Brittany Hockley dramatically collapses at Sydney gym following marriage to Benjamin Siegrist: 'We have a woman down'
Newlywed Brittany Hockley gave fans a fright this week after collapsing at a gym in Sydney, after an intense workout session with her husband Benjamin Siegrist.
The 37-year-old former Bachelor star was filmed lying slumped over a table at VRTUS gym in Bondi, appearing completely spent.
Dressed in a white jumper and black exercise pants, Brittany appeared exhausted as she looked up at the camera and let out a cry of anguish: 'Can't'.
She then slowly zipped her white jumper over her face in apparent defeat.
The alarming clip was shared by her Swiss footballer husband, who cheekily captioned it: 'We have a woman down'.

'Still in vacay mode, to be honest,' Brittany added.
He added two laughing emojis, confirming the moment was all in jest.
It comes after Brittany was left broken-hearted after she shelled out $1,000 for a lavish wedding cake - only to be delivered a culinary disaster.
The podcaster married Swiss footballer Ben Siegrist in a clifftop ceremony in Bali earlier this month.
While Brittany's nuptials went off without a hitch, the genetically blessed couple were left red-faced at the reception when they came face to face with their 'Temu' sponge that looked like a 'four-stacked pizza'.
Last week, Brittany shared an image of the ornate sponge she ordered, complete with piped dollops of rich white cream and a vibrant topping of fresh berries, and an image of what was delivered to illustrate her heartache.
Instead of the berry-laden showstopper she hoped for, the final product resembled 'four burned pizzas slapped together' - dull, brown, and uninspired.
The disappointing dessert left Brittany and her guests in shock.
The couple's wedding took place last week at Pandawa Cliff Estate, which promises a 'dramatic and romantic clifftop setting overlooking the Indian Ocean' and stunning views of Bali's Bukit Peninsula.
Brittany was ever the blushing bride on her big day, walking down the aisle in a strapless dress by Steven Khalil which featured a lace corset with dramatic long train.
Brittany and Ben gave followers a glimpse into the nuptials, sharing a duo of loved-up snaps from the big day to Instagram.
One showed Ben romantically embracing his new bride as he leaned in for a newlywed kiss.
'From the very first day, it was you,' Brittany captioned the images.
'Across any ocean, it is you. For the rest of our lives, it will always be you. Mr and Mrs Siegrist 4.6.2025,' she added, augmenting the sentiment with love heart emojis.

Swimmers' annual nude plunge into chilly Tasmanian river marks the winter solstice – and Dark Mofo's revival
Swimmers have stripped off and raced into chilly waters on the shortest day of the year. Wearing nothing but red swim caps, 3,000 courageous souls took the annual nude sunrise plunge into Hobart's River Derwent to mark the winter solstice. The air temperature was about 10C as the naked pack took to the water at 7.40am on Saturday, sparking shrieks and yells of anguish. Liz Cannard, who has been travelling around Tasmania for nearly four months with her husband, said she was petrified before taking the dip. 'I'm not a strong swimmer and I don't take my gear off for anybody ... so I've ticked off a couple of things today,' the Geelong resident said. Lizzy Nash from Sydney was also in the mood for a bit of carpe diem. 'It's about seizing the moment, seizing life and being inspired,' she said. 'This is the sort of thing that motivates you to want to do more and challenge yourself. It was awe-inspiring and I absolutely loved it.' The free swim is part of the Dark Mofo festival and started with just a few hundred participants in 2013. Melburnian Belinda Chambers said she had been watching people do it on television for years and decided to work remotely from Tasmania for the festival so she could stay and leave on a high. 'So exhilarating,' she said. 'I was nervous, but there was this almost primal moment of everyone being together that carries you along, and a sense of pure happiness.'

The festival's artistic director, Chris Twite, said the swim was a tremendous way to bring things to a close. 'The response in 2025 has been incredible,' he said. 'The streets of Hobart have come alive with locals and visitors celebrating winter and Dark Mofo again.' More than 103,000 tickets were sold to Dark Mofo events in 2025, generating $4.6m. The festival has made a name for itself by courting controversy and in 2018 drew the ire of some by installing inverted Christian crosses along Hobart's waterfront.

Nicole Kidman's niece Lucia Hawley posts sweet birthday tribute to partner Henry Poole: 'My favourite boy'
Lucia Hawley has shared a sweet tribute to her long-term boyfriend, Henry Poole. Lucia, 27, and Henry, who have been dating for four years, generally keep their romance relatively private. But the niece of Nicole Kidman took to Instagram on Friday to share a series of photos celebrating her beau. The first showed the couple huddling close and beaming broadly as Henry held a glass of red wine. Lucia showed off her svelte form in a pink off-the shoulder dress, while Henry wore a blue shirt tucked into a pair of beige chinos. The pair looked every inch the loved-up couple as the posed under an archway on a manicured lawn. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. 'Happy birthday to my favourite boy @henrypoole,' Lucia captioned the romantic photo. A second photo showed the couple, backs to camera, walking along a rain slick road with their arms around each other. It appears that the couple were not able to celebrate Henry's birthday together, with Lucia captioning that image: 'Miss u extra today.' A third photo showed the pair enjoying a chat via Facetime. Henry could be seen taking time out from a dip in the ocean to chat to his ladylove. Lucia, meanwhile looked over the moon to be chatting to her beau, captioning the photo: 'never a dull moment.' Lucia recently revealed Henry's reaction to her 'flirty' interview with Elvis star Austin Butler. The 7Bravo reporter became very flustered while interviewing the Hollywood star, 32, at the State Theatre during the Sydney Film Festival in June last year. The interview quickly went viral causing Lucia to share her longtime boyfriend Henry's reaction to the exchange. Taking to her Instagram Stories, she joked that Henry was 'not happy' as she shared a screenshot of the comment he left underneath footage of the friendly interview. Henry hilariously penned: 'Eyes where I can see em @austinbutler,' as he poked fun at the 'flirty' chat. Reposting his comment, Lucia quipped of Henry's response: '@henrypoole_ has weighed in guys... (he's not happy).' Lucia has been dating Henry for more than three years but only spoke publicly about their relationship for the first time last year, sharing their plans to move in together in 2024. Lucia, who has followed her mother Antonia Kidman's footsteps into the world of media, revealed, last month that she's hoping to find work in London. 'I am chasing the artistic pursuit of writing. I have been keeping a journal since I was 10-years-old. I think it's pretty competitive in London in the media space, but I'm going for the experience' she told the Daily Telegraph. 'So hopefully I'll land a job in media over there either writing or in broadcast. 'I've started like cold emailing editors and a few of them have actually responded which is awesome.' Lucia said she is excited to be 'a little closer to my aunty and cousins' which she called 'a real comfort.' Her aunt Nicole, who is based in Nashville, will now be a much shorter flight away than she was when Lucia was based in Australia. Lucia started her TV career after studying Arts at the elite University of Sydney. Following her degree and internship at Vogue Australia, she started working at a production company as an assistant and later applied for a job at 9Honey — Channel Nine's women's network. She eventually landed a role with NBC Universal, who launched 7Bravo in 2022, a role she left last year.
