A Married At First Sight star has opened up about his sister’s death with a heartbreaking post. Ash Galati has spoken about the tragedy on social media as he has said “life can be so unfair”.
The 33-year-old, who appeared on the Australian version of the iconic show, took to his Instagram page to announce that his sister had died after a battle with cancer.
Ash shared a collection of photos of his sister as he told his followers about the sad news. He wrote: “My beautiful sister Cass, I know you hated social media. We all loved you; you didn’t deserve this ending. It was so unfair.

“Life can be so unfair. Without even trying, you shaped so much of my life. You were the reason I didn’t steer down a bad path. I remember you vividly telling me, as a 15-year-old, that if I got arrested, you’d kill me and that I couldn’t get arrested because you would get in trouble at work.”
Ash went on to say that one of the main reasons he chose to go on the 2024 series of MAFS was due to his sister, Cass.
He added: “The reason I applied for that show was that you said you’d watch it during chemo; if I got on, then forced me to apply, only to second guess after producers started ringing.
“You’re the reason I travelled so much and shared a lifetime of memories together. You’re the reason I saw good in people.
“You were a risk-taker, a good cop – the ones you see in the movies. This shouldn’t have been your ending. Forever broken, fly high, sis.”
Alongside the sweet photos, Ash also posted a photo of a message that his sister that written for his before she died.
It read: “You are the greatest brother in the whole world. Always there to help out whenever I need you. So proud of the person you are and so grateful you are my brother.”
Friends and fans of Ash took to the comment section to share their well wishes. MAFS star, Tori Adams commented: “Oh Ash. my deepest deepest condolences to you and your family.”
Another MAFS star Jack Dunkley said: “Your sister would be so proud of you Ash. Your generosity & your gift you bring into people’s life. She is in a better place my guy RIP Cass.”

A follower wrote: “Oh god ash… Im so sorry. Absolutely devastating. Sending endless love & my deepest condolences man.”
Ash first found fame when he married psychic medium Madeleine Maxwell during 2024’s Married At First Sight Australia. Unfortunately things didn’t work out for the couple after they went through a rocky relationship on the show.

When women shop for new underwear, there are plenty of different options to help lift, smooth, support and sculpt, especially when it comes to bras. However the same can’t be said for men’s underwear, which generally falls into a choice of boxers, briefs or shorts.
But Marks and Spencer is about to change all of that, as it launches its brand new Secret Support Trunks . The new supportive boxers give “a subtle lift and enhanced fit through clever, discreet design” according to Mitch Hughes, director of menswear at M&S via The Guardian , and act similarly to a push up bra for women.

Priced at £28 for a pack of three, the new Secret Support Trunks come in both black and white and sizes small to XL. The boxers feature the retailer’s new Secret Support internal pouch, which has been designed to provide exceptional comfort, added support, and a discreet lift.
Influencer Tom Sheard shared his thoughts on the new design during his Instagram ad with the brand. In his post, Tom said: “Boys — let’s talk about size. Kinda. @marksandspencerman have just launched Secret Support — the first men’s boxers with a discreet internal pouch designed to give you… a subtle two-inch lift. Think of it as a little boost for the boys — comfort, shape, and confidence, all in a boxer!”
Mitch Hughes added that the Secret Support Trunks are all about “Helping men feel their most confident”, and they’re great for giving some extra lift and support whenever it’s needed. Although the design is new to M&S, these aren’t actually the only lifting and supporting boxers on the market.
Vocla has a whole range of “Push up, support and lifting underwear” to shop, including different styles like briefs and trunks, and lots of colourways to choose from. Elsewhere at Step One you can pick up a pair of Trunks for £6 (down from £15) which have a 3D comfort pouch to keep everything separated, with bamboo viscose material to prevent sweating and chafing.

With Christmas on the horizon, if you’ve got a partner who’s notoriously tricky to buy for, might these ultra-supportive trunks be one to add to his Christmas list this year? That’s for you to decide!
Robbie Williams has opened up about using weight loss jabs to keep on top of his weight but he has been experiencing different side effects

Robbie Williams has said that he’s a “different person” since taking Mounjaro for weight loss, but there are some devastating side effects he has experienced as a result.
The singer has opened up about using the jab to keep on top of his weight, which he said has made him a different person. He explained that he has found he has a “lack of mental anguish” since using the medication.
The 51-year-old has been honest about his mental health over the years and has said this has improved a lot over the last decade. Robbie has been using Mounjaro for weight loss purposes.

