  1. Ash Brewer on baby news, sobriety and why she’s ready to talk about her eating disorder

    Ash Brewer on baby news, sobriety and why she’s ready to talk about her eating disorder

    You might know her as Ivy Forrester on The Bold And The Beautiful, the long-running soap opera that has been broadcast around the world for nearly 40 years. That role marked Ashleigh Brewer’s breakout in the US, after she first came to notice working in Australian children’s shows like The Sleepover Club and H20: Just Add Water, before joining the cast of Neighbours at the age of 18.    But as you’ll hear in this episode of the Stellar podcast, at 35, Ash has lived just as many lives as a character on a soap opera. Last December, she got married, and as she reveals for the first time in this interview, she is entering her third trimester as she prepares to welcome her first baby. All this has coincided with a time when Ash has never felt more comfortable in her own body, because as she also explains, she struggled with an eating disorder for several years.   Candid, raw and reflective, Ash also opens up on how she pulled together her low-key, no-fuss wedding day in just nine days, why sobriety was a key part of her recovery, and how how finding support from a strong circle of fellow Aussie expats and actors including Phoebe Tonkin, Samara Weaving and her one-time housemate and Neighbours co-star Margot Robbie helped her to heal.    If you or someone you know is struggling with an eating disorder, visit Butterfly at butterfly.org.au You can find out more about Ash Brewer on Instagram here.

    Ricki-Lee is about to make the biggest move of her career

    Ricki-Lee was just 18 when she became a household name on the second season of Australian Idol in 2004.  Thrust into the spotlight at a time when famous women’s bodies and choices were the subject of intense media and public scrutiny, Ricki-Lee was able to block out the critics and build a formidable career as a recording artist, performer, TV presenter and radio host.  Now in 2026, she’s the host of the show that kickstarted her career and she’s about to take over Nova’s breakfast time slot with her longtime drive co-host Tim Blackwell.   In this episode of the Stellar podcast, Ricki-Lee reveals what her Idol colleague and soon-to-be radio rival Kyle Sandilands is really like behind the scenes, plus she explains why she thinks people were so uncomfortable with her decision to be child-free, and how she deals with the constant comments about her body.    Nova 96.9’s Sydney breakfast show Ricki-Lee & Tim can be heard weekdays from 6am-9am starting Monday, February 9. National listeners can also tune into the show across the Nova Network every weekday from 6pm-7pm, stream the show live or catch up with the daily podcast on the Nova Player.   Watch the full episode with Ricki-Lee here.

    Sarah Aboㅤ: working with Karl Stefanovic, being “the other” and those pesky salary headlines

    Sarah Abo was just four years old when her parents moved her and her younger sisters from Syria to Australia in search of a better life.  Growing up in Melbourne, and rarely seeing people like her on TV, Sarah became determined to change that as she built a successful journalism career at SBS and then 60 Minutes.  Then, in 2023, she was thrown into the deep end when she became the co-host of the Today show, alongside Karl Stefanovic.  On today’s episode of the Stellar podcast, Sarah tells us how she’s navigated the intense media scrutiny that comes with the job, why she sees Karl as a “loving but annoying older brother”, and what it means for Australia’s diverse migrant community to see someone like her in their living rooms each morning.    Watch the full episode with Sarah Abo here.

    “Alcohol controlled me”: Dave Hughes on being sober for 33 years

    Dave Hughes has one of the most recognisable voices in the Australian entertainment industry, and has been making people laugh through his stand-up career, radio shows and regular TV appearances for more than 30 years.  But in August 2024, his breakfast radio show Hughesy, Ed and Erin was pulled from the air. Then, while he was adjusting to a new, slower pace of life in 2025, Dave broke six ribs and punctured a lung during an AFL charity game in Melbourne.  In this episode of the Stellar podcast, Dave explains why getting the sack from radio turned out to be a liberating experience, how he’s feeling almost six months on from his injury, and why he is turning his trauma into comedy gold for his new standup tour, COOKED.  For tickets and more information about Dave Hughs tour, visit https://davehughes.com.au/.

    Lise and Sarah: why 2026 is the year to dance like no-one is watching

    In 2022, best friends and business partners Lise Carlaw and Sarah Wills decided to host an afternoon dance party at a bowling club in Brisbane.  Three years later, Disco Club has become a movement, with thousands of women, between the ages of 18 and 81, turning up to dance their worries away in a safe, inclusive environment.  In this episode of the Stellar podcast, Lise and Sarah share the story behind Disco Club’s wild success, they explain why every woman needs an “ugly friend” in her life, and they reflect on the popularity of their recaps of The Golden Bachelor and why we desperately need more visibility for women over 40 on TV.  Lise and Sarah’s national Disco Club tour kicks off on March 7 in Brisbane, before heading to Melbourne, Sydney and Perth. Head here for tickets. Watch the full episode with Lise and Sarah here.
