MESSAGES LEAKED


CONTESTANTS


I


t seems every season
someone complains about
their ‘edit’, often blaming
the producers for painting
them in a bad light.
However, New Idea can
exclusively reveal that the
majority of this year’s
contestants have been devastated
by their portrayal on national
television.
In leaked private messages,
wives Tracey, Gab, and Alycia
say they were all left in a state of
shock after watching themselves
on screen, reaching out to one
another for support.
‘What a strange episode
tonight,’ typed mum-of-one
Tracey. ‘I was edited so much.’
Joining in the conversation
Gab revealed that she was ‘not
surprised’, and felt like she was
just a background extra herself.
But it was Alycia who was left
in the most devastated after

important events were
simply wiped from her
relationship with
husband Matt.
According to our
spies, the pretty blonde
had such a ferocious row
with her tradie man, security
was called in to defuse
the situation.
‘He was really yelling
at her and to be honest
she was scared,’ says the
spy about the fight.
‘Security were called
and he was escorted off to
another hotel and put into
lockdown and they left
the show the next day.’
But with none of those
dramatic scenes making it
to air – with the experts
explaining that he had
some ‘issues’, he needed
to work though – Alycia
was left gobsmacked.

THE SHOCKING INCIDENTS


THAT THE SHOW’S


PRODUCERS COVERED UP


She has won fans across
Australia with her take-no-
prisoners attitude and luckily,
for single mum Gabby, it
hasn’t gone unnoticed.
Making a good impression
with Channel Nine executives,
the pretty blonde, 44, has
been pegged for a future
career in television.
After losing viewers when
Lisa Wilkinson jumped ship over
her equal pay dispute, network
bosses are gearing up to win
back women over 40.
‘They believe Gab may just
be able to do that,’ says an
insider. ‘People like how she has
handled herself on the show.’
Spotted at a swanky industry
event at Sydney’s Hilton Hotel, just
last week Gabby seemed very
cosy with Nine’s head of content
Adrian Swift, who was in turn
clearly thrilled to catch up with her.