Speaking to The Sun, he said: “The lack of mental anguish that I’ve felt since I’ve been on Mounjaro is completely and utterly liberating.
“And maybe that’s got something to do with my continuous upward curve into feeling actually all right on the planet. For the longest time, mentally, I’ve not been very well.
“And it would seem that in the last ten years, the clouds have cleared, and I’m a different person. I’m one of those people that likes working out now: Stretching, discipline, taking care of myself.” Robbie said that he was an “early adapter” of the jabs but found there was one negative side effect that impacted him quite a lot.
He said that he has found that since using the jabs, his eyesight has gone significantly downhill. A US study found last year that patients using some fat jabs for Type 2 diabetes were four times more likely to be diagnosed with non-arteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy (NAION).
This is a lack of blood flow to the optic nerve, which may then lead to sight loss. The UK’s Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency has received 296 reports of eye disorders thought to be linked to Mounjaro.
164 of the claims said the drug had damaged their vision, but scientists have not agreed that the medicines cause the condition.
Robbie noticed that his eyesight had got worse since using the drug. He said that he has found he struggles to see people while he is on stage performing, particularly when he is singing ‘You’re The One’.
He said he doesn’t think the eyesight deterioration is down to age but instead is down to the jabs. Robbie’s prescription has changed, which has meant that he has had to buy a “whole new load” of glasses.

But this hasn’t put him off, as he went on to say that he would still use the drug “until the sight in one eye has completely gone”.
This is despite being told at a meet and greet by a fan that their friend has “gone blind” from weight loss jabs. He then joked that he then asked if her friend looks good though in his typical humour.
It’s just over one month before Adam Peaty says ‘I do’ to Holly Ramsay at a grand Christmas Day wedding ceremony, but chaos has erupted this week over a family fall-out

The Peaty family is said to be in turmoil just weeks before Adam Peaty’s wedding to Holly Ramsay, with devoted mum Caroline Peaty “heartbroken” after reportedly being “banned” from the grand Christmas Day nuptials at Bath Abbey. But this isn’t the first time the Peatys have had to deal with heartache.
Brewing tensions erupted after the Olympian’s mother was mysteriously left out of influencer Holly’s glamorous hen do at Soho Farmhouse, and her sister Louise Williams has not held back on the apparent snub. Addressing Holly directly via social media, Adam’s aunt wrote: “I expected better of you and definitely of Adam. You have inflicted a hurt on my sister that will take a very long time to heal if ever.”
Elsewhere, Louise claimed that Adam, 30, and Holly, 25, banned Caroline from the wedding because she did not apologise for not attending a recent family trip to Bath due to cancelled trains. The gold medallist has also allegedly barred his mum from seeing her grandson, George. It’s now believed that Adam’s sister, Bethany, will be the only family member from his side to watch him tie the knot, as many of those invited were reportedly unable to afford the cost of accommodation and travel.
Here, the Mirror takes a look at some of the other heartaches that have plagued the Peaty clan…

