Hollywood actress Hayden Panettiere has tragically died at just 36 years old from a suspected overdose. She was found unresponsive at a residence in Greenville, South Carolina, on Sunday, August 16. A true millennial icon, Hayden began acting as a child and broke through in Remember the Titans at just 10 years old, before going on to star in Heroes, Nashville and the Scream franchise. Bella is joined by Gem to unpack the devastating news in real time, reflecting on Hayden’s extraordinary career, the darker side of growing up in the Hollywood machine, and the complicated intersection of child stardom, exploitation and addiction that she spoke so openly about throughout her life.

Canberra, here we come! We are mere DAYS away from hitting the stage with our Know Thyself show, and our excitement levels have officially reached pants-wetting territory. Meanwhile, Revz may or may not have almost burnt down her house… again. Teddy is absolutely devastated after losing his favourite PJs, Isla’s first stint as a referee may also have been her last, jaw-on-the-floor moment incoming, and Iggy has officially become the most indecisive child alive, which is reeeeally testing Gem’s patience. Big feelings, questionable decisions and pre-show chaos. So, standard.

Life is absolutely LIFE-ING and, frankly, we'd like to speak to management. With showtime looming, we're operating somewhere between "is it too much?" and "we've got this." Meanwhile, Isla's latest school assignment has Revz asking why the cost-of-living crisis hasn't made its way into primary school homework, and Gem's accidentally entered the elite, bedazzled fever dream that is the solo dance competition world. Fake lashes, fake tan, too many rhinestones and an unsettling feeling. Let's unpack.

Holiday debriefs are in and let's just say our top travel tips are probably not the ones you'll find on Instagram. We chat live show prep, why Revz is suddenly feeling very nervous, and settle the age old debate of folding versus hanging because apparently this is what adulthood has come to. Then Gem reveals the one thing guaranteed to send her into a full body spiral, feet. Too many feet. Far too much foot chat.
