Matty's enjoying some well deserved time off in Europe with his man, so today B wanted to have a little heart to heart moment and answer some big questions that you might have about her and her life!

What did she do before the Bachelor?
When did she first know she liked girls?
Who was her first love?
Is she friends with any paparazzi?
Does she see herself as an influencer?
And how is her relationship with Mia going?

Enjoy! x

You've probably seen the Booktok Boy drama not only on TikTok, but now in your newsfeed as well. an ex-NRL player AND ex-Bachelor has scored a book deal from going viral on TikTok talking about spicy books... Is that all it takes?

Today we're joined by Bigambul and Wakka Wakka woman, author and Dr Melanie Saward who wants the publishing world to give authors of colour the same opportunities!

Plus, she also happens to be Brooke's co-author on her new book, so of course we chat about that as well as why First Nations stories don't all have to be sad.