Adam’s troubling spiral
On New Year’s Eve 2022, Adam described the year that had just passed as having been the “toughest” of his life, in a candid post about his “demons”. The swimmer wrote: “I wasn’t going to say anything, but 2022 was the toughest year of my life so far. Mentally and physically, it has pushed me every day, and from injury to personal issues, it has forced me to grow. I have so much to be thankful for, such as the great team around me, but also the amazing people, such as my family and friends. My boy is happy and healthy, and that is all I can ask for; @eirimunro I couldn’t ask for a better mother for George.
“Life is never going to be easy, and it can get exhausting when you have to tell your demons to p**s off when they’re roaming around your head. I welcome 2023 and its lessons. LFG.”
Back in 2020, Adam opened up to the Mail Online about reaching his ‘deepest low’ after the 2018 Commonwealth Games, which saw him take a loss in the 50m race. Known for his extraordinary speed, Adam suddenly became plagued by self-doubt, admitting: “There wasn’t really that much belief in myself.”
It was then that Adam started to spiral, turning to booze and partying instead of his great love of swimming. He confided, “After the Commonwealths, towards the end of the year, I didn’t have any races. And when you involve off-season and you involve partying and drinking, that’s a depressant in itself, so I was doing that a lot. I kind of, not went off the rails, but I didn’t really have that overwhelming motivation to perform at something. And I am a performer, so if I don’t have something to perform at, I completely lose my track.
“Add that in with all that partying and stuff, it wasn’t that great to have that all at once. Then you are on this low where you can’t really enjoy anything, you don’t really see the point of buying nice things or doing nice things, because you don’t get a high out of it any more. It took a long while to recognise what was important to me and what wasn’t. I have found that thankfully now. I know exactly how to treat my body, how to treat my mind, and it’s not by forcing alcohol as much as you can.”
Brotherly fall-out
Adam and his brother Jamie fell out in 2021 following the release of the former Strictly Come Dancing star’s autobiography, in which he addressed his siblings’ “demons”, including previous drug usage. However, they soon moved past this, and Jamie was said to have been asked to be a groomsman at the upcoming wedding.
Sadly, their bond broke down again in June this year, when James was working on a building project for Adam. A source claims that since Adam’s engagement, their relationship had hit an all-time low. James was said to have been “upset” about the comments Adam made in his autobiography, which saw him portrayed as a “bum”.
This week it emerged that James has been arrested over allegations he sent threats to the sportsman during his stag weekend. Earlier this week, Adam, 30, was met by police as he arrived at Manchester Airport following his stag do in Budapest. But while in Budapest, with his future father-in-law, Adam was said to have become alarmed after receiving text messages, with Holly alerting the police. His older brother, James, 34, was arrested at his home in Uttoxeter, Staffordshire, on Monday and has since been bailed.
A spokesperson for Staffordshire Police said: “We arrested a 34-year-old man, from the Uttoxeter area, on November 11, 2025, on suspicion of harassment. The man was released on conditional bail while our enquiries continue.”
Meanwhile, Adam’s dad has now spoken out for the first time, saying things have gotten out of hand between the family. Mark told The Sun: “They’re brothers, they’ve always been close, but like any normal family, brothers fight, argue, fall out, make up and start all over again.
“But it’s got out of hand, there’s been very little empathy towards Jamie’s genuine mental health difficulties.” A source told the same newspaper that Adam believes his mother, Caroline, has been enabling Jamie’s alleged behaviour. They went on to state it was “ridiculous” that Adam was greeted by police, as Jamie had no intentions of harming his brother.
Sad break-up
Before finding love with Holly, Adam was in a three-year relationship with Eirianned Munro, a Welsh artist he met while training at Loughborough University. At that time, Eirianned, now 27, was just starting out in her creative career, studying for a degree in Fine Art.
Sparks flew, and Holly and Adam began dating in 2019. The following year, the young couple welcomed their son George, now five, with Adam often sharing happy family snaps in between his gruelling training schedule.
In August 2022, Adam announced that they had decided to part ways after a “wonderful three years together”. Taking to Instagram at the time, Adam wrote: “Eiri and I have decided to go our separate ways. We have enjoyed a wonderful three years together, 2 of those with our gorgeous son George.
“Our priority has always been to provide the happiest and healthiest home environment for him, and right now that means ending our romantic relationship. I could not ask for a greater mother for George, and I am so grateful to Eiri for her amazing support over the last three years.
“Eiri and George, I’m sorry for letting you down. My only interest is for the well-being of our family at this difficult time, so I ask that our privacy is respected, and I won’t be saying anything further.”
Opening up to The Sun on Sunday in 2024, Eirianned, who has remained on good terms with the father of her child, revealed that Adam’s time on Strictly Come Dancing marked “the beginning of the end” of their romantic relationship, remembering this as a “lonely” time.
She reflected: “I think it helped us realise what we wanted in life. Sadly, if it wasn’t for Strictly, it would’ve been something else. I’m grateful we found out we were not meant for each other sooner rather than later, for the sake of our young son.”
In another interview with the Mail Online, Eirianned spoke warmly about Adam’s now-fiancée, Holly, praising her as “nothing but a positive presence in our lives”. She added, “She is so gentle and kind, I couldn’t wish for a better stepmother for my son. We’re so glad about the news and are wishing them the best.”
More recently, however, a source has claimed to the Sun that Eiri, who lives in Wales with her sister and George, is “shocked” by the recent family row, and wants no part in it. Emphasising that Eiri remains close with Adam’s mum, Caroline, the source said: “She has George living with her and has done an incredible job at raising him. She’s an amazing mum. It’s a far cry from Adam’s life with Holly Ramsay, but she’s really happy.
“Eiri would never speak badly of Adam – he has provided for their son and helped ensure he has a very comfortable life. She is also a big fan of Holly. But she is shocked by everything that’s been going on.”

Married At First Sight stars Ryan Gallagher confirmed his separation from Emily Seebohm in an Instagram post where he also gives fans a breakdown of his recent date

