related tea. However, I beg to differ. I think the most goss comes to the surface after the series finale when the cast finally gains complete access to their Instagram accounts. It may take a little longer, but usually, it’s worth it. Thankfully, they gained access this week.
Originally, the 2023 cast were set to get their IG accounts back on May 8 once the series had finished airing in the UK. But due to a delay, their access was halted and they didn’t receive full access until May 15.
Between the airing of the finale and May 15, the social media team had been posting on their behalf. In the meantime, the gang have been running amok on and I bet there’s a bunch of execs who were kicking themselves for not being down with the kids enough to chuck a TikTok ban into the contract too.
According to the cast had meetings with Channel Nine to do an official handover of their logins and when they went to their account, they found their IG messages had been completely wiped.
“Apparently [producers] are saying we can post but can’t say we are back or that we have our accounts back on our accounts yet,” an anonymous cast member told the site.
So, let’s have a look at which 2023 contestants have made the most of so far.
As has been very outspoken about the fact she has a child, it’s only fitting that she used her first IG post back on her to salute fellow mothers to celebrate Mother’s Day.
She posted a video of her patting her son’s back with the caption:
“Happy Mother’s Day to all those mama’s that put their babies first So incredibly lucky this little boy chose me. He’s taught me patience, joy, innocence, and unconditional love. He will always be my number one, and I’ll always protect him. I’ll always be forever grateful that he had saved my life. #ihaveachild. [sic]”
Say what you want about Alyssa but girly is self-aware and I love that.
Alyssa also has another IG account for her cake-baking business but this account remains on private.
left the experiment halfway through after her on-screen relationship with crashed and burned. She’s now thriving with a new boyfriend, .
Her first post showed off the makeup artist’s impeccable skin. I mean, she looks airbrushed. Drop your secrets, sis.
She captioned the post “My Monday just got a whole lot better”.
Look, I’ll admit. Despite having his IG back nothing much has really changed with ‘ posts. I thought that now that is out in the open that they’d be all loved up on grid but there’s none of that to be seen…well, aside from their initial relationship announcement.
I think we’ll just have to accept that Duncan’s presence on the social media site is shirtless man poses and a one-liner caption. I’m okay with that.
hasn’t posted about her either!
Instead, she’s used her newfound freedom to post a bunch of pics that showcase her gorgeous look from ‘s Dinner Party.
She captioned it by keeping it simple: “Cupids chokehold ”.
If you haven’t heard, has well and truly moved on from his on-screen wife . In fact, he’s got a new boo, , and they seem to be pretty loved up.

She captioned her post “Beauty and the (I don’t need to) Beast Few snaps of what I’ve been up to lately ~”.
It seems like has celebrated her new-found Insta freedom by throwing a cowboy-themed party. Or, at least, posting pics about it.
It’s nice to see showcasing her life outside of but also that her friendship with is still going strong.
She captioned the post “If she wants a cowboy, I’ll cowboy the best ”.
Yeehaw, indeed!
Dream boy of the season, , decided to toast his time on the show by posting a bunch of pap pics taken by The Daily Mail’s senior showbiz reporter who is so intertwined with the contestant that he’s basically a star.
He captioned it “Thanks for the mems” and tagged Ali’s Insta.
Sweet pea came back to IG with a pretty blue tick next to his name and it seems like he’s pretty damn stoked about it. Like many of his costars, Rups shared a bunch of pics from the last few months.
“Got some tick and that’s what life’s all about hey ” he wrote.
I mean, absolutely not but go off, king.
I have such a soft spot for this man. He’s like a golden retriever in human form.
used her first post back to shout out the other gals and her normie friends who supported her throughout her dumpster fire of a relationship with .
“These are the women that helped get me through my darkest and toughest time. I respect and adore each of these queens. They were there for me when I was at my lowest,” she wrote.
“Surround yourself with people that lift you up and cheer for you. These are my people and I am so thankful for them . I am blessed with an amazing family, but friends are the family we choose .
“If you have been through or are going through a difficult experience, please reach out for help. Seeking professional guidance will give you the tools and strategies to cope. It’s the best thing I did for myself, and it will now help me in all aspects of my life moving forward .”
Aw. This may be cheesy but there’s nothing I love more than gals supporting gals.
decided to keep her first official post simple by posting one happy snap with her beau Ollie Skelton.
She captioned it “my love”.
Very cute, no?
Evelyn and Duncan may be the shiny new couple on the block but these two gave the few fans who are watching for love, and not the drama, exactly what they were craving. I’m so happy that they’re still going strong.
Well, there you have it. While this is all the posts so far and most of them err on the wholesome side, keep an eye out because I’d bet my first born child that some tea is bound to come out in the next few weeks.
