Strange footage of 'bald' Beauty and the Geek star emerges from a month before she was accused of killing and beheading her boyfriend
A Beauty and the Geek star charged with the murder of her boyfriend was seen by Port Lincoln locals with her head shaved and acting oddly in the weeks beforehand. Police are still searching for the missing head of local man, Julian Story, after Tamika Chesser allegedly killed him, decapitated him, carried his head in a bag to an unknown location and dumped it. Police and SES are desperately searching cliffs and bush in Port Lincoln and the waters off the Eyre Peninsula as Mr Story's family are subjected to an agonised wait to bury their loved one. Two residents in the famous South Australian fishing port told Daily Mail Australia that Ms Chesser only arrived in town a few months ago and they only remembered her as having a shaved head. The 34-year-old, who finished second in the second series of Beauty and the Geek in 2010, visited KMart and other shops in central Port Lincoln, usually accompanied by a small dog. One shop worker said Ms Chesser 'acted normal, but she was, like, bald', however, the reality TV star has since been caught on CCTV or filmed by locals acting strangely. In one video, obtained by Channel 7, she is shown at a Port Lincoln hotel wearing a long dark wig and a hat, which she then ripped off as she yelled. In another video she is also sporting a shaved head while doing gymnastics on bars outside a coffee shop, and in a third she is standing bare-chested at the Port Lincoln War Memorial. Julian Story, 38, whose family still live in Port Lincoln, was living in a dingy rented flat along the town's Flinders Highway reportedly on his own until Ms Chesser moved in with him a few months ago. She appears to have been living in Port Lincoln since at least last December. Earlier this year, Mr Story was charged with two counts of dishonestly take property without consent, and last year was charged with two counts of disorderly behaviour. He also has historical charges of damage building or motor vehicle and driving charges including drive motor vehicle with cannabis in blood. It is unclear how Mr Story met the former cocktail waitress, whose full name is Tamika Sueann Rose Chesser, but it is believed she moved to South Australia from Queensland. Police allege that Mr Story was murdered on about June 17, but it was not until June 19 that neighbours of the unit she shared with him were alerted to a fire coming from within. Justin Ware said when he expressed concern at the smoke billowing out of the next door unit, that Ms Chesser 'reckoned everything was okay'. He went inside anyway and threw some water on what he thought was a pile of smouldering rags, but was allegedly Mr Story's headless remains. When emergency services responded, they found Mr Story dismembered and missing his head on the bathroom floor of the apartment, according to police. Police later obtained and released CCTV images and video which showed Ms Chesser walking three dogs and carrying a bag while apparently wearing a Hijab-style head covering. A neighbour expressed concern at the smoke billowing out of the next door unit and he he went inside and threw some water on what he thought was a pile of smouldering rags, but was allegedly Mr Story's headless remains Police charged her with murder and, after being released from Port Lincoln hospital, she was admitted to James Nash House, a forensic mental health care facility. Detective Darren Fielke told a press conference it was 'crucial' Mr Story's head was returned to his family so they could hold a funeral. In an effort to find Mr Story's head, officers are appealing to the public for help in tracking Chesser's movements in the week of the alleged murder, particularly between midnight on Tuesday night (June 17) and around the report of the fire at 3.30pm on Thursday afternoon (June 19). 'We know that Tamika did not drive a vehicle and regularly walked around the township of Port Lincoln,' Det Fielke said. Tamika's sister, Kiya-May Chesser, told Daily Mail Australia about the final phone call Tamika made before she was charged with murder. Kiya-May said her family were reeling from reports their loved one had been charged. 'Please report how my sister is in a mental psychosis,' she said, 'this is not her... She would never do these things.' In Tamika's last phone call to her sister, a week before the alleged murder, she was worried about one of her dogs because it had 'pooed on the floor'. Mr Story, who was 'not in a good mind space himself' had on earlier phone calls been 'going off in the background' when the Chesser family spoke with Tamika. 'There is more to this story,' Kiya-May said. She said 'a lot has happened' in Chesser's life since she appeared on Beauty and the Geek and 'in the past five years she's become very mentally ill'. In addition to the murder charge, South Australian police have charged Chesser with assaulting police and with knowingly performing an act or omission intending to result in human remains being less likely to be found for the purposes of concealing the commission of an offence relating to the human remains, court documents state.

