'Not happy': Fans react amid sad news around Tony Squires and Candice Warner
Fans are expressing their sadness after it was revealed on Saturday that long-running sports program 'The Back Page' has been axed after 29 years. Tony Squires, who has hosted the show on Fox Sports for the last 12 years, confirmed the sad news but admitted he wasn't surprised. The sport talk-show has been running since 1997, but will wrap up for good after three more episodes. 'Ironically, I wrote a story in 2021 saying television shows don't usually last 25 years,' Squires told . 'They're like animals on the Savannah - very few of them die of old age. 'There's always something young and exciting with big nasty teeth, coming to get them. Well, The Back Page is now 29 years old, I've been hosting it for almost 13 years ... and we've been got. To be honest, it wasn't a shock.' The late, great Mike Gibson was the show's first host back in 1997, and held the role up until 2012. Peter FitzSimons, Billy Birmingham, Tracey Holmes and Jeff Wells were the panellists when it first began, and in recent times it regularly featured journalist Robert Craddock, ironwoman Candice Warner, NRL legend Greg Alexander and AFL great Brad Johnson. Warner, the wife of Aussie cricket great David, became a weekly panellist in 2022 and used the show as a launching pad for her burgeoning media career. Former AFL player-turned-radio host Ryan Fitzgerald was also a regular panellist, as were Socceroos legends Robbie Slater and Mark Bosnich. 'It's been a privilege to host a show once run by the legendary Mike Gibson,' said Squires, who's expected to stay on with Fox Sports in another role. 'But most of all it's been fun - like sitting at the pub with your mates pretending to know a shitload about sport. 'I'm going to miss it. Not because it was a job, but because it was my social life. I got to hang out with Kelli Underwood, Ryan Fitzgerald, Kerry O'Keeffe, Candice Warner, Brad Johnson, Ben Dixon and Robert Craddock - the most enthusiastic man on the planet. 'We've interviewed hundreds of sporting superstars over the years. From Rod Laver to Gout Gout – a 17-year-old kid who lit up the screen on his first live TV interview show just a few weeks ago.' Fox Sports boss Steve Crawley said the decision to cut 'The Back Page' is not a cost-cutting move, denying it has anything to do with Foxtel's new owners DAZN. 'At Fox Sports we have introduced a number of new shows in recent times and we have more in final planning,' he said. 'The Back Page has been entertaining audiences for nearly three decades; there are very few shows that can claim that. 'Entertainment programming is a tough business in that it's like life itself, how everything has a lifespan. Even the great shows like 'Hey Hey It's Saturday' and 'The Back Page'. In a big country with different codes of football and unique tastes, it's extremely rare for a sports show to survive, let alone for almost 30 years.' RELATED: Fresh blow for Panthers as four-time premiership winner retires Tennis world blasts 'classless' act after French Open women's final Crawley commended Squires and the team that made the show so successful. 'Host Tony Squires, panellists Crash (Craddock) and Fitzy, Candice Warner and Kelli Underwood and producer Matt Parslow have put in so much hard work,' he said. 'We'll celebrate Back Page over the final three weekly episodes.' Fans of the show took to social media on Saturday to express their sadness at hearing it's been axed. "Not happy at all about this decision," one person wrote. Another commented: "Great show. Looked forward to it every Tuesday. Can't believe it is ending." The Back Page Australia's longest-running television sports show is closing down after 29 years. Only 3 more episodes to go.I liked it best when Gibbo was host & Billy Birmingham, Peter 'Chippy' Frilingos, Mike Coleman & David Hookes used to chew the sporting fat. Crash ok too. — OBBY (@OBBY001) June 7, 2025

Candice Warner sparks rumours she's had a boob job as she reveals her very ample cleavage in workout video
Candice Warner has sparked speculation she may have undergone recent breast augmentation surgery. The former ironwoman, 40, shared a workout video to Instagram on Thursday which showed her wearing a tight sports tank that flaunted her ample cleavage. As she lifted weights in the clip, the mother-of-three revealed her bustier look in the low-cut top. Candice donned an all-black look for her workout, also flaunting her toned legs in black leggings. In the video, she looked proud of herself as she accomplished a set of heavy dead-lifts. Daily Mail Australia has reached out to Candice for comment. Candice has previously been open about the cosmetic work she has had done. In 2022, she was transparent about getting Botox. She admitted on her Triple M Summer Breakfast show at the time she gets Botox injected into her face and armpits. 'I'm not afraid to say that, yes, I've got Botox in my face and it makes me feel fantastic,' she explained to her fellow co-hosts Tom Tilley and Harley Breen. 'Because being a mum, you get tired and all that kind of stuff. It just makes me feel fresher and better about myself.' She went on to say she gets Botox in her armpits to help with a condition she suffers from called hyperhidrosis, which involves excessive sweating. 'I used to suffer really badly with sweaty armpits and often doing some work in front of the camera, I'd be really embarrassed,' she said. She said she gets the treatment done under her armpits 'about once a year' and as a result doesn't sweat there anymore. But she said the downfall is that the sweat has to go somewhere else—which for her comes out of her feet. 'I'll be walking wearing a pair of slides and I'll be sliding literally all over the place,' Candice said. The retired Iron Woman, who is married to cricketer David Warner, said she doesn't understand why people don't like to discuss the 'work they've had done'. 'It's clearly obvious when someone has had Botox or when they haven't and if it makes you feel good, then that's all that matters,' she said. 'I don't really care what people think—if I've had it or not. It makes me feel better about myself. So I'm pro Botox.' Candice and her husband David, 38, have three daughters—Ivy Mae, 10, Indi Rae, nine, and Isla Rose, five.

