Turia Pitt confesses she's watched hit Aussie TV series '637 times' in hilariously relatable post about her favourite things

Sky News AU11-07-2025
Turia Pitt has admitted to watching the hit '90s drama SeaChange more than 600 times, sharing the quirky fact as part of a laugh-out-loud post calling for her fellow "soul twins".
The 37-year-old took to Instagram with a carousel post of "chaotic" confessions, from overthinking a fringe to donning "good" activewear with zero plans to exercise.
"If you've ever rewatched the same comfort show again instead of risking something 'too intense' or stared at yourself in the mirror wondering if this is the era you finally get a fringe… Then yep, we might be soul twins," she captioned the post.
One slide included a snap of Turia in bed with her son and read: "You'd rather rewatch a feel-good show you've seen 637 times like SeaChange than risk a new one being 'too scary' just before bed."
The iconic ABC series, which first aired in 1998, starred Sigrid Thornton, John Howard, David Wenham, Kate Atkinson and Kevin Harrington, and clearly still holds a special place in Aussie hearts.
Followers flooded the comments with love for both the show and Turia's honesty.
"In that case… we are besties Turia," one wrote, while another said: "SeaChange forever!"
A third added: 'Oh my goodness- all of them! And SeaChange is my ALL time favourite TV show…. Besties?!"
Celebrity mates also joined in, with Melissa Doyle writing: "Yep. Friends," alongside a heart emoji, and Steph Claire Smith adding: "Ahahaha yes yes yes."
Some of Turia's other favourite things included wearing her "good" activewear to school dropoff despite having "no intention of exercising" and thinking of new hobbies such as "pickleball" and "learn[ing] harp".
Turia's relatable post comes hot on the heels of her latest book announcement.
On July 2, she unveiled her sixth title Selfish, due for release in October- a project aimed at flipping the script on what it means to put yourself first.
"We're told that being selfish is bad," she wrote.
"That we should always think of others, put everyone else first, push our own needs aside. I bought into that story. And it led me straight to burnout. This is the book I wish I had during that time."
The Sydney-based mum of two has long been open about the life-altering bushfire that reshaped her path.
In 2011, then 25, Pitt was competing in the Racing the Planet: Kimberley ultramarathon when she and another person became trapped by a fast-moving grassfire.
She sustained burns to 65 per cent of her body, was placed in a medically induced coma, lost seven fingers, and underwent more than 200 surgeries.
Her recovery spanned two years- but since then, she's become one of the country's most beloved speakers, authors, and role models.

Lotto: One lucky Aussie wins entire $30 million jackpot in Powerball draw

One Aussie's life changed forever on Thursday evening after they won the eye-watering $30 million Powerball prize. The entire $30,628,398.22 division one amount went to one extremely lucky player. The winning numbers were 2, 25, 6, 4, 31, 34, 19 and the Powerball number was 20. The multimillionaire winner was not from WA, residing elsewhere in the country. Unfortunately, West Aussies weren't too fruitful in division two either; there were 21 winners, each scoring $26,947.75, but they were all from elsewhere in the country. In division three, seven West Aussies won a handy $12,563.50, not to be sniffed at. Perth Now has recently revealed the luckiest Saturday Lotto numbers of the last forty years which may be helpful for any players hedging their bets on Saturday's $30 million mega draw. Many players use Playslips to select their preferred numbers, but most often, it's randomly generated figures at the point of sale that result in Division One wins. In May, a Warnbro couple planned an 'extra luxurious haircut for their beloved dog' after bagging a $1.2 million Saturday Lotto pay day from just a $6.65 Playslip.

'I'd totally jump on that': Jessica Simpson ready to start dating again

Jessica Simpson is ready to start dating again. The 45-year-old singer announced her split from second husband, Eric Johnson, 45, in January and Jessica revealed she now feels ready for a new relationship. When asked by Today show co-host Jenna Bush-Hager: 'Are you interested in dating? Can I set you up with anybody?', Jessica replied: 'I'd totally jump on that. Yes I'm single - very into like, very … I'm ready!' Jenna questioned: 'What are you into so I can set my criteria?' and Jessica explained: 'My type of person is one of a kind. I don't have a look, or anything. 'I just like for somebody to be individually, who they are. And exude confidence without the ego. 'It's hard to find but I feel like it's out there. I don't need somebody to be supportive of me all the time. 'I feel like the independence that I have right now, if I can have that and give it to someone else, that'd be cool.' Jessica – who shares Maxwell, 12, Ace, 11, and Birdie, five, with Eric – announced their split via Instagram in January. She said: 'Eric and I have been living separately navigating a painful situation in our marriage 'Our children come first, and we are focusing on what is best for them. We are grateful for all of the love and support that has been coming our way, and appreciate privacy right now as we work through this as a family.' Jessica was previously married to singer and presenter Nick Lachey from 2002 to 2006.
