PETER’S HEALTH SCARE
Peter has faced more than a few challenges in his life, including a lengthy and painful battle with chronic eczema, which left him bedridden and hospitalised twice. “I eventually found out I was allergic to the cortisone cream the doctors had prescribed me. I really struggled,” he says. “It was by far the toughest experience of my life so far.”
ANNELIESE: ‘I PRETENDED TO HAVE A FIANCE TO BE ON TV!’
The Victorian student applied for US hit reality show Say Yes To The Dress – despite being single! “I turned up at a family friend’s house with six outfit changes to create some realistic photos that made it look like we’d been in a very long and happy relationship,” she says. But it wasn’t to be. “I never heard back [from the producers].”
HENRY’S HEARTBREAKING TRIBUTE
Henry is doing the show in memory of his mum Jenny, 62, who tragically passed away from pancreatic cancer just four weeks before filming began. “Every time it was tough out there I remembered how tough mum had it for the last three years,” the labourer tells us. “Because of her I knew I had the strength in me to keep going.”
MARK W: ‘I NEARLY APPLIED FOR THE BACHELOR!’
Mark’s life could’ve been very different if he’d followed his Bachelor dreams in 2013. “When the first one came on I thought about applying for it. I was a secret fan,” he confesses. And good news, ladies – the former special ops commander is still looking for love. “I’m always attracted to people who make the most of life and are ambitious,” he reveals. Could he find The One under the Samoan sun?
AIMEE: ‘I’VE LOST MY BEER GUT!’
Anything the petite blonde sets her mind to, she can do. In a year she lost 10kg gained from beer, fried chicken and unhealthy carbs. “RIP BEER GUT, I will miss you,” she captioned an Insta snap of her slimmed-down self. Now look at her abs!
