Today star Danika Mason is left red-faced after dog Charlie causes mayhem in studio: 'What a day!'
Danika Mason was left scrambling on Friday morning after her dog Charlie caused adorable mayhem in the studio during a live broadcast. To mark Bring Your Dog to Work Day, the Today show sports reporter, 34, brought her beloved pet into work to perform some tricks - but things didn't quite go according to plan. Danika, dressed in a chic electric blue suit, attempted to deliver her sports bulletin while encouraging Charlie to sit politely with the help of a treat. But her on-air report quickly descended into chaos when Charlie began barking loudly, sparking another studio pup named Oscar to join in. Moments later, Charlie bolted across the set, running laps around the studio and running up to the desk of surprised co-hosts Karl Stefanovic and Sarah Abo, leaving Danika flustered. Despite the unexpected on-air moment, Danika took it all in good humour - later sharing a hilarious behind-the-scenes video to social media. 'Started in Bondi. Ended in studio with dog. What a day,' she captioned a clip showing herself posing confidently with Charlie. In February, it was revealed that Danika would be replacing Alex Cullen on Today after he was sensationally axed for accepting $50,000 from The Block billionaire Adrian Portelli. Danika said it was a dream come true to be sharing the Today desk with Sarah Abo, Karl Stefanovic, Jayne Azzopardi and Tim Davies. 'I'm truly honoured and so excited to be joining Today. It's been a dream of mine since I was a kid, waking up every morning to watch the show as I set my sights on a career in sports broadcasting,' she said in a statement to Daily Mail Australia. 'It's also a full-circle moment for me at Nine because, just 10 years ago, my first-ever job at the network was producing sport for Today. 'I'm also very grateful that I'll still be working with the Wide World of Sports crew on the footy every week throughout the NRL season.' Nine also revealed that US correspondent Alison Piotrowski has been appointed as co-host of Weekend Today. Charlie bolted across the set, running laps around the studio and running up to the desk of surprised co-hosts Karl Stefanovic and Sarah Abo, leaving Danika flustered She will join Clint Stanaway, Lizzie Pearl and Dan Anstey on the desk. 'After four years of crossing to the show from weird time zones across North America, it feels surreal to be waking up with Weekend Today back home in Australia,' Alison said. 'It's an honour, and I can't wait for the year ahead.' Danika previously presented Wide World of Sports and is a sideline reporter for Nine's NRL coverage. Daily Mail Australia previously revealed she was one of the front runners for Alex's presenting role on the breakfast show.

Harry Potter star Miriam Margolyes slammed over high asking price for Sydney rental property: 'There goes 93 per cent of my salary'
Miriam Margolyes has been slammed by fans over the asking price to rent her Sydney property. The Harry Potter star, 84, is trying to lease her two bedroom property in Bondi, and took to Facebook this week to drum up interest. 'Rush to rent this gorgeous Bondi property,' she captioned a post advertising the property listing. However, some fans were less than impressed with the asking price of $1,300 per week for the semi-detached house. 'Oh Miriam! $1300 for a two bedder with no car space is unfortunately not affordable for most of the population,' one follower wrote. 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. Another chimed in with: 'Lovely, but very expensive,' while a third offered a similar: 'There goes 93.75% of my salary', while one quipped: 'Will you take a Pez and a smile?' A fourth added a simple: '1300 a WEEK. Nope.' According to Miriam's asking price sits just above the average, with the median rent for a two-bedroom house in Bondi currently sitting at $1,245 per week. Miriam first listed the property on May 23, with the promise of 'timeless character and elegant period features'. The compact home offers timber floorboards throughout, a separate laundry room as well as a private rear courtyard. The Daily Telegraph reported that Miriam picked up the property back in 1984 for just $93,000. Miriam, who became an Australian citizen in 2013, also has a stunning home in the NSW Southern Highlands with her partner of 57 years, Heather Sutherland. Dividing her time between the idyllic rainforest retreat, Yarrawa Hill, and Clapham in South London, Miriam also rents out her tranquil escape for $500 per night for two people. It comes after Miriam took a swipe at her adopted home and revealed the few things she dislikes about Australia on The Kyle and Jackie O Show back in January. 'I love Australia, I think it's a fabulous country. I think it's going a bit wonky at the moment, like the rest of the world,' she shared. 'But no, I do care about it. And I am an Australian citizen. I became a citizen because my partner is Australian, and I wanted to be ever closer to Australia.' 'But now I think my allegiance has slipped slightly and gone to New Zealand.' Miriam also revealed the one thing she doesn't like about Australia, saying that the manners are 'f**king terrible'. Miriam and her Australian partner Heather first met in 1967 while working together on a BBC radio drama after the actor graduated from her studies at the University of Cambridge. They have been together ever since and Miriam gushed over their partnership in her 2021 autobiography, This Much Is True. 'We have been together for 53 years. It is a big achievement,' she penned at the time. 'An academic and a scholar, Heather is my polar opposite: reticent, incredibly private and reserved.' Heather is an Australian historian and former professor at the Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam in the Netherlands. Back in 2023, Miriam also revealed the secret to the couple's 57-year relationship during an appearance on The Project. 'I just think you must tell the truth, never let the sun set on a quarrel, listen to the other person, and don't look for - don't gamble with your happiness,' she said. 'I think adultery is nonsense. I think it wastes time. Cherish what you have,' the Babe star went on. 'And if it really isn't working, talk about it. But do it with kindness. That's all I can say.'

