Tammy Hembrow sends a touching tribute to her sister as her violent brother is released from jail after sickening crimes against his ex-girlfriend
Tammy Hembrow is celebrating a family member's milestone day following her brother's release from prison, after he pleaded guilty to a series of domestic violence offences.
Fitness influencer Tammy, 31, took to Instagram on Friday morning to share a touching tribute to her older sister Amy on her 35th birthday.
In a series of photos posted to her 17million followers, Tammy reflected on her life alongside her sister with sweet throwback photos of them as children.
'Happy birthday to my big sissy!!' she captioned her post.
'Thank you for always being there for me. And for loving me through every season & through every version of me.

'You've wiped my tears, told me the truth even when I didn't want to hear it, and given advice (even when I refuse to listen).'
She concluded: 'Your strength, your heart, your loyalty… I'm endlessly grateful for it all. I hope you know how deeply loved & appreciated you are today and every day!'
Responding in the comments, Amy wrote, 'always & 4eva.'
On Thursday, Tammy's half-brother Henri Oscar Thynne was released from prison after pleading guilty to 17 charges relating to domestic violence offences against his ex-girlfriend.
Thynne, 21, admitted to charges including common assault, stalking and two counts of strangulation in the Brisbane District Court on Thursday, where a judge described him as a 'menace'.
He was sentenced to a maximum three years in prison - but a minimum sentence that ended today, given time already served at Queensland's high security Arthur Gorrie Correctional Centre.
The court heard that during one incident, the then-couple were watching a movie together when Thynne hit her in the head and called her a 'c**t'.
On another occasion he pushed her against a wall and choked her while saying 'I own you'.
Thynne's victim - who cannot be named for legal reasons - bravely read out loud a powerful victim impact statement recounting the impact his violence has had on her.
'I question my safety in everyday situations. This experience has left lasting marks on my life,' she began.
'(Before the assaults) I was a happy, confident and expressive person through my personality, social media and network interactions with other people.'
The court heard she was now so fearful that she packed up and moved interstate twice.
'Since experiencing the abuse and assaults from him, I have changed.
'I had to relocate homes two times in two different states to attempt to feel safe, but no matter where I went, it was flooded with anxiety and fear that I would be confronted by him.'
Thynne showed little emotion while sitting in the dock, occasionally rocking back and forth with his head to the ground.
Defence barrister Greg McGuire said the couple had an 'odd' relationship with both of them being bodybuilders who used steroids during their relationship.
A medical report stated that Thynne had diminished emotional control and impaired judgement due to severe steroid use since the age of 16.
Thynne's parents Nathaniel Thynne and mother Nathalie Stanley did not appear to be in court during the sentencing.
Soon after sentencing concluded the victim posted a stark warning on her social media page.
'Lock your doors!! A criminal has been set free in Brisbane even after pleading guilty to everything!' the post began.
'Pre warning - he pleaded guilty to sexual assault, assault, strangulation x2 and unlawful charges like breaches of the DVO (domestic violence order) and bail and still got released on parole!'
'Law legislation needs some work… this is not acceptable and best believe it will not be the last time you hear from me about it,' she concluded.
Prior to Thynne's imprisonment last July he took to social media Q&A after being asked if his musculature was 'natty', or natural.
Instead of answering yes or no, Henri replied with a meme that read: 'That's a nice argument you have there. Unfortunately my muscles are bigger than yours.'
He added that he had been 'tired of being a small sad nerd c***' and boasted that his buff physique was a result of 'hard work paying off'.
'Not gonna stop 'till I'm number one,' he said.
In recent months Thynne's crimes have caused grief for his high-profile older half-sibling Tammy, 31, who faced fierce public backlash last month after publicly denying rumours she was supporting him.
In a TikTok clip that has since clocked more than two million views, Hembrow denied that she bailed out her younger brother, stating she's not involved in 'any of the legal situation'.
'I don't usually address things like this, but this is a very serious topic, and what's being said about me is just not true,' she said.
'Firstly, I have had no involvement whatsoever in ever bailing my little brother out of anything.
'I'm not involved in any of the legal situation. I've [had] no contact with my brother. I haven't seen my brother.