Candice Warner: Marriage to David Warner and why couple are putting daughters on Instagram
Candice Warner reveals why she and husband David have set up a dedicated social media page for their three daughters. Stellar: Happy Mother's Day. You're on the cover of Stellar with your husband, David Warner, and your daughters, Ivy, 10, Indi, 9, and Isla, 5. Three children and lots of props … How was the shoot? Candice Warner: It was so much fun and suited our family to a tee. We had bikes, tennis racquets, balls, hula hoops. That's no different to what our house is like, except I put my foot down because there are no skateboards or bikes in our house. Stellar: You're an extremely close-knit family. Is that shifting as the girls start getting older? Candice Warner: We're still incredibly close. [David] retired from playing cricket for Australia [in 2024] but he's still away a lot. So the girls are my best friends. We do everything together. I'm one of those mothers that loves to be there. I'm present. I'm at school pick-up and I try to do it all because I love that and I had parents like that. The girls are so different. Ivy, she's the sensitive one. I can rely on her for absolutely anything and everything. Indi is the joker, always making us laugh. And then we have Isla, who is the spitting image of David and full of energy. Listen to a new episode of Something To Talk About featuring Candice Warner below: Stellar: One of the biggest hot-button issues this past year has been the conversation surrounding social media and children. Your daughters have a shared Instagram account called The Warner Sisters, managed by yourself and David, which you started in late 2023 – it now has almost 200,000 followers. Tell me about your decision to open an account for them, especially when so many parents are evaluating their kids' relationship with social media? Candice Warner: During Covid, David was really big on TikTok. He loved doing all the dances and the girls would often get involved. I saw how much fun we were having as a family. It brought us together on the weekends. So I started the Instagram account and it was a way for us to teach the girls how to use social media responsibly. Before we post anything, we show them, they can read the comments, it's all about teaching them, guiding them. Our kids are no different to any other kid. They play sport, they like to do dances. Yes, they've got parents with a high profile, but for us, it was all about putting out a positive image… At the moment, it's fun. They're not influencers. They're just young girls living their life, having fun, being sporty, and I capture it and I put it on a page. The Federal Government passed the Online Safety Amendment (Social Media Minimum Age) Act last year, which introduced a minimum age of 16 for accounts on certain social media platforms, noting the link between the rise of social media and the harm to the mental health of young Australians. To be clear, the girls don't manage the account themselves, yourself and David post on their behalf. But how do you navigate issues such as trolling? [Of all the comments we've received] 99.9 per cent have been positive. If there have ever been any negative comments, it's about us as parents, not so much about the kids. In regards to [last year's change in legislation], I definitely support that. Suicide happens from all this online trolling and that's very serious. Our girls don't have [personal social media] accounts because I don't believe that young kids have the mental capacity to deal with trolls. But for us, their joint social media is about teaching our girls how to use it responsibly. They have an input in what we show. I teach them about ignoring negativity. We have experienced trolling. We still experience it… But if you completely block [social media] out and say it doesn't exist, then I don't think you're teaching your kids how to use it properly. If you want to protect your kids in a way where you're not teaching them any life skills, then you're letting your kids down. The Danish royal family recently released an official portrait of Princess Isabella, the 18-year-old daughter of King Frederik and Queen Mary, in which she was holding an iPhone. It sparked huge debate. What do you think that discussion says about us as a society? Everyone is really quick to judge and to point the finger, but let's face it, you might be sitting at the traffic lights and every single person on that bus has their head down on their phone. You go to a park and are playing with your kids [and] the majority of the mums and dads are sitting there on their phones. They're a part of our life, phones aren't going anywhere. Social media isn't going anywhere, but it's about limiting it and using it in a positive way. In speaking about this to Stellar today are you bracing yourselves for potentially negative responses from some people? I don't care what people say about me, about my husband, about us as a family – it's their opinion, it's not fact. They don't know us. I'm not here to defend [the girls' social media] page, but I'm here to say that, yes, it can be dangerous. I truly believe what [Prime Minister] Anthony Albanese is doing is the right thing to protect young adults. But we also have an obligation as a parent – most parents have social media – to teach our kids how to use it in a positive way. Let's not be all doom and gloom about social media. It can be wonderful if we know how to use it correctly and if we can empower or educate or make people smile or laugh. Listen to a new episode of Something To Talk About featuring Candice Warner