Powerball $100m draw: Huge mistake mystery winner made that could cost them the lot
Someone out there has won $100m and might not even know it yet because they made one bad call. A week on from the monster Powerball draw in which one ticket scooped the entire division one prize, and we are still none the wiser as to who is the lucky winner. Have they lost the ticket, left it in the glovebox or down the back of the couch? Not sure. But the chance it could be lost is enough to send shivers down the spine of any dedicated lotto player. And the mystery could have all been avoided by taking one simple step. The Lott's Khat McIntyre said the winner, who bought the ticket at a Bondi newsagency, could already be basking in their good fortune if they had registered it to The Lott Members Club. 'It's the question many Aussies have been asking during the past seven days: who won last week's $100 million Powerball prize, and do they know they've won?' she said. 'By registering your in-store or online lottery entry to The Lott Members Club, not only are we able to contact you straight after the draw if you win big, but your prize is secure. 'Even if you happen to lose or damage your winning ticket, if it is registered to you, we could still unite you with your prize, providing the ultimate peace of mind.' Joining is free and could turn out to be a million-dollar decision. Players in New South Wales have six years to claim their prizes. But surely they want to confirm their win as soon a possible? 'We pay division one prizes two weeks after the draw, so this prize is ready to be put into someone's bank account in a week's time – on Friday 27 June 2025. What a way to end the financial year!' Ms MacIntyre said. 'The first step is to give us a call on 131 868 if you think you are holding the division one winning entry.'

Dina Broadhurst steps out in skin-tight activewear as meets up with her ex Tony Benjamin in Bondi - after their dramatic romance made headlines
She was once at the centre of one of Sydney 's most talked-about love triangles. And on Thursday, glamorous 'nude' artist and model Dina Broadhurst was spotted reconnecting with her ex-boyfriend Tony Benjamin during a low-key meet-up in Bondi. The pair, who made headlines in 2023 when their steamy romance came to light, appeared relaxed and at ease as they enjoyed coffee and conversation in the winter sunshine before hitting Body by Berner for a Pilates session. Dina, 46, showed off her enviable figure in a fitted pair of black leggings and a cropped brown ribbed tank top. She layered her outfit with an oversized navy knit cardigan, which she wore off her shoulders for part of the outing. 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. Accessorising with oversized sunglasses and a pair of beige Yeezy slides, the social media star looked effortlessly chic as she strolled across the street clutching a takeaway coffee and what appeared to be a breakfast wrap. Tony, meanwhile, kept things casual in a dark sweatshirt and shorts paired with neon-accented sneakers as he laughed and chatted with Dina outside the popular local café. At one point, the former couple were seen sharing a hearty laugh, with Dina beaming as she leaned across the table. Later, they left the café together and appeared deep in conversation. Their public reunion is sure to raise eyebrows among fans who remember their tumultuous history. Dina and Tony were first linked in early 2023, with the pair quickly becoming fixtures on Sydney's social scene. However, their whirlwind romance took a dramatic turn just months later when it was revealed Tony had split from his wife, Shannon Benjamin, following his relationship with the Bondi-based artist. The saga sparked a wave of headlines, with sources close to the couple claiming the relationship had 'fizzled out' just as quickly as it began. The pair, who made headlines in 2023 when their steamy romance came to light, appeared relaxed and at ease as they enjoyed coffee and conversation in the winter sunshine before hitting Body by Berner for a pilates session Dina, 46, showed off her enviable figure in a fitted pair of black leggings and a cropped brown ribbed tank top In August last year, Dina fuelled speculation of a new romance when she posted a steamy Instagram photo of herself sunbaking in a bikini while a mystery man – believed by some to be Tony – caressed her back. However, she kept mum about her relationship status, never confirming whether she had rekindled things with her former flame. The high-society beauty has been romantically linked to some of Sydney's richest and most powerful men, but Dina doesn't like to be tied down these days. Most recently, she was once again spotted cosying up to John Winning Jr., known to his friends as Herman. In a huge love life twist, the pair were recently spotted on a double date in Coogee with cricketer Michael Clarke and his girlfriend Arabella Sherborne, the exclusive details of which were revealed by Mail+. Their shock outing came after Dina was also romantically tied to her boy toy Kengi - a former Love Island star who is, at 23, less than half her age. The pair secretly linked up in Paris, with Dina doing her best to keep him hidden from the public eye. But after Daily Mail Australia revealed their secret tryst, she began sharing steamy snaps online from their five-star Parisian love nest. Accessorising with oversized sunglasses and a pair of beige Yeezy slides, the social media star looked effortlessly chic as she strolled across the street clutching a takeaway coffee and what appeared to be a breakfast wrap The saga sparked a wave of headlines, with sources close to the couple claiming the relationship had 'fizzled out' just as quickly as it began However, upon her return to Australia, Dina sought comfort in the arms of ex-boyfriend John Jr., sparking speculation about whether they were back together. Dina and Kengi shacked up at the five-star Hotel Costes and tried to keep a lid on their romance to start with, only dropping a few hints by sharing photos from the same locations. But one of Dina's holiday snaps gave the game away: the back of Kengi's head was featured in a photo taken at the Louvre. Her fling with Kengi followed her blink-and-you'll-miss-it trip to Chile for some fun with John Jr., who seems to be her go-to on-again-off-again boyfriend. She and John Jr. originally began dating in March last year, but they broke up in early December on the morning of the wedding of Bernadette Fahey and Jordan Sukkar. The pair were both expected to attend the couple's Scots College wedding, but when Dina rocked up solo, the high-profile guests knew something was amiss. Sources revealed at the time Dina came to the realisation their lifestyles were not compatible after eight months together. John Jr. is the son of appliances mogul John Winning Sr. and his family is worth an estimated $700m.