'I'm not involved at all, in any way. So I wanted to make that clear.'
She then explained that she doesn't condone 'violence in any form' and reiterated that her 'heart goes out to everyone involved'.

Going to watch the British & Irish Lions in action? Read this first
This is experience-of-a-lifetime stuff. If you're one of the lucky ones travelling to Australia for the British and Irish Lions tour this summer, you'll need a plan to make the most of this truly exceptional sporting holiday. Whether you are all in for every match or happy to make the most of time between key fixtures, there's a wealth of diversions to discover in and around the Test cities of Brisbane, Melbourne and Sydney, and ample time during the 'down week' between the final two Test matches to go inland to the heart of Australia. Here's a primer on what to see where — and why — as the spectacle takes shape. Weekend in the cityBrisbane can be overlooked on east coast itineraries but Queensland's capital has it all: fantastic city beaches, glittering skyscrapers and great nightlife. It's also a perfect jumping-off point for trips to Fraser Island, a sand island where you can spot wild dingoes. But you don't need to venture far from this vibrant city for a taste of the good life. This is a great time to visit Australia's largest contemporary art collection, housed at Brisbane's Gallery of Modern Art, or Goma. Running on the expansive ground-floor galleries until October, the Wonderstruck exhibition (free entry) features artists' responses to the idea of 'awe' and includes a delightfully bonkers assortment of work from names including Nick Cave. For guaranteed fun, meanwhile, it would be mad to miss out on Fortitude Valley, the city's entertainment precinct. This is the right kind of adult entertainment, with interesting boutiques, top-notch coffee shops, Brisbane's best restaurants and the renowned Fortitude Music Hall, where the first Darts Down Under event will take place on July 20, to coincide with the Lions series, featuring rugby legends in a showdown against darts greats. Because, well, why not? Tickets at Allow plenty of time to amble through Brisbane Botanic Gardens, with its impressive tropical display dome and the bamboo grove. Free guided tours are worth booking to see the best bits of the 56 hectares. If you have kids with you, the Planetarium has lots of engaging events and displays. Another gorgeous place for a stroll is Roma Street Parkland. Keep your eye out on warm days and you might spot an eastern water dragon, Australia's largest dragon lizard, by the water — they can change colour according to their mood, temperature or sunlight. You can order a picnic hamper from the garden café, or make like a local and fire up one of the free barbecues. If you're feeling more adventurous, take on the Kangaroo Point Cliffs. Rock climb or abseil the 20m cliffs for the best views of the city and river. Or play it safe and get a CityCat, a catamaran ferry, and see Brisbane from the water, then stroll up to Kangaroo Point Park. Bring a picnic and, if you're lucky, Brisbane Jazz Club might be playing. If you've more energy to burn, you can climb the Story bridge or kayak down the river. Midweek exploration Located a 45-minute drive from Brisbane's centre, meanwhile, Flinders Peak Winery merits the trip. Book ahead for a A$20 tour of the winery and distillery, where the shiraz and the gin are equally lip-smacking. Back in Brisbane, you could do considerably worse than spend a day at Felons Barrel Hall, where all six Lions matches will be shown on the big screens, and the on-site brewery completes the scene; Elaine Prendeville Weekend in the city On first impressions, Melbourne is a mixture of daring architecture and funky skyscrapers sitting beside grungy Victorian neighbourhoods. It is a place of street art and graffiti but also a place where jaywalking is frowned upon. The Yarra River runs through the centre of the city. There are plenty of boat tours, and renting floating water bikes is a novel way to see the city. The older part of Melbourne is to the north of the river, while the southern bank is now a major urban redevelopment complete with a river walkway, restaurants, bars, shops and entertainers. It's public space done well. Off the main streets are Melbourne's famous lanes, which have decent pubs such as the Mitre or else try the buzzy alfresco restaurants on Hardware Lane. Melbourne's Central Business District (CBD) is compact. All the trams are free in the centre and the 45 takes an orbital route. It's an old-fashioned tram and a fun ride. There are Lime electric bikes and a couple of other bike apps. It takes maybe ten minutes to get from one side to the other, although it's a bit hilly. The famous suit of armour worn by the Irish-Australian gangster