newsroom podcast earlier this year, Poh revealed she often finds herself mentally back in the contestant's apron. 'I constantly run through the challenges that I have just delivered and think about what I would do in that situation,' she said. 'That's how much I miss and love it.'

EXCLUSIVE Footy legend Billy Slater looks fit enough to play as he takes a freezing dip at Queensland's State of Origin camp
NRL legend Billy Slater has proven he's still in excellent physical condition after being spotted going for an early morning swim on the Sunshine Coast. The 42-year-old Maroons coach is currently at Queensland 's State of Origin camp as the side prepares for the game three decider in Sydney on July 9. Slater, who retired in 2018, was photographed braving a 7am dip at Twin Waters Beach in windy and cold conditions on Tuesday morning - and showcased a physique that rivaled his playing days. The former footy star was the only person swimming, but took a moment to chat to surfers who stopped to wish the Maroons well next week. When asked where the rest of the squad was, Slater fired back: 'Probably asleep'. Despite retiring from rugby league seven years ago, the dad of two says he's made it a priority to stay in top shape. 'When I was playing my routine was structured so I had to adapt to a different way and find new ways to stay fit and healthy,' he told Men's Health magazine. 'Fitness and exercise was something I had to add into my day rather than it being my main focus. Since retiring, I've had more time to be active and have fun with my family, and have made it a priority to keep living a healthy lifestyle. 'Playing sport with my kids, riding horses and outdoor activities make up the majority of my exercise.' Slater says he never tries to make his exercise feel like a chore, but rather make it part of his lifestyle. 'Occasionally I work in a bit of structured training which I prefer to do first thing in the morning,' he said. 'There's something about exercising in the morning that puts you in a good frame of mind for the rest of the day.' The Melbourne Storm great says that he's tried to continue a similar diet to what he had when he was playing. 'Breakfast would consist of avocado and eggs on toast. Lunch is usually a salad and ham sandwich followed by a banana,' Slater said. 'For dinner, I'll usually have a steak or chicken, roast pumpkin and sweet potatoes with some greens. I'm always a sucker for dessert, either ice cream or Tim Tams.' Slater and his fellow selectors dropped a bomb on NSW earlier in the week by naming Brisbane journeyman Gehamat Shibasaki at centre for his Origin debut and recalling Canberra prop Josh Papalii for one final Origin showdown in Sydney next week. The switch of Dolphins talisman Hamiso Tabuai-Fidow from wing to his club position of fullback comes as no surprise. His four tries in the latest masterclass showing against South Sydney revealed why the man known as 'Hammer' was the right choice, edging out Brisbane's Reece Walsh who has been recalled as 18th man. Earlier in the series, Slater had a war of words with NSW player turned radio star Aaron Woods, who branded Slater a 'grub'. Slater hit back at Woods by making ahead of State of Origin II.

Aussie singer makes shock call-out for freebies to furnish her new home as she returns Down Under
Australian singer Amy Sheppard has made a surprising grab for free household items and appliances as she prepares to move into a new apartment in Brisbane. The Sheppard lead singer, 34, moved to Nashville in the US in 2023 with her bandmates and siblings George and Emma. Now it seems she is making a return home, as her talent management team put a call-out to 'homewares, appliance and furniture brands' for a 'collaboration'. 'Amy Sheppard is moving into a new apartment! Amy is the lead singer for 10x Platinum band Sheppard,' the call-out on an industry site read. 'She is planning a house move to a new apartment in Brisbane and is looking to collaborate with homewares, appliance and furniture brands, either paid or contra.' 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. A contra brand deal is an unpaid collaboration that involves a brand providing a free gift or service to an influencer in exchange for an authentic online review. The call-out went on to say, 'Amy has 90K followers on Instagram and 13K on TikTok', indicating her wide online reach and engagement. Daily Mail Australia has reached out to Amy's representatives for further comment. The singer, who is currently married to her long-time partner Lachlan Stuart, made a big move to the US with her siblings almost two years ago. Amy, George and Emma of the Aussie band Sheppard, known best for their 2014 hit single Geronimo, jetted off to Nashville in 2023 in search of fame. The band was eager to embrace their largest fan base, which is in the US after their 2021 album Kaleidoscope Eyes failed to attract a large audience Down Under. At the time, Amy revealed the trio were all living in one-room apartments next to each other following the international move. 'The exchange rate is difficult so we're just doing the best we can, saving as much money as we can ahead of touring next year,' Amy told The Courier Mail. 'It might have been cheaper to get a house, but it's nice to have our own space,' she continued. 'And also it snows in Nashville in winter, so we didn't we want to have to shovel any driveways.' Amy also expressed excitement over the opportunity to brush shoulders with some of the world's biggest country stars. However, it would seem Amy is now making the trip back home after Sheppard was forced to cancel their latest US tour due to 'high touring costs'. The band shared a sad statement to social media in May, confirming the scheduled concerts would not be going ahead due to the challenging reality of touring. 'To our beautiful fans, I'm afraid we have some rather upsetting news. We've had to make the incredibly difficult decision to cancel our upcoming US tour,' they began. The Geronimo hitmakers had been performing across Europe earlier this year and were set to bring their shows to the States in June. They revealed a combination of high touring costs and challenging concert logistics meant it was no longer feasible for them to perform in America. They reassured those who had already bought a ticket that they would be refunded. 'A combination of sky-high touring costs, ambitious production standards so that we can give you the show you deserve and complex logistics have made this tour impossible,' they wrote. 'We're heartbroken. Being on stage in front of our fans - watching you not just sing but feel every word in our words - is always the greatest experience of our lives. 'Please know this isn't the end. It's just a pause. We're taking time to reset, to rebuild a more sustainable path forward.' It was a stark change from their decision to go ahead with a show in Poland after selling only 59 tickets to the show. The Brisbane-based band were performing across Europe and had a scheduled performance in Warsaw on April 12 which sold below expectations. However, the band decided the show must go on and played their hearts out to a small yet passionate crowd. They later shared a clip to social media revealing why they made the decision to continue with the performance. '59 people showed up to our show in Poland. We knew we had only sold minimal tickets but also knew the people that would show up would be our biggest fans,' they began. 'We knew that no matter what we had to show up for them. So we got on stage and gave it 100 per cent.' Sheppard formed in 2009 and the current line-up comprises siblings Amy, Emma and George Sheppard and Jon Butterworth.
