This year's Bachelor Australia's contestants exposed

This is the pop culture podcast that says exactly what you're thinking but too afraid to say. Hosted by millennial entertainment journalists Holly Richards and Ali Cromarty, Real Talk picks apart the things everyone is talking about, and sometimes, the gals will tickle your pickle with something out of left field. Holly and Ali are best friends in work/life who have their finger on the pop culture pulse and boy do they love to talk. They know this stuff inside and out and even if they didn't, they're never shy of giving an opinion or seven. No issue is too small, big or untouchable. Every week, Holly and Ali go deep on the latest celebrity goings on, reality TV highs and lows, who you need to follow on Instagram or what you need to be watching on Netflix. So, in short, listen if you like fun. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

SPECIAL: The most bingeable TV series of all time

This week we are joined by none other than former Married At First Sight star Martha Kalifatidis! The beauty guru and influencer dishes on everything from how she thinks this years’ MAFS cast aren’t being completely genuine to her real life wedding plans with MAFS husband Michael Brunelli to her struggles with anxiety and trolling during last year’s show. She also discusses her self-described “unhealthy” relationship with food, spending a year in a wheelchair as a teenager and her plans to launch her own skincare line. 
To go in the running for the competition Martha is offering her followers, tell ShopBack in a 30-60 second Instagram video shared with their followers, what extremes they go to to save money & what their favourite brands are on ShopBack.