Ned Kelly is in the State Library in the centre of town. It's smart to hop on one of the free tours to put Kelly in context. He's either a police-shooting gangster or an early social revolutionary. Chinatown is wonderful for authentic nosh. The QVM or Queen Victoria Market is a food market by day but, on Wednesday nights, it becomes an entertainment venue with food trucks, bars, music, DJs and hipster shopping. The Philippine pork skewers are off the charts, although sugar-cane juice is something to be tried just once. Melbourne's other food markets are definite destinations. There is terrific fresh fish in the South Melbourne market, which is a couple of tram stops out. Half a crayfish and some cooked scallops and oysters will cost about A$45 (€25). • 35 of the best things to do in Australia You have to drink the local poison, which is either Victoria Bitter or Carlton. Each region of Australia has its own local beer and it's rather competitive. Melbourne has a couple of floating bars, which are slick places for a schooner or two. Afloat and Yarra Botanica are the best. The Yarra Valley produces some excellent vino too. The Quincy or Q rooftop bar is a good spot for a night-time cocktail. There's a beautiful view of the city and if you are lucky you might spot the Southern Cross or Alpha Centauri — stars that are visible mainly in the Southern Hemisphere. Midweek explorationPhillip Island is about two hours' drive from Melbourne. It's home to the largest little penguin colony in the world. Book your ticket to the Penguin Parade online, and do so early as it sells out fast. There is an interpretive centre with a restaurant at the end of the island. A beautiful cliff walk takes you close to penguin nesting burrows. A sign notes that tourists should leave the brown snakes alone, as there's no anti-venom available. Tickets are A$33 (€19) for an adult. At dusk the first penguin appears in the surf and sticks its head up. Then another. And another. They gingerly group together in bands of maybe ten and slowly shuffle up the beach. You might see 100, or it could be 2,000, depending on the night. It's quite magical, positively uplifting and a remarkable scene of nature. Bring a coat — you'll feel the chill. The Great Ocean Road, as the name suggests, winds along the coastline, with great views on the drive. Small towns like Lorne or Torquay are good spots to stop for ice cream or lunch. Sulphur-crested cockatoos, white ibis or some other wild bird will swamp your picnic table. We stopped at the Sheoak waterfall, which is a walk of about an hour through a tropical forest — imagine the set of I'm a Celebrity … Get Me Out of Here! and you'll get the picture. The sounds of the birds, especially the kookaburra, are genuinely memorable. Nick Webb Weekend in the citySydney, as you might have heard, is the business. It's one of the most magnetic, dynamic and refreshing cities in the world, set across probably the most stunning locale of any metropolis. The Lions play twice in Sydney, almost a month apart. The first fixture is July 5 against the New South Wales Waratahs; the second is the third Test against the Wallabies on August 2. Yes, it will be winter, but this is Sydney: the daytime average temperature will be roughly 17C, with a night-time average of 8C, and typically six to seven hours of sunshine each day. Get your bearings on day one by taking the most stunning short city walk in the world, from the Opera House to the headland of Mrs Macquarie's Chair, stopping off at the harbourside Botanic Gardens (free entry). Snuggled between the Opera House and the southern abutment of the Harbour Bridge is Circular Quay and, to its immediate western flank, the Rocks. This is party central each evening when the Lions are in town. You'll have classic old-school boozers (that is, former 19th-century 'hotels' that have since dropped all rooms) such as the Lord Nelson and the Orient, but then there are more contemporary outfits like the Australian (try the pizza) and the Glenmore or Bar Lulu (both with enviable, elevated views of the harbour). If you're a whisky lover, the Doss House is for you. You also have the Aster (on the 32nd storey at the InterContinental) or Jimmy's Rooftop, about 500m further south in the CBD. Most of these bars have strong menus too, although your best bet for food at the Rocks is the Collective. Also at the Rocks are 90-minute leisurely guided walkabouts that discuss Sydney's natural landscape and seasons, and the ancient, indigenous culture, including the Dreamtime. There are daily tours at 10.30am and 1.30pm, starting from A$99 (€56) per tour ( Over the weekend of the Waratahs match (July 5 and 6), go along to this fair celebrating contemporary indigenous Australian art, design, food and culture at the Rocks. It's