Meanwhile, Jessica is a curvaceous model who is known for sharing fitness tips and inspirational quotes on her Instagram for her 90,000 followers.

‘Just putting it out there, I am not on Byron Baes, no, no, no… I’m not,’ Elyse said in a video of herself while at the beach with her newborn.

Ruby posted a promotional image for Byron Baes on Instagram Stories last week and wrote: ‘For everyone asking if I’ll be on this show, I declined the offer.’
‘Goodbye Byron, you are officially cooked. How embarrassing,’ she added.
Ruby also used the hashtag #ShireRepeat?, in reference to Channel 10’s short-lived 2012 reality show about the glamorous residents of Sydney’s Sutherland Shire.

Byron Baes will run for eight episodes in total.
A press release for the program describes Byron Baes as a ‘docu-soap series’.
‘This is our love letter to Byron Bay,’ it states.
‘It’s not just Chris [Hemsworth] and Zac [Efron]’s backyard; it’s the playground of more celebrity-adjacent influencers than you can poke a selfie-stick at.’
There will be ‘fights, flings and heartbreak’ on offer, too.