Orlando Bloom embraces bachelor lifestyle in pyjamas for Jeff Bezos wedding
Orlando Bloom appeared to have put his recent split with Katy Perry behind him as he donned an eye-catching outfit when attending the wedding of Amazon boss Jeff Bezos Orlando Bloom appeared care-free as he jetted off to Venice to enjoy the wedding of Amazon founder Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez. But it was only a few days ago that it was confirmed the 48-year old actor had split with Katy Perry following their nine year relationship. The father of one was pictured in a black and white polka-dot matching pyjama set as he casually lounged back on a speed boat that was taking him along the Venice canal. With the top unbuttoned, Orlando completed his look with a black vest top teamed with jewellery around his neck. Earlier that day, the actor famed for his role in Pirates of the Caribbean, was seen taking a leisurely stroll with Tom Brady and actress Sydney Sweeney. The day before Orlando attended the nuptials of Jeff and Lauren on his own as Katy fulfilled her tour commitments. And according to US Weekly, a source close to the pair, who share a daughter together, said the couple split amicably. The source told the publication: "Katy and Orlando have split but are amicable. It's not contentious at the moment. Katy is of course upset but is relieved to not have to go through another divorce, as that was the worst time in her life." The source continued that the end of their nine year relationship had been a long time coming as the pair were virtually living separate lives since the singer has been on tour. The insider explained their relationship had been "tense for months" and they've been "living apart since Katy has been on tour." The couple first started dating back in 2016 while at the Golden Globes but a year later they split. At the time a joint statement was released that read: "Before rumors or falsifications get out of hand, we can confirm that Orlando and Katy are taking respectful, loving space at this time." But Katy's tweet was far more direct as she wrote at the same time: "HOW BOUT A NEW WAY OF THINKING FOR 201? U can still b friends & love ur former partners! No one's a victim or a villain, get a life y'all!" By 2018, the couple had reconciled and Orlando popped the question with a diamond a ruby engagement ring. The pair decided to share the news with fans by posting a zoomed in picture of themselves with the ring firmly in shot.

Jeff Fenech breaks silence on his daughter's big baby announcement with NRL star Bradman Best - after saying he didn't want her to date a footy player
Aussie boxing legend Jeff Fenech has spoken of his pride after his daughter Kayla announced she and NRL star Bradman Best were expecting a baby. The former IBF and WBC title holder had previously stated that he didn't want his daughter to date a rugby league player but has now changed his tune after meeting the Newcastle Knights star. Kayla and Best announced that they were expecting a baby in 2026 on Instagram last week. 'Baby Best due in January 2026. We can't wait,' Kayla wrote on the social media platform. But despite his earlier comments, Fenech has now spoken of his delight at the news. 'They are so happy,' he told The Daily Telegraph. 'And I'm so proud of both of them. Whether it's a boy or a girl, the baby is going to have some great genes. 'And they'll be great parents. You know how much I love Kayla and Bradman is a great fella who will make a great dad.' Fenech said he went 'apes***' when he found out his daughter was dating a footy player. 'I'd always warned my girls about going out with league players,' he had previously said. He added: 'So when she rang and told me, I went off the deep end. I gave her a roasting. She kept trying to say, "Dad, he's a lovely guy". Kayla was telling me every day how nice he was.' But it his opinion has changed since meeting Best, with Fenech, one of the country's greatest fighters, now also having gone down to the gym to train with the footy star. 'Bradman knew I was angry, but he told Kayla, "I'll prove your dad wrong" - and he has,' Fenech added. Kayla has over 200,000 followers on Instagram and works as a business development manager for Ray White. He added that he was 'so proud' of the pair having also previously revealed that he and Best had gone down to the gym to train together After announcing the big news on Instagram last week, the pair received a heartfelt reception from many of their close friends and family. Her mother, Suzee, wrote in the comments: 'Omg I'm so proud of you both, can't wait to meet my gorgeous little bubba. 'Super excited to be on this next chapter/journey with you both. Luv u both.' Jeff has also previously sung Best's praises and lifted the lid on how their training went. 'Maybe he was trying to impress his future father-in-law,' Fenech said. He was very impressive when we trained. 'When we first met, you could tell he was a good young man. He's treating Kayla beautifully. Like a gentleman. They're very happy. And so is my wife Suzee and I. 'The only time I got dirty is when he scored two tries against my Parramatta side last weekend and beat us.'
