The couple had been introduced by Rupert’s niece Penny Fowler in Australia, and went public in October that year putting on a cosy display at the Rugby World Cup final.

A note of the meeting revealed Wilkinson was asked if she had any questions and mentioned she had been nominated for a Logie. Explaining she did not expect to win because the Logies were organised by her old employer, the rival Nine network (part of Nine Entertainment which owns this masthead), she proceeded to read the speech she had prepared.