billed as 'an ethical marketplace' that allows you to buy artworks directly from Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander artists based in remote, community-owned art centres from all corners of this mesmerising, massive nation, with postage home (of any bought works) also available ( A$3/€1.70 entry). Also nearby is the Museum of Contemporary Art Australia, which is always a good bet, regardless of the year or season ( A$20/€11), while from early June to late October, there will be a standout light and sound exhibition by Cerith Wyn Evans (A$35/€20). • 14 exciting ways to see Australia (and its unexpected highlights) Roughly 1.5km southwest of Circular Quay is Darling Harbour, which has a terrific selection of restaurants and pubs, as the waterfront promenade angles north to Barangaroo. At the far south of Darling Harbour is Tumbalong Park, a pedestrian zone typically hosting mini fan zones for big sporting events. The city experiences not to miss? With at least four types of climbs you can book, and different times of day/night you can experience them, there's no excuse not to take on Sydney Harbour Bridge. They tend to be a three-hour experience in full, with two of those being on the bridge, with prices starting from about A$270/€150 ( Midweek explorationSpoiler alert but the Blue Mountains aren't blue any more than Greenland is green. But the mountains do have some magical energy or magnetism to them that I don't think I've ever experienced anywhere else on the planet. So get yourself out there on a guided (minibus) day trip from Sydney. There's a range of providers offering comparable packages, with pick-ups/drop-offs from your hotel and lunch/snacks/coffees through the ten-hour day, with prices starting from A$120/€68 (see If you're keen to explore the valley, stay overnight at the utterly charming Lilianfels Resort and Spa. It's close enough that you can rise early to beat the crowds, and is a lush place to put your feet up after conquering the Giant Stairway's 998 steps. Jamie Ball

Princess Andre reveals emotional dad Peter has been left 'sobbing' by her upcoming 18th birthday as she breaks her silence on split from boyfriend ahead of marking the milestone
Princess Andre has revealed her upcoming 18th birthday has left dad Peter 'sobbing' as he struggles to come to terms with her 'growing up'. The daughter of the singer and Katie Price, who celebrates the milestone June 29, has also broken her silence on her recent split from her unnamed boyfriend following two years of dating. She told The Sun: '[My Dad] so proud and so supportive, but I think it's hard to see your kid get older, he was the first person I took for a drive in the new car'. Last month Princess was forced to hit back at fans who accused her of not buying new £10k car herself, after shared snaps of her new white Audi A1 to Instagram. 'We were listening to music and suddenly I heard him sobbing. I was like: "Are you OK?" And he admitted it was hard for him to see me grow up'. Moving onto her personal life she said: 'I'm feeling good. I've always kept my personal life personal, so I don't talk too much about it, but now is the time to focus on me, I want to get my career to exactly where I want it.' Despite now being of legal age to drink, the influencer said she had no plans for wild nights on the town but would be opting instead for quiet visits to the pub with pals. Peter, 52, previously shared fears his daughter was growing up too fast but said he was starting to 'loosen the reigns' as she got older. He told to The Sun: 'It's hard because you're so strict as a parent, but as time goes on you start letting the reigns go a little bit. You don't want to let them go too much too quick.' He also explained that the likelihood of the teen doing a reality show like Love Island was definitely off the cards, but he may not have as much say as time goes on. 'I don't even know the words Love Island. Those two words don't go together in my house,' he jested. Last month it was reported that Princess had split from her boyfriend after her busy career left 'no place for a man', just a year after declaring that she was 'in love'. According to reports Princess, who kept much of her relationship out of the public eye, will be doing the same with the 'tough' break up. The teen first went public with their romance when she invited him along to her mother Katie's 45th birthday celebrations in Brighton in May 2023. Last month it was reported that Princess had split from her boyfriend after her busy career left 'no place for a man', just a year after declaring that she was 'in love' Katie then appeared on Jamie Laing's Private Parts podcast, where she opened up on her thoughts about the romance. Discussing her Christmas plans at the time, she revealed: 'Princess and her boyfriend are coming up with me for the weekend.' Jamie excitedly interrupted: 'Princess has a boyfriend!' causing Katie to reply: 'I know, Ed. He's alright actually.' Describing their relationship, she continued: 'I watch them, and they argue, then they laugh. They argue like proper little teenagers. 