below: A lot of other high-profile Australians blank out the faces of their children or don't post them on social media, but you and David haven't chosen to do that? We've never found a need to blank our kids' faces out. We're incredibly protective of our girls, don't get us wrong. But I don't feel like someone is going to come and kidnap my daughter if they know what school she's at. I'm not that type of parent. You've got to live a little bit. Just because we have a profile and my husband plays cricket, are we supposed to just live behind four walls and never leave there and never let our kids be seen or heard? If it's good for us, it's good for our kids. And they're very happy. They're thriving. They're really happy young girls. Yes, we're protective but we're also realistic in the world that we live in. You appeared in the newspaper at the age of 14, when you were beginning your ironwoman career. Do you think the pressure you felt as a result of that kind of exposure at a young age differs from your three daughters' experience of living a public life? I know with myself at such a young age, I didn't start putting pressure on myself because my photo was in the paper. I put pressure on myself because I worked really hard and I wanted to achieve at a high level. So pressure is sometimes a good thing. And my girls understand pressure. They play tennis five, six times a week. Most of the time in tennis, you lose; in a tournament, there's only ever going to be one winner. So tennis teaches you how to lose. It teaches you to be resilient, how to keep turning up week after week when you may not have had a win. Almost every parent wants to teach resilience to their children. What's your hack? The best way to teach resilience is to not wrap your kids in cotton wool. A bit of tough love. How can you teach resilience if they've never failed? How can you tell your kids to get back up when they've never fallen? We love our kids and we support them but we also need to let them learn for themselves sometimes. And losing or failing, it doesn't mean that's the end. It means there's going to be growth. Listen to a new episode of Something To Talk About featuring Candice Warner below: You and David celebrated your 10th wedding anniversary last month. How do you reflect on your time together? I'm incredibly proud of where we're at in life, where our kids are at and the parents that we've become. Our relationship is very strong, but it always has been. Certain situations that we've overcome together have made us even stronger. We look at our kids and we see them as our biggest achievements. We're really proud of how far we've come and that we didn't give up along the way.

Candice Warner hits back at critics who slammed her for creating Instagram pages for her three young daughters
Candice Warner has hit back at critics who slammed her for creating a social media account for her three young daughters despite Prime Minister Anthony Albanese's controversial social media ban. Late last year, the Senate passed laws to block under-16s from platforms such as Facebook, Instagram and TikTok to protect their mental health. Despite this, the Warner sisters - who have an impressive 198,000 followers on Instagram - will keep their account which is run by their parents. The former Ironwoman, 40, who shares daughters Ivy, 10, Indi, eight, and Isla, five, with 39-year-old cricket star husband David, told Stellar on Sunday that social media can be 'wonderful' if used 'correctly'. 'I don't care what people say about me, about my husband, about us as a family, because it's their opinion, it's not fact,' Candice told the publication. 'They don't know us. I'm not here to defend [the girls' social media] page, but I'm also here to say that, yes, it can be dangerous. I truly believe what Anthony Albanese is doing is the right thing to protect young adults. 'But we also have an obligation as a parent – most parents have social media – to teach our kids how to use it in a positive way. Let's not be all doom and gloom about social media. It can be wonderful if we know how to use it correctly.' Elsewhere in the chat the mother-of-three talked about the importance 'tough love' in an often hazardous social media environment. 'The best way to teach resilience is to not wrap your kids in cotton wool,' she said. 'A bit of tough love. How can you teach resilience if they've never failed? How can you tell your kids to get back up when they've never fallen? 'We love our kids and we support them but we also need to let them learn for themselves sometimes' The family also posed for a series of 'sports' themed snaps for Stellar including one featuring the entire clan clad in colourful active wear. It comes after Candice previously revealed that her daughters do not 'run' their instagram account. 'We live in a world where social media is a big thing whether we like it or not,' Candice told News Corp in February. 'Everything we do [on the account] is fun and the girls don't have access to it. It's me and David running the account under my name. 'We control everything and it's all positive.' The account, which is called The Warner Sisters, features shares including several 'dance' videos of Candice and David rocking out with their daughters in wholesome routines. Candice wed cricket star David in 2015 just as his career on the pitch was hitting its peak. The dashing batsman made his Test debut in 2011 against New Zealand and finished with an average of 44.59 which included 26 centuries. He later stunned fans by officially announcing his retirement from all forms of first class cricket in 2024.
