The once loved-up couple rented the Ingleside acreage around 2018 when it was advertised at $2200 a week. Anthony, 34, who grew up in the Hunter Valley and Southern Highlands, loves animals and her Instagram account is full of her pictured with ponies, alpacas and chickens. She also introduced the radio shock jock to country life. The former couple rented several northside properties during their eight years together several of them acreages, including in Oxford Falls, St Ives and Ingleside.

He bemoaned the rainwater tank running out of water while he was taking a shower and while he loved hand feeding chickens he got covered in chook poo and ruined his designer sneakers worth thousands of dollars. Sandilands even moved down to a farm in Robertson with Anthony in 2018 but the relationship didn't last and they broke up soon afterwards. Sandilands, 54, went on to marry his long-time friend and office manager Tegan Kynaston in April 2023 and now they have a two-year-old son called Otto. Anthony has continued to model and design fashion and appeared as a contestant in Big Brother VIP in 2021.

Jurors hotel booking bungle caused mushroom murder trial havoc
Erin Patterson has been found guilty of murdering three people and trying to kill a fourth by poisoning them with death cap mushrooms. See all 21 stories. The jury in the Erin Patterson triple murder case was moved to new accommodation after prosecutors, homicide investigators and a sizeable media pack descended on the same small-town hotel. In shambolic scenes, the placement of the jury by the Supreme Court of Victoria in the same property as police, journalists and prosecutors led to people hiding in doorways to avoid contact, skipping breakfast and guests being forced to move rooms to avoid disturbing jury members in the final days of their deliberations. The revelation came on a day of developments in the mushroom murder trial, with news Sydney-based shock jocks Kyle Sandilands and Jackie O may face possible prosecution for contempt, popular chef Nagi Maehashi commented on the case for the first time and family members of the Patterson and Wilkinson clans remained holed up and maintaining a dignified silence. During its week-long deliberations in the biggest criminal trial of the decade, the 12-member jury was placed at a hotel in Traralgon. But the accommodation issue came to a head when bookings for the 2025 Table Tennis Australia national championships displaced others associated with the case and by terrible coincidence, the parties all ended up at the same hotel. Emails released to this masthead on behalf of Supreme Court judge Christopher Beale show the measures the court took to ensure the jury's impartiality was not accidentally compromised by contact with parties to the case during their deliberations. Loading 'On Saturday afternoon, I was informed by my Tipstaff that the informant and two prosecution solicitors have been staying at the same hotel as the jury. He also told me that there has been no interaction between them and the jury. The jury have had a separate floor to themselves and have eaten their meals in a conference room separate from other guests of the hotel. But all guests use the same entrance at the hotel,' the email sent on July 7 said. 'Coincidentally, on Saturday night the jurors moved to a different hotel in a different town where they will be staying for the rest of this week.' 'I understand that there is a shortage of accommodation in the district, but it is obviously undesirable for any of the parties or the informant to be staying at the same hotel as the jury.' Hours later, the prosecution responded. 'We confirm that the informant was staying at that hotel for the duration of the trial, and we only became aware last Thursday that the jury had commenced staying there. He believed he was staying in a different wing of the hotel and was using a different entrance, and he took steps to avoid common areas from the point that he became aware that they were there.' 'In relation to the prosecution solicitors, the prosecution team's usual accommodation was no longer available for our use as of Friday last week, so we had booked that hotel for the Friday night for prosecution counsel and solicitors. 'When we became aware that the jury were staying there, we attempted to move everyone but, due to availability issues in the area, we were only able to move counsel. We confirm that the prosecution solicitors did not interact with the jury at any stage and also took steps to avoid any incidental contact in common areas.' Loading 'The informant and prosecution team are no longer staying at that hotel.' A Victoria Police spokesperson said that 'at no time' did homicide squad detectives come into contact with the jury. The OPP said members of the prosecution team, excluding Crown prosecutors, stayed for one night at the motel where the jury was sequestered and 'did not interact with them'. Patterson's legal representatives, Doogue & George, declined to comment on whether they were aware of the accommodation arrangements set up by the court or the presence of police and prosecutors. The defence also made no response to the email chain, according to the Supreme Court. There is no suggestion of any impropriety by any of the parties who stayed at the hotel. But a veteran criminal lawyer said it was a 'terrible look' that the jury was sequestered in a hotel filled with people and officials involved in the trial. 'It just doesn't look right. Something could have accidentally gone wrong – some kind of interaction that just had to look like it was inappropriate to cause chaos,' the lawyer said, who asked not to be identified because of his employment. 'If it was the defence that had gotten rooms in the same hotel as the jury, the police and prosecutors would be loudly protesting to the judge. It's just not normal.' The day before the verdict, the jury was permitted to escape its enforced isolation – and the chaotic scenes at the hotel, where they were not allowed to use the gym or onsite bar – with a trip to a local winery. Avoiding inadvertent contact between jurors, those involved in the case, media and court watchers has been a significant concern during the trial given the small size of Morwell, with a population less than 15,000. Accommodation was hard-fought over in Morwell and Traralgon due to the sheer number of people who were required to relocate to the area for the trial, who often ran into each other at local cafes or restaurants. Patterson on Monday was found guilty of three counts of murder for the deaths of Don and Gail Patterson and Heather Wilkinson and one count of attempted murder for Ian Wilkinson who she poisoned with death cap mushrooms. After the verdict, it could be revealed that KIIS breakfast hosts Sandilands and Jackie O faced possible contempt charges for comments made on their radio program during the trial. Media reporting on, and others commenting on, trials are prevented from publishing information that may prejudice the hearing, under sub judice contempt laws. The outspoken duo may have gone too far while giving their own early verdicts on Patterson on June 16, venturing into discussions that may have touched on material declared off-limits while the trial was still under way. That afternoon, before the jury returned to court after the lunch break, Justice Beale disclosed he would refer the matter to the Office of Public Prosecutions for possible contempt proceedings and warned the media that the court would continue to keep close watch. 'I encourage all commentators to engage their brains before they open their mouths, as they may otherwise land themselves and their organisations in hot water,' he said. The penalty for contempt can range from fines to jail time. Lunch survivor Ian Wilkinson has still made no public statements since the verdict. Instead, a note on behalf of his Baptist congregation in Korumburra appeared on the noticeboard outside the church. 'We all greatly miss Heather, Don, and Gail, whether we were friends for a short time or over 20 years. They were very special people who loved God and loved to bless others,' the statement read. Outside Wilkinson's weatherboard home, a sign expressed the desire for privacy. It was a sentiment echoed at the homes of Erin Patterson's estranged husband, Simon Patterson, in the fringes of leafy Korumburra, and on the front door of the home of her sister, Ceinwen Scutter, in Melbourne's south-east. 'No entry without appointment,' the sign on Simon's fence read. 'You are trespassing. If you do not leave immediately, the police will be called,' warned the handwritten one on Scutter's door. Meanwhile, Maehashi put a statement on her social media after revelations during the trial Patterson had used a beef Wellington recipe from her popular cookbook for the lethal lunch. 'It is of course upsetting to learn that one of my recipes – possibly the one I've spent more hours perfecting than any other – something I created to bring joy and happiness is entangled in a tragic situation. Other than that, I have nothing to say and I won't be talking.'