'They're both like jealous of each other and it's like, "Oh shut up you two!" They are funny together, they're like a little married couple.' Katie then spoke about her parenting rules for the couple, saying she was 'easygoing' because she remembers how she was at their age. However, Princess' dad Peter has admitted he was 'struggling' with the news that his daughter was dating and told Woman magazine: 'I'm not happy about this at all. I'm struggling beyond belief, but that's life. We've had many chats. I have very strict rules in my house.' Despite Katie making her name, and her millions, as a reality television star it was recently reported that daughter Princess isn't quite so impressed by her mother's star quality because she will not feature on her forthcoming ITV show. MailOnline revealed that Katie will not appear on the fly-on-the-wall programme which will see influencer Princess become a celebrity in her own right but her dad Peter, step-mum Emily and older brother Junior are all to have parts in the series. The programme will follow her work and home life as she prepares to reach the milestone age and last month, the popular teenager was spotted with a camera crew outside the London offices of hair styling brand GHD. A television insider told MailOnline: 'Katie will not be in Princess's show, the decision has been made and it's final. 'Princess loves her mum, and they have a great relationship, but the show is all about her work and home life. 'Television bosses were adamant that nothing was to be 'staged' to include Katie as it would not be a real and truthful insight into her life.' Peter, who shot to fame in the noughties with his hit Mysterious Girl, has brought Junior and Princess up along with wife Emily, 35, with whom he has three children, Amelia, 11, eight-year-old Theo and daughter Arabella, who was born in April 2025. Meanwhile, Katie has son Harvey from her relationship with footballer Dwight Yorke as well as Jett, 12, and Bunny, 11, from her marriage to Kieran Hayler.

Call On Me music video star, 44, shows off her incredible figure in ab-flashing gym gear two decades after THAT steamy video for Eric Prydz's hit
The star of the Call on Me music video has been showing off her incredible physique 21 years after the Eric Prydz dancefloor number one. Deanne Berry, 44, now a dance instructor, showed off her ageless figure in eye-popping snaps shared to her Instagram page. In one gorgeous snap, Deanne showed off her washboard abs as she posed up a storm in a gym bralet and figure-hugging bike shorts. It has been two decades since her dance moves catapulted her to global fame in Eric Pryd's music video, but she is still showing off her skills online. Having since retired from the world of professional dancing, she now works as an online and in-person dance instructor. Deanne, who hails from Australia, specialises in 80s-inspired workshops, hen nights and events at her business Deanne Berry Bodies (DBB) Online Dance workouts. This should come as no surprise to fans of the 2004 music video, which saw her don a spandex bodysuit and headband and dance to the song that shot to the top of the UK charts. The raunchy music video and song had a clear 80s link and the track was even based on Steve Winwood's 1982 song Valerie. The video showed Deanne parading around in a thong one-piece as she wiggled her hips and showed off her moves while leading a cheeky exercise class. After its initial success, Call on Me has been reaching a new generation of fans after appearing in the new Warfare film earlier this year. It features US Navy seals watching the music video ahead of the retelling of Ray Mendoza's experiences during the Iraq War. Deanne shared a clip of the scene to her Instagram, with fans rushing to the comments section to stress that she still looks the same. They praised: 'Omg this is awesome! She must have been so excited when this came on! Fans of the former professional dancer have been praising her physique two decades on from her famous music video 'Still love this song and she's still beautiful as ever! Wait for the resurgence of this song now! Whole new fan base coming!'; 'Still hot babe!!!! I've seen you in the flesh'; 'You awoke something in the 14 year old me that day. Instantly had a crush on you then….and tbf still do.' Deanne notably describes herself as the 'Call On Me instructor' on her Instagram page. As well as running her fitness business, Deanne is now a married mother of three young children.
