Married At First Sight's Jacqui Burfoot requests free flowers from followers - after TV bride was busted posing as her own fan in latest social media gaffe
Married At First Sight's Jacqui Burfoot and Clint Rice have asked their followers to send flowers after the memorable TV bride made an embarrassing online gaffe.
On Wednesday, the newly engaged couple took to Instagram to direct their combined 130,000 fans to a florist in their state of Tasmania.
"The apple doesn't fall far from the tree. If anyone wants to send us flowers anytime @westtamarflowers have our address on file!!" Jacqui and Clint wrote in the caption of a video with the couple's dogs.

The samoyeds Eski and Nasa wagged their tails as they followed and sniffed a bouquet of roses, chrysanthemums and hydrangeas at the couple's million-dollar abode near Launceston.
The request came after Jacqui was caught red-handed posing as her own fan when she asked her followers to buy her a coffee.
The former lawyer recently downloaded the app Buy Me A Coffee, which allows content creators to receive fan donations for a cup of the liquid gold.
MAFS season 10 groom Harrison Boon later shared a screenshot of her Buy Me A Coffee account, where the Kiwi asked her followers to donate a minimum of eight dollars - $2.50 more than the national average for a cup of coffee.
However, Jacqui's request did not appear to resonate with her fans, as her account had only one supporter, Jacqui herself, at the time of writing.
"Jacqui has downloaded the app where her fans can buy her a coffee. But no one would buy Jacqui a coffee for $8 because, who in their right mind would," Harrison said on TikTok.
"So, Jacqui decided to become a supporter of herself, and what did Jacqui's message to herself say, you might ask?"
"Jacqui writes, in the third person, to herself, 'Thank you for all the laughs. You were our favourite bride of all time. Never a dull moment'."
Last month, SkyNews.com.au revealed Jacqui and Clint asked media to pay them up to $500 despite having "several millions" worth of assets.
The bride-to-be said the couple had been "slammed" by the media and decided to charge $100 for a comment and up to $500 for an interview.

"We are packed and charging for media right now - $100 for a comment about $250 - $500 for interviews," she said.
"Unless we are friends or family, it's favours."
Since her tumultuous relationship with TV husband Ryan Donnelly ended, Jacqui has expanded her hip pockets through her personal website links.
The website lists a Tasmanian PO Box for correspondence and contains a link to her jewellery business for "collabs."
The 30-year-old also sells Cameos to fans and increased her price for a video to $111.09 from around $30.

Meanwhile, her fiancée's assets include a Porsche and several million dollars from the sale of his company.
From 2008 through 2014, Clint won around $43,000 on the PGA Tour Canada and competed in other golf tournaments.
Jacqui and Clint gained national attention when they officially confirmed their couple status during the penultimate episode of MAFS season 12.
About four months later, the professional got on one knee to present Jacqui with a $30,000 5-carat ring from Simon Curwood Jewellers.