MAFS Australia star Ryan Gallagher confirms split with Emily Seebohm(Image: Instagram/ryangallaghergram)
Married At First Sight Australia’s Ryan Gallagher and Emily Seebohm have called time on their engagement. They were hailed as one of the most successful couples of their series back in 2020.
The couple, who share a son named Sampson, has been the subject of speculation over recent months regarding the status of their romance. And now, in an Instagram post, Ryan made the decision to share the heartbreaking news with his followers. Within his post, he also recalled a date he had gone on that did not go according to plan.
The reality TV star, 37, who is once again looking for love, revealed: “I went on a date on Sunday, I don’t go on too many dates, I’ve only just sort of started doing that. “
He added: “We went to the movies and I was starving—I hadn’t eaten and she’d already eaten. During the movie, I got a slider and chips, but it wasn’t one of those loud movies, it was like a quiet one.”
Instead of chewing his food normally, to avoid the annoying chewing sound, he opted to swallow his food.
He continued: “I tried to clear it, and as I did, I burped, and it was pretty loud. Lo and behold, she said our energies didn’t align, which I didn’t think they did, either. It worked out OK, but when she sent me that message, she said she didn’t want to go on another date, and then I got out of my car and a bird s*** on my face.”
Speaking about being back on the dating scene after appearing on a reality TV show, Ryan added: “I’ve always said whenever they do casting for reality, they literally drive a bus to the mental ward and go, “Quick, get in, we’ll take you on a ride,” and then they go and start filming. We’re all a bit… I wouldn’t say out there, but I’m a bit hyper. And if I’m on a date and I get a bit nervous, I think I’m a little bit more hyper, which doesn’t do anyone any favours, especially me.”
And this is perhaps why he believes that those who decide to join reality TV shows such as MAFS tend to date one another as they share the same mindset.
He went on to say: “I think that’s why you also find a lot of people in reality date each other, because it’s just crackers and crackers meet each other and sometimes it works. I know it didn’t work in my case.”
Ryan and Emily appeared on the show in 2018 which aired two years later. But their relationship appeared to be on a downward spiral as many noticed the fragility of their romance in April.

The first tell-tale sign was they unfollowed each other on Instagram. And according to Sky News Australia, the couple realised their relationship was not working two years after their son was born. The source told the broadcaster at then time: “
Ryan and Emily are trying to find a new normal, which has been a real process. Their number one priority is Sampson and ensuring he continues to feel supported by both parents. They haven’t felt the need to make public statements.”

Adam Peaty’s mum reveals she sold things online in order to buy a dress for his wedding
Adam Peaty’s mum was forced to sell things to raise cash for his wedding. In recent months, the Olympian and his family have endured a strained relationship, and it has reached a crisis point.
His family, apart from his sister, have been uninvited to his upcoming wedding to Holly Ramsay next month. But tensions started brewing a while back, according to his devastated mother, Caroline. Last weekend, Holly, the daughter of chef Gordon and his wife Tana, enjoyed her hen do at Shoreditch House, surrounded by her glamorous friends and family.
Meanwhile, Team GB icon Adam’s mum was at home in Uttoxeter, looking after his son from a previous relationship. Adam was also in Budapest for his stag do, with guests including his soon-to-be father-in-law, but sources have claimed that Caroline didn’t fit the image of Holly and her pals, meaning she wasn’t included.
However, Caroline had been extremely excited for his wedding, but now faces the devastating reality of not being there. Prior to their fallout, Adam had offered to pay for all of her costs, including dress, shoes, nails and hair. Caroline said she would have needed four dresses for the entire event.
She had chosen a cream dress, which she had hoped to wear with navy blue accessories. “He told me ‘Only a bride wears white,’ to which I replied ‘It’s not white, it’s cream,'” she told the Daily Mail. While Caroline has returned this dress, she has kept one.
She decided to keep a gold two-piece with a matching fascinator and the shoes, which she had paired with the dress, which cost a staggering £452. Speaking of the dress and how she afforded it, Caroline revealed: “Do you know how I raised that money? I sold some things on Vinted.”
Despite the fallout, Caroline admits that she still very much loves her son and he will always be welcome at their family home in Staffordshire. She revealed that on her journey home after dropping Adam’s son off with his mother, she felt as though she “didn’t want to live” anymore.
“This has broken me,” she told the outlet. Adam’s older brother, James, affectionately known as Jim, was asked to be a groomsman at the wedding on December 27, but he has also been uninvited. Earlier this week, James was arrested and later bailed after allegedly sending threats to Adam while he was on his stag do.
Sources have claimed that Adam’s mother, Caroline, has been enabling James’ alleged behaviour. They went on to add that he had no intentions of harming his brother. Caroline’s sister, Louise, has also hit out at her nephew and Holly on social media. She fumed: “Yes. Adam is a born-again Christian. He’s not living by the tenets of Christianity is he? Where is ‘honour thy mother and thy father’ where is the forgiveness?”

Addressing Holly and Adam saying she had to wear a different dress for the event, Louise commented: “How can Adam and Holly ‘source’ sit there and say Caroline wasn’t invited because of the way my sister looks? She doesn’t suit the look Holly is looking for?! WTF body shaming a 60-year-old woman! Jesus Christ on a cracker!”
Holly and Adam are yet to comment on the family feud, despite attempts from the Mirror.