KIIS FM stars Kyle Sandilands and Jackie 'O' Henderson facing court after making controversial comments on mushroom killer trial live on air
Radio stars Kyle Sandilands and Jackie 'O' Henderson are in hot water over comments they made on the trial of convicted mushroom killer Erin Patterson. Patterson was on Monday found guilty of murdering her three in-laws with death cap mushrooms in a beef Wellington that she served them for lunch in 2023. During the high-profile trial, Justice of the Supreme Court of Victoria Christopher Beale referenced comments made by the KIIS FM stars on the Kyle and Jackie O Show prior to the verdict. During an on-air segment on June 16, Sandilands and Henderson were heard discussing the trial, with Sandilands at one point stating, 'Just lock that b**ch up' while referring to Patterson. Justice Beale indicated that he would be referring the radio hosts to the Office of Public Prosecutions, with the pair facing possible prosecution for contempt of court over the comments. 'This morning the presenters of the Kyle and Jackie O radio show commented on this case during a new segment on their show,' Justice Beale said at the time. 'I have read a transcript of that commentary. I encourage all commentators to engage their brains before they open their mouths, as they may otherwise land themselves and their organisations in hot water' he continued. 'I will be referring this morning's matter to the Office of Public Prosecutions for contempt proceedings. 'Our media unit will continue to closely monitor all media in relation to commentary on this case, whether the commentary be shock jocks, so-called influencers, social media commentators or legacy media.' During the controversial segment, Sandilands and Henderson discussed the trial as the jury prepared to render a verdict. 'Like, what does the evidence point to? My question is how strong is her case?' Henderson asked her co-host. 'Not strong, not strong for her,' Sandilands replied. In the heavily bleeped audio, he then added: 'The rest of us already know … C'mon bro … Just lock that b**ch up.' Daily Mail Australia has reached out to KIIS FM for comment. The verdict in the Erin Patterson trial ends one of the nation's most intriguing homicide cases. Patterson sat defiantly throughout her 10-week trial, glaring at the media, members of the public and the family of the people she murdered with callous disregard. The mother-of-two had pleaded not guilty to the murders of Don and Gail Patterson, and Gail's sister, Heather Wilkinson. They died after consuming death caps in the beef Wellington during lunch at Patterson's Leongatha home in southeast Victoria on July 29, 2023. Only Pastor Ian Wilkinson survived her plot - a blunder Patterson would live to regret, and will now serve time for after also being found guilty of attempting to murder him. Asked to deliver a verdict, the jury foreperson - one of only five women to sit on the original 15-person panel - simply stated, 'guilty'. The verdict produced an audible gasp from those within the packed courtroom, which included members of the Patterson clan.
