Jamie Durie Incurs The Fiery Wrath Of Prince Philip In The Middle Of A Field Of Pretty Flowers

10:03AM Clem Bastow | Jamie Durie – who I should briefly congratulate for winning gold at the Chelsea Flower Show for his garden created with pal and nurseryman Wes Fleming – has learned that despite all his hilarious malapropisms and gaffes, Prince Philip can apparently turn his sense of humour on and off at will. Mr Queen was inspecting the Flower Show, and expressed particular fondness for a bushy plant in the midst of Durie’s winning exhibit. Which is probably where the Royal-loving Brits would’ve left it, but Durie just had to go and open his dirty colonial mouth… The prince’s reaction stunned Mr Durie, who had just spent a pleasant few minutes showing the Queen around his garden. “It was my first experience of Prince Philip,” he said. “He said to me, ‘I do like your tree fern’. I said, ‘Actually, it’s not a tree fern, it’s a member of the cycad family. It’s a Macrozamia moorei.’ “And with that, he walked off. As he was walking away he said, ‘I didn’t come here to get a lesson’ under his breath. “I didn’t hear him say it, one of the boys heard him. I thought, ‘Well, you did ask.’ I was trying to be as courteous as I could and give him the right information.” Poor old Jamie, all that time spent doing backflips and wearing g-strings has obviously numbed him to such monarchist niceties. But I say give the old duke what for – he’s spent too long getting away with calling anyone who isn’t white “savages” and probably having a go at “poofs” and still looking askance in the forests for “Jerry” or “Charlie”. I daresay old Liz was probably glad to have someone else set him straight for a chance. More »

All The Semi-Nude Backflips In The World Can’t Save Jamie Durie’s Relationship

11:30AM Clem Bastow | We all know Jamie Durie is Oprah’s new favourite plaything, but has he been doing the dirty on his long-term GF while working in the US? That’s the word on the streets, if you believe Confidential, who received an anonymous tip-off stating that the reason Durie has parted ways with Nadine Bush (his partner of ten years) is because he’s been seeing another woman in the US. Naturally, Durie is denying the claims. While the Channel 7 star yesterday confirmed that his romance with Bush was over, he denied any wrongdoing – instead putting the break-up down to the difficulties of his constantly working overseas. “We’ve been working through a lot of issues in the past few months and one of the biggest ones is that it’s very hard to have a relationship when you’re working in two countries,” Durie said. “Nadine and I have enjoyed some great years together and she’s a very special girl who does and will always mean the world to me. “There is no animosity in our break-up but obviously it’s not easy for either of us.” What’s our take on it all? Well, we just refuse to believe that the fresh-faced, earnest young man of this video would turn out to be a bounder. Then again, we all thought Heath and Michelle were going to stay together forever and that Phil Spector was a bang up dude, so who are we to judge! More »

US gossip TV show Entertainment Tonight aired raunchy footage of the Australian gardening guru’s former career as a stripper. In Australia, it’s no secret Durie was one of the stars of beefcake troupe Manpower, but in the US it’s not so well known. Blah, blah, blah… What can we say? We silence our competition with a dainty yawn. PH34R U5!!1! More »
