And on Saturday, Nadia Bartel set pulses racing as she put on a leggy display, showing off her trim pins on Instagram.

Uploading a photo of her sitting on a furry chair, the 35-year-old Melbourne fashion designer looked relaxed as she rocked a long-sleeve knit and short shorts that made it appear that she’d skipped wearing any pants.

Nadia appeared to be wearing minimal makeup, and had her eyes closed while she looked away from the camera. 

Despite the plummeting temperatures, Nadia revealed she was actually a fan of the cold weather, as it made being back in lockdown in Melbourne easier. 

She told her followers: ‘I’m loving this cold Melbourne weather as it doesn’t make me feel bad about staying inside and doing nothing.’

The couple were careful not to post any pictures together, likely due to Keira’s contractual obligations ahead of the premiere of Bachelor In Paradise next week. 

Earlier this week, Daily Mail Australia exclusively revealed the pair have been dating for several months after they were spotted looking smitten while out for a stroll around Melbourne’s iconic Tan Track in late May. 

It’s believed Keira and Mathew began secretly dating in March, a few months after the Bachelor spin-off wrapped filming in Fiji. 

Their relationship all but confirms that Keira doesn’t find love on Bachelor in Paradise, which was filmed in Fiji last year and premieres next week.

‘I swear I’m still smiling,’ Dave told his fans, adding the hashtag ‘maskstate’. 

It comes after he confirmed to Daily Mail Australia that The Masked Singer would be delayed due to travel restrictions between New South Wales and Victoria. 

‘It’s delayed as far as I know,’ Dave said on Thursday.  

Dave acts as a judge and panelist alongside Jackie ‘O’ Henderson, Dannii Minogue and formerly Lindsay Lohan.

 Season two of The Masked Singer was scheduled to begin filming later this month.  

Jackie O is based in Sydney for her KIIS FM breakfast show, and the new rules mean she may not be able to travel interstate for a while.

This is despite the fact Channel 10 has already confirmed her return to the franchise.

Host Osher Günsberg is also based in Sydney. 

On Tuesday, Channel 10 announced it would be impossible for Lindsay Lohan to travel to Australia to join the local production due to the government’s restrictions on international travel.

Instead, she is said to be replaced by Auckland-based comedian and actor Urzila Carlson, according to  the Herald Sun on Friday.  

No internationals! Earlier this week, it was revealed that Lindsay Lohan wouldn't be able to return to Australia to film The Masked Singer due to COVID-19 travel restrictions

The influencer explained that she tries to be honest with her followers about life as a single parent, insisting: ‘I don’t like to portray a perfect scenario. It’s not perfect.’