Australian Survivor host ‘blindsided' over getting axed
Australian Survivor host Jonathan La Paglia has confirmed he has been let go from the show. La Paglia, who has hosted the Survivor revival since 2016, took to Instagram to confirm to fans that he had been 'blindsided' by the news. 'Australian Survivor has seen some of the most epic blindsides over the last 10 years, but this one might just be the craziest of them all…because it happened to me,' he began his lengthy post. 'I received a call from the Network thanking me for all my hard work and dedication to the show but for next season they are 'going in a different direction'. Ratings had dipped a bit recently and they wanted to do something drastic to shake things up. 'I wish I could say, 'Before we go to vote, tonight is a little different….no one's going home'. But I can't. None of that non-elim bullshit tonight! Someone IS going home. And with no idol in my back pocket, that someone is me,' he said. La Paglia called his time hosting the show 'one of the greatest adventures' of his career. 'I have loved and will dearly miss the immensely talented crew, all the crafty players and our loyal sassy audience. I'm a huge fan of this incredible game, always have been, always will be'. La Paglia has already filmed the newest season of the show, so the host change will not hit screens until next year. The network has also confirmed the news, with a spokesperson for the channel issuing a statement about the change. '10 can confirm that the upcoming season of Survivor: Australia V The World will be the last series hosted by the formidable Jonathan La Paglia (JLP),' a spokesperson said. 'JLP has brought a unique blend of authority, intelligence and empathy to his role as host of Australian Survivor over the last 10 years. Jonathan La Paglia's exit has been confirmed by both him and the 10 Network. Credit: Supplied / TheWest 'Acting as a referee and managing the intense pressure of the game while also acknowledging the human drama unfolding, JLP has been a compelling and memorable figure in the world of Survivor. 'We extend our sincere gratitude to JLP for his outstanding contribution over 10 years on Survivor, and we wish him continued success in his acting and presenting career'. It is understood that 10 will make an announcement soon about who will take over La Paglia's hosting duties, but rumours suggest a likely replacement may be former Australian Survivor champion David Genat. Genat is set to compete in La Paglia's final season, marking his third appearance on the show. The next season of the show is expected to debut on Australian televisions later this year.

Dua Lipa celebrates five-night sold out stadium run with perfect pub act
Don't miss out on the headlines from Music Tours. Followed categories will be added to My News. Dua Lipa is ticking off life goals left, right and centre at the moment as the pop superstar celebrated five straight sold out stadium shows in England and Ireland. Having taken her Radical Optimism Tour to the UK, the 29-year-old songstress sold out Wembley Stadium twice, Liverpool's Anfield twice and Aviva Stadium in Dublin over the last week, continuing her wildly successful tour. And what better way to celebrate than with a well earned beverage. When in Ireland, you do as the Irish do and Dua took to social media as she downed a Guinness attempting to 'split the G'. '5 SOLD OUT STADIUMS IN A ROW!!!! ~ ONLY ONE WAY TO CELEBRATE!!!! BY SPLITTING THE G!!!!!!' she wrote on Instagram. While Aussies will be more accustomed to chugging the entire drink in one go like our late former Prime Minister Bob Hawke at the cricket, in Ireland, they take a more precision approach. 'Splitting the G' refers to drinking until the liquid perfectly cuts the G in Guinness on the glass in half, an act that Dua at the very least had an admirable attempt at. Although the origins of the trend are hazy at best, a Reddit thread claimed it came up in 2006 and was known as the Guinness Challenge, while others, including London pub Daffodil Mulligan claim that because no one can pinpoint the origin 'we're taking a small liberty in claiming it as an Irish tradition'. Whatever it is, the trend has become a viral sensation and a badge of honour for Guinness drinkers. There's even one pub owner in Galway who offers a free second pint to anyone who can 'split the G' on their first try on their first pint. Dua Lipa just won a bunch more followers! Photo: Instagram It's an admirable effort from the star. Photo: Instagram Close but no cigar to the sticklers. Photo: Instagram Dua shared her party snaps – and the Guinness was flowing. Photo: Instagram However, one controversy has arisen about how much of the beverage should be consumed, with contention over whether it should be drunk until halfway down the G — as Dua did — or whether it's splitting the top of the G from the bottom of the harp in the Guinness logo. But most Dua Lipa fans were too busy celebrating the star's achievement — and her iconic celebration — to worry about that. 'Cannot deal with how iconic you are having a lock-in, in a Dublin pub immediately after a sell out stadium gig,' one fan commented. Guinness US posted: 'Congrats and sláinte!' Sláinte is Gaelic for 'health' and is a popular toast. 'Immaculate vibes as always,' another posted. A fourth added: 'Splitting the G after 5 sold out stadiums is top aura moments.' Others felt they needed to pop the bubble. 'You sadly did not split the g Dua,' one commented. 'Well done on the shows, but you're miles off splitting the G … just saying …' another said. Pretty sure Dua still won. Photo byIt was party time for Dua and her crew. Photo: Instagram She had plenty to celebrate. Photo: Instagram Dua's tour has been going on since November last year, and she's due to hit Canada in September, followed by the major cities in the United States, and will finish up in Mexico City on December 5. The pop star already took Australia by storm with eight shows between Melbourne and Sydney back in March, where she made the most of her time Down Under. A-list star hits Aussie beach in tiny bikini VIEW GALLERY It's been an incredible year for Dua after she revealed she was engaged to British actor Callum Turner back in December. She only confirmed the rumour to British Vogue in June. 'Yes, we're engaged,' she told the magazine. 'It's very exciting.' The pair were first linked as a couple in January 2024 when they were spotted dancing the night away at his Masters of Air premiere afterparty in Los Angeles. Months later, they were photographed engaging in some PDA during a trip to New York City. Originally published as Dua Lipa celebrates five-night sold out stadium run with perfect pub act

Australian Survivor host Jonathan La Paglia 'blindsided' after Channel Ten abruptly axed him from reality series ahead of 14th season
Australian Survivor host Jonathan La Paglia has said he was "blindsided" after Network 10 axed him from the reality series ahead of its 14th season. A 10 spokesperson on Monday confirmed the upcoming season of Survivor: Australia V The World will be the last series hosted by La Paglia, who already filmed the show before its premiere in the coming months. 'JLP has brought a unique blend of authority, intelligence and empathy to his role as host of Australian Survivor over the last 10 years," the spokesperson told in a statement. "Acting as a referee and managing the intense pressure of the game while also acknowledging the human drama unfolding, JLP has been a compelling and memorable figure in the world of Survivor." 'We look forward to JLP hosting the next epic instalment of Survivor: Australia V World coming soon to 10." The spokesperson on behalf of the network thanked La Paglia for his "outstanding contribution" to hosting the game show since 2016 and wished him "continued success in his acting and presenting career". 'We will be making an announcement shortly about who will take over hosting duties for the 2026 season of Australian Survivor.' Despite no apparent signs of animosity between the network and La Paglia amid his sudden axing, the TV host appeared to suggest otherwise in a lengthy statement addressing his departure on Instagram. "Australian Survivor has seen some of the most epic blindsides over the last 10 years, but this one might just be the craziest of them all…because it happened to me," the 55-year-old wrote on Monday. He further doubled down on his claim 10 brutally surprised him by stripping him of his arguably most recognisable TV role. "Whoever said a blindside is the most humane way to put someone down is an idiot. It hurts like a bitch!" La Paglia said. He continued by saying he recently received a "call from the Network thanking me for all my hard work and dedication to the show." "But for next season, they are 'going in a different direction'," the TV host said of the conversation. "Ratings had dipped a bit recently, and they wanted to do something drastic to shake things up. "So, for the first time ever, this is not a tribe swap but a host swap. Yes, you read that right." Survivor features a group of contestants known as "castaways" living in an isolated outdoor location in Samoa. Its there they must provide for themselves by gathering food, water, fire, and shelter while competing in challenges for awards and immunity. The castaways are progressively eliminated by their peers, with the last member crowned Sole Survivor and awarded the grand prize of $500,000. Former model and Australian Survivor: All-Stars champion David Genant is tipped to replace La Paglia as host, according to Daily Mail Australia on Sunday. Genant recently won $8.7 million on the US TV game show Deal or No Deal Island and is set to compete in Survivor: Australia V The World. The new season will mark the TV star's third time on the series, and he has previously hosted popular travel shows Rush and Getaway. Despite Genant's impressive TV record, a production insider told Daily Mail Australia not everyone is convinced he's La Paglia best replacement. "He doesn't fit the brief," the insider said. "He's charismatic, sure - but Survivor needs someone with gravitas. "David is not Jonathan, and viewers will notice that." The massive shakeup at 10 comes as Australian Survivor struggles with a rating slump. The last season, Brains vs. Brawn II, saw viewership dip to 486,000 total overnight viewers, a far cry from the many millions it attracted in its prime